The holy trinity 68
The disparager
Serious?
Spurs away. Pretty famous incident.
Yeah I haven't seen. Apologies for my ignoarance.
Serious?
Spurs away. Pretty famous incident.
It’s not related (I presume) but no team has had a goal approved by VAR only for the ref to not give the goal. Not sure a worse VAR debacle has happened. Totally embarrassing
Surely it classes as violent conduct, which makes offside irrelevant to it?Under the rules VAR could not possibly send Pickford off as the on-field decision was offside as VVD committed and offside offence before the foul.
The rule is
VVD was in an offside position and attempted to play the ball before the challenge therefore as above the offside offence should be punished not the foul

Feel like he’s just misunderstood the rule…Pickford could have been sent off, but no pen would have been given as offside first.So Pickford could have run VVD through with a sword and it wouldn't have been penalised?

Yes. That was goal line technology rather than VAR.Didn't someone get relegated by a point or two in the covid season after they failed to notice Sheffield United scoring against Villa?
Edit: Bournemouth and Watford finished a point behind Villa, who drew that game 0-0.
That’s not true - the ref said they missed it and could have sent off JP. It was widely reported after the game that the ref messed up and admitted it.No red can be given ( unless it was violent conduct which it wasnt) as the offside offence occurred first
By your logic, you could commit a bad foul after a flag had gone up but be immune to a sanction.
I feel like pretty much everyone (but you) agrees it was violent conduct, or at least close to.No because that would be violent conduct which is a completely different offence
That's just totally wrong.No red can be given ( unless it was violent conduct which it wasnt) as the offside offence occurred first
Arne Slot also booked apparently. Seems to have a much shorter leash than Kloppo.
Wa ha ha - see the Bitters did us a favour too.
Fantastic result and performance considering the circumstances. Ref is a prick
Thank feck for Everton eh?
By far the best team in the league but probably won't be allowed to win the league, what a "sport"
...9 minutes injury time. Iwobi down for 2 minutes. Blows it up just after 9
When did Fulham become such c*nts
...Every team we play are c*nts because the officials let them twat us all over the place and get away with it.
Credit to the manager and player. Kept fighting despite the circumstances because of how cheap the owners were.
Iwobi spends 2 minuted down on the floor and refs addd 40 seconds on top? fecking c*nt.
Take a draw all day
Still had 2 minutes more to be played there and he blew the whistle. He has a watch doesn't he? Stupid twat
...9 minutes added on, Fulham players waste about 4 of them, ref blows up at 99:30.
Anyway it's as we were. Arsenal have messed up massively by not taking advantage.
I don't think Chelsea are a threat so even if the lead is down to 2 points, it's the gap to Arsenal we have to maintain.
...Aye, if our main competitors are Chelsea I fancy our chances.
Arne has kahunas with his subs.
Hate saying it, but come on United. If City don’t take maximum points it’s a weekend we’ve got away with. Brilliant attitude from us though.
9 clear of City, 6 clear of Arsenal (with game in hand), 5 clear of Chelsea who probably won't stay the course. Decent.
...We need Brentford and United to do us some favours tomorrow. Anyone ruling Chelsea out is crazy. They have a much easier run in at the moment and are in much better form then Arsenal. Feel happy and dissapointed at the same time dont know what it is.
Point gained in the circs and with Arsenal drawing.
Muddle through until new year and then it's over to the powers that be to sign players if we are to sustain a proper title push.
Shame on you for the amount of threads you spread this endless negativity through
How's what he said negative there?
We are 5 points clear, we havent muddled through anything.
...Taken 2 points from Newcastle and Fulham.
Mitigating circumstances etc but that’s football.
If the form doesn’t improve the lead will go; it’s that simple.
Couple of tricky games coming up so beat Spurs and Utd from the next few games we’ll forget about this.
...Is Konate back for Spurs? Quansah needs a hug at the minute, confidence looks really shot to bits.
How many goals now have we conceded first? Bad habits cropping up again.
How many goals now have we conceded first? Bad habits cropping up again.
Macallister back for Spurs? I'm sure him knitting the play is a big part of our position in the league, last couple of matches might be indicative of this.
Could do with a Chelsea slip up. They're flying under the radar at the moment with little to no pressure, no real injuries and the benefit of playing the reserves in "Europe".
Make Fulham an offer they can't refuse for Robinson in January. He's one of the best left backs in the league and would fit like a glove in our side. £35-40m should probably do it.
