Nothing more thrilling than to see this goal. We will see Chelsea drop two more points. Now the only question becomes, can we win our remaining three? Yes, indeed.

Last minute goals, you gotta love 'em. Another late winner will cause my death for sure.

Guys, which was better. Owen's winner in the September derby or Scholesy's' winner? Really tough to choose between them. I will judge at the end of the season. If we do win the league (!) then I am going for Scholes' goal.

How costly that blackburn draw looks now :( But I believe that if we win our remaining games we will win the title, CSKA London will drop points at anfield.

Superb team play for the winner - Obertan collects the ball, waits and allows Patrice Evra to run into space vacated by the brain-dead Shitty defender, and then Obertan releases Evra into space and Patrice sends an inch-perfect cross into the space that the GingerNinja has so often found in the box. What made the goal so much better is that it was the third time this season that UTD have pulled off that last-minute-magic against the "citizens". A perfect way to show them who is Number One.

Fze123 - definitely Scholesy's goal, somehow it didn't look it we were going to score late on and then we did. And it was a well taken goal too.

What a difference a week makes, the current situation gives us all the confidence, doesn't it. We need to win all the three games and chelsea to draw one of their three. I hope today marks the shift in momentum and that we seize it. C'mon United, lets grab the league title now please, no mistakes.

I was saying God didn't make us lose twice against Bayern and Chelsea for a bad reason..and i had faith there was something extraordinary to come and i think this derby win has spaked some life not only into the players but into all Manchester United fans be it the fake ones and the loyal ones!! Now if we win all are remainder games and and Chelsea draw at least one...we win!!...and Chelsea will go down in history as the team who were four points ahead and slipped to let United win the title!

Three times this season I have SCREAMED and jumped around like a little girl ecstatic over something.........

1. Michael Owen's 96th minute winner (and first Old Trafford goal for Manchester United)
2. Wayne Rooney's superb header in the Carling Cup semi final second leg in injury time.
3. Paul Scholes' PERFECT header to beat Shay Given 4 games away from the end of the league, and 17 seconds away from the end of injury time, today

What is it about City that make them so unbelievably vulnerable to conceding game-winning goals nice and late? I reckon I know exactly what it was on all three occasions...

For Owen it was simply a case of they KNEW they were played off the field by United and GIFTED their goals... esp. their 3rd goal to make it 3-3... so when they got that they decided to just run the time down and be happy to get an undeserved result against their superior arch enemies..... Michael Owen had other plans....

For Rooney it was.. again.. that they were played square off the field by United and decided to hold on for Extra Time to see if they could come up with something...... Wayne Rooney had other plans...

For Scholes it was a case of being absolutely 100% OK with getting just a point at home against a United team that didn't perform as well as they did in both other examples... but they knew a point would allow them to say they ended United's title hopes and so again they slowed down, waiting for the whistle.... Paul Scholes had other plans...

Late goals just shows United players have more heart, more fight, more fitness, more stamina, more urgency, more determination and more ambition than City can even dream about. Their ambition has been to impede United for too long, they just don't "get it".

But hey City, thanks a BUNCH for the 6 points and the Carling Cup final spot, we'll be back to take those 6 again next season and whatever other cup advancement we might have to fight over...... now go do what you are good at... go put up posters or make a new chant about another United player... or go take advantage of a Wayne-Bridge-John-Terry-like situation... or buy a player from a BIG club and pay him to pretend he HATES his old manager... you know... be our BITCH... you know we got you RIGHT where we want you ;-)

What makes the goal even sweeter for me is the fact that that dirty cheating twat Viera was nowhere to be seen. Aren't you a defensive midfielder mate? Why weren't you marking Paul in the box in the dying seconds? You're a good 3 feet taller than him so you might, just might have been able to win that header. But, you were nowhere to be seen. So, cheers you cunt.

Mr Santos LUHG April 18, 2010

FANTASTIC WIN! I lost it when I saw the ball just roll just Given. I may be only 17 but I think that may be one of the most important goals I'll ever see if we end up winning the title.
OFF TOPIC: JT had 8 yellow cards, he then received two which meant he was sent off. Does he get a 1 match ban for 2 yellows or a 2 match ban for 10 yellows. Personally, I think he should be charged for both offences and given a 3 game ban!

@Mr Santos

I've never thought of that before. It would be great if both punishments were added together. That way, even if Chelsea DO win the league (which I obviously hope doesnt happen), that scum won't lift the trophy.

@Mr Santos & Drabik

Unfortunately at this stage in the season you need 15 yellows to get an extra game ban, not 10. Although I don't think it's a bad thing that Terry will be back soon the way he's been playing. He may lose ingurland the world cup this summer but more importantly he'll win us the league!

Mr Santos LUHG April 18, 2010

Thanks...Ahh gutted. It's a shame the game he's missing is against Stoke not Liverpool. Still the first time I'm going to be "cheering" for Liverpool to win & Torres to tear apart JT

@Mr Santos I suppose we are going to have to cheer Liverpool on when they face Chelsea. For once, and I never thought I'd be saying this - but Liverpool are our best chances at winning the title. So that's something me, and my two little liverpool friends who are fans are going to agree on this year - Liverpool winning a game.

What an absolutely, thrilling climate to end the game. I probably screamed so high pitched that not even a dog could hear me(!) It was fantastic; and when I was down the restaurant happily feeling for good for myself, united and the other fans in the restaurant - I look up to the nearest television and there is Tottenham - 2-0 up and Terry sent packing. I was on top of the world. Three more matches, three more wins - and a slip up for Chelsea weather it's draw or a win (Preferably, against liverpool so we can say they helped up beat their record) then I will have a heart attack(!)

Don't scare me like that again United(!) The last flaming 20 seconds, unbelievable!!

Its great to win the Derby against our arch rival, Man City. Apart from that, the loss at White HArt Lane also added another pep to the whole thig. Right now, our lads should concentrate on the game against Tottenham. A win against them will surely be a major step toward the fourth Premiership in a row. SAF should ensure Berba remains. I feel he would be a better player next season. Roo goes to nowhere likewise Vidic plssssssss
