    As in, Arsenal Are above Utd in the league. Or Arsenal Are performing better than Utd, or Arsenal Are scoring more than Utd. Or Arsenal Are better than Utd.

    Glad we've sorted that one out <whistle>

    The way we started today was little different tbh. Unlike Arsenal though, City obliged. We could and should have been better today, but Middlesborough is up next so watch us turn world class again <whistle>

    For the time being. I'll hold my hands up if the situation remains in May <whistle>

    Tbh I'd like you to remain in the CL by getting a result in Munich. Which you can do and that should be good for the English football too. I am fed up with the Spanish, French, Italian and German press trashing our football.

    Sad state of affairs when the opposition have more respect for the club that the fans isn't it.

    United had what three shots on goal at home because they prefer to pass the ball sideways with no risk.

    LVG is scared to lose

    Only one side was taking any risks yesterday. The other played defensively and then went even more defensively.

    Last season your lot and City played out a very similar game. Pundits praised it as a tactical master piece from two sides competing for the title.

    Stare at it for a very very long time. Eventually it will sink in.

    We're ****ter than Southampton were at this stage last season. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Being serious for a minute, I admire your Astro like unflinching loyalty to all things United being right and perfect. However, your arrogant, patronising approach to anyone who disagrees with you is fairly cringeworthy. Especially when you're categorically wrong. Again, quite similar to Astro.

    I'm rarely wrong. It pays to double check everything before posting as someone's likely keeping a dossier on you on not606. 3 years from now who knows what someone will bring up. I made a right mess of the word 'laid' last night. Someone documented that. I will be reminded around 2020.

    I call things a I see them. Moyes, a disaster. I didnt need to pretend things were rosy just to look like a better fan, he was awful. As long as I see progress I am happy. Van Gaals been good for us, he's improved us, we are a better side.

    When that stops happening, I will be the first to call for his head, of a manager isn't taking a team forward he needs to go. If he is, then its madness to sack them. That's what some are now calling for.

    Its madness on a level only Perez at Madrid could understand, because he's the type of idiot who does OT.

    Oh, and I speak how I am spoken to. To whoever I am replying too.

    And everyone was raving about Southampton as the second coming (not of Rooney, he's way past that) last season.

    No point reading beyond your first sentence! Di Maria! Falcao! So much more!

    Carry on pal. You genuinely seem to believe you represent the majority. Good luck to you. Just a word of advice. If you ever get to OT and fancy a drink before or after the game, keep your views to yourself!

    It was supposed to be taken as a joke Stan, you're usually a witty guy, thought you would have got that tbh.

    Why? Do you know all 76000? Are they the mates you were talking about before?

    Do you have directions by any chance?

    Oh and I think the fanbase in general is split. I'm on the more positive side of the fence. Not sure what's wrong with it.

    No, not really statto.

    Let's just say I set the bar a fair bit higher than you clearly do.

    Maybe it's all that attacking football I imagined we used to play but didn't really.

    I think when you spend most of the game in the opponents half it's called attacking <ok>
