2 victories in the last 9 games

Some time ago Sir Alec Ferguson said the Community Shield is a just used as a barometer of fitness and is not a do or die thing. The result is therefore of no significance as goals are not a measure of fitness. However, on this occasion,It could be that United's desperation not to suffer a third successive Wembley defeat has resulted in them peaking too soon.

In all the time I have followed United (nearly 40 years) I can't ever remember wanting to win a community shield as much as this one, except maybe against Liverpool in 1990. Fergie himself was much more up for this one. It was an important game and an important result for both clubs however you want to dress it up. As for United peaking, they leave that to the run in and are masters at it. City fluked a semi win against 10 man United with a defensive error so don't get carried away. City were a long way behind United today and you would have to be blind not to see it.

and they call us bitter, did Barca fluke the CL final as well

No, Barca are a genuine class act and they battered us.

I see, so you started the semi against City with 10 men, dominated for 90 minutes and our only attempt on goal was a defensive mistake that handed the game to us on a plate.

I will be in touch with Guide Dogs for the Blind in the morning to see if they have a spare labrador.

"I see, so you started the semi against City with 10 men, dominated for 90 minutes and our only attempt on goal was a defensive mistake that handed the game to us on a plate. "

Bearing in mind that 5 out of our last 6 winnners against City have been in the last couple of minutes of the game, being down to 10 men even for the very last part of the game was crucial. That said, it was a disgusting foul and he deserved to be sent off. But it could well have affected the result.

I hate Man united fans. 99% of them are from London and they have no loyalty. If Man Utd had experienced what my team had been through during the last ten years most of their fans would now be Chelsea fans.

Good luck City, I genuinely hope you win the league, because the people of Manchester deserve a title win, not just the cockney club that have the prefix Manchester in their name

Really? At least the 99% fans from London turns up at match day. Something your supporters should try for a change.

As for loyalty. Your fans can't even fill a wormhole.

Grumpy
Does the name isle of man red92 not send out little clues to your minuscule brain that perhaps he might not be a city fan?
