    That hand gesture will be legendary if Man C go on and lift the title.

    If you see it from the other angle it looks like Fergie makes that gesture first iirc

    Also neck on Fergie to give out about a manager hassling officials, was it the Everton game where he was giving out to the 4th official for about 10 minutes?

    I wonder if the OP had editing privillages on this thread would he delete it :)

    But he won't really be right, even if they don't win. He completely scrapped them and ridiculed people who disagreed with him. Now they're back in front with 2 games left, even if they do lose it from here, the 'implosion' he referred to was non existent, or at least no worse than Uniteds, weren't they 8 points ahead recently? They might well lose it from here but the fact that they got back in front means he was wrong to write them off so prematurely and with such conviction.

    That's a fair point and yes I do agree with you. One can only assume plasma guy is a young teenager with no real experience of end of season run ins. Never write anyone off until it's done. On the other hand I still think people are getting ahead of themselves a little. A lot of posts acting like united lost the title last night. Still 2 games left in which to do that properly...

    As a footballing man (as opposed to the Man City bandwagoners), Utd have never blown such a points lead in the history of the premier league.

    Go back over the years if you want.

    I'm not here for petty arguments.

    Utd have never blown a lead like this before.

    City should have run away with the league when you consider their massive resources, resources which are far more than Utds these days.

    The thing is, its people who know little about the history of Utds record in the premier league particularly at this stage of the season who would have given city a chance.

    I've watched united for years now and like most people who watch the EPL, Utd once they get into this position rarely if ever give it up.

    If city with all their resources couldn't account for a utd team with a mixture of kids, old men, and a lot of injuries, then really, they would never have won the league.

    But I just know most people on here aren't interested in the football or seriously analyzing it, just winning an argument and jumping on a bandwagon.

    Yes it was Fergie who got on to Mancini first about talking to the officials, Fergie says he was at the ref and the official all game. Bit rich coming from Fergie alright, but the pic posted makes it look like Mancini is the aggressor when it was very clear that Fergie was

    Look you were spectacularly wrong, just have the bollox to admit it instead of trying to spin yourself as some superior football analyst.

    Well as a football man I'm shocked that you've clearly forgotten about 97/98 when Arsenal came from 11 points behind to win the title. Also how about 2001/02 when Arsenal came from 8 point back (where have we heard that before?) or 2009/10 when Chelsea came from 9 points back.

    Now do I need to tell you what team was overhauled on all 3 occasions? I'm sure as a football man you know.

    Seriously, stop all the flapping and make it easy on yourself. You got it wrong, no shame in it.

    So City fans are bandwagoners now. City and their resources - lol. Ya poor Man Utd. What did Fergie spend last summer, over £50m. I for one am glad there is now another club with cash to compete with Utd on the financial front. Utd have been at the top of the financial charts for ages in the EPL, good to have some competition.

    (Deep sigh, followed by embarrassed sheepish look)

    I am the OP, and "I GOT IT WRONG!!"

    Yes, fair play to City, but in my defence, who among you could honestly say otherwise, that City were too far behind Utd and it looked like a foregone conclusion? Eh, Eh?

    Well thats the beauty of sport and football, I suppose, it aint over til the fat lady sings!

    So win or lose, Mancini will not be sacked and that was my point really. Chelsea and Roman would have had him gone by now, but Citys owners seem a little more patient

    Utd could still win it, but my original question has been answered, he wont be sacked even if they do still lose it

    thank you and good night

    (Slinks away into the darkness) :D

    In fairness lads City haven't won anything yet. They could well loose to Newcastle in which plasmaguy may well be right at the end of the season. People are acting like the title has already been won.

    Exactly. Plasmaguy isn't wrong yet for all the slagging he's getting.

    If United win at home to Sawnsea, as they ought to, that puts all the pressure back on City in the 4:00 game as they've a much tougher game away to Newcastle and it'll be a must-win. That will test them just as much as last night's game as the pressure will be a massive since it will almost certainly be a title-sealer if they win, and the title gone if they don't.


    edit: thought the united game was on first but apparently not

    I'm sure if I looked back over this thread I'd find people who when city were 8 points down, didn't even bother posting to say it was over.

    A couple of people alright said City had a chance, and if City do go on to win the title, I have no problem apologizing to them.

    As for people who didn't write anything, hung back and then just post sh*te about people getting it wrong, they aint worth my time.

    why would you apologise? All you did was express your views as a "footballing man"?

    ...... even if they were unbelievabley spectacularly wrong there's really no need to apologise to anyone?

    You should probably apologise for the bandwagoners comment because it sounds pretty idiotic coming from a fan of the manchester uniteds!

    So, it's ok that you were so spectacularly wrong, because people that didn't post on this thread thought the same! And you can look back over this thread and see the non posts :confused:
    You don't have to go far back in this thread to see how wrong you were. About 5 posts up "United never blew a lead like that before":

    You need a semi decent argument to troll properly, all you're doing here is making a laughing stock of yourself. Especially when you think you know more about football than everyone else for some reason.
