Real Madrid have agreed to a five-year pre-contract agreement with Eden Hazard, according to Talksport, with the playmaker making the move to La Liga next summer.

Is that reported by AS? Seems like bunk to me at this point

Money well spent today.

In all honesty, this result was coming. Bad form was building up. Obviously didnt expect this. But now hopefully they see that they are not unbeatable. This team has gotten every complacent after the great start. They struggled with shit teams in the CL, and obviously that last 2 PL games.

1st half was ok. 55% of the ball for United, and City had one very well placed shot. Other than that Mario goal, there was nothing in the game. City didnt want to create anything, and United flat out couldnt and looked at the ref for hope all 1st half. Nani rapes Clichy everytime they play, and didnt run at him once all game. Just bad.

J. Evans was Evans today, and he can fuck off.

But even in the 2nd half, just complete shit. Very pathetic. Theres nothing else to say i guess. Everything was bad, and the will wasnt there. So..... meh i guess.

United have done this to others, so just gotta take it on the chin. Its not the 1st time theyve lost by 5, it probably wont be the last.

Goddamn, 6-1 at OT? I was pulling for a draw or Utd win unfortunately.

Hey Darren Fletcher,

Hold maaah diiick!

"We don't want to give City the confidence of winning trophies to get to our level," Fletcher told the Daily Mirror

Just got done watching the game on my DVR. I absolutely loved every minute of it. Probably my favorite EPL game since I started watching 3 years ago. Before that it was probably the Tottenham/City game at the end of the 09/10 season - which we lost, but, it was a great game at the time.

I have to agree with 1KE though, it did seem that Man U was looking for the ref to bail them out at times. With that being said, I would chalk this up to a bad day for Man U and expect that when we play them again at Etihad, it will be a much more closely contested contest. However, for today, I will take a 6-1 win and Chelsea losing to QPR as well.

Bosingwa sees red!

Good day for City so far...

Drogba gone too! Two footed studs up

Good day for City so far...

And a certain club in 4th place.

What a disaster first half, unbelievable.

Impressive win by City. I don't think its really indicative of a true talent gap, but more like the 8-1 win over Arsenal...

Just finished watching the last bit of the Barcelona-Sevilla match from yesterday. Chaos. Some pretty iffy referring throughout the match and it looked like Iniesta bought the penalty there.

Chelski couldnt help themselves and even tried to out-do United today with 2 red cards. That ref in the Chels game. Lol

The Bosingwa card I felt was a bit harsh. Looked to me like SWP was the one who pulled him down

Drogba went in two footed with his studs up. He got the ball, but those are the challenges that need to be driven out from football

That ref was terrible. The PK was iffy at best, Luiz was fouled out of the box before giving Helguson the slightest of nudges. And then he didn't make the same call throughout the rest of the game. Bosingwa's red wasn't even a foul. Drogba's was understandable, but he didn't even go in hard. The barrage of yellows was unnecessary.

Even then we dominated the second half down two men and Anelka should have equalized (twice).

The Drenthe and Ruiz goals in the Everton/Fulham game were beauty's