Heroic performance - but really without proper depth I fear we will be letting the title slip away. Query whether it’s too late now to acquire and integrate the necessary depth too
A point gained, considering the circumstances
Red Men did them self proud today.
Why is the Andy Robertson thread locked?
Attacking players during the game is pathetic, mistakes are made by players it's part of football.
The One Who Slots is back in the building. Praise the lord.
Amorim looks like having the most impressive CV of their recent managers considering Sporting are the 3rd biggest club in Portugal but the club is in absolute disarray. Hopefully he's Ten Haag without easy cup runs in him.
It's going to take them years to sort that squad out.
1. Zero structure with Brexit Jim overseeing things.
2. A squad with inflated egos and poor players.
3. A new Manager who wants to play a formation not suited to the squad.
4. A stadium that is falling down.
...They're in a worse state than we ever were that's for sure. Ratcliffe trying to rip out whatever soul it has too, really great to see actually.
First Amorim out shouts ?
Guess the week
I'll go last week in January
Should be a fun couple of hours whatever the result here before the forum becomes a panic stricken mess as soon as Chelsea so much as complete a pass.
Come on you Red Mancs (clears sick from mouth).
Amad is this year's Mainoo/Garnacho/Wan Bissaka/Tom Cleverley.....
...Manchester City 12 - Yernited 0
Wonder which set of supporters will be singing, Getting sacked in the Morning?
...It'll be feed the scousers most of the afternoon as we are inside both of their heads with our feet up
Just tuned in for game for a laugh and whats this? Garnacho dropped from the squad? He runs very fast you know
...Yes but he's been found to be the leak in their squad.
He's exactly the c*nt he looks like, basically.
Nice to see a local unbiased ref in charge that will keep down the travelling expenses and Sir Jim Brexit will agree
Pretty funny Utd's squad is so bad that dropping two horrendous, lazy footballers is somehow big team news
Neville waxing lyrical, bigging up "The Butcher" because he's just.....*checks notes*.....headed the ball out for a corner.
...I’m all in favour of the ongoing relevance of the Manchester United Industrial Complex - it maintains an absolute absurd level of hype and lunacy around the club which seemingly prevents them from breaking the chains of the past.
Hype. Hype. Hype.
...Electric start to the game.
United fan refereeing and a United ex-player on comms.
..."The Premier League needs a strong Manchester United" - The Chief Executive of the FA, in public
what a shit first 10 minutes
Both teams playing like utter turd so far.
Dalots end product: Dalittle
Can't run vs won't run
My God the standard of football on offer is awful and Mount is going off, one of their greatest signings ever
...The new Darren Anderton going off.
Dodged such a bullet there…
...Yeah. We bought a terminator instead
Seedorf coming on
Why was Masonmount being played ahead of Clarence Seedorf? Surely the new coach doesn't rate anyone ahead of the best midfielder on planet earth?
League one quality with the atmosphere to match.
...Rip roarin borefest.
I know he's generally shit but United win this game with Rashford playing. So much space in behind City but no pace to exploit it.
Are you kidding? Rashford doesn't look interested. He's been very poor recently.
These games are tailor-made for him though, with time, and space to run into. He would City a lot of more problems than Mount/Fernandes will be able to out wide.
He doesn't want it though he just walks around the pitch these days and the new man wants someone who is interested in putting the work in. There are rumours he has off field issues as well. I think it's the end for him at United.
...Yeah like I said in my initial post, dropping him is probably for the greater good in the long term. But just for this particular match I think he would help them massively.
Is this being played in slow motion
That's just Mainoo sprinting
...I turned back to celtic v rangers. This Manc derby is atrocious. Got a glimpse of Mainoos excellent recovery pace just before I switched
This is awful.
...Sky will put these on their main slot because it's United but then they serve up shit.
City are dour and sterile to watch on a good day.
Haaland and Hoijland just don't move very much.
Comedic "defending" by Højlund on the other Scandinavian lump. How is that allowed?
Should be a penalty for the Norwegian yeti there. Hojlund not even looking in the direction of the play. The refs have no idea what they're doing.
...The two H’s - tango or foxtrot?
I don't think this is boring as much as cowardly from United
There is space to run into and gaps to exploit. They don't want to know
watching this could put you in a coma.
"Finish in the end didn't matter" according to Neville. The new golden boy didn't know he was offside, Gary and he's put it wide from a yard out.
AMAAADDDDDDDDD!
offside
Calm down Peter Drury
Are football socks dead tight now? Why do they cut all holes in them?
