Massive overreaction, as standard. Most united fans accept Liverpool as the biggest rival and most detestable club. But us finishing ahead of them isn't going to be dependent on today's result. In the bigger picture Man City's unbeaten run was becoming irritating especially when many felt they are certainly not the invincible force that we are being forced to believe. Getting satisfaction in Liverpool beating them isn't a mortal sin. Different question if there was something on the line for us, e.g.- I'd rather finish fifth and see city lose than finish fourth and see them unbeaten.
Today was win win or lose lose for us today depending on your perspective, but ultimately satisfying to see smug city lose and liverpools pathetic frailties exposed despite their good win
I understand the view that says that Utd is better but I mean "far better" is a stretch. All it's based on it's speculation turned in a positive light about how their season and ours might unfold till the end. I'm just talking about simple facts, there isn't much between the teams in terms of points, they drew, almost identitical goal difference.
That just cannot equal being far better than them I'm sorry.
I won't deny it. If Sanchez, it'll be even betterFair enough if that's your point of view. I can see where you are coming from but I think our 3 draws in the Christmas period notwithstanding we have had a better season than Liverpool so far. The City defeat knocked the stuffing out of our players, it was evident in the wins against WBA and Bournemouth and it became quite clear in the 3 games we drew afterwards. But before those games I don't think anyone here would be disputing the fact that Utd are a better team than Liverpool.
It now looks as though we are getting over the City defeat (hopefully the Dubai trip will help in refocusing the players), and we should see the team playing to its full potential, which to me atleast, is higher than that of Liverpool.
Same thingI didn't cheer for them, just wanted to see City's run ending.
Now they can both fe.k of.
I just didn’t want City to go the season unbeaten. Now that’s over, it’s back to ensuring Liverpool produce more of that comical defending we saw yet again.
They were fortunate that equally comical defending and goalkeeping happened at the other end.
I find it absurd, that just because you have a passionate hate for Liverpool, you all would want a team (who we could still catch given the right circumstances) that are above us in points to gain more points from any football match.
Rivalry is one thing, but stupidity is another.
Game of the season so far
Is it not more absurd to support the team who level on points with us over the team that are 15 ahead?
You realise there is literally no way we can catch City? Even if they lose 5 of their last 15 (which is already showing how preposterous this idea is), we need to win every single match to catch them, which isn't going to happen. So realistically they need to win no more than 6 or 7 of their remaining matches for anybody to have a chance. It's absurd.
Well i still believe anything is possible, if Leicester city can win the PL, man city can drop 15 points
That's the main issue. Going on a ridiculous winning formYes but can we also win 16 in a row?
Seriously thinking of banning all you feckers if city lose today
Yeah, the table clearly show thatWe are a far better team than Liverpool

Look at the decking points, Liverpool are right on our ass and spurs/Kane are gaining momentum too. It’s just as conceivable that we drop out of top 4.
City will drop points somewhere. Wanting Liverpool to win this because city might go unbeaten is beyond madness
Seriously thinking of banning all you feckers if city lose today
i am pleased to see Man City's winning run ends but seriously hate it that it is Liverpool that ended it. I can't the stand my liverpool supporting friends gloating about this win.
It’s really meaningless achievement much like our win over Arsenal stopping them getting 50 unbeaten.
Only 3 points at the end of the day, same as our game v stoke tomorrow.
Don’t let hype train get you carried away! That’s their job granted.
It won't be all in vain. Hopefully we win tomorrow and the gap is down to 12 points. Citeh against Rafa Beneathus and Pardiola will be getting 2-3 points from the next two games, which would mean the lead will be down 8/9 points by end of January. Funnier things have happened.
It's not more stupid than hoping to catch a team that has that many points when there is another breathing down our neck. We have more chances of finishing below Liverpool than City.I find it absurd, that just because you have a passionate hate for Liverpool, you all would want a team (who we could still catch given the right circumstances) that are above us in points to gain more points from any football match.

Banning people for being illogical stupid idiots seems fair to meHaha banning people for having an opposing opinion and wanting a different result to you is a bit childish and something that would would happen over at Rawk.
When did United fans start throwing in the towel so early?
I was raised on last minute goals and never giving up no matter what the score is. Yet some here are happy to watch one of our local rivals dance off into the sunset all because the other team winning adds a bit of pressure to our own side. Grow a fecking pair! We're fecking Man Utd, not Arsenal. If we haven't even got the fecking bottle for a top 4 fight then what the feck is the point.
City could be down to 12 points clear of us after we play tonight. Yes it's unlikely we'll catch them, but we should sure as hell give it a good go. Jesus fecking christ.
Are you trying to get a job as a Sky pundit?Liverpool now have a huge confidence boost, and form momentum. As we all learnt before, games in hand count for nothing unless you get the points. The onus is now on united to make a statement and boost confidence. Scraping a 1-0 win at home to managerless stoke might get us the points but will sew the seeds of doubt.
Plus I can’t wrap my head around the fact that people would rather our biggest rivals win just so that city don’t go through the season unbeaten. I really don’t see the logic in wanting the pack to catch up for that reason. City will come a cropper somewhere where they won’t expect it.
As it stands, lfc have as much chance of winning the league as we do if not more as they have a good momentum
Are you trying to get a job as a Sky pundit?
Also its not rocket science, while historically Liverpool is United's biggest rival, they haven't been United's rival for the EPL title for a long time...which at the end of the day counts more then anything else.
City losing is something to cheer for, if you want to win the league title. There's no two ways about it.
This this this.I find it absurd, that just because you have a passionate hate for Liverpool, you all would want a team (who we could still catch given the right circumstances) that are above us in points to gain more points from any football match.

A Liverpool win didn't even see them overtake us. Given the way the season has gone, given Chelsea and Arsenal dropped points and given that Liverpool prove time and again that they will feck up, it's hardly a betrayal to enjoy this nauseating worship of city have a temporary halt. I despise Liverpool. I never want to see them close to a title again. But yesterday's game was not some decisive fixture with anything on the line for us. Im glad city lost and I'm glad Liverpool looked like losing a 4-1 lead with eight minutes left
This this this.
There is a long long way to go and everyone wants to fold and be done with it. Typical football fans nowadays.
All it takes it for city to drop a few more points and the gap could close and put more pressure on them.
We won't no. But we can.We won't catch them. But I admire the belief, they've dropped five points from last 9. Amazing how infuriating those three draws versus poor teams over xmas look now. We'd have a chance to close gap to 6 tonight.
We won't no. But we can.
They might collapse now. Might not. But if you gave most of the fans the choice to finish now with City champions and start a fresh everyone would take it.
I think theres a long way to go and anything can happen.
I don’t see that being comparable in the slightest. Sod English football; there’s no way United would have gained anything from a Liverpool victory in a CL final. A team that’s below us in the table taking points off one that’s above us would generally be regarded as a gap-narrowing good thing.I remember clearly united fans cheering Liverpool on in the CL final against Milan because “it would be good for English football”.
Weirdos
It's a bit weird seeing how many talk about how we will 'drop loads of points'. Have you looked at the form curve lately? I'd be surprised if we were not ahead of you at the end of this month.
The last thing we need is Liverpool full of confidence and hammering teams. If we finish below Liverpool last night will be seen as a turning point.
