What a potential hideous day for English football - city possibly winning the title (Ive never supported either Manchester or Newcastle so much in my life) and Hodgson for the national team. God help us on both accounts.

The world is a happier place.
Poor game, great result!! I'd say Man U were marginally crisper passing but zero penetration. City seemed to occasionally lack belief, and were poor in front of goal when they had opportunities!! We had a lovely trifle at half time tho'!!
I agree. I felt that would happen when I saw the teams. Utd have been most effective going forward this year with Valencia, Welbeck, Young and Rooney playing together and I think Ferguson overreacted to the last result when they leaked 4 by playing Park who was largely ineffective.Quote:

Interesting match and perhaps more to come yet.
I can quite see a narrow City win against Newcastle, but I could see Swansea taking quite a tonking and the goal difference being a lot closer going in to the last game.
Tick Tock...dingalingalingalingalingaling
just watched the highlights and from the bits I saw justice was done. well done City.
but where's Danbert? punch Drunk in some bar? delirious with happiness?
Stay calm its not over yet...
I couldn't believe it when that dog eating tosser came out for the second half.Quote:

We have nobody who can kick people up the arse and grab the game by the scruff of the neck when we're playing badly.
Think of all the great players we have had over the years and then compare them to the frauds and bottle jobs that pass for united players these days.
The worst thing is it's only going to get worse.
f*cking hell, i'm absolutely gutted. I hate those blue nosed bastards.
Congrats danbert et al, comissers the heathens et al. Did not watch it but the result sounds like it was almost stalemate.
Awful awful awful game. Danbert's version may be different though ;-)Quote:

What a night.
What a wonderful, wonderful win.
Maradona singing na na na nanana City.
Fergie cracking up.
But we've got to stay focused and get the job done now
It's in our hands again, we can be 3 points clear by the time United play again.
Let's not underestimate either Newcastle or QPR
Come on City
It wasn't an end to end classic but given the tension and what was at stake I thought the match was quite absorbing.
At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, next weekend is absolutely key now. Whoever is top on Sunday night will win the title in my opinion as I can see both clubs winning their final matches the following week. (Some people think it might be tough for MU at Sunderland but they have nothing to play for and their recent form has been poor.)
MC's game at Newcastle on Sunday is as huge as last night's. I'd now put City as slight favourites for the title on the basis that with two games to go it is in their hands but I'd say it is no higher than 55:45.