Love that they've designed the United shirts so it looks like they've been sweating on their backs. Saves them having to do any actual running
I can't even just type Rat - because you all won't know which one I'm talking about.
Portuguese rat. Well that doesn't work either
...City look fecked. Bernardo Silva epitomising that in particular - being outpaced by Bruno.
Who is the bigger rat? Bernardo Silva or Bruno Fernandes?
...At least Bernardo was a fantastic player. Fernandes simply hasn't earned the right.
Having said that, Bernardo is also probably more hateable
The Irony of Neville saying the City supporters will realise they are now shitHow long have the Red Mancs been deluding themselves how many corners turned how much swagger
Massively undeserved as they've been hopeless, Gvardiol has cost them about 15 goals this season so needed that
Oh that is the jammiest cross I've ever seen.
Fluke deflected cross for a goal.
Game over. This Man United side wouldn't score if we were here all week.
An awful goal, for a awful game, between two awful teams
Onana might be the greatest keeper at standing still and watching a ball float past him
Handbags
Pray for walker
Walker is absolutely vile
Embarrassing by Walker..
Walker being a shithead
Walker should be booked for that blatant cheating.
He could have been killed
Walker should get sent off for that. Embarrassing.
...He's not setting a good example to his families.
Has Pep forgot which team he manages? Odd reaction
...Was it in reference to the lukewarm crowd reaction?
City aren’t challenging for the league unless they spunk £200m in January.
...I just want to see Silva get kicked
Diallo has no sense at all, he just runs without thinking about the defensive line
Amad is so thick
...Lacks the football brain to be a top player imo.
Untied's new manager bounce looks a bit shit
...It’s more of a splat.
So if United are this sh*t we’re getting 3 points against them in 3 weeks time, right?
we should be battering them
That dive from Walker is one of the worse things I have seen this season
...He should have got a red for that. He was deliberately trying to con the referee into giving a red card…..so give one to Walker for blatant cheating.
Poor football being played by two poor teams. Hopefully it turns into a draw.
...Either Amorim didn't envision how dire this United side really is or he's taken the job for a massive pay day when he eventually gets sacked in a year or two.
Can't decide who has the worst hairstyle out of, Cole Palmer, Martínez, Garnacho, or Foden?
...Throw Gordon in the mix too
Richards "walker is better than that"
Keane: "I'm not so sure"
Richards is so embarrassing.
Walker is 'better than that'.
At least Keane put him in his place. Absolutely stealing a living because he's 'funny'. Average footballer who should be a tiny footnote in the history of the game.
Well done Keane for calling out Walker. That kind of cheating needs to be stopped and highlighted. It’s disgraceful and shows what City are all about.
Weirdly, even Neville seemed to want a red for Hoijlland. Think he loves brave English Walker too much.
He didn’t though.
He called out Walker.
...Did he utter "OOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"?
...Amorim thinking how many more times do I have to watch this crap before I get paid off?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
...It's spelt 'Mainoo'
I want a draw here so, it's only when you actually want them to score that you realise just how poor this Man United side are. They're absolutely clueless, hopeless, brainless, all the "less" adjectives you can think of.
They're fecking shite.
I wouldn't be shocked if Amorim doesn't see the end of the season.
State of Ratcliffe
There's another thing doesn't get mentioned about Roland Rat Fernandes enough amongst all his whining cheating and bullshit
He's shit and has been for a while
Nice of Man City to give a homeless man a seat in the directors box.
Brexit Jim is there
With the board looking like they just realised the whole team is shite and unsellable and their ground is derelict so no asset stripping possible the Glazers took it all
Solskjaer was fecking amazing at getting them to compete in a lot of these games and he was doing battle with Man City at their absolute peak.
...His reign is looking less terrible with every passing month
My God, both manc teams are so shite. Lovely.
This derby is a mega flop these days. So dull and pointless
...I'm not sure if I'm watching a PL match or the 442oons youtube channel.
Do these realise people are watching ?
If this was in the Colosseum in Rome they'd send the lions in around about now
...Rasmus is there to do the thumbs-down symbol, which by the way meant to spare the gladiator, not kill him, but the thick fecker would hardly know that.
...Do United not know they are 1-0 down? So little desire to win the ball back.
Some of this passing
...Most of it coming from club captain, world class Bruno Fernandes
The fans are just as bad as the players.
Are there actually real people in the stand facing the camera or just cardboard cutouts? I swear they're not moving.
Christ I've watched some shite games but this is fecking woeful.
