Hate Man Utd

Out - Champions League, mainly thanks to Basle.

 Out - League Cup, thanks to Crystal Palace.

Not - top of the league at new year thanks to a 2-3, bottom of the league Blackburn win (on Fergies 70th birthday). Oh dear!

City go 5 points clear at the top of the table, happy days

Please keep comments suitable for a family audience…

See this BBC link to confirm Man Utd needed the help of a dodgy penalty to secure the Premiership title. Who was the ref??? Phil Dowd, hmmmmmm. Blackburn keeper clearly acting as a spring board for a gymnastics routine for a player heading away from the goal.

Despite one team’s fans journey to Wembley being hampered by the M1 closure Man City beat Man Utd 1-0 to end the talk of a treble even with 5min of “injury time”. And what was Ferdinand upto at the end of the match?

Losing to Chelsea and then Liverpool tut tut, this won’t do

Thank you! 2-1 win for the record.  

I write this part way through the match! All the talk before the match (refreshingly) is about the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as Liverpool Manager and not about the Mancs. Howard Webb soon puts an end to that and gives Man Utd a penalty after Berbatov dives in the box in the first minute. Later in the first half he lets a 2 footed challenge by a Man Utd player go, only to send off Gerrard for a similar challenge moments later.

4-0 win over Man Utd in the Carling Cup and a dodgy decission of a disallowed goal against West Ham could not help the Mancs!

Disgraceful is not strong enough! Nani dives in the box looking for a penalty, should have been booked for diving, then makes a deliberate handball, another booking and sending off??? The Spurs goalie puts the ball down for a free kick and Nani kicks it into the net and a goal is awarded. Only at Old Trafford, what a joke.
