    United are guilty of that as well this season. Once they score, they sometimes pressurise for another 10 mins after or so, then they set back more. A winning side needs to be attacking all of the time.

    Yeah, not what i needed to see though...

    Im not sure City did deserve the victory. We pressurised and pressurised most of the game. in fact we hit the post twice and the crossbar twice in the whole game. I think what we saw out there today is just how much luck can play in a game. Man City were not impressive. Robbies first goal was a very lucky one for them. The third goal was an uncharacteristc mistake from Silvestre which was lucky for City. The fourth was a hit and hope very lucky goal that might have taken a slight deflection off Wes Brown.

    Overall, its disappointing, but im not that upsaet, as i've already ruled out winning the premiership. If you dont win, it doest really matter if you are 2nd, 3rd or 4th, you will still get into CL...

    Oriphus very true indeed I watched the man u gane n thought as we talked about earlier in the week they si miss KeanE were will they get a replica off him from ......???

    only caught the second half so not much input on that game ......

    over the 90 of the liverpool game I thought liverpool were the better side but its goals that coyunt n Southhampton deserved it they took there chances well:)) hey lets keep this thread going is an awesome one :)

    The manchester derby was quite an upset. if anything, i was expecting the score to be 4-1 to Man Utd :p Well for those of us who were watching the game from a netural point, or biased against Man U, the game was great. Too bad liverpool did there usually thing, and lose.

    lol - United will never be finished. Unnited are one of the few clubs that can go out and spend the sort of money Chelsea spent and i can guarantee that more players will want to come to United than to Chelsea. If we offer the right amount, we may have juaquin coming in the summmer as well as Fernando Torres. Those would be two excellent aquisitions for us. But, and its a big But, we need to purchase a top class defender like Puyol from Barca or someone like that (nesta would do lol).

    Yeah, we do miss Keane. In fact Man United shouldve bought Makalele when he left Madrid, as he was the obvious replacement for Roy Keane. Ah well, didnt happen. We also should have bough Damien Duff as it was aobvious he was very good and also really wanted to play fo United.

    The derby itself i found enjoyable, and even after a major defeat like that, i wasnt overly upset, strange.... Maybe i know what it feels like to support a team that has a tendencie to lose lol.

    Yeah, that really does cheer me up a good bit. That would be an excellent signing for United, an obvious replacement for Ryan Giggs when he steps down, though my guess is that if we do sign him, they will interchange between the two of them.

    Also, according to that website, Makelele will be offloaded among others:

    Yeah, not to sure what the Beckham situation is. He is palying very well Real Madrid and is always a starter, so it would be a loss for them. United did of course let him go for too little. I hope we do get Torres, though with Solskjaer and Saha its not as much a problem as our defense. We need a very strong midfielder. Im happy to give Ronaldo a lot fo starts on the right, cuz he is turning into a great player i feel.

    lol - doubt that Ferdinand will go to be honest. Chelsea reserves hahaha, just wait for the reply my friend, roll on May....

    David Beckham did an exclusive interview with a Spanish paper and stated that he has played the best football of his life in his 6 months at Real Madrid (i agree) and that he will be playing for them next year and will not be returning to England. Again, who really knows lol...
