Linked with Perisic all summer. Bids made so United are definitely after a winger.

Paul Merson says Jose Mourinho is looking very bitter at the minute. United seem to be dominating the game, but they are not getting any shots on goal. :/

It's a long season! I think City will have a couple of down periods, playing the way they do is going to be tough to keep going for an entire season. When the games start to come thick and fast when the international nonsense finishes, the weather turns, teams learn how to handle them a bit better etc..

They're still red hot favourites and it's going to take an enormous effort from a team to keep pace and take advantage of the slip ups, but it's doable. Man Utd can do it, Spurs can also (if they get to grips with the whole Wembley thing).

I hope City are not 15 points ahead when their down period comes.

Jose being very magnanimous after the game. Huddersfield wanted it more, the best team won. etc. I remember when he said the best team didn't win when Real knocked out United. Surely he couldn't be flirting with Huddersfield. :p

Boy did the guys stink today. Injuries are starting to pile up, not good.

City will have a slump of their own no doubt. But you got to give them the clear advantage at this point.

Lol I sent that picture to my mate. He was at the game and is not amused. Yeah, you have to expect a beating eventually. Just couldn't imagine it being at Huddersfield. It was only the other night when Stevie G of all people was defending United and their tactics against Liverpool. They also talked about matches like this being the matches they couldn't afford to drop points. It escalated quickly with defeat at Huddersfield.

3 shots on target today. :/

Expected a more convincing win over last placed Malaga, Deulofeu's first goal for the club shouldn't have counted. Oh well. Got to do better in the next La Liga game when we visit Bilbao.

Valencia with some very good form, especially in front of goal. Only one less goal scored than us. Took a point at home against Atletico and away against Real. Got to watch out for them.

A slump for them means their goal differential drops from 8:1 to 4:1? I'd take that slump!

It’s going to be interesting to see how it plays out. They’re playing like ‘09 Barcelona, but is that sustainable in England? Can it be done when it’s -5 degrees and the rain is coming down sideways? When sides get past the sheer awe of it and start hacking at them? That’s not going to happen in Spain, but embarrassing a journeyman English squad player is going to have consequences.

I still think they’ll win the title, but it’s not going to be as easy as it’s been so far imo.

Yeah, Pep is making it really messy for the rest of the premier league. Just like old times. :p

Everton continued their fine form today.

thank god for the bluenoses. never fail to deliver do they :D

The game vs Spurs feels huge.

Spurs normally bend over away to United. be a huge statement if they beat them, think they're the only side capable of going toe to toe with City. United are only up there as a result of their **** easy start to the season, they're just not that good even after spending £600m? since Ferguson retired - imo the best yous could hope for is for a top4 challenge & maybe another Mickey Mouse trophy to add to the collection. :p

I wonder where will Liverpool be placed this season now that their "record vs top 6 achievement" will look like complete crap. :D

United under Maureen have managed a total of ONE goal against the top6 away from home. let that sink in. :D

Saw an article about Pogba being out longer. Great. :/

And that is the hilarious defense that our imbeciles refused to attack when visiting Anfield. Bravo guys. :rolleyes:

Jose Mourinho is to blame for that. Pretty much the exact same match as last season, United gave the illusion of being a little more threatening because the team has improved. Yeah, the players have to take some blame. The manager isn't the one out on the pitch. Magic is still possible.

At least you're used to it. We all are. Not ready to give up the season just yet. lol

I'm sure they made your day a little better. Best you can hope for is finishing in the top half. That's me being generous too. I would have to agree about United. They are better than you're lettingon, but they are second best as long as City are around in this form.

Luke Shaw is ready to leave his current left out position and have a stunning game at left back tonight. Shaw is currently 4th or 5th choice left back according to the article I'm reading. :/

In terms of first 11 Spurs have to be City's closest challenges, question's about the squad size and mentality though.

Probably your best left back too, Mourinho ****ing hates him though. Guess choosing United over Chelsea must've really left a mark on him.

They'd never go 1-9 against two of the title challengers like Liverpool have done recently though. :p

True, but if you win two and lose two no matter the margins of those matches is better than drawing 4.

