Rooneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! He's played shit but who cares XD

[Szumi]

Wow. That was fucking incredible.

[Colly]

Fuck me thats nice. Bonus since I'm the only one in our Dream Team minileague with Nani and Rooney...

[Sam]

Goal of the season surely?

[Pesci]

WHAT a goal. But why did it have to be Rooney? United fans aren't gonna shut up about that for about ten years and we can look forward to seeing it replayed for the next twenty or thrity. Still, fantastic finish.

[Colly]

Nah, Tiote got that last week. Goal of the decade in fact.

Well, having accepted that the league will be out of reach, City losing is a good thing. If Spurs can win their two games in hand then they go above them. Man City may yet miss out on Champions League which would be the ideal end to the season.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Can Giggs play into his 40s? I really hope so, when he retires it will feel reeeeeally weird seeing as he's been playing for Man Utd since I was a kid and really paying attention to football.

[Colly]

I hope so. Its not that I particularly dislike City, but its the attitude of 'its a project', i.e. 'yeah its fine that we went to Arsenal to draw, because we aren't winning the league this year, we're just going for the Champions League then we build from there'. You were fucking second and you played for an Allardyce draw, you aren't entitled to get into Europe by default.

Fuck me sideways, what a finish. I thought Berbatov's overhead kick against Liverpool was brilliance but this may have beaten it.

City were stronger, had better possession, but Tevez was far too isolated. I wouldn't say United played well, but Giggs, and Nani to a lesser extent, bossed the wings and both centre halves had an excellent game. Abosolutely ecstatic right now.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

If Messi had scored that we'd NEVER hear the end of its' brilliance. That was a tremendous bicycle kick. Maybe the best bicycle kick I've seen since:

Being a die hard City fan, there is absolutely no shame in going to Old Trafford and just losing out to a goal like that. With the shit Rooney was going through last year, I think he needed something like that.

In fact, Mike Summerbee has just become awesome in my eyes. He put the pundits on Sky in their place, making them admit there was another team in this match.

3 people that went into this game with lots of doubt hanging over them were O'Shea for being poor this season, Smalling due to his youth and Rooney due to everything thats happened in his life and all 3 delivered. Smalling was incredibly mature and the tackle he put in during the dying minutes was pure FEELINGS~!. O'Shea passed the ball very well from the back and that goal was absolutely stunning, chuffed to bits and I hope we carry this on.

[Szumi]

Wow, fucking pathetic. Down 2-0 in under 10 minutes. Yepp, we're going down

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Wahey! West Brom beating West Ham already! This is excellent news. I look forward to West Ham peddling the Olympic Stadium in the Championship. Brady, Gold and Sullivan can then talk about the legacy to the 20,000 that turn out there.

[Baddar]

Fucking hell, boxy - did you rip into Meireles personally, or what? Since bollocking him after the B'burn game, he has been fantastic. 1-0 Liverpool.

[Pesci]

I think it's got more to do with having a manager who knows how to use him.

[Baddar]

Is he playing in a different position now, then?

[Szumi]

Seriously, if you want to see why we suck so bad, have so many shit players and/or players playing shit, and heading for the Championship, look no further than that boardroom. Keep bashing them Hamster, although they deserve much worse than verbal tirades.

I didn't watch the Summerbee stuff, but I read he was talking absolute shite? Apparently claiming Kompany is the best CB in the league, acting like City had the better stats, but then the stats showed they favoured us, in which case he acted like stats didn't matter? More shit talking in there too, true? I've always thought he was a cock, but I wasn't sure if certain United fans were talking shit regarding the stuff he was saying?
