Mourinho will go all out for the CL now too so you can guarantee he'll rest players for the Liverpool game.

It's now a 2-way title race.

Come on City! Yuck.

I guesss this is where Arsenal is different to Man United.
in a title race between Spurs and Chelsea we would want Chelsea to win every time.
yet for some reason you dont mind being the 2nd team in your city. I don't get that logic.
maybe if City win title after title for the next decade you might change your view.

Was told this morning that Sky are getting twitchy as they would hate to see Liverpool win the league. :D

Maybe Derek believes that City are a flash in the pan and will go away when the money men pull out, where as the hatred of Liverpool is so long term he cannot contemplate them winning it.

This is painful watching. de Gea could have brought his pipe and slippers. Guardiola's overwhelming smugness and arrogance isn't exactly justified when they are struggling against a team as comparatively poor as United. Just seems like no urgency, no game plan other than endless sideways passing before giving the ball to Robben who invariably cuts in and shoots. Into a defender. Or the stands.

The most worrying thing is despite managing to get plenty of numbers back and looking extremely comfortable considering, United are not struggling as much as you'd expect in possession and Bayern look petrified at the back. That was a superb piece of judgement there from Lahm as if he had committed to the header and lost Rooney was through. Mandzukic is just not good enough up top and despite their possession when it comes to creating stuff they strangely look like a team who have barely played together.

Texted my mate literally 30 seconds before that goal saying I can see United nicking this. 1-0, cracking finish from Evra. Christ, 1-1. Bayern have been all over the shop at the back though and can't afford to concede again. Game on but only through Bayern's arrogance and failure to learn their lessons when approaching this sort of game.

Biggest game of the weekend as far as I'm concerned, and I will be more upset by a Pool win than an Arse defeat.

I detest Liverpool with a passion but one thing I will give them credit for is the stance they took over Suarez. They refused to sell and were prepared to make him suffer in the reserves until he saw sense....despite no CL football on offer

Makes a total mockery of our stance with Cole, Fabregas, Nasri and Van Persie, where apparently we had no choice to let them go.

If Suarez had been our player we'd have rolled over and sold....and if anyone talks about having players in the last year of their contract, then what about Fabregas who had years left to expire and was sold at half his market value. Pathetic, unambitious board and management structure
