Sir Alex Ferguson has described Manchester United's 6-1 defeat at home to Manchester City as the worst he has experienced in over half a century in the game.

"It was our worst ever day," Ferguson said. "It's the worst result in my history, ever. Even as a player I don't think I ever lost 6-1. That's challenge for me too."

Looks like City is going to run away with it. At least Chelsea lost as well.

I’m rooting hard for Newcastle this year to make the Top Four.

The Red Devils have had a good run. It’s time to let Chelsea or Arsenal have a shot at a Premier title for a change.
