Just as well Utd held off collapse as long as they did

Yup, I think City would have carried on getting a goal a minute there.

Oh shit, whoa

Let's hear Siralex talk his way out of that one, redfacedcunt

that was most funny

Anyway - could have been worse - Old Trafford's a difficult place to play - got to be happy with that

Ferg Out

jesus. if city don't win this i will get the train and run naked down deansgate.

Any hilarious "Fergie out" threads on Redcafe yet?

Actually kind of dreading playing City this season. That was an incredible performance, barely let United have a shot, completely ran midfield and outstanding displays from Silva and Balotelli. It was pretty much perfect. And the confidence they take from it will carry them a long way. Plus they really do have the squad to maintain CL and PL challenges in spring.

How good must Bayern be, I'm thinking?

Better than Utd, we know that much for sure

Yeah, I think they've got to be firm favourites. The (pointless) Evans sending off is what turned it into a thrashing, but City would have won anyway today (albeit probably 1-0 or 2-0). For all the possession United had in the first half, they never looked remotely like scoring. And in the second half City were bossing it up to the sending off.

That Silva pass for Milner for the second

silva pass to dzeko for the last

When was the last time United lost so heavily on the league?

At home, 1955

Away, I guess 5-0 Newcastle in 96 or thereabout

this is why getting thrashed by city didn't bother me tbh- we're not equipped to handle movement like they possess, we weren't all that bad that day, we just have dawson- utd weren't all that bad today, they just had evans until he got sent off.

Meanwhile Blackburn are causing us problems...

We lost 6-3 at Southampton the week after the 5-0 at Newcastle. We also lost 5-0 at Chelsea in the 99/00 season.

Lost 5-0 to Chelsea in 99 as well, and didn't Southampton beat them 6-2 around that time?

x-post

thought clattenburg had an off day today as well, fergie won't be happy with how he was caught out for the red card

We lost 6-3 at Southampton the week after the 5-0 at Newcastle.

Saints defeat was a "blip" caused by grey jersey iirc. Toon game was the one rounded off with that great Philippe Albert chip wasn't it?

'blip' grey jersey result was in fact a 3-1 loss iirc

Saints defeat was a "blip" caused by grey jersey iirc

Nope, that's a myth that's sprung up. The grey jersey game was the season before, in the spring, just after United had pegged Newcastle back. 3-0 down at half-time, changed into blue-and-white, 'won' the second half 1-0.
(xp)

6-3 was ostenstadt and that le-tiss chip, right?

I thought they changed jerseys at half time against Southampton in the 6-3 game - maybe getting them mixed up. So long ago.

xposts obv

anyway, how's this for a way to polish off a humping

FUCK. Had something of an epic night last night, ended up watching the rugby world cup final hammered and then lapsing into a coma. Was woken up by my flatmate minutes after the Evans sending off and then events rapidly spiralled out of control. Just been laughing manically for the last hour

It's just a dream. Go back to sleep. Watch MOTD2 tonight and it'll all be OK.

Fucking Silva though. Too good.

Could have been worse, could have been Liverpool.

FUCK

I'm going to keep posting that at intervals

Anyone else hear Joe Hart at the end - "I was getting death threats all second half!"

Could this be a permanent shift in the balance of power in west London?

SHITFUCK

I know none of you care right now but VDV just scored a beautiful one.

he dropped one in the euros according to gary lineker iirc

i'm away from all media, barely in phone coverage, so ta matt

Where would rooney rank in fwd options currently available to the top six?

Is that strictly necessary?

Kaboul's having a shocker and his distribution is atrocious. Thank god for Friedel and Parker because our defence looks leaky as hell.

CUNT

it's fair musing imo

I'd have him ahead of defoe as impact sub for vdv

LACK OF MIDFIELD

QPR emerge from the shadows of their more successful neighbours. Story of the day.
