Can see the wheels really coming off V Blackburn if they don't get a win. Never seen such a boom/bust team or support really, some of the stuff on the forums and on twitter is mind blogging really.

Blackburn will cause problems but I think they should have enough unless the stories of disharmony are really true, by all accounts the press have added legs to what happened and it was fairly standard that you'd expect from a team beat out the door.

Get the win tomorrow night but it will be a battle as Blackburn will be rubbing their hands to find out exactly how fragile team spirit really is.

It's ridiculous. Pathetic really. I understand the desire to get back challenging again, consistently rather than as one off flash in the pans, but some of the stuff that comes out on twitter and the like is absolutely stupid and ridiculous. When they were on a 17 game unbeaten streak, the same clowns were raving about Rodgers and the team. These days of instant news and instant reaction means you have to look at an awful lot of misinformed bullshite if you want to actually read those sites.

Just as well there's none of that on here eh?

If they're cute they'll get big money of the likes of Toure, Nasri and several others that they'd be better off without. To be honest, a CL ban is no biggie to them because they've not made an impact in it anyway and a fine would be beyond stupid.



Will the opposite not happen?? Like I said they're all 29 or older and aren't going to attract the type of transfer fees City need to replace them especially on the amount of money they're getting paid at City. A Champions League ban would be huge for them, City were basically bought to promote a country, what better way to do that than win the Champions League, they might be doing gash in it at present but you can be sure that's what one of their ultimate aims is.

In fairness to United they are getting results and that's all that matters.  I can't say they have played well or not as I have only seen them a few times.  The games that I have seen De Gea has been the best player on the pitch for them but in years gone by how often was Smicheal the best player they had.  There is a good bunch of players there and if they can be blended into the right formation they can be very good.  Still shaky defensively but a top 4 finish and a few new defenders and United will be very hard to beat. 

It's sad that I will be cheering for them to beat City as I genuinely think that is the only avenue that we have to make top 4.
United played well at home to Newcastle and QPR earlier in the season but the caveat of those teams being absolutely muck should also be noted!

United have found form in the last 3 games. Read an article a few weeks ago (forget by who) talking how Van Gaal's Bayern found form all of a sudden after a few months of mediocrity.

Mata on the right and Herrera both finding form have been key I think.

Can't be arse thrawling back through here but I recall a long debate how city were streets ahead of United. Just goes to show you how quickly things can change.

Don't rate City as a club at all personally, it's like the players know they are there for a cash cow and that's about it. 2 titles (handed to them by United in 2012 and Chelsea/Liverpool last year) and shocking performances in the champions league.

I read this morning that only 2 of City's team last night were under 29, Kompany and Aguero, with Kompany turning 29 this week. Could be their time is up unless they take on FFP this summer which the Neviller was advocating they should do last night on Monday night football.

Did anyone get a clear view on Dessie Mone's black card? Thought he was on for a free and really surprised when the card was shown. Did he pull his man down with him?

I was an awful long way from it but I thought Dessie was the instigator of whatever took place. All around me was baying for a Monaghan free but I turned to my mate and said Dessies in bother here. I actually thought he'd gotten a red card

Alternatively City could get beat tonight, lose on Sunday and only be 4 ahead of Liverpool :-). Plenty of points left to play for..

So at this stage do Liverpool fans want to hang on in a Europa League place or would it be better to fall away so no European distractions next season?
Sure 4th isn't over yet.

can't see the teams that are in the top 4 losing that many points for liverpool to get 4th and i'd say liverpool will lose another 2 games or more before the season is over.

Its not inconceivable that United could get 2, 1 or even no points from their next two fixtures? 4th is still well within Liverpools realm but I suppose the big question is how will they regroup after those couple of defeats, especially if the rumblings of dressing room discontent are true.

Real are 7-0 up at home to Granada with 35 mins left, this could end up any score. Ronaldo has 4 already

An alternative view on the Sterling situation from Michael Owen, he makes some valid points..
