And no sane fans would blame you.
Just like when your legend did that pass, I got angry at him, but didn't blame him or his fans being happy about it.
Do we want to lose to City?

He didn't. There's articles and even pictures of it.
And yes, because he's a massive cnut!
If anything that just shows you his disdain for liverpool.
I was talking to my mate who is also a beloved United fan. He feels the same way as me, we both rather have City win it than Liverpool winning the title. Even if City wins it, no one will remember they won it by the off-season. Maybe for the people who live in Manchester might.
But if Liverpool wins it, there will be countless videos, homages, documentaries and fans across the globe (more supporters than City fans) being big headed all throughout the break.
Most of our other friends are all Liverpool fans, Australia seems to have a big base of Liverpool fans, I can just imagine them being annoying as hell all off season on social media.

Nope. If I could embed pictures I would but I'm sure someone will reply with the picture of said banner which you've just claimed was made up without actually checking first.
To be fair to Gerrard (ugh), he made the same backpass to Henry TWICE - once in an Arsenal v Liverpool, once in a France v England game. I don't think he meant to throw either game, he was simply a twat with little composure.
Also did it to Suarez in the 2014 World Cup
I'm anticipating a Bayeux Tapestry of Biblical bullshit.
See, I even forgot about that. His feck-ups are of epic proportions.Also did it to Suarez in the 2014 World Cup
We need to put in a brave and noble effort that was just outclassed by City, with Liverpool psychologically damaged by not winning the league enabling us to finish 2nd next season.
Ok I'm not a Utd fan but I've been watching with interest.
I literally cannot believe what I am reading, that some fans want to throw such an important match, which could cost you a top 4 place. Anyway.....I just wanted to give my assessment of things;
1. You have to realise, that your players on the pitch are no up to top 4 standard.....certainly not alongside City and Liverpool. No matter how much you rant at them at old trafford, or shout at your TV, those players are never, ever going to be able to play to that level.
Yes I understand the frustration that the team as a whole isn't able to perform as well as you would like, but no amount of complaining or ranting is going to change that. It's like me shouting at my 10 year old kid as to why he isnt scoring 40 goals per season!
2. The manager. I literally cannot believe there are threads on here asking for him to be sacked, or sacked at the EOS. You've brought someone in who is clearly under qualified...everyone can see that, but for gods sake you have to give the man a couple of transfer windows. The issue is that he has zero experience of the value transfers you need to make (in our out) so you need a director who can work alongside him on that.
3. Blame. When you signed Pogba nobody was complaining. When you signed Lakaku, Sanchez and Jose nobody was complaining. Now all of a sudden they were bad decisions and the Chief Exec should go? A lot of fans are looking with hindsight and expecting the board to have a time capsules.
4. Expectation. You've had it bloody good for a long time. Under SAF you've sometimes won leagues you shouldn't have. For example in his last season. You have to realise what is realistic and what isnt.
5. Ins & Out. You need at least 5 in. If you sell Pogba you need 6 in. If Sanchez goes as well thats 7. You need to get behind your best players. They have totally screwed you over, but your stuck with them, and you cant replace them with better players. Build a squad around them and they will start performing. To be fair you don't have a lot of choice.
6. The future, forget the past. Theres fans in their 30s and 40s who might not see Utd win another title. Thats the cycle of Football. Right now you are being run as a business, unless you get some Arab who comes in and runs you as a pastime, your unlikely to get the investment in players you need to be top 2.
Like I said Im not a Utd fan so couldnt give 2 hoots either way, but thats my 2 pence worth from the outside.

