    As much as I would slightly rather City win the title to Liverpool, I'd still much rather see the Chavs win it. So I definitely want us to win this game. 4th place is still looking next to impossible, but we have to keep trying, as you never know with Arsenal still having some tough games left. We would have to win every game left, to atleast apply some pressure.

    In all seriousness though, City will probably win this game. We've not done well against any of the big sides so I'd be suprised if we pull of an upset here. My head is telling me City will win this 3-1 :biggrin:

    I hate both equally, but City have won the title recently, so it wouldn't be as big a deal. Where as the dippers have never won the PL, so it's always a good stick to beat there fans with.

    If they were both in a CL final together, which will hopefully never happen, id prefer Liverpool, as City's lack of success in Europe is a good stick to beat there fans with:biggrin:

    I heard carrick could play central def again. How does that make you feel? I cant say he did anything wrong at the weekend but then again, not sure he had alot to do.

    That's bad news for us, his goal tally may be decent, but he's a fair weather goal scorer, who never scores important goals in tight games. Only ever scores when City are 3 or 4 up:biggrin:

    I've not been on here for a while, but thought I'd come back and have a look at ppl's thoughts on United... and give my own.

    Starting with the game tomorrow, all I'm looking for is a performance. Everything now is about looking at the strengths in the team and taking the positives from the squad, as well as identifying where we need to rebuild.

    I don't know about anyone else but Saturday's game showed the good and the bad. The good being Mata playing as the AM behind Rooney. The way Mata pulled the strings is the best I've seen anyone in that position for us all season. The inter-play between Mata, Kagawa and Rooney was like a breath of fresh air. I think the RVP injury could be a blessing in disguise as Mata can finally play as the AM. And he MUST play that position.

    So what's the bad from Saturday's match? Well quite frankly, the 3 donkeys playing behind - Fellaini, Fletcher and in particular, Young are a mess, and the game (perhaps more than any other) highlighted why we desperately need to rebuild the CM and DM positions. As well as that, I think we got lucky again, with Evra as usual not interested and already looking finished at the club.

    So, for tomorrow's match, assuming we have our CB's back, I'm expecting more of the same from our front 3 (the good), more of the same from the central midfield (the bad), and as a result of the incompetence of our CM, our arse exposed at the back in defence (the ugly). I'm really hoping Nani gets a start, and if not him then Januzaj. We'll probably lose but I won't mind that too much as long as our front 3 (as well as our wingers) build on our fluid play up front from Saturday, and fwiw anyway I only see Chelsea winning the league so the result won't matter except to check Liverpool's over-confidence at the moment.

    God knows PMK, it depends on which United will turn up.

    IF(and its a massive if)Utd win the CL and City end up with only the CoC that won't be true, but if City finish higher and have a cup and Utd finish 6th/7th he'll be spot on.

    He's made himself look like a right tit with that comment, if that was Moyes, everyone would be having a go at him.
