Losing the title to City would hurt Fergie more than being knocked out of the Champions League

FAILIING to make the knockout stages of the Champions League was bad enough for Manchester United.
But, believe me, losing out on the Premier League title to Manchester City would hurt manager Alex Ferguson a lot more.
When he arrived at Old Trafford 25 years ago, he spoke of wanting to knock Liverpool off their perch.
United did that and they don't want to be toppled themselves — least of all by City.
If you ask me, though, United are favourites to win the title.
For me, they have the best squad in the country.
They are coping better with the players they are missing and I don't have any sympathy for City with Yaya and Kolo Toure being away at the African Nations Cup.
We keep being told football is a business but what other company would bring in an employee who could be absent for six weeks?
It's a vital time of the season and they have suffered.
Another positive for United is that they have the knowhow to win leagues. United's players know you do not always have to play brilliantly, you just have to be clever.
But I look at City's squad and there are only three players who have won league titles — Gael Clichy, Carlos Tevez and Owen Hargreaves.
Tevez and Hargreaves did it with United but are unlikely to figure so there is a real dearth of experience there for City — and I think it's showing.
A few weeks ago City were up at Sunderland and could have been 5-0 or 6-0 up, they were outstanding, but didn't show that killer instinct. What was worse was they didn't take a draw.
You can't win every game, but they went gung-ho and conceded a goal in injury time.
Then, during the week they lost at Everton and Roberto Mancini said he'd underestimated them.
It's the biggest mistake you can make in any sport... and to then admit it? Very strange.
I was surprised because I've been really impressed with Mancini as City manager.
Even if you think that, you have to keep it to yourself. You can say 'we had an off night', or whatever else but don't say that!
The real experienced managers, you might know what they're feeling but they keep it to themselves because they don't want to be telling everyone they made a blunder.
You have to look at the players too because if they think 'the manager is not at it today', then they have to feel it. Anyone who knows anything about football would tell you that Everton on a Tuesday or Wednesday is going to be a hard night.
I'm sure with all the experience they have, his staff of Brian Kidd and David Platt must have told them what it would be like at Goodison. Hopefully he is taking their thoughts on board.
United know what it's all about and that's why they're up there.
I know there's talk of there not being enough investment but that's not the case.
They brought in David de Gea, Phil Jones and Ashley Young in the summer. These lads didn't come for peanuts, you're talking £17million or £18m each.
Then you have the likes of Dimitar Berbatov who cost £30m and Wayne Rooney who cost £20m. Plenty of money.
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"
