Out - Champions League, mainly thanks to Basle.
Out - League Cup, thanks to Crystal Palace.
Not - top of the league at new year thanks to a 2-3, bottom of the league Blackburn win (on
Fergies 70th birthday). Oh dear!
City go 5 points clear at the top of the table, happy days

A link to keep you interested before kick off: Reasons to hate Man Utd.
See this BBC link to confirm Man Utd needed the help of a dodgy penalty to secure the
Premiership title. Who was the ref??? Phil Dowd, hmmmmmm. Blackburn keeper clearly acting as a
spring board for a gymnastics routine for a player heading away from the goal.
Despite one team's fans journey to Wembley being hampered by the M1 closure Man City beat Man
Utd 1-0 to end the talk of a treble even with 5min of "injury time". And what was Ferdinand upto at
the end of the match?
Losing to Chelsea and then Liverpool tut tut, this won't do
Thank you! 2-1 win for the record. o)
I write this part way through the match! All the talk before the match (refreshingly) is about
the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as Liverpool Manager and not about the Mancs. Howard Webb soon
puts an end to that and gives Man Utd a penalty after Berbatov dives in the box in the first
minute. Later in the first half he lets a 2 footed challenge by a Man Utd player go, only to send
off Gerrard for a similar challenge moments later.
4-0 win over Man Utd in the Carling Cup and a dodgy decission of a disallowed goal against West
Ham could not help the Mancs!
Disgraceful is not strong enough! Nani dives in the box looking for a penalty, should have been
booked for diving, then makes a deliberate handball, another booking and sending off??? The Spurs
goalie puts the ball down for a free kick and Nani kicks it into the net and a goal is awarded.
Only at Old Trafford, what a joke.
0-0 will do nicely, could have been better with an away win, but Rangers played for a point and
got 1.
From 1-3 down to 3-3 :) Everton v Man Utd.
David Moyes was still incensed at the end of the game when the ref (Martin Atkinson) blew the
final whistle just before an Everton shot on goal. The shot did not go in but imagine the
controversy if it had!
If Man Utd were top of the table after 2 games with a goal difference of +12 and the other "big
four" teams dropping points, we're sure everyone of those irratating manc would be claiming the
title was already won and record goals in a season on the cards and win every match in the season
etc. However Chelsea hold this position helped by Man Utd drawing with Fulham .
Thanks to an eight - nil thumping of Wigan on the final day of the season.
Nice try....
On a sunny afternoon in England (for you supporters of Man Utd in far flung places that is the
Country where Manchester is), we at hatemanutd did not watch the match, preferring the sunshine.
Interestingly, a 3-1 win for Man Utd v Spurs was sealed with 2 penalties. Was this fair, no
cheating??? At a key stage of the season when Spurs have recently beat Arsenal and Chelsea.
