First of all, Setanta chose to begin their Canadian feed at kick-off, so we didn't see the moment of silence. Which, in hindsight, would have been the highlight. And how f**king sad is that that the silence would have been the highlight?
Second, Cristiano Ronaldo is not a big-game player. There, I said it.
Third, Rio sucked, Wes sucked, Scholes sucked, they all sucked. Sucked, sucked, FUCKING SUCKED.
We can kiss the Premiership goodbye.
Sunderland played 93 more minutes of passionate football yesterday than we managed today.

Ronaldo isn't a big game player? Based on today neither is Rio Ferdinand then and a bunch of others who've been in the premiership for longer. At least Ronaldo tried in the first half, even if he did give up. The Rest of them gave up before they even started.

For fuck's sake, they were all terrible. That was my POINT.

No I was wondering if you were basing today's match on Ronaldo not being a big match player, which is seemed like you did. You didn't say he was just terrible today, nor did you say that the others weren't big match players. That's what I had a problem with because in my opinion Ronaldo tried in the first half, he made runs and he tried getting the ball up there. He faded to the level of the rest of them pretty quickly, but he tried at the beginning, hence why I think it's unfair to say what you did about him when the likes of Scholes and Rio looked like they did as well. I know Ronaldo has got a tag amongst some fans as not playing well in the big matches, maybe he's had bad timing for us because he's always turned up for Portugal did extremely well in the the big matches for them. I do think that he needs to work harder at some things, but does not deserved to be singled out on that specific account today, because he was not the worst one out there, and there were people with more experience and football knowledge who had worse performances. i was questioning your comments, I have no interest in having a "bitch fight" with you. I didn't make a personal attack on you, I was QUESTIONING what you said, as I have done with two other people as well.

The derby defeat always hurts , but what hurts more was we couldn't give The Bubsy Babes a fitting tribute.
Pathetic performance today , the mid field was drab , while the defence was really really poor. Nothing clicked for us. I've always said Rooney is main man not Ronaldo.
Dunno why Welbeck wasn't on the bench. He surely would have caused some problems. We tried to play everything to the center despite having three wingers on the pitch. When Rooney doesn't play neither Giggs nor Rondo knows what they're doing , whose playing through the middles and whose playing wide.
Credit to Citeh bastards those , they respected the minutes silence , they played well , Petrov's pace was constantly troubling Brown. Rio was pathetic , very very ordinary.
As usual we make things difficult for our selves. Hopefully Rovers get some points off Arsenal. After this two blips , i think we'll go on a long till the end of the season. We live to fight another day.

That fucking hurt, watching that was just a horrible experience, the one occasion when you really want the lads to go out there and express themselves and make the club proud and they put in a performance like that, I felt physically sick at times watching that, they had all the motivation in the world to go out there and perform and it wasn't just the lack of quality it was the lack of effort and desire, City just looked like they wanted it more where as we seemed to think we had some devine right to win because of the occasion.
Not only did it sour the day of remembering the babes but it put a serious dent in our title aspirations, fuck I already hate february and theres still 3 fuckin weeks of it left, hopefully it gets better from here.

I think the players Balls wer all surgically removed before the match!! Certainly looked like it, fuck thats why i prefer local lads in this kind of situation, they know what it means to us! The Citeh lads just looked like they would run through a brick wall to win that match today, all of them trying to prove a point... Then we get a bunch of primadonas who can't take fucking throw-in properly!

I'm not going to blame Ronaldo, he was being played out of position. It's not his fault we've taken a massive gamble on only having 2 forwards in the squad. One injury, or suspension like today, and the whole shape of the team has to change because we have no cover. I don't give a fuck if it works for Portugal, it doesn't work playing for us. Rooney has been missing in all of our defeats this season. Co-incidence? No. I've seen City play a few times and they are strong at Centre half. Their full backs are awful. But because Rooney is out one of the best wingers in Europe has to play behind Tevez and has no impact on the game.

Losing a footy match isn't the worst thing in the world, we've lost before, and it happens. How you react is what is important. And both ways, life does really go on. So no need to sulk and batter ourselves by this result. So as bad as we feel right now, doesn't even get close to what our supporters, and others felt 50 years ago. That was a real tragedy, this isn't We'll come back Stronger and better. And no matter what happens, we very much still are in this title race. We'll Never Die. That's besides the point though, today wasn't about winning or losing the league it was about paying tribute, and our boys didn't do that at all. No it's not the end of the world, but it's a fucking joke how some players treated today's match, a fucking disgrace. I agree about that. I was saying that with all the Munich coverage we've all seen this past week just showed how unimportant football is. The human cost of Munich was far, far more important than any result of any football match. Also, of course I'm gutted we didn't give a performance that showcased the values of our club since that tragedy occurred ! Who isn't ?!

Wow, we were really shit. I mean, REALLY shit. If our players can't show up on the day we're remembering the Babes, when will they show up? It's not even the result, it's the performance. They were fucking spineless and based on today's showing, none of them deserved to wear our shirt. I feel utterly humiliated by them today. City didn't even play well. To get beaten by City at home when they're not even playing well is inexcusable. I'm fucking livid. I will calm down, sooner rather than later I hope, but I am so fucking pissed off with them. And Rooney. Rooney shouldn't miss out on getting slated. His fucking dive that cost him a game today. Ronaldo is not a big game player - that is not based just on today, but today was extra evidence, along with every other big game we've played since 4-2 at Highbury, that he's a bottler. Rio Ferdinand was fucking HORRENDOUS today, oh my days. Did he find a player in red with any of his passes today? Fuck me. Anderson and Wes are about the only players who can hold their head up today. Every one else was wank. Oh well, on a brighter note, we've got Arsenal in the Cup next weekend

Well Miss United, I really think that it's those things that is really affecting the team on the pitch. Few years ago, we lost the league and Ferfie blamed on the tour to the Far East. But this time, when we are really on our peak, suddenly the team went for a few days to Saudi Arabia. Maybe I am wrong, and maybe you are right, but i just think it is affecting the players concentration. It gives them the idea that they can relax.
And then about this week's issue, well, I dont know how to say it, but in simple words, it's the mentality problem. The player's mentality now and few weeks ago really looks different to me. They dont seem to have the concentration and desire to win. I think it's because this whole commemoration thing is blown out. It's ok to commemorate, but if the Citeh didnt want to silent, so let them. And just tell our players to pay the Citeh back by winning the game, and not by asking Citeh to shut up again and again. It makes the 'silence' thing look bigger than winning the game. And that's what happened.
So my opinion is, SAF, with all due respect, lost the concentration, hence the players.
