    Has to be said, that was pretty much the perfect weekend for the blue side of Manchester.

    Must admit that today's result bought a smile to my face. ABU and proud of it.

    I think Conte is a genius. He's quietly going to slip down to a Europa league position because has has half a chance at winning that particular competition.

    Re.: Arsenal Man U game: Arsenal 33 shots on goal, Man U 8. So De Gea was the difference.

    Are you trying to imply that he is following Wenger's lead on the Europa plan? :)

    Mourinho is passed his peak.
    RM knocked the stuffing out of his inner ego.
    No more will it be 'he's never gone more than 3 seasons to win a league'.
    ...and gawd 'elp the other 19 teams if Pep re-enforces his current squad next summer but the real challenge will be to be as good as Barca or Real. I mean, City are currently head and shoulders above anyone else in the PL but to win the CL is a different ball game. They only look that good 'cos the others are pants.

    True, they are helped by nearly everyone else have a not so good season.

    And also you're right, it takes a bit more class to win the CL :wink:

    I think that City may be quite good at footballering. Don't seem as big a bunch of arses as Manure either.

    Paddy Power already have. They paid out on City before the Manc Derby :shock:
    (A PR stunt, more than anything, I suspect.)

    Still a long way to go and anything can happen between now and May but looking good so far 8)

    Let's hope Leicester can do the business later :mrgreen:

    I agree. It cost them somewhere in the region of £500k apparently.
    But that's probably quite cheap for the level exposure and press it got them, I imagine.

    Mourinho is going to become another Wenger - a whole load of success and then years of very little, maybe a league or FA cup. How ironic given his sentiments towards Wenger.

    Aren't Chelsea shite? At least the Arsenal scouse game was exciting.
