You got destroyed.

Don't cry about it.

Man United!

Glory, Glory!

Hahahah.

Hardly, if you call destroyed beating depleted Citeh squad in the last ten seconds, when making errors not worthy of Division Two football.

LOL funniest reaction ever!!!

You lot scored at 90th minute...plus a substitution .... on to the 4 mins = 5 mins...we had a free kick...etc etc

anywayyyyyyyyyyy

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO just ran 3 laps around my house looooool

Ferdinand + foster's mistakes were shocking....cant be doing that, Still we deserved the win

Playing until the 96th minute was inexcusable, the board clearly said 3 minutes when Bellamy scored but low and behold there was six minutes played

I am neutral here, don't like United or City.

Ferguson is a ****ing ****. That little joke he shared with the 4th official after getting the winner was disgusting. He is always in the refs ear, something we at West Brom last season when Rob Styles ran around trying to stay in Ferguson's good books by giving everything to them. City were cheated today, simple as. Do you ****ney wankers (support your local team you ****s) seriously think if that the game was at the City of Manchester of stadium and City were all over United they would get an extra 1 and a half minutes to try to score...course they wouldn't. The sooner Ferguson has a cardiac arrest the better.

Hear, Hear

This one was better......

yup it was obvious that special preference was given to UTD, I watch bellammy scored and said yes it will be a draw and also because he is on my fantasy team only to see UTD get chance and chance again to attack when the should of been called off right after Bellamy scored.

Man City didn't deserve a win, might even go as far to say they didn't deserve the draw either. We dominated the whole 2nd half and should have scored about 3 goals, Given kept City in the game they couldn't even get out of their own half. We dominated about half of the 1st half, City were only in the game for about 20 mins of the first half and that was due to a gifted goal.

Two of City's goals were complete gifts from Foster and Ferdinand. May as well have just thrown the ball in the back of the net for you.

You spent ages on your celebration and we subbed Carrick on for Anderson plus there would have been about 3 or 4 mins stoppage time anyway.

They clearly did as they got a draw within the alloted time plus the added injury time. The referee obviously didn't want to be shouted at afterwards. Once it got to 94 minutes and 30 seconds I just knew that play would continue until United scored.

We dominated the whole 2nd half and should have scored about 3 goals

You did score about three goals in the second half. If you count the one that went in a minute and a half after the game should have ended.

We dominated about half of the 1st half, City were only in the game for about 20 mins of the first half and that was due to a gifted goal.

The score was 3-3 after 90 minutes. So City were clearly "in the game" for the whole game.

Honestly where do you guys get your logic from?

Two of City's goals were complete gifts from Foster and Ferdinand.

One of United's goals was a gift from Micah Richards and two of them were gifts from Given as he failed uncharacteristically to control his area and come for the ball.

You spent ages on your celebration

Kick off after the goal was at 90.45. And four minutes was frankly baffling to start with.

[Joe2608]

This is the rule written by FA:

“Many stoppages in play are entirely natural (e.g. throw-ins, goal kicks). An allowance is to be made only when these delays are excessive.

The fourth official indicates the minimum additional time decided by the referee at the end of the final minute of each period of play.

The announcement of the additional time does not indicate the exact amount of time left in the match. The time may be increased if the referee considers it appropriate but never reduced.

The referee must not compensate for a timekeeping error during the first half by increasing or reducing the length of the second half.”

Key word MINIMUM. United and City both made subs, City took ages celebrating, were blatantly playing for the draw hence why Given was also time wasting taking goal kicks. Add in stoppage time due to tackles flying in everywhere, i don't think the ref was that wrong.

People keep acting like it was all in our favour, like the stoppage time is purely for us. But the stoppage time is for Man City as well, why didn't they try and score instead of playing for the draw??

[Joe2608]

I'll break it down for you:

Match official board = 4 minutes
Bellamy's goal celebration = 56 seconds
Substutition - Anderson out, Carrick in = 30 seconds
Shay Given wasting time = 25 seconds

So 90 minutes + 4 minutes + 56 seconds + 30 seconds + 25 seconds = 95 minutes 51 seconds Michael Owen scored the fourth goal at 95 minutes and 27 seconds.

95 minutes 51 seconds + 1 minute 9 seconds = 7 extra time minutes played. The referee played 1 minutes 9 seconds extra, that made it 7 minutes.

Man City can't complain they had 1 minutes 9 seconds extra to play, they should take advantage of that.

I'd also like to point out that the referee added those 4 mins extra time BEFORE BELLAMY SCORED, we were still winning so how would that be in our favour?

[Gorgeous George]

Shay given is the best goalkeeper in the premiership.

[JmtRyan]

Haha, everyone is so bitter.

The fact is, we had ONE second exta in stoppage time, quick on the phone to Platini, this cannot stand... HAHAHAHAHA

Also:

Man utd 58% POSSESSION 42% City

Man Utd 11 SHOTS ON TARGET 6 City

Man Utd 10 SHOTS OFF TARGET 4City

Man Utd 11 CORNERS 1 City

Stats seem pretty dominant to me no?

This one was better......

I'm having trouble picking out which one is the best out of these, maybe you can help?

[Sir Tom Jones]

**** Man Utd and Man City and anyone else.
