Keep grasping on straws, you seem desperate for excuses. I love this.
Why target us? And everton are going to kick your ass...

THIS! What a season it has been. And feel good about not being spanked by City, we did ok there. Bodes well for next season.
Ahh yep, good call. I imagine from their angle it looked in the net initially.
3rd would have been ours if we weren't UNICEF'd. :'(
Everton game can go either way. They're not exactly the most consistent team in the world.

I don't know how any Man U fan could bitch and moan about City. All the injuries etc, sure they sucked but like a month or so ago we were 8 points clear. The league was there for us to win and we fucking threw it away. We gifted it to City this year, so fuck all this transfer cost bullshit. Own up man, we threw it away. No two ways about it. We should have been able to field an entire B team in the Derby if we carried those points.
It sickens me City are going to win the title this year, but it was ours for the taking first.

We need a goal about every 7-8 minutes.
Behind the rate. Could get away from us very soon.

Any of the last round matches can go either way. At least This puts fate in our own hands. After yesterday's embarrassment it was the best we could hope for.
Wheres berb? wasnt he close to £30m?.
I've been surprising ok about the whole thing.
I think it's because we've been so poor this season that I'm not really upset we're not going to win the league.
At least we're not seeing meltdowns on the same level as some Barca fans had a few weeks ago.
Yup, Feyenoord fan. Yeah it was a ... weird match. But the circumstances were weird too.
Joining the financial debate of the PL, Feyenoord beeing qualified for CL play-offs is even more amazing couse they were near bankrupt!
Believe!
Best thing ever to have happened to my beloved club is getting rid of M.Been

Do you have any other excuses apart from the injuries?
This day is bloody amazing. Feyenoord reaching CL play-offs after the drama that I call the 10/11 season. Thank you based Koeman.Yup, Feyenoord fan. Yeah it was a ... weird match. But the circumstances were weird too.

It's those flinty blue eyes. All the charm of a schoolboy sociopath. How can SAF resist?

Now I'm actually thinking about. Damn, losing a league on GD. That's like so shit. Feels like we are so many more points behind City because of how we threw it away.

Doicare...what is your point? United were 8 points clear. EIGHT. Have some fucking dignity and accept your team are to blame and nothing else.
When Man City have had more first choice team players out on the pitch against United, City have won this season. When Man united have had more first choice team players out on the pitch against City this season, United have won...... go figure.
Completely. Resigned myself last week when we lost at City, and to be frank we probably needed the reality check.
We'll be stronger next year
lol jk, gaitan on the way bitches

Everyone please stop responding to doicare.

I find it much harder to take when you feel like it was the year for the team to win things and do well. For example the 08 team, if we'd lost the league or CL that year it would have hurt so much because we genuinely had a great team.
Since this team isn't one I expect great things off, it's much easier to say, well, it wasn't a great team so it's not like we performed below expectations.
Still, 8 points. Grating.

Correct.
Madrid were 10 points ahead Barcelona, lost 6 points and went to Camp Nou to slap them in the face to get La Liga.
United not only lost the point difference, they shat on their pants on Eithad Stadium.
The way his face imitates rollercoaster physics over so slight an action as a short throw.
He's ignoring Anderson and Berbatov. Didn't include Micah Richards. Inflating the fees (now Tevez too). It's all part of his agenda.
He's only 4th choice these days, doesn't play as much as the others i put on the bench.

doicare you're trying too hard.
This.
Funny at first but reeks of sour grapes now. Utd fucked this up for themselves. Arsenal ended City for them and then they've choked allowing City to steal it, simple as that. That everton result was a good example as you can get of man u throwing points away.
I will have to agree with this gentleman.
You could say the same for k toure as well. So city have spent about £150m to close the gap in three years, id be over the moon if that was my team.

United are the only big team with parasitic owners, we could be so good...

Doicare, I understand your disgust with City winning... it is City.. bleh. But seriously, there will be plenty of time next season to yell about how they bought the title. Just take a deep breath and take the first bite of the shit sandwich the last part of this season has been. We dropped so many easy points, the Everton game being the peak of throwing it away.

Tevez was definitely more than the £25m price quoted. Can't remember who wrote it or what paper it was in but somebody wrote an article saying they had it on very good information that Tevez cost City close to £45m in total.
Anyway, it hardly matters and I have no idea why any of you even respond to doicare anymore. He's been ranting like this for most of the season. People keep egging him on, either cos they just can't stomach ignoring him or for shits and giggles.

So, do you think somebody in the PL will pay big for Sigurdsson?
I heard Babbel really wants him back at Hoffenheim and it looks like Babbel got hold of Hopp's money with Wiese and Derdiyok joining next season. So I don't see them letting Sigurdsson go for less than 10m

Yup. Exactly this.
Guaranteed to go for 10 million. He won't leave the PL.
