Come on City. Give the scum what they deserve - a good cuffing. They've been as hateful as ever in the build up.

All that hard work to get ahead ruined by a basic error. Delph wants shooting for that. Gutted.

The ball should never have got that far. Sane lay on the ground moaning while they broke.

What on earth was Jesus thinking when he tried to back heal it to someone else when seven yards out? He had a stinker in the first half.

That was impressive and what a way to set a new PL win record.

Yeh, very sloppy with the ball towards the end. But we did it. Fucking brilliant. 14 wins in a trot and end their unbeaten win at home when we were the last to beat them there too.

I thought Mangala was immense when he came on. Wasn't that pleased to see him when he came on either.

Ederson has been a great buy.

They were saying Lukaku would influence the match, they just didn't realise he'd provide city with 2 assists!  8)

Get in! Well done City.

The Special One looking more than a little tarnished these days. Even his bus parking skills are looking suspect.

BBC website:
"Manchester United posted a 35% possession figure, their lowest at Old Trafford in the Premier League since 2003-04"

So if all else has failed - have a good whine about the ref in the post-match...

Great quote in Barney Ronay's Guardian article -

"Some players have an extra yard in their head. Silva appears to have an entire practice pitch up there, with the whole game playing on fast-forward on a series of big screens."

and this from Jason Burt in the Telegraph..

Those noisy neighbours were at it again. Too noisy, apparently, for Jose Mourinho who asked Manchester City to turn down the tunes as they celebrated in the away dressing room after a victory which extended their Premier League lead to a seemingly insurmountable 11 points.

Mourinho had liquids thrown at him, it appears, and went on to cry over spilt milk - lashing out at how “lucky” City were. But after the rinsing his team had taken out on the pitch, it did not wash.

It is mid-December, the snow is falling and, with it, all City’s rivals have surely drifted away with second-placed Manchester United the last to drop as they lost the 175th Manchester derby and were schooled, at times, by Pep Guardiola’s team.

"Mourinho is said to have accused Ederson of play-acting to waste time and then reverted to English, screaming “you fucking show respect. Who are you?” "

Of course, this whole thing is just a deliberately manufactured distraction meant to shift the media focus away from the match itself, and will no doubt be successful in doing that. Mourinho's desire for respect could be taken a bit more seriously if his comments, both pre- and post-match, showed any respect for the opponents. But we don't expect that.
There's going to be an increasing attempt to derail City via the media since it's looking so difficult to do so on the pitch. Pep - or whoever's job it is within the management - has a big job to do in keeping the squad focused on "one game at a time" while the distractions pile up.

Exactly this. Bit rich wanting respect when he had shown the City players absolutely none in the lead up to the game.

It's great that they show the world how truly arrogant and up themselves they are and continue to make themselves look like hypocritical wankers.

Saves us a job having to take the piss out of them.

Not that it will stop me from doing so!

Hilarious that Moani's comments about diving , cheating etc back fired, so Herrera gets a yellow for just that !!
Actually City had a penalty claim for two of their players pulling Otamendi I believe in the first half, notice no mention of that?
Anyway all together now " Never felt more like sing the blues City win Utd lose ooooohhhhh
