Some City players looking knackered. 5mins more. Wasn't that what was given in the infamous debut of Fergie time or was that 4?
Manchester City football development executive Patrick Vieira on Twitter: "Five minutes to go and City are controlling the game. I am not worried at all." ------- Thought he was going to regret that.
Utd let me down, thrown away the title with that result agaisnt Everton at home and Fergie is rattled! I guess you have to admire Mancini in many ways as he has remained cool and won the mind games battle so far. The game agaisnt Newcastle is going to be a cracker!
Newcastle's run in looks pretty nightmarish, doesn't it? Good. We need them to drop points, as we almost certainly will.
Yeah, I think a draw is possibly the best outcome we could get from Chelsea/Newcastle but if someone has to win I'd rather Newcastle.
I think the fact is, City are just a better side. It's not always apparent, but it certainly was tonight.
Oh well Luke, at least our rivals didn't do a double over us for an agg score of 7-1! It was pretty painful watching Spurs lose a points lead, but come on, tell me, how much does that one hurt!
We can loan them Bostock next season - that's the only creative Spurs midfielder they have a hope of signing, although that won't stop the tabloid tapping-up process that started a couple of weekends ago...
Simply put, MUPLC don't have the level of disposable income to spend £40m on a single player. They may spend £40m in the summer, but they need to stretch the budget - such as when they spent around £45m on De Gea, Jones and Young last summer. They're more likely to try and bully Everton for players - The Process has already begun with Baines, after all - whilst I wouldn't put it past them to try and unsettle a couple of Newcastle's midfield, perhaps Jonas.
here we are lambasting United for being a poor team..which they are..however it just shows how poor we are and how we are not ready to be serious challengers for anything..considering that the weakest United team in years still managed the double over us...i couldnt really give a damn about any other team no more as that realisation hit me tonight that we are just as gash...and with no balls to boot.
As HBIC says, Utd Can't afford him. If Levy has already turned down £40mm, who knows what it will take for him to sell.
I'd have thought that Cabaye and Tiote were the more likely targets, Croydon. He might get Bryan Robson out of retirement as an alternative, though.
"Sir Alex Ferguson accused Roberto Mancini of "haranguing" the match officials throughout the 1-0 defeat for Manchester United. "He refereed the game," said Ferguson of Mancini after the rival managers clashed during the second half. " You couldn't make it up!
Mancini's response was priceless: "And him? He doesn't talk with the referees or fourth officials - never." The tiresome mind games may have worked on Wenger and Benitez, but they failed to work on Mourinho, they failed to work on Ancelotti, and now they failed to work on Mancini.
If we want any of your players we will take them, you have zero evidence to suggest this historically has not happened. As for Fergie's mind games failing on Ancelotti - are you aware that we won the League last season and dumped Chelsea out of the Champions League? When has Harry Redknapp ever tactically outsmarted any of his counterparts? He's a joke with one pot to show for 40 years of work.
