Alert: Premier League: Man City v Manchester United - Dec 9 [R]

Hope he holds onto the kid better than he does a football.

Upfront?

Lovely cross field pass from Evans to Valencia in the first half.

Hanson on MOTD pointed out something I didn't realise about RVP. His defensive work in clearing corners. I think they showed him clearing 5 corners this match. I wonder if this has been a constant in other games.

Yes. He's done it quite a few times in the past.

The problem however is we've been using a combination of zonal and man marking on corners. Usually RvP or Danny on some occasions stand in a zone towards the near post to cut off anything under hit or aimed near postish. It works well until someone gets a run on a CB or uses multiple players as screens and gets free. I almost feel like in those cases it would make sense to authorize the player on the far post to challenge for anything that is clearly headed far post or if we should risk 2 players marking zones at the near/far posts.

Also, if anyone has a link to MOTD from today, pls share. I've checked kat, tpb and iso already. Nada.

It happens, but less frequently than you might imagine. Most times guys might not go out of their way to hang out, but there is a professional respect and courtesy extended. And at social events or semi-working events they'd rather sit next to or have a chat with someone in their line of work than not.

Same for me please on MOTD

You are a godsend. Much obliged.

Yes, yes, yes....

c0rrect

That's beautiful.

GOONAGE

I would one day love to be at an away match with United fans. That tribalism and energy, while I'm sure is looked down upon, seems awesome.

We need a proper chant for van Persie, sharpish.

And not
"Dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna Rob-in! Rob-in!" either.

I love the Seven Nation Army chant.

OHHHHHHH ROBBBINN VAN PERSIIEEEEE

was going for about 5 mins in the local today after that went it...

Now this is goonage ....from Red Square right near OT ( You made need to login with FB)

The calm right before it goes in

The delusion of the bitters is priceless...

Mancini says "We played, they won" in reference to a comment he made about not deserving to lose and that he thought his side were better. He and others interviewed talk about "deserving to win" after a match in which Evra might have won a pen and we had a 3rd goal disallowed immediately before they got their 1st.

Who is still taunting their Arsenal supporting friends over RVP,

All the time.
