I am not a person who agrees with many sentiments that are expressed by anyone associated with City but I couldn’t help but feel a similar shock [...]

By Adam Hicks. 1. Team spirit: A great positive for Sir Alex and the fans was the togetherness of the team, aside from the usual grit and determination to come from behind and win, there was great understanding amongst the players.

Paul Scholes was sent off in the second half but did nothing to dispel and awfully disappointing performance from the Red Devil’s at Wembley. The noisy [...]
