It's not over yet, still 180 minutes and change for City. We can all have a laugh for now. That was pure entertainment and another reason why the Premier League is the most entertaining and most competitive league over the course of a domestic campaign.

United have far larger issues. 60 points from 36 is horseshit. Roll on tomorrow.

City better not fuck this up. This is the ONLY time I will ever want City to put together two emphatic wins.

Samuel, absolutely. I don't fancy their chances next season at all. The only reason they've been in the title run is because they've played about 12 games less than all the other top teams this season and it's kept them fresh in the run in.

Brendan Rodgers was talking pre match about how City will get nervy and so on, seems he took him and his players took their eye of the ball. They could have played out a boring 0-0 against Chelsea as a point was enough for them, but they chose to naively chase the game and they well and truly fucked it up!

THEY WELL AND TRULY FUCKED IT UP! That feels so good saying that!

Turned over to the youth cup game when Liverpool were 3-0 up.
Ends 3-3! Football! Bloody Hell.

What a collapse from Liverpool :lol:

But brilliant from Palace. Great support down there to be fair. Good on em! :twisted:

The ironic thing is that Moyes is sunning himself on the beach with £7m in his back pocket thinking " Well I've got more silverware than both Rodgers and Maureen this season"

gary - i agree.. i think they've had everything their way. Fergie retiring, moyes coming to do an inside job of ruining everything the club has built, some other top four not being as ruthless as they should be, not a lot of injuries to their key players.. getting 3 pens at oldtrafford. it really has been their year.. hopefully all they will get is playing back the steven G comments.. all that effort put in, even united falling to 7th and they still could not get the job done.. it's not over yet but let's hope it is

Liverpool's fuck up has turned a generally shitty day into the best DAY EVER. Never in my life could I have imagined that happening at 3-0. I was thinking Palace just get one back for City's Goal Difference. What a fucking Day.

Love Tony Pulis to bits now. hahahaha.

@Samuel

Lacking courage is a man who jumps out of tackles, affaird of getting hurt and iom affraid hes spent the best part of 7 years doing that, He wouldnt have lasted 2 minutes in a Roy Keane, Bryan Robson or Paddy Crerand side. Funny thing is after jumping out of the tackle he spends the next 5 minutes holding his ankle, face or another part of his body when theirs nothing wrong with him. No wonder the United faithful tell him to get up all the fucking time. The biggest compliment I can give to Nani is hes slightly better than Young

hahaha!!!! Palace played without fear and exposed Liverpool's shit defence. But lets face it, anyone thinking this makes Pullis a genius is clueless, Rodgers is different league as a manager, Liverpool lost this by not making their lead secure and being more defensive after they got 3, their back line was too high, fullbacks too high, very poor defending from Liverpool, nerves got to them.

The standard of the top 4 this season is pretty shit, weaker than last year I would say, no team has really impressed, City have got a bit of a head od steam now with Toure back but they could not buy an away win start of season and have dropped points all over.

Well that has made my day!!!!!! Save a complete fuck up Liverpool are NOT going to get near our fucking perch, hahaha. Lets all laugh at Gerard.

Now, lets hope Chelsea can beat the greasy oil men of the City council house. Hahaha.

You can talk about Zahas potential all you want, he cost £15million, yet he cant even get a start for one of the worst sides in premier league history, let that sink in a minute, if he was that great he would of been Cardiffs main player, not bit part player

@Tommy.....yeah I'm with you on Nani.....he has the skillset but not the application. Had he an ounce of Ronaldos courage he would be right up there.

tommy - so because he jumps out of tackles.. (which is debatable, he has had some tough injuries)) that constitutes lacking bravery? really.. that is your view of course but probably explains why so many are backward thinking.. bravery can be interpreted in several ways.. my view is a player that demands the ball even in the most difficult situation is braver than a limited headless chicken with no purpose on the pitch... trying a difficult skill or pass constitutes more bravery than a cowardice elbow into another player's face.. most players roll around, it is part of the modern game, in which margins for victory are minimal and players look for every possible advantage.. This is not solely nani, even better players do it.
i don't think running and sticking your foot in order to claim an irrelevant macho badge defines bravery.. perhaps during the days of chopper harris, people did the salivate over the breaking of another man's limb over skill or a goal.. perhaps people need to broaden their horizon and learn what true bravery is on the pitch for it has difference in definition.

judging by nani's record at united, he will depart the club as by far one of the most productive of players.. he is not slightly better than young, he is miles better than a footballing con artist who is yet to justify his status at this football club

@NBI.....Rodgers deserves credit of course, but so does Pulis. Palace were down and out before he took over.

