Why would you want City to beat Utd, believe it or not a Utd win or a draw will be a better result for us. Utd are 6 points behind and two games in hand, but we've got the better goal difference.
It's like asking why is the Pope Catholic?
We had this argument last week about Arsenal, and they're now even further behind us. So if the gap is what it is now, the mancs can win their games in hand, it still isn't enough for them. They need another result from somewhere. So there's no need to panic, and no need to want the enemy to win more games.
Scrappy game for us, as you would expect against Pulis, but we got the result we needed. That's all we had to do. Albert should have scored at the end, but he's not known for his scoring prowess, plus his confidence is zero. Benteke was missing such chances last season, while Lallana missed one at City recently. It didn't matter in the end, it's our first win there in 5 years. You have to congratulate their PA's pre-game music choice though. We play the world famous YNWA to get the crowd going, while they play Faithless Insomnia to help get their crowd to sleep from what they're about to watch.
So that is the end of the away trips outside London. We're back there on May Day.
