How are Man Utd winning this? City should have buried them by half time!

Mourinho maybe not as useless as some would like to think.

How annoying, was hoping to see Mourinho's ManU get a real spanking.

I'm sure that Man City missing nine open goals, the ball bouncing off the goal line and having a certain penalty and red card not given were all part of his plan.

The man's a genius.

Serves Guardiola right for leaving De Bruyne out from the start, ridiculous decision.

Sometimes these managers get too fucking clever for their own good. In such a big game why would you ever leave one of the main contenders for Footballer of Year on the bench? If they were playing Stoke fair enough.

How dare you?! Stoke are excellent, their manager says so every week,

He did again today by the way!!

As someone with far more football nous than me once said, the only stat that counts at the end of the day is the score.

I’m no fan of Mourinho, and take great pleasure in those delightful manure fans bemoaning his style of football, but it’s difficult to ignore the success he’s had over the years.

Well, they're still going to win the league at a stroll, whatever happened today and have a three-goal deficit to recover in three days time.

So it's not that ridiculous.

Mr Lambert thinks Stoke were ‘outstanding’ and ‘fantastic’ today.

I heard that and smiled for the first time since midday.

As an aside does anybody know what that tune is that Brighton come out too? Sounds like the national anthem of a Latin American military dictatorship

It helps that Sterling is a somewhat shite finisher too