The thing is, this is Liverpools level really. The lack of European football has bloated their position.

tommy - i'm not sure why you've listed names.. i did say a few were good enough.. i think the foreign managers outweigh them in comparison.. As good as it is you've managed to scrape together a few, there are thousands who are clearly out of their depth, for a country with the game's origin, that is apalling

I really REALLY wish Sir Alex had waited just one more season. Our story would most definitely had been different. Everybody's just fumbling left right and centre this season. This is perfect Sir Alex scenario. Take advantage of everyone else's fuck ups.

Bollocks. His biggest regret would have been retiring. This league would have been sewn up by now and who knows we might even be in the CL final

Tommyy - perhaps it highlights the fuck up at cardiff if they are relying on zaha, a player in his first season in the PL.. there could be a number of reasons why zaha has not been in the team, i think he's played well and a had a couple of off games but that is to be expected of the type of player he is and his inexperience. At the end of the day, 15mill or not, zaha was bought as a potential.. he never was the finished article.. it would be baffling to discard him if his potential and footballing circumstance are analysed.. a new manager will check him out, he does have the attributes, let's see how it goes

@ Warrored - Pullis gets tons of credit, 4 sho, but he is not a top four manager, he is great at what he does though and I think this is his best season as a manager, give him manager after the year or Rodgers, my point was the idea someone ike Pullis is a top manager is crap, he is a great mid table, relegation fighting manager, but that's his level and he is great at it.

@ Tommy - what a nonsensical statement - you say as Zaha cost £15mn he should walk into an EPL starting XI despite having no EPL experience? Firstly, what has his price to do with it? He cost that much as Arsenal and Liverpool wre also in for him. Young and Fellani cost more and I would rather play Zaha. Zaha was bought on development potential, he was never going to be a regular starter anymore than Januzaj who has not got a look in since Jan. Nor has Lingard, nor has Powell. They are playing championship football, does that mean they are shit?

Young creative players are less likely to get chances at relegation teams who are fighting for survivial and go for experience, e.g. Morrision being shipped out of West Ham, look at the first XI of relegation zone teams, you think they are focusing on blooding inexperienced youth? You think a player who has no EPL experience can just walk in and start?

Zaha is bought for his potential, same as Lingard and Powell and Januzaj, they are all struggling for games and we need to get United back to a position where we are solid enough and brave enough to develop these players nd give them games despite the fact they will make mistakes.

Ole is a great player and he rates Zaha highly. Everyone rates JAnuzaj highly. That does not mean they get to start and Januzaj's chances of starting are lower when we are in 7th fighting to win games as managers like Moyes and Giggs have gone for experience, that's how it is when teams are down, blooding youth takes a special team and special manager.

Let us hope Zaha and all our youth get a proper chance and don't have to read this shit of how they are written off one season into their first EPL year.

warrored - i made no comparison.. tommy did. but of course he is no ronaldo, only clowns compared him to that but i would argue he competes well with the likes of kanchelskis who is similar to valencia than nani.. i think nani beats him for talent.. beckham edges nani but thought becks has been celebrated more than his actual ability.. he worked hard and was great at what he did but never a world class player. Best obviously knocks down nani, one of the clear best players of all time. This really is not about comparison

Your comment on Muller is probably because Van Gaal played him, If youre playing managers love you, if your benched they hate you simple as. SAF, pep, Mourinho all had players who hated them as well as loved them

This tiki taka.....it became fashionable with Barca and Arsenal in the last 6 years or so. It didn't work for Arsenal as it did for Barca.

Did it only work because Barca were blessed with Xavi Iniesta and Messi?

Is it why it isn't working for Bayern because they don't have those 3.

Is Pep really a great coach or just lucky to have a player like Messi to work with?

Evra: - ‘I will decide in two weeks about what I am going to do,’ said Evra, who joined United from Monaco in January 2006.

‘There have been a lot of rumours, but I have not decided anything yet. My agent will have a meeting with Manchester and we will see.’

When pressed on the matter, Evra responded with a cryptic answer: ‘Look, everyone knows how much I love this club,’ he said.

‘It’s difficult... The reason is an important reason. And you will see. I will tell if I am staying or leaving this club at the end of the season.’

Off course their are more on the continent because their is more countries on the continent, name me a load of good spanish managers, or german managers, On Pulis I cant remember in a long team, pochttino maybe a manager making a bigger impact than pulis has had on palace, seriously they have the worst squad along with Cardiff in the premier league yet are one of the in form teams, paslace would be relegated at they appointed one of the foreign managers you all love so much, imagine the respect a foreign manager would get on here had they done the job Pulis does, now I dont care less were a manager comes from but to have people labelling all british managers useless is wrong as Pulis has shown

German Newspaper Bild......Thomas Muller....Louis Van Gaal.....Manchester United. Now this seems credible report esp Bild is a respected source I think. Hopefully one of the players to join us this summer.
Of course, centre midfield and left back are the most pressing positions to be addressed with quality players. I think Muller is simply put a world class player who is smart and versatile that can end Nani Vs Valencia debate forever.
