Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Its called passsionnnnnnn
The point I'm making is nothing to do with how they play. They have played lovely football and have been scoring at will, I'm not 'ignoring the facts'. Tonight they did scrape a win - southampton had umpteen chances to take the lead in the first half and they score a 96th minute winner.
The point I'm putting across is that we're only in November with another 5/6 months left to go. A lot can happen in that time - injuries, fatigue from europe etc. That's also realism, unless you want to end the season now?
Man I want this guy to lose the league badly so that he goes on a crazy rant. He wants everything in football done according to him. This guy is a cry baby. Well today could be a start of something crazy.
Pep explaining that he wants to choose his opponents tactics from now on.
They are doing what they do every season. They blitz teams early then fatigue sets in. They have been extremely lucky this season though which has enabled them to extend there usual run. You can see they are starting to tank. They have gone from winning 5 & 6 nil to scraping injury time wins. When the luck runs out the bad results will follow. The Refs won't let them play play extra extra time & they will get injuries.

If you didn't take the post out of context you'd understand what I was implying.
He actually won City 10 points with goals past 80 minutes.
Been a lot of posts recently.... we'll lose to City home and away.... they're brilliant.... we're crap (Watford) ..... what do we do in training, we're poor....
Type of things I'd expect a City fan to be posting (and would be understandable).
Again with all due respect to Sterling, Cantona had a personality which brought shivers in opponents players, Sterling nah.
title challengers spurs only 16 points away now.
even burnley have leapfrogged them

But thats not the comparison I was making, it is Sterling is popping up with late winners for us like Eric did for ye and how it must be frustrating seeing the same name with a late goal whenever said team digs out a win.
Forgetting City for a minute, nice to see that just a week in, Moyes has turned West Ham from a struggling team to a team that loses 4-0 to Everton (who themselves have been getting torn a new one recently).
Class is permanent..... so is sh!te management.

No team plays great all season, but if you want to be champions you have to win when you're playing badly. I'm certainly not going to complain about added on time with our recent history!
3 minutes is standard, 4 minutes you wouldn't bat an eyelid at, but 5 MINUTES!?!??! THAT'S INSANE!!! UTTER MADNESS!!
And Moyes... Jesus, that's bad..

City will have plenty more games like tonight this season. And I’d hazard a guess that they won’t bail themselves out of each and every one.
We just need to keep winning. We’ll have opportunities to catch them. Just let things play out.

I'm pretty sure the ref press the button on his watch to stop time during the game to determine how much extra time to give. Don't think extra time is subjective anymore. Or at least they don't just pull out if their are.
What the feck is this? Expect him to get lauded for his "passion" like Klopp, while Mourinho gets matchbans for throwing a bottle
Basically hope for set pieces, because that's the only way teams have been creating chances against them. Kompany was horrible, they would be better playing Mangala instead IMO. Walker was horrible too, and Sterling was completly missing until his goal.
It's crazy how this City team knows how to grind out results too
Yip. Remember it.... scored several goals in a run of about ten games and win us loads of extra points. QPR away was prime example.
Yeah just googled it to make sure I wasn't imagining it and in a period of 6 games you had 5 games where you only scored once. 4 wins and a draw and Cantona was the man who scored every goal (Of course you scored 3 against City in the only high scoring game in that run) and he finished with 6 goal in that 6 games run that turned the season on its head.
I'm talking about the last minute deflection goals in the added minutes on top of extra time.
Apparently Pep was telling Redmond how good he is.
Jose was testing the quality of the bottle plastic, but still 3 game ban for Evra. Answer me this.
Wasn't expecting a win before KO but, that feels even worse with the late winner for City. Still at the end of the day we only dropped 1 point more then we were getting!

Thought you guys were excellent and with a bit of luck would have been 2 up at half time. Hard luck today. You seem to struggle to take the chances that come your way this season in general.
Yep, they werent lumping the ball into the box which would have been easier to defend. They were passing it around, moving defenders around. in fact the goal was really smart play by Sterling and KDB. The finish was fantastic. It was avoidable of course, but that late into the match, it can happen that somebody makes a slight mistake.
What was this about? Didn’t watch the game
Forster was warned at least twice for time wasting and there was an injury to Soares which used up at least 2 minutes. Plus 2 goals in the 2nd half which adds on 1 minute and 4 second half subs. Watching the game I felt that 5 mins would be fair and was happy when the official held the board up, I don't think it was unreasonable but obviously I'm not a neutral.
Feck me, watching MOTD and City game on.
The empty seats?!

Best fans in the world innit.
Never understood why. They are top of the table ffs!. Do they not have 55k fans?
Now you guys know how I felt like last season when Madrid kept scoring those late goals.
It doesn't feel good...
It doesn't feel good...
If they get 52 points out of those 72 -a very likely and realistic possibility- they'll finish on 92 points. That means you'd need 60 out of 72 just to have a chance on GD
You need to pull off an incredible run from here on out just to have an outside chance at the title...

I mean more how to defend against them and then give themselves a chance on the counter/set piece. WHUM next though so they can rest the first XI and still win 5-0!
Travel problems are always worse for local fans.
Wouldn't sign a contract and they've ended up with Salah and Mane, I hardly think they will give a shit.
The thing though is that they still had clear chances and wasted them or they were stopped by good goal keeping and they've barely conceeeded any chances from open play
Gonna need a new telly after these Liverpool shirts have finished burning it.
Unbelievable refereeing in the Liverpool game.
