Perfect ref to do so. No Manure fans are from Manchester.

Yes he is. And no, he shouldn’t. Just like Mike Dean shouldn’t ref the Merseyside Derby but he did not so long ago. Very odd.

Corrected it.

We're the ****ing competition!!

 

We've neither the budget or players (if we're also in regular CL comps) to directly compete against ManC. We're currently 12 point away from them. Yes for top 4 sure, but not for the title. Not on a regular bases. Like I say ideally I hope we can become that team but it's not realistic. 

[Sir Shep]

Man U getting a deserved penalty, what next, Messi signing for Leicester?

Yes, he’s from Altrincham which is right next to United’s ground. His family has season tickets at United. Us Man City fans are not pleased with this appointment.

[David Hankey]

Is Man City's bubble about to burst?

[fox_up_north]

Wasn't going to bother with this game but might now. Do us a favour other, more morally suspect, City

[Jattdogg]

Man city will win this.

That was said in jest tbf.

 

Surely it suits us if Liverpool Arsenal Spurs etc. all do crap? Why do we want them doing well, competing with Man City and potentially pushing us out of the top 4? The more times we're in the top 4 the easier it is for us to grow as a football club.

[Hoopla10]

Well I'm glad Sky chose a completely unbiased commentator to cover this game. Of all the over-paid pundits they could have chosen who would of thought he was the only one available.

They've won the league irrespective of this game.

9-0 under threat?

That's a good really good point.

True. He's an Arsenal fan

Beautiful hoof out of play by HM just then.

Liverpool still being priced up by the bookies all wrong, been filling my boots for weeks now and will continue to do so until they turn a corner. 

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Come on Man City you an beat these

[Nuneatonfox in Manchester]

Hate the endless ar*e lucking of Rashford. Tyler just said he’s not been at his best... because of his shoulder injury. If it was that bad he wouldn’t play FFS 

[Arkie Bennett]

I'm becoming increasingly tired of offending teams kicking the ball away when they've conceded a free kick. One of the United players just did it twice for the same free kick.
