    Every time I see Mancini I think of him saying "Mario". I'll miss that.

    This

    Great game and the best result! I didn't want the scousers nor $$hitty to get 3 points so 2 points dropped by both teams. What was Reina thinking? <laugh>

    Hart made more mistakes this game than poor Gea facing spurs ... will newspapers pile same pressure on him? NO
    Cech saved the ball in Saturday but directed it to NU players who scored from the rebound ... (almost same as the one Gea been criticized over when Fabio felt asleep) .. will newspapers pile pressure on him? NO
    Reina.. his 8th mistakes this season leading to a goal ... will newspapers pile pressure on him? NO

    is just like media trying their best to destabilize UTD side and poor young players like Gea

    Cech could have done better but has had a good season. De Gea is very talented and given a season or two will be the best keeper in the Prem

    He was thinking "I'm so great. All the Liverpool fans say I'm so great. I don't even need to claim this ball, I'm so great I'll just stop him scoring with the power of how great I am. Oh ****, he scored. Must be Utd's fault, I'll just blame Howard Webb and the fans will all believe me. How great am I?"

    No it's not. It's just the lazy media and pundits trying to make a story out of nothing. They know we're big news, so they'll keep jumping on everything one of our players does.

    Reina and Cech are old news now, and nowhere near the title so no one cares. Pointing imaginary fingers at a new keeper who plays for a top club is simply the easiest way they can think of to sell papers / get people to listen to them.

    People are jealous of the best and biggest club in Britain.

    I still think Pool are hated more, especially when you consider how unsuccesful they are, and they are still so arrogant/hated

    Question.

    Do we have any rivals currently?

    Ones that count and are actually a rival to our chances. City are a threat but of course dont count. Chelsea are a joke and Arsenal and Liverpool are working damn hard to make Chelsea look serious.

    So that leaves us with Wigan, Bolton and FC United.

    hmm .. not sure tbh .. yes their fans sometimes can be irritating
    some are saying Leeds are most hated club in England too? i remember I read that somewhere and they did actually topped the table of that surveys
    in either case, whether it is Liverpool or Leeds, ...UTD are really among most hated clubs in england ..amazingly, i never seen anyone survey that put chelsea at top of any survey, i was expecting fans to be jealous of Abra money
    here is the latest survey i seen in skysport website.. UTD still on top <grr>.. amazingly City moved 2nd

    No worries: Blues cool FFP fears after UEFA warning
    Manchester City have moved to assure fans the club is on the right track after a fresh warning of Financial Fair Play from UEFA.

    Manchester City are confident they won&#8217;t fall foul of UEFA&#8217;s tough new financial fair play rules aimed at curbing the spending of Europe&#8217;s super-rich clubs.

    The Blues, together with Paris St Germain, have been warned by UEFA they will have to prove they are not &#8216;cheating&#8217; the new regulations by having huge sponsorship deals with companies closely associated with their owners.

    City have a £350m deal with Etihad, the national airline of Abu Dhabi, while the club&#8217;s owner is Sheikh Mansour from the country&#8217;s ruling family.

    However, the Etihad sponsorship package for the stadium and playing shirt naming rights, plus the multi-million pound City Campus development, is over 10 years.

    The Blues&#8217; hierarchy were delighted to halve their losses last year, while breaking through the £200m revenue for the first time.

    Also the transfer deadline day deal to sell Mario Balotelli for a higher than expected £20m to AC Milan has removed one of the club&#8217;s biggest earners &#8211; he was on a reputed £175,000 a week &#8211; from the wage bill, also boosting City&#8217;s determination to keep within the rules that if broken could lead to expulsion from the Champions League.

    Consequently, club officials say fans have nothing to worry about as the accounts WILL comply with the rules that come into force for the 2014/15 season.
