He might of been shite for you since he joined but he had nothing to do with that today. Like I said earlier blaming him is beyond stupid.

Well, at least points dropped for City still.
think they'll drop points at arsenal imo.

I'm not saying that City won't rally but this logic is bullshit. They came back to beat Chelsea and then went and drew at Stoke.

Lo and behold; Wigan, QPR and Bolton all win. Hows your luck?! Wolves definitely down now. Blackburn will be right up for it on Monday night, I'm worried.
City game. DAMN YOU SUNDERLAND! I feel like the keeper should have done better on both goals. Also, Bendtner gave his full back NO help for Balotelli's goal, just wondered off. That said, it's points dropped and the perfect home record gone, would have certainly taken that before kick off. Defeat would have left City dead and buried though.
Must win for us on Monday. Cancel out the GD and get 5 points clear. Said it before, we need to be 4+ clear by the time we go to the Etihad. Final day trip to the SoL doesn't look good either.

United trading at 1.22 for the title, City at 7.
Arsenal 350.
Arsenal 350.
i dunno. i don't think sunderland will have anything to play for by then and while they're professionals i'm not sure the ex-united players will care too much to put in a strong performance like today to rob us of the league.
the everton match worries me much more. i think we'll lose points there.

Still an awful result for city considering
I can't believe how bad our day has been, if we lose on Monday we go below QPR, big game now

Wait what? When did that happen?
I see what you're saying but this is really it now, Man U are going 5 points clear on Monday. If City want to win the league then they really can't afford to make any more big mistakes. Both sides are going to drop points but the pressure is on City big time now. I just think that will give them abit of momentum going into the Arsenal game!
Then again, Mancini really needs to step up and sort Balotelli out. Yeah he scored twice today but when they were 3-1 down it really looked like he was about to implode...
You WILL turn them Rag's over! You gotta do it for both our sakes.

loving all this entitled shite these city fans are spouting, as if they have a receipt for the league
I'm not a City fan, but look up at the post I just quoted. If that's not an entitlement complex, then I don't know what is.

I think there was a point this season where you could get about 14/1 on United to win the title.

I want him or Hixx to teach me how to gif these games. I need GIFS!
I want to know what stream he uses.

Probably LiveOnlineFooty, the only streams worth talking about.

Mr Hixx, since you're here, can you PM me either your gif source or an idea of how to make them. Would much appreciate it. Would like to do them for the Chelsea games for another forum I use, and here of course.
chelsea's doing really well recently. di matteo effect?
Not sure about that. They came back to beat Chelsea and everyone said that would give them the momentum to push for the title. The very next game they drew to Stoke.
City needed to win all their home games and get at least draws from away fixtures and they've made a hash of doing that so far. They need Blackburn to do United over tomorrow and that is by no means a certainty. Although I wouldn't be totally surprised if United dropped points there.
Todays result was bad for City.
Thats not a story. The real story happens on the 14th of April. The whole city is buzzing about it and that result alone pretty much makes or breaks either teams season (Carling cup win aside obviously). Not even sure I'm looking forward to it because if we lose then.....Oh god no....NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Your anti-United bias is all too clear at times mate. Which is fine, just saying. Didn't think that post was lathered with self-entitlement. You can bet everyone will be going on about the "help" United get from their friends anytime that situation arises. We hear it often enough.
I don't care if the leagues shit or if we're our worst side ever. A title is a title. I kinda doubt there would be so much talk about the league being poor of City were on course to win it.
It is a weaker league than most years and it is a weaker United team than in the past. If we do win it though, United fans and more importantly the manager and players won't e fooling themselves into thinking we're untouchable. Whatever happens the club will be aiming to go even better again next year. Our performances in the cups has been rubbish and that's not good enough for us. Nobody is forgetting that. As I said, a title is a title, will be even sweeter if people wanna knock it down as a second-rate one.
yeah. hopefully the rumors are true and we get a new away and cl kit next year. the home kit is perfect and doesn't need a change
i'm surprised... there was no injury so far in the second half of the season. as u said, please stay fit, robben.
Interesting look at Benitez coaching method http://soccernet.espn.go.com/column...ly:-the-forward-thinking-rafa-benitez?cc=5901
aww i didn't really mean it that way, maybe it was the terrible choice to use the word rob. i don't think they're literally going to throw away the match or not care at all, just that it requires a lot of motivation to put in excellent defensive displays against top teams, as seen in most of todays match and in the 1-0 against city at the stadium of light there's a lot of concentration and had work needed, and on top of the lack of motivation you get from a possible dead rubber, i think it's going to be even harder to get motivated to really put in the huge workload if it means taking the title away from the team that wes brown has played for over ten years so that their closest rival can win it.
by the same token i think mascherano was even more fired up in the champions league final last season because he could stop united from winning who he'd grown to dislike at liverpool.
someone zeldaified it before skyward sword, i think it's meant to be like oot ganon, but i deleted the original file and haven't gotten round to finding the right screenshot and editing it to size so it looks normal again.
Probably, Torres is finding his feet but he isn't going back to the player he was before (clinical finisher), he is doing a fine job in being the supplier and giving assists, really nice to see.
lol at casually taking credit for Torres's form.
