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.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
