Everton - Scum 0-1, goal in the first minute, Everton played well, deserved a goal.
Swansea - Scum 0-1, goal in the first minute, only one huge opportunity for the welsh.
Villa - Scum 0-1, goal in the first 15 minutes. Game over since then.
QPR - Scum 0-2, goal in the first minute, Game over since the teams were announced.
Fulham - Scum 0-5, goal in the 6th minute, not even one real opportunity for the team from London.

City with Everton, QPR and Fulham. Three of the most hard games we had this year, we could had lost at Fulham, draw with QPR and Everton. Best performances from those teams with us, but patethic with you know who.

Imho, this will go untill the end of the season and we must put our faith in only us to win the league, because there won't be any favours from teams above the six place in the table. They will spit fire with us and sit back with them. We are in for two hell of games in Wba and Sunderland.

We win every game we win the league. Who thinks we can't win every game?

The Rags' opponents need to look at themselves. Spineless tossers.

Very undignified of the Fulham players to line up before the game on their knees.

Isn't that what Pullis had Stoke do for us tonight?

There maybe a psychological edge that un*t*d have, but is it a surprise with 19 titles and reigning champions? They also played teams at the right time, Arsenal were a shambles & had been easily beaten by Newcastle when they thumped them, when they turned up at our place it was off the back a long run of unbeaten games. The test of the theory will be over the full season & the pressure helps focus minds at our end - we have the title in our hands even if the rest roll over for them we should be focussing on what we need to do not what's happening to them - stop the obsession / theories & celebrate how well we are doing.

Spot on, i said it in the match thread, Stoke rolled over for us tonight big style, and when they played the rags should of won but still got a point. I know there different home and away but its still worth noting. Fulham should of done better tonight but we cant complain we got 3 points in wrapping paper with a bow on it off Pulis.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The point is that this has happened regularly in United games, not just this season but for years. Certain mid-table and more lowly teams have put out markedly weaker sides when playing United because they want to save their best players and their energy for matches against their peers. Well, that's fine, but when you are giving up some games before you begin you are skewing the the whole point of a league competition, in effect making it an uneven playing field. Last night was a rarity for us.

Indeed.

The difference is; most City fans I've spoken to have said immediately that Stoke just rolled over for us last night.

When we say the same about teams doing it at OT, people are queuing up to say we're talking bollocks.