Not starting tonight. Blind is lb. Your man Rashford playing as number 9.

Shaw is still one of the top 3-5 lb in Footy. Be interesting to see how he looks this year. It is a shame.

So Wolves are the first to deny City a goal this season, could have won it at the end if not for Bravo.

Could be entertaining final stages of the Carabao Cup, especially if Tottenham and Chelsea progress tomorrow.

What a game it was! We had my Grandad over to watch the stream, but he ended up sleeping for most of it (perks of being 84 I guess). Anyway, Midlands Today should be entertaining tomorrow evening. They always manage to find the strangest of characters to interview outside the club shop up town after a big game.

Oh my goodness. Flashback to 1997, underage drinking and white lightning. lol Must have been all I could afford back then or maybe it had a reputation. Trying to get somebody to go into the off licence to buy it for us. They were kids once, they understood. Whatever the case, the cider days did not last long. ewwwwww

Haha I think it was a mixture of the price and the quantity it came in. The bottles were massive! I think they’re bigger than my current water boiler set up :eek: I actually didn’t mind the taste though, Woodpecker was another one. Then of course you have Lambrusco when it was time to take a girl down the park, treat her to the good stuff, you know? Unless you weren’t really feeling it, then it would be Lambrini (the fake version of Lambrusco, for the time when 99p for 5 litres is just too steep a proposition :D).

99p for five litres. haha Literal rocket fuel that has been contaminated with petrol while it is being transported over. It will certainly hit the spot. Now having flashbacks to days in the park. I raised my game a bit on those occasions haha.Woodpecker is the elegant man's choice, no? A few hand rolled 80's cigars to go along with it. :p Can remember my mate drinking it a few years back. I thought it was weird because he was never a cider drinker.

Andre Ayew knows that it will be time for a real celebration soon. Won't be long before he is sipping on some of that fine Lambrusco.

It really was rocket fuel. I seem to remember being able to see in the dark after drinking too much of it. I’m not sure if it gave me superpowers or if it was that dirty it made everyone who drank it glow :p Woodpecker is the good stuff? I seem to remember it being cheap. Maybe it was Kingfisher then. I just remember it had a red label and was named after some form of bird haha.

You might be on to something with the Lambrusco, maybe they start handing it out again during the man of the match presentations? Cheap and large quantities could lead to some F1 style spraying celebrations. Much better than that weird green trophy they give players these days, surely!

That was unlikely but we will have no derbies in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth
Arsenal vs West Ham United
Leicester City vs Manchester City
Bristol City vs Manchester United

No Kane tomorrow. Jose said we don't have Ibra, Pogba, Fellaini, Rojo and Carrick so don't speak to him about Kane. :D

Big match. One of the teams will trail City by eight points after tomorrow or maybe both will by seven, assuming the Arabs win. Dear oh dear...

Took time. Nothing happening in the first half then it seemed like Spurs had no belief in the second. United finally started creating some chances. The elegant composure of super sub Martial gets it done once more.

In b4 Tottenham missed Kane, Tottenham played poorly, Tottenham always bend against Man United...

Keep praising Martial, Poisoned Slice, it's working. Next time say he is 20x better than Rashford. :D

The most goals in last 10 minutes stat came up then all of a sudden Martial is in and another goal in the last 10. It was great. Did feel like a deserved win. Think it comes down to Martial's cool French elegance. Not that I dislike Rashford, he almost made a chance for Lukaku before he came off. At the time of the sub I would have kept Rashford on but I can see that there was no chance of taking Lukaku off. Worked in the end. Need to make chances for the big man since he is not the most dynamic centre forward in the world.

Bad miss from Messi in the first half but he made up for it with the opening goal. Massive credit goes to Ter Stegen for the win. That's 4 points from the two tough away games so far, which is solid.

Awful performance. There goes the La Liga title, Barcelona are consistency monsters domestically. However I am not writing the guys off for a Champions League three-peat yet.

It would be great if the lead is still 8 points after the first El Clasico. But let's not completely ignore Valencia, they are on some very good form and have played both Real and Atletico already.