I’ve stood in dog shit that’s been of a higher quality than this
Pathetic dive, getting to feck with your mmmmm's you biased piece of shit
That's a pen
Didn't get the ball, took the man, soft but it's a foul.
Nice that City can still rely on refs
Clear penalty how has VAR cleared that
I'd be fuming if we weren't given that to be honest
Neville can't believe they haven't been given a pen hahahahahahaah
PS: It's a pen for me, just funny how he can't take it or be professional
I don’t think it’s a penalty, but what did Mike Dean mean by “not in a game like this”?
Does he think the rules are different in different games?
“Not in a match like this” - Mike Dean
more evidence if needed that refs are affected by the atmosphere and who the teams are, when making decisions
Presumes he means when City are involved
This is absolutely bloody awful. And that was a penalty.
Not a pen. Hjolund moved across to make contact.
...The defender fails to win the ball and catchers the player on the knee, but apparently there is nothing to see! Refs are plain weird.
“They’re both going towards the ball so not a penalty” … “not in a game like this, Gary”
Sorry but why the feck do either of those things matter? That’s a foul!
...Hjolund barged right looking for it,
hf when fernandes tells you to get up and stop acting can the apocalypse be far away?
I can see the thinking with Ugarte. He’s like Mascherano. Just without the defensive ability, mobility, tackling, passing, pressing etc. So Salif Diao
The trouble for United is that city are terrible in the transition…
So without Rashford and Garnacho, United can’t exploit that now as everyone tires
Oh come on United you useless sacks of shit
What’s this? 20 seconds of something that could almost be described as football. Amazing.
This is the shittest Manc derby I can remember
Going back to when they were both shit in the 80's. At least there was blood and guts
One of the worst games of football I’ve seen in a long time. Quality is so poor. Teams are shit. Crowd is shit. Commentary is shit. Balls given away time after time. It’s an embarrassment.
...Might as well chuck Antony on, can't be any worse
How many times has Haaland touched the ball?
Haaland's playing?
...Less times than he's pulled his hair back like he's in a shampoo advert
He's ne er getting any of those gigs I know that
Amorim realising he had better players at Sporting...
Amorim looks as perplexed as the rest of us at what we are witnessing
Hahahaha bottled it
That's their chance gone
they bring Zirkzee or Antony on? I want to to see if they can knock one of the floodlights out with one of their shots.
What a miss by BRUNO FERNANDES!!!
Rat c*nt misses from there but scores from the halfway line against us.
That's a shocker. He's fecking shit, that little rat
That's nowhere near good enough for a professional footballer
City are shit, but United are even shitter.
Grealish and Antony coming on. At least now we will see some quality.....
1 billion spent and not one man utd player even makes our squad, well except for the new zidane and maguire
Fernandes should be fecked off
Did Kyle Walker just throw a throw-in out for throw-in?
...Grealish has had such an easy ride by the media, considering he was 100 million. It’s been something like 40 games since he last scored
Neville will give MOTM to a United player.
He must be dying inside a little watching the worst United side in 50 years
Haha fecking hell
Clown show!
HAHAHAHAAH City are horrific, you'll see better quality in the lower leagues
City pressing the self destruct button.
This is fecking hilarious
Dialo is so lucky, should have just hit it first time. He’s utterly shite!
Didn't even realise Nunes did both the pass and the foul at first
I’m lost for words at how amateur that whole sequence was
The mancs have no scoring at all. None. Small handful of 4 or 5 goal men. pen
"Clever" according to Neville!
United might yet win this.
Absolutely bought the pen rather than go for goal
Tbf it was the smart play.
City screwing themselves over there..
Pwlanty Amad ice cold MOM for Neville
This game is a car crash, and I’m here for it
game Fernandes is having, this is going into the opposite goal.
Fernandes will miss it...
Edit: Damn it, Dim Glas
...Thanks rat face
Pep needs to start wearing a helmet
He has plenty in his squad to choose from
...Pep’s face is going to look like that Nazi at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Undeserved. But funny.
City self destructing again.
Now for that managers fist fight .....
Has sufficient fun been made of Amorim's pants pants?
Who does Fernandes think he is, he's been a fecking disgrace
Fernandes should just walk back to centre circle for how shite he's been
Neville excited, then remembers that it puts City 8 points back having played a game more…
fuxking hell
Hahahaha hahahaha
Neville orgasm noise
HAHAHAHAHAAHAH
fecking vile commentary though
That’s a great finish
feck ME
City are hilarious
That was some finish
take it all back, he’s great
"He's almost apologising to the City fans" says Neville
...This is going to destroy City.
