Whats your point, mine was that neither side went for the win for fear of losing, yours is?

My point - shared by most of the newspapers and the comments from players from both sides -

is that it was that it was Utd who were looked to be pushing for the win in the second half,

with City much the happier to take a point. I'm certainly not saying Utd went gung ho for it

as Berbatov would have stayed on the pitch when Hernandez came on.


I think Utd were there for the taking, shame not to see City go for jugular.

Either way it was a crap match and I'm more inclined to agree with Emerson on this one but you're right they were there for the taking.

Given Man U have been decidedly average this season for the most part and are still in the race only improves their chances I think. I don't think they can get any worse. If they hit form the others will have to too. I have a suspicion that Chelsea may have just gone over the hill though Man U may not have quite enough to be worthy champions either. Pretty average all around really.

No, but nor do I post sectarian poison on here either. While my predictions may be amusing to some, your sectarian rubbish isn't.

I was at White Hart Lane on Saturday and once again Gareth Bale immense. We played some great football and could have won it seven-nil but then we let in two stupid goals at the end.

Watched Sunderland batter Chelsea yesterday and they thoroughly deserved their win. Makes the Spurs result last Tuesday look quite respectable now.

Tell me about it, Danny was superb, but then again the whole Sunderland team were superb, performance of the season so far.

I don't think Hernandez is a starting player at the mo, that's twice I've seen him start a match and not have much impact. Although he's not much helped by the return of Berbatov'z flailing hands in the air histrionics. The stage is set for the Rooster to save the day and all will be forgiven.

Looks like the League is up for grabs again this season, I think the 'top' teams are weaker, but credit has to go for the so called lesser teams, on their day they are more than capable of giving them a bloody nose.

This season has been refreshing with the so called lesser lights putting in some great performances. Lets hope it goes all the way to the 38th game of the season, rather rather fizzle out after 30 or 32 games. I've watched Sunderland live a few times this season, and to be honest yesterdays result was not a huge shock, they've played well enough to suggest they can turn over a team in that manner.

      At least it is on the bus route - I do not use the car if I am dining out in ED as parking is so bad.  Cannot wait to see what is on the menu.

      Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!

      How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
