That was heroic defending by Soton. Rather impressed by their effort and commitment. City a bit too off today with their passing, but full credit to Soton.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
What is "wyd" from that tweet?
One more draw or loss city will finish the season with less than 80 points. That's a horrible season for them as a defending champions.
Linekar must enjoy having Richards there with him, the power he laughs at every shit joke Linekar comes-out with
That's how he's known in India.

They don't dominate because they pass it between their defenders so strictly, they dominate because they have the best squad in the league. Let me see them dominating it without the likes of De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Aguero, etc. Even when they lack just one of them they struggle.
Also, you can play similar style of football without insisting on playing it out from the back so much, I don't criticise their style of football in general, just insisting that they play out from the back all the time, it's just Pep's stubbornes that cost him so many times.
Let this be a lesson to Caftards to understand that it's not always easy to break down teams who sit deep and compact. Sometimes the caf think we're the only ones who struggle with breaking down big team when that's the case for everyone.
9 league defeats for Man City now, in comparison they only lost 6 games the previous 2 seasons. It also the first time they lost three consecutive away league games since April 2015.
Agreed. That's why I want us to go with our strongest team unless we literally can't
What is City's run in like? This could get interesting, feel we can get closer to them come end of season. Everyone looks of their game except for United.
Expecting a strong run with the confidence flowing through our squad. 3rd with Fa Cup and Europa will do nicely

On a plus point. They're safe now. 43 points with 5 games left. Villa have 27,Bournemouth have 27 and Norwich.. well the less said the better.
That win was the bonus 3 points they would never have expected and they don't need to defend like that. If anything Villa will be a tougher game
Nicely? That would be best season after Sir Alex left.... 3rd with Fa Cup and Europa will do nicely
what (are) you doing?
Praise be to Ole! Have faith good man, we are only going to get better from here.
I was really calm about this one. It was a freebie really. But wonder whether it was any good for the neutral (that is if Red Cafe can be called neutral)? I sort of think it shows the PL as it should be. David vs Goliath (sort of), where the little team sneaks one and then back to the walls. Or was it boring?
That Southampton team were hell to play against. They cleared everything and made City look ordinary. I don't think City were at their best and they definitely looked less clinical and sharp than usual. When you take Aguero out of the side, they do look less scary in attack. Huge player for them. They need to find a better long term replacement other than Jesus.
I enjoyed it, thought it was an interesting game. Fair play to the Southampton players who gave their all.
The "true champions" apparently. Yeah right. City weren't scoring in a month of Sundays, they look a force where they're comfortable at home because they've smashed a few teams (us included) in a non-event and pad their GD, but away from home teams aren't afraid to sit back and take the game to them anymore, hurry them and the mistakes kick in. If Hassenhuttl set up and played like what Bruce served up last week then City win that.
Hopefully next season when its between us and City for the league they throw away as many points and lose as many games as this season.
That effort from Southampton deserved a full stadium
City have lost twice since the restart and the commentators kept saying they looked like the strongest team since football returned, not sure about that. Their squad needs a bit of freshening up.
They haven't travelled well at all this season.
Uncomfortable seats?
Only scored the one goal, too. That will give Pep a lot of reason to go into the transfer market during the Summer break.
Yet they're still standout favorites for the next season. Oddsmakers don't realize that Liverpool's opposition will forever keep missing easy chances, and Liverpool will continue getting every possible scrappy win.
Oh yeah we're going to lose that, it is what it is. Not a chance we beat them 5 times in a year. Not even me not trying to jinx it... i just think its so so rare that it happens so I doubt it will.
City have lost more games than us this season now.
Know it's absolutely nothing to do with my team but do wonder why Liverpool are the only team who have decided to use goal music in these behind closed doors games.
They can't they've burned them all down from 'celebrating'.
It is easy. It because they are cnut's.
9 defeats is an awful season for City considering the standards Guardiola has set.
And we’ve less losses than them. Those pesky draws especially in 2019 really hurt us.
Were not, Southampton played 'Song 2' after their goal today and West Ham played the Beatles after their goals against Chelsea, and couple of other teams too that I can't remember.
Fair enough, in that case I need to pay more attention to the other teams
Nevermind you guys we've lost more than Arsenal!
= Draws are shit.Man City lost 9 games this season so far
Man Utd lost 8 games this season so far
De Bruyne lost the ball more times in 30 minutes than Pogba did in the last two games
"what you doing?"
"what you doing?"
Congratulations to Southampton. The newest best team in the league.
So pathetic.
This is a genuine question to ALL Liverpoo* supporters here.
Wank your dick
Injuries ruined us. We’re as good as any team in the league, but we never really had a chance this season. We went into too many games having been forced to surrender our quality advantage that we hold over certain teams due injury.
Most of the first half of the season, we entered games against poorer teams with half of our team no better than theirs (due to injury). The likes of Pereira, McTominay, Lingard and James are of the standard of the likes of Newcastle, Villa, Watford etc - so it is of no surprise that we dropped a lot of points against those teams. We had no real advantage over them at the time. We’re far less likely to drop such points with our current lineup just because the XI is that much better than the opponent.
