At least Warnock has got his name in the Leeds United record books - first time we've ever conceded 7 at home:thunbdown:Quote:

Leeds must be bad for F*rest to put 7 past them :closed:
Or put another way..........Leeds edged out at home in a 10 goal thriller :w00t:Quote:

Actually, this may turn out to be a blessing in disguise - at first glance a very good disguise. But the last few matches before last night's horror show have been quite respectable performances. This probably suckered Warnock (and Bates) into believing that the team wasn't all that bad and only needed tinkering with. There should be no such illusion now and hopefully there will be wholesale restructuring of the team in the summer.
I simled, because it was only 7.
Arsenal had 8 shoved pass em earlier in the season.
*dons rose-tinted glasses*
Forrest's winning margin was only one better than ours over them last year at Elland Road.
Even rosier tinted glasses, we beat them 4-0 at their place in November so it's actually 7-7 on aggregate (although they do win on away goals).Quote:

Funny thing was if you looked at the statistics on the BBC website, at the end of the game, Leeds had 53% of possession compared to only 47% for Forest.
Come on Chelsea!

Chelsea are responsible for City's biggest league defeat this season ..... 2-1 :wink:
1-0 to Chelsea.. totally against the run of play to be fair.. City have bossed the second half..Quote:

Good match and the last goal was a bit special: Nasri plays a 1-2 from a long way off gets into the area while Tevez is holding the ball up then back heels to Nasri who scores :thumbup:
We will take a huge boost from that result. When we play Fulham on Monday night we will be 2pts above the rags and the pressure will be on them again. :thumbup:
Yeah you will, but you were awful in the first half.. don''t think Chelsea can have any complaints, City were better. Both the Chelsea goal (Ruiz knocked Barry) and the handball for the penalty could have gone either way so I think they balanced themselves out..Quote:

Great year. City have the stronger squad, United the easier run in.
Huge win by City. I reckon its 50-50 now. Fergie is gold dust.. No other manager in football could have us in the hunt now.. even without taking out our captain..
Definitely. For a neutral it's all good stuff. I'd like to see City do it just to mix things up a bit and they have played some cracking football this season, but I'd rather Tevez wasn't anywhere near the title.Quote:

Can't be happy Danbert. I'm gutted.Quote:

God I wish Dickov hadn't have equalised in 1999, it would have allowed us to have had another year or 2 in that division so that we could have grown and progressed at a more sustainable rate. We just weren't prepared for our rapid rise. :w00t:
United by 4 points. Tick, tock :closed:
A lot to happen yet.. City to Norwich.. City to Arsenal.. United to Blackburn (we lost at OT).. and United at home have dropped points.. at the moment there is too much emphasis on the derby.. nervey time now for all, silly results time..Quote:

City to Newcastle as well isn't it?
I have to say with City's away form, these fixtures that they probably need to win don't look that winnable. Then at home they don't get any tougher than Utd.
Utd have only one tough fixture left away at City and they could be 6 clear by the time they get to that.

I am now convinced United will drop points on the road and maybe even at home.
This title is far, far from over.
Oh....and subbing Rooney for Scholes, hmmmmmm somebody's botty is twitching!!!:w00t:
We weren't good.. but we've not been good for 31 games and we've gone from 7 adrift to 3 ahead...Quote:

I think the fact he makes brave calls and subs his key players like Rooney and Rio is why after 30 games we don't look as tired... Man City have a much stronger squad.. we all know that, but Mancini doesn't trust his squad.. he plays the same players week in week out... Fergie's used more players than Mancini so far... and you look tired... Silva looks tired and out of sorts and he was your key man.. the return of Tevez is timely indeed...
Its not over at all, but as you said its about eeking out results now, we went through a hell of a run of fixtures and actually gained ground
I think the next few games will be crucial, if we beat blackburn and you drop points at Sunderland you then go to Norwich and Arsenal needing the points.. but then again Blackburn are turning things around and Sunderland have had some wallopings so it could easily swing right back...