Team will try to beat city but will fall short. Draw at best, most likely a loss. What matters is that they give it their all. Fighting for the top 4 is the priority. Imagine players and coaches seeing pathetic fans post like some are on this forum hoping city wins. Cowardly behavior.
I guess I'm one of the very few that want us to win the game and actually try to get into top 4? Feck everyone else and my god, some people sound like they'll top themselves if liverpool win the title. Get a grip, you're grown ass men.
It wasnt just that pass. I recall the game vividly : they were simply not interested in moving forward, and simply passed it around the back with no sense of urgency.
Bit like watching United under LVG !
Not saying Liverpool "threw the game" against Chelsea in 2010, but they certainly lay down from the kick off....
I was in a pub in Liverpool the Sunday night after we lost the League to Leeds in 1992 (season before the Premier League began).
Whole pub was singing "we are Leeds". I tend not to forget these things.
It is my strong belief that if Fergie was managing us in this situation he would happily lose the match tonight. Hope he's had a word with Olé 
- We lose and Liverpool win the league = awful
- We lose and City win the league = decent given the current situation
- We win and it's not enough to get us the top four, City win the league = unlikely and bad for the heart
- We win and it's not enough to get us the top four, Liverpool win the league = worst case
- We win and We get top four, Liverpool win the league = bad
- We win and We get top four, City win the league = bad for my heart
- We lose and get too 4 and City win the league = best case
I'm expecting them to take The Last Supper picture and Photoshop Klopp as Jesus and their first XI + Slippy as the 12 disciples.
IT WILL BE FECKING AWFUL
(And the media will pile on too.... gushing everywhere, possibly literally. Ugh)
If City wins tonight, Pool are fecked.
I keep hearing this all season but Liverpool just get on with it and keep winning their games. I'm expecting them to win all their remaining games.
Ian Rush, Sammy Lee, Herpes, Dog-Leash, the list would go on and on and on...
There would be a documentary "Season 2018-2019 : How the League was won"
I'm a United fan. I've always just backed my team. Our fate is in our hands as such. If LFC wins the league, then they've deserved it over 38 games, not because of the Manchester derby result. Meanwhile United need a result (at least a draw) to have any realistic chance of getting UCL footy which we might need if we're to replace the dross we have in our squad, what with Ole not being a big name manager. So I'll be backing my team tonight as I always do. I can't predict what happens after tonight. I should note though that I don't have much confidence that we will be able to get a result but who knows, it's the type of match that could see us perform how we should.
When it's all said and done, my love for United supersedes my hate for for Liverpool.

OGS is a unique position that in theory he could field fringe players/kids and get beaten and have the excuse “ my best players were a disgrace sunday and didn’t deserve a shot at City at OT, the kids have worked hard and here’s there chance”.
Much better than, we lost to city because we’re shit but we hate the scousers more.
My heart wants united to win tonight abd feck Liverpool, they’re cnts but a better team that us this season so we should worry about top 4 as champions league football is more attractive than europa for new signings.
My head says, Liverpool winning the league thanks to us stopping city tonight is by far worse than anything we have witnessed from the scouers in our lifetime! It will be banners, documentaries, gerrard on the pitch, souness on TV. Open top busses, I just cant.....

It's not a question of if we want to lose but if City can't beat us then THEY don't deserve the League.
Has anyone ever felt like this before a United game? It's so surreal.
Support your team. Anything else is shameful.
1. We sit 2-3 points outside top 4 despite our dreadful first half, the London trio are not much ahead of us (if at all)
2. Probably not my choice but agreed Ole should be given some time
3. That’s not true, plenty have said that Lukaku was a bad choice and many complained about the Sanchez wage, more have said Jose was not suitable (I admit I was one of his biggesr advocates on here)
4. Our expectation is that the results reflect our status and spending as a club, how is that unrealistic?
5. Pogba seems to attract interest from clubs willing to pay, how are we stuck with them?
6. Given our income and purchasing power, it’s very unlikely that we’ll continue to get it wrong again and again. Of course there’s nothing is guaranteed in life, but it’s not unrealistic to think we have a better chance than anyone other than City in the long term.
Oh man. I mean, Liverpool might be handed the title tonight but let’s not cheer them on
That's just me cheering CSKA Moscow for later today.
I wanted City to beat us in the Moyes season as well to ensure Liverpool don't get the title.
Great answer.
Hits the nail on the head.
Hope we absolutely feckin smash the blueshite.
It’s irrelevant who we want to win because we are going to get beat anyway so don’t waste the mental energy.
Whoever wins the league deserves it, personally couldn't give a fcuk anymore so bored of hearing about City or Liverpool, all I am as*ed about tonight is United winning or at the very least leaving everything on the pitch, if City beat us, fair play, if we beat them and Liverpool win the league, fair play, were not winning it so may the best side win it.
I remember back in 95 we were in the same position, needing Liverpool to beat Blackburn, which happened and we could not do our job, so if we win tonight they still have to get over the line.
Anyway, get into them tonight, give it everything we have, we get beat we get beat but fcuk ever ever wanting to lose a derby!

Actually, they had a good chance early on and had some urgency in the opening 20 minutes or so.
Once they went 1-0 down, they indeed gave up and were content to just do some damage limitation.
If we lose it's a year of Europa League football and consolidation of our team.
If we win/draw then Liverpool might win their first PL title and join Blackburn and Leicester on 1.

So will City.
