Not the first time Norwich do a favour for Liverpool.
Well played Norwich, there won't be many 0-0s for them this season

That was the 1st non-United game I've watched the full 90 for in ages.

What was with both teams being, like, entertaining and stuff? And why did City put the ball in the box so much? So weird.

Buendia looks really good

If i was a City fan I'd be livid about not buying a CB in the summer

Though this would be after I shot myself of course
They did try for Maguire, to be fair. It's just that he chose us!

Fair play to Norwich. Amazing result for them considering all their injuries and will also give them a good reboot after recent losses.

Wow. Seems they underestimated Norwich badly, or are they still in disarray for losing Laporte?

Hopefully this will also shut up the idiots who said you can't play the way Norwich do when fighting to stay up in the PL, for a while at least. Like trying to be good at football isn't a help. God forbid weaker teams show a bit of ambition to do more than play agricultural football.

They have the biggest squad. Remember Jse saying their B team was good enough to win the PL or something?

Feck em.

Ah well. Considering how on point my predictions are these days, I'll just go a head and say Liverpool will win the league, just in case. :p

I suppose the attraction of a big club was too much;)
I believe City offered higher wages, too, if I remember reading correctly! I'm still chuffed we got him :D
Aye... It is a bit weird how Maguire seemed to suddenly become the only CB alive this summer - for both us and City
True :lol:

We've put all our eggs in one basket before so thankfully we got our man this time!

If you can't enjoying Norwich winning City like that after 5 games because you're scared of Liverpool winning the league in 8 months then you need to check your priorities if not only for the sake of your sanity.

Norwich scored thrice, fought hard against a relentless City side and seeing those fans in the stands cheering and nervous like they were watching a cup final was nice to see.

For once a minnow played against a big team not named Manchester United treating the game as a cup final yet people are pissed about pool. wtf

It's how far some fans believe we've fallen;the expectation is so low these days that the focus is now on stopping our bitterest rival.

Pathetic bunch of fans we have on here

Nah it was just one of those games where we couldn't put any pace or accuracy in our passing, we did it vs Spurs in the CL too with Laporte (where he was the biggest culprit). Two silly mistakes from defenders who are prone to switching off, that 3rd goal was a complete comedy.

Being honest I'd not be against playing Walker at CB (not because he's any better but) because he has the pace to make up these slips.

I've made peace with the fact they are winning it at some point, i don't have the mental energy to spend half the season hoping City save football again.

I just hope to god if it's this year they do it on the last day as we head to Anfield on the penultimate day :houllier:
Agreed, it's just tiring. Have to come to terms that after this season I probably can't use social media for a few years :lol:

Do United fans still believe smaller clubs put in more effort against you than they do against other big clubs?
