Like what? Resting a 37 year old when it's clear he can't play 3 games in one week? Playing his best side against Everton? They are the games that have cost us but neither was down to SAF's selections.

Of course, but we can't pin our failure to win the championship on not having Vidic when we managed to get our nose in front without him. Besides, the season would have panned out differently if Vidic never got injured, we might have slipped miles off the pace, we might have steamrollered to the...

We had ample opportunity without Vidic, we blew it. Simple as that. Aside from City's February-early April dip, they've scored the most, played the best football, and been nigh-on flawless at home(the bedrock of any championship winning season), not to mention inflicting a convincing double...

I agree. The whinging about their money and refusal to acknowledge their growth as a team and club over recent times is embarrasing, we are MUFC and we should lose with class and dignity just as we win with them. City have benefited from the investment, but money doesn't buy you...

They are better than us in terms of ability and caliber of players man for man, what has helped us stay so close and what I thought would see us home was our experience and winning mentality(which sadly went walkabout v Everton which fecked our season over). We fecked up when they were on the...

All this whining about the money they spent comes across as, well, bitter, just like they are. Rise above it FFS, no doubt they've been able to get better quality footballers since the takeover but it's not the be all and end all, just ask many Real Madrid teams and coaches over the last 10...

To be fair, that's just bollocks. I hate their artificial wealth as much as anybody, but no title is easily won or "bought", no matter the size of your transfer budget, wage bill, or quality of your players. Just ask numerous Real Madrid teams and managers since 2000. If City win the...

Not at all, especially if it involves him playing centrally...Would send out all the wrong signals aswell, we need to show some intent and get on the front foot as much as we can.

I've never had a title race affect my mood and week's in general as much as this one, firstly because it's them, but more importantly because we got ourselves into such a great position and have managed to fritter it away and give them the mother of all opportunities to get one over us on in...

Hate to say it, but this has all the hallmarks of a bad night...City with the momentum, us frittering away 8 point lead in 2 weeks, City fans and players bang up for it with a big atmosphere at COMS, and that little gobshite Tevez with a point to prove by scoring the decisive goal of the...

Easier said than done, they are a stubborn side at the best of times but they'll be determined to make amends for the semi, and you can bet Moyes will have Scholes man-marked like he did with Silva when they played City this season. Crucial, crucial game this, anything less than a win hands the...

Didn't Guardiola come out with something like this when Madrid went 10 clear, only for it to galvanise his squad and Madrid to start dropping points? Maybe Mancini is looking for the same effect.

Anyone can lose a football match, only mentally weak sides can let a 10 point cushion go with an easier set of fixtures, that's exactly what Spurs have done and are still doing. Bottling it is a very apt description of their meltdown in recent weeks.

Nothing to do with it IMO, just coincides with the season reaching the business end and Spurs being found wanting when the wannabes get sorted from the real men.

Who were these people? I think the only person who thought it was even a long shot was Redknapp, which Sky obviously latched onto to hype up a 2 horse race into a 3 way scrap.
