City are indeed a MASSIVE football club.
Unfortunately, they're not even the best team in their own little city.

City scored on 90, the board had already displayed for a minimum of 4 minutes of added time. Looking at the second half, 3 goals (before 90) = 3 minutes + 3 subs (before 90) = at least 4 minutes and 30 seconds to be added on + injuries.
1 minute was added for the city goal in injury time (as per the rules) => a minimum of 5 minutes 30 seconds of added time. United brought on Carrick in the 92nd minute => +30 secs (as per the rules) and we arrive at a minimum of 6 minutes.
United scored after 5 minutes and 26 seconds. Another minute to be added on for that goal, and we're approaching 7 minutes of added time. All is fair, unless you don't know the rules of the game, like the majority of posters in this forum.
But hey, its much more fun bashing United through your (not specifically just knobspots) own ignorance than engaging in proper football discussion.

Originally posted by hopscotchThe chance was there for Man City to get the winner as well. Great teams don't hold on for the draw. United deserve all the credit for going for the win , City didn't. Extra time at the end was an opportunity for BOTH teams.

ps. it's 30 added seconds for a goal, not 60.
