Fair play to Fergie for keeping the title race more interesting for the neutrals.
We all know if he really wanted United to win today then they would have.

Thoroughly enjoyable game for an ABU!!!!

Enjoyable even for us Utd fans. Yeah, I know it was a shit result for Utd, but it will make things interesting.

Entertaining day but bad result. Still 3 points ahead and still in Utd's own hands. 2 wins and a draw will do. Every club in the league would like to be in Utd's position.

United a bad outfit.

4-2 up and 20 minutes left.

United have no chance of getting close to City's superior goal difference, since a City win in the derby would extend it even further. United either need to not lose at City or failing that hope that Newcastle take points off them otherwise it looks like the only cup that matters is heading across Manchester! Even if 2 points ahead on the last day away to Sunderland won't be easy!!

Squeaky bum!! :O

Well if the worst happens & City sneak in to win the title i still think 1991/92 1994/95 would be worse title losses. In 2009/10 United had it in their own hands all they had to do was draw with Chelsea to win the league but lost. Now it's the same situation on Monday week hopefully a better outcome & i know there's games after that fixture but it's unlikely the league leader will slip up after that game.

Again credit to both teams on fine league season & the Sky hype machine has the game they always wanted.

They will be in over drive next weekend. No reason why Utd can not get a result there. Have faith.

Utd looked a tired team the last 10 mins, at this stage of the season i am surprised to see this from a fergie team.

Maybe not playing in the latter stages of CL/FA cup have had a detrimental effect of utds on field performance at the business end of the season?

it was supposed to be the other way around, i.e that they would benefit from playing less games.

The injury to Vidic was massive.

It's up to Newcastle now. That's the only result that can prevent City winning the league, as United won't get anything at City.

Do you not think Utd can get a draw at City? Well capable of it I think, maybe even win.

Bad result at the weekend but at the end of the day still 3 points clear witha few games left. A draw or a win next Monday and the title should stay with United. I can see Newcastle taking points of City too.

Sure it was only 3 months ago utd won at Citee

screenexile · April 23, 2012, 10:09:12 AM

Are people forgetting the fact that man for man City are a better team than Utd? Especially now with Tevez & Kompany back and Silva looking in much better form than he has done in the past few months. City have won their last 3 games easily while Man Utd have struggled to beat mediocre opposition.

Momentum is with City at this stage, I'll be away next week but hopefully I'll find somewhere to get watching the game.
