Play until you win in the Manchester derby

Man Utd 4-3 Man City with the winning goal scored in the 6th minute of added time. Even ex red and City Manager Mark Hughes was enraged and after all he knows the play til you win rules and on this occasion those rules must have been exceeded :( .

For the record:

Referee: Martin Atkinson, Fourth official: Alan Wiley

    Old Trafford - a place where time conveniently stands still.

    “Owen ran so fast that slowed time.” Alan ‘Einstein’ Wiley explains, “The 7 min added time was actually just 4 min on the pitch.”

    Proven once again why soccer is the only sports that technologies can’t apply. Technologies would only “SLOW DOWN” the game so this relativity phenomenon will be lost forever.

    @ ‘Old_Traffordish’ - top name m8. I like :)

    Seems now that the distortion of the very fabric of time itself can be added
    to the ever growing list of old traffordish events that occur within the walls of old trashyard.
    Is there nothing in the universe that Fergescum cannot buy?!

    Another disgrace. A few points will decide the title come the end of the year and here are 3 points for Man Utd, off a close contender. V Poor. :(

    AntiManu: here are 3 points indeed, but what about the 3 they took from under the nose of Arsenal?

    I am a Gunner and am still sick. the Adebayor stamp: every angle i look at i see the referee in a perfect position to do what any other ref in any other game would do, and that is to send him off!

    they are now 5 points better off than they should be, i am guessing the tally by the end of the season wil be closer to 10 points - not a bad head start for the season.

    Happens every year m8. Last years free points came from Tottenham, Bolton, Everton etc. etc.
    Like I’ve said before money talks.

    They have still yet to beat their own added time record of 7 mins that they
    were gifted against Sheff Weds - basically they played til Steve Bruce scored….then miraculously it was full time.

    F.I.X.E.D.