I'm Actually celebrating
Wtf
...Horrible isn't it
Pep will need more plasters for his head
city
Amad has been really good today.
Are you kidding me?
Brilliant play by United started off by that deft play by Ugarte. What a goal!
Brilliant goal to be fair
That is a flipping epic goal. fecking hell
Neville's biggest orgasm so far
I don't think I've laughed so much in ages, hahahahahahahahahaha
No idea why but the chorus of Vanishing Point by New Order has been running through my head watching this shit.
Pep is gonna explode
You’re getting sacked in the morning Ped…
Neville
He's got to be sacked though you can't be having that.
Some finish
Rip Pep's face
City are soooo shite. It’s great.
Hilarious. Good goal that
To be fair, the changes at least did something for Man Utd. City have been pure shite
Play a controlling central midfielder at left back and get 2 bits of bad defending to lose you the game.
Guardiola masterclass.
Neville is getting properly excited.
United have been fecking terrible too, which only makes it funnier
I feel dirty smiling at this but smiling i am.
I wonder if pep will walk. Icing on cake if he fecks it off
I'm a huge fan of the product Manchester football is producing at the moment
...The attempt to back heel the ball and completely miss it makes the goal even more funny.
fecking called it
...Its better they win then the other twats though
We should drop points more often. Arsenal draw, City lose. Just the original cheats to go.
Things really falling our way.
115 FC are finished. This is between us and Arsenal/PGMOL this season
£100 million pound corner from Grealish
I went to the kitchen to make some lunch at 1-0 couple minutes to go and the feckers scored twice
"Sacked in the morning"
Ped must be fed up of hearing that
City have their own dna back this season.
1 win in 11.....
fecking glorious
8 losses in 11.
...fecking hilarious
WOWWW
...I don’t think City have won 4 of their last 5. More like LOLLL
The Diallo Derby - you twat Drury
A-mad finish to a shite game.
Hilarious.
"The day he became a man" etc, feck off Drury. Worst commentator on TV and a part of the Utd lovefest
fecking hell. It’s been “Diallo cam” since the full time whistle.
Getting the Mainoo treatment.
City 4 pts from last 18.
hahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Amad has freakishly small nipples.
The boos at Full Time from these entitled, spoiled rats.
Neville has lost the run of himself hahahahaha. Purring. "This lovely shining light in red" he can't help himself.
It's absolutely hilarious today but he's shown once again how unbelievably unprofessional he is. His position is completely untenable for me.
Perfect result. Puts the cheats in their place and gives United the idea that they are back.
Diallo is a potential star. He’s so superior technically to any other attacker they have, he really carries the ball with the air of a good one
Now United will give a ridiculous contract for Amad and turn him into another Rashford again.
Kinell - I put the sound back on and that utter twat and the other twat are spouting utter tripe. Back on mute
Is there a more fake derby than Utd v City ? Both clubs would rather see the other win anything than see us succeed
Perfect result for Liverpool. City drop more points and United think theyre good again
Brexit Jim looks gutted, probably got to pay a win bonus
Ratcliffe will celebrate by giving the staff an extra sprout at the xmas staff party.
We really must capitalise on this stinker of a season that City are having. I'll feel sick if we let Chelsea or Arsenal pip us to the post.
Well I hope you're all ready for the crowning of Chelsea as champions for a week when they beat Brentford and their self confessed genius of a manager
Two of our challengers take 1 point between them from 2 of the worst teams in the league
I don't remember a weekend when Man Utd and Everton have given me such fecking delight
I'm assuming from the celebrations that this result means United are now Champions of Europe?
I like Amorim
Booooo Moon.
Blueloon will be fun tonight.
He's not setting a good example to his families.
That's a great line.
Brexit Jim looks gutted, probably got to pay a win bonus
Ratcliffe will celebrate by giving the staff an extra sprout at the xmas staff party.
Ratcliffe will celebrate by giving the staff an extra sprout at the xmas staff party
The amount of hatred on RAWK is unhealthy. Absolute cesspit.
They feel hard done by the fact that he 1. dominated them in the two matches he played against them. 2. Took Curtis Jones place in the England squad and 3. Made the TAA in midfield a redundant experiment as he took the CM spot next to Rice for England during the eurosWhy the f*** do they hate on Mainoo so much? Weird.
Because people had the gall to suggest that he should make the England squads ahead of Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones last spring. Even though him and Elliott don't play the same position and Mainoo was clearly the better choice for what England needed at the time.Why the f*** do they hate on Mainoo so much? Weird.
