Feck ya! Feels good man. Really played well although there was plenty of the game where we were second best. Still, great little play by Bruno/Martial and sweet shot by McT.

Also liked how Pep was doing a Pep on Williams after the game - seemed to be giving him an encouragement after those tough 10 minutes he had against Mahrez.

How glorious was the post match frustration from that ex bitter Richards who just wanted to be anywhere but sat with a smug Neville and happy Keano.

Mate, lesbians use their fingers...

That only applies if they have foot fetishes :lol:
Of course. But Ederson the lesbian keeper was supposedly very good with his feet and He did so many mistakes that Phil Jones himself would be proud of. It's so untypical of him.

Great result today. Even Dean couldnt f*** it up for us - although he tried. Nailed on pen. However, I cant help feeling that a little while ago, a lot of people on here were saying any one of the following should be got rid of - Fred, Martial, Shaw, Ole - and yet now they are gods. No doubt, if the results start to turn against us those same people will be crawling out of the woodwork rubbishing Bruno, Ighalo (who has been a real bonus), Shaw (again) Maguire etc etc.
I have always urged caution, see how the season pans out before making snap judgements. And I reckon that's exactly what the coaching staff think too.
Apart from that - Woodward out.
Spot on mate.

Of course as a fan I do understand our frustration, despair and anger when we're playing badly or some of our players is having a shit day. However I really hope we can think back a bit, just a bit about things like yesterday before posting, that'd be great tbh.

this is the best thing that Ole has done for your club, these scenes would never have happened under your last few managers. Proper team spirit
Yep nothing like this. Club just won trophies with those last few managers.

Yeah shocker by their goalkeeper for both goals. They're looking very venerable at the wrong moment. They haven't knocked RM out yet.

They miss Sane. Sane was like their Messi: watch?v=711y6pM05yg Struts around making football look easy.
Iniesta = Bruyne
Messi = Sane

Still buzzing! Best monday morning in forever.

Great match, great win. Ole and the coaching team had a great game plan, and executed it to perfection.

Can't even pick a man of the match. Fred? Martial? Bruno? Matic? AWB? Since I can't decide a player, Ole gets it.

Get in!! :drool: :devil:

Feel like everyone’s getting a bit carried away. Listening post match and now MOTD. We are still 2 point behind top 4, Sheffield United can go above us with their game in hand and we have Jose’s Spurs next.

It was a fantastic result today but we need to stay grounded and get the job done. Top 4 is a must this season.
Yes. We mustn't celebrate a win in a derby. Must avoid celebrating at all costs.

Sheesh.

Yet players were feeling miserable and the managers needed to be sacked after 2 years. This feels entirely different. We are in 2 cups, which we could win and well in for a top 4 spot. Plus players are raving about Ole.

When we play Tottenham, Jose will be parking the bus. We will put him under it.

yes they were all loved and the team were all super happy together and everything was a success - though weirdly the general sentiment on here wasn't happiness for what was going on

Great game. AWB and Shaw, simply super.

Bruno will get a lot of the plaudits but I thought Matic and Fred were better on the day. Helps them so much having a player of Bruno’s quality ahead of them!

Incredible isn't it? Just incredible.
It's these moments in the season that exist outside of the bubble of the league table, form (although ours has been excellent) etc etc that just need to be enjoyed as the spectacles they are. It's a moment that happens only twice in 10 months (sometimes not even that). There'll be plenty of moments where we lose to Burnley and to some Europa league minnow at home to be miserable.

For now, all United fans are entitled to enjoy and fecking milk a derby win as much as we bloody well want! It's not getting carried away, because the jubilation is appropriate to the rarity of the event. We rarely achieve a league double over City so I say bask away.

Exactly. I find it pathetic.

I won't name names, but there's a poster who I have noticed has been conspicuously absent since yesterday, pre-game. I went back over unsaid poster's posts ... and noticed it's been a recurring theme after victories. Yet, instantly on here after draws / defeats.

Gonna see if the trend continues before pointing it out. An absolutely pathetic way to be. But I'm sure unsaid poster is not alone, just the one I've noticed so far.

Drunk as a skunk on the boat coming back. What a result. Worth every penny seeing this game.

For the first time in many years, I felt that City are finished. They looked ordinary and their motivation is gone. I think they have a good crack at winning the CL but I can't see City winning the league next year if you put it that way. United, on the other hand, looked strong and organized. Ole has put some fight in this team. Yes, we scored because of two howlers but it's such a big difference in confidence and playing style compared to only a month or two ago.

Very well said. I can't understand why anyone would be reluctant to enjoy the moment. Have they forgotten what sport is supposed to feel like?

How many times have you watched the McT goal now? I just can’t stop. Love these moments.

No, not Lisbon..Lisburn!
Bruno could be the new Cantona in that he will be a catalyst for the team and spur us to greater things.
One sure thing, when you look at the celebrations on the bench, he loves being here.

Outstanding result!

What a great team performance.

This team is starting to look like something special.

Hopefully we can keep the momentum going for the rest of the season.

I had the same problem, and what a great problem to have. Half the squad were MOTM. That’s the way to build a winning team.

I don't think with a squad like their's they will ever be finished. They are having a poor season compared to their last 2 recordbreaking ones. Whether they have Pep at helm, they have a great squad, filthy rich owners and can attract nearly any manager.

Thank you. I know, at the end of the day it is there to be enjoyed, and if you can't enjoy results and experiences like these, then what's the point in even being a fan of the sport? If you can't enjoy things because things might turn out bad in the future then you can't enjoy anything!

I had a really, really nice dinner yesterday, but I didn't get carried away because I've had bad meals before, and might have a bland lasagna in a couple of weeks.

It's crazy to think that less that a couple of years ago people on here were panicking this City team would dominate the league for a generation. Really puts into context how amazing Fergie was at keeping that drive for continued success going

Of course, they will be good (and still are) they are just not that good anymore. Aguero, Silva, Fernandinho, their back four might have seen their best days. And their recruitment hasn't been good lately.
