Premier league boxing day fixtures

good game so far... i will hope for 3 more goals in the second half. 2 for pool and 1 for citeh.

Citeh to go 3-1 before liverpool get to snatch the draw.
 
Both teams playing some great stuff.

Now hopefully City put a few more goals past Mignolet and Suarez bites someone
 
We are far behind these two sides in terms of the way they play football.
Sadly this is true. Hopefully that changes quickly.

I thought city would have been more dominant but Liverpools football has been quality. Neither side seems to panic when pressed, they know how to find a team mate in those situations.
 
Best 45 minutes of football I've seen this season. Luckily we're not up against either side this evening.

Draw is the best possible results, but the best thing about that Mignolet cockup was that I had an extra second enjoying the ball crossing the scousers' goal line.

Having said that, it looks like Liverpool will be there or thereabouts come April and May.
 
Fantastic game of football. Terrible keeping at the end there - what was he doing? Looked like he was trying to do something fancy rather than just a basic save.
 
It irritates me that Liverpool are playing nice football this season, better than anything we've managed for the last couple of years.
 
Liverpools football this half eclipses anything United have produced this season, and they are still losing.

What the feck is that? :lol:
 
I personally think City will run away with the title if they get to the top of the league, so I'd be fairly happy for them to finish without points today. I dont believe Liverpool will be able to stay top even if they got 3 today.
 
Even Keys and Gray have noticed Skrtel's wrestling.
 
What's the best possible score for us Utd fans ?
A draw bearing in mind that Liverpool can drop more points against Chelsea?

City losing points is beneficial for the title race. We might not win it but I'd rather we had a chance...and we'll only get that chance if BOTH drop points.

It's difficult to say. On one hand I haven't given up on the title completely, but it's looking extremely unlikely even with our decent form of late. Liverpool is probably the team currently in the top 4 that is most likely to drop out of it. We need one of those teams to drop a lot of points. And it might as well be them.
 
This is a very high standard of attacking football... should be a cracking second half...

Or City will run away with it...

City losing. No matter which way. They are the best team, have the best spine, the most depth and are developing a healthy winning mentality. I'd take anyone else winning the league over them so they do not simply go from strength to strength.

yes, sounds about right. Catching either them or Chelsea probably the best hope, although it's going to require an incedible run of form from United to do it.

Even Liverpool?

City not winning the league isn't going to stop them spending loads of money and strengthening even more next summer anyway.
