Even if we win the league this season, this result will never be forgotton.
Like I have said, it's not about trophies. This is on a different level

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Its right up there for me too. But To be honest I was far sadder being knocked out of Europe in various seasons or losing out on titles in general
Most likely because I am not local. And I imagine it hit people from Manchester harder than anyone.
Im with T V all the way. I DOESNT GET worse than tis when talking about football......it feels like someones beaten the feck out of me. I did not want to get out of bed this morning nevermind leave the house.
fecking Lille and Benfica!
fecking Lille and Benfica!
What is it with October? A month of freak losses.
2-6 vs Wolves in 1952/53
2-5 vs Everton in 1956/57
1-5 to Arsenal in 1961/62
2-6 vs Spurs in 1962/63
1-5 vs Spurs in 1965/66
0-5 vs Everton in 1984/85
0-5 vs Newcastle in 1996/97
3-6 vs Southampton 1996/97
0-5 vs Chelsea in 1999/00
1-6 vs City
Saying the Lille and Benfica defeats were harder to take than yesterday is probably the most mental thing I've ever read on here.
Its more insane than the shit I usually post and that is saying something!
It wasnt just that. It was being knocked out in the groups of the CL and being well behind Chelsea domestically.
being used to success has me spoilt I will admit. But that is the lowest time as a Utd supporter in my adult life. Probably ever because I was only 10 in 1990
Yesterday was beyond horrible, but I look at the bigger picture. If this does begin a period of dominance by City than I will look back at yesterday and think it was one of the worst days.
But it is October and if we end up winning the league this season I will get over it
No this was much worse - against Liverpool we were madly unlucky for the majority of the game. For 30 mins in the 2nd half we completely outplayed them and should have scored 3-4 times before they got the 1-3 goal
They did try to fight, but we were never going to beat City whilst chasing the game with ten men and one down.
Would it have been better to shut up shop and accept a 2-0 loss? Would that be fighting?
We fought alright, almost to the point where it was ridiculous to do so, as it was leaving us so exposed.
This is true, especially the last part. Fergie mentioned how the full backs were bombing forwards right to the end trying to get a goal and it cost us, at 4-1 we should have kind of accepted it.
When Fletcher scored I really believed we could pull it back to 3-3, there was ten minutes plus stoppage time left.
Absolutely.
Whatever we might win or do in the future is totally immaterial in relation to the significance of yesterday. I feel like I'm in some kind of parallel universe when I come here and see people talking about 'only 3 points', 'good wake-up call', and this, that & the other.
1 bleeding 6 in the derby, at home.
Nothing can ever make that hurt less, and nothing can erase it from history.
'Good wake up call' is the best way to see it though, and I'm sure that's how the players will deal with it.
I think it's what this side needed, frankly. I can't wait for the reaction from the players.
That's how I feel too.
I'm not even angry or sad, I'm still completely numb. I feel literally gutted.
Saturday will be interesting, I'm kind of dreading it at the minute to be honest.
How can you say it's what this side needed?
Getting raped by city at home 6-1 is NOT what we needed.
It's like going through the motions with your missus, the sex is ok but nothing special. You both know you need to spice it up so you start thinking of ideas, but you walk in on her getting gang banged by 11 other men.

Probably by buying another bently and asking for a fecking new contract. Useless feckers.
It was just humiliation.
I simply can't take the result seriously; I can't take City seriously. The new Manchester City are the epitome of virtually all the things I dislike about the modern game - not just the crazy spending sprees but even relatively minor things like players openly disrespecting and undermining their manager.
Not far off the truth there Sparky.
Rooney was out celebrating his birthday last night with CITY players ffs!

What would you have done, crack out the old 'You're not coming to my party anymore' line from playschool?
It's the right way to react for Sir Alex and the players, absolutely.
And I'm not slating those on here who're able to take such a rational approach, far from it. I'm just stunned and amazed that they're capable. I'm just a total wreck -- I feel like a burned & pillaged village.
When will you be drinking your own urine?
You're right, they are everything that is wrong with football today.
He's way off - and pathetic too.
It will never be forgotten but will become largely irrelevant if we win the league.
That is the aim of the game at the start of every season after all.
Please tell me those mushrooms I picked on saturday were the wrong uns and that yesterday was just a bad trip
We must beat the shit out of them at their place and win the title to somehow make this defeat more acceptable.
Thats where we differ, I think anything achieved this season will be tainted for me personally and it will take a long time to get over yesterday. We are about the same age, but this is the worst Utd have made me feel since I started supporting them in 87,
Oh no no no, PLEASE tell me you are winding me up...surely not even the potato headed dimwit would be THAT insensetive?
If United had won, would it have been ok?
Some embarrassing people support this club.
people actually angry with Rooney?If this game was before xmas would you want him to cancel xmas?!
Get grip its the guys fecking birthday!!!
Really, we can't go on being outraged when our players lose and yet carry on with Twitter & their personal lives when they should be wearing hairshirts, whipping themselves and running 4million laps of the pitch as punishment. It's a bit crap if we become as reactionary as the press: for example, few give a damn if players have a beer to relax before a World Cup game; but if they lose...God help them - apparently then they're shameless, unpatriotic yobs who're a disgrace to their £75-plus-VAT shirts. Let's leave the idiotic moralising to the immoral media, eh?
Thats fecking irrelevant, WE DIDNT, we have just suffered our most embarressing result in generations, a result that has left all right minded reds fecking shellshocked, the worst in SAFs entire reign, a battering by our worst enemies on our own turf and he goes out celebrating with the enemy? Not to mention we have a match on tuesday if Im not mistaken?
The ones who are totally gutted about the result or the ones who are pissed that some are not as gutted as they are?
Aye, that be the one.
Don't really care about Rooney's birthday thing, he's likely friends with Hart and Barry via England and you can't forbid friendships between players from rival clubs.
I am quite glad Rio hasn't been on twitter though, I do like to see some indication that the players are bothered about the results and feeling the same embarrassment we are, so I'm glad we haven't had to put up with any inane chat from him since the match.

So we're embarrassing because we're gutted?
Guess you don't know many blues then?

I could not care less how anyone else is taking it, I dont understand how they arent gutted, but I dont care.
Yeh but asking him to cancel his birthday!! How random.
