Serves Ferguson right for resting so many key players in most of the games, it was only a matter of time before these cocky teams got bitten on the arse.

Agreed, surely you win your first four games and THEN rest your star players, you can't expect to get away with putting out second string sides the whole way through the tournament.
Conceeding 5 goals in two games against Basel is very, very poor, it makes you wonder what Barcelona would have done to this United team.
I think we now know why we let Smalling go, the bloke plays in a dream world.
I think we had Smalling on trial from Maidstone. He didn't come through our youth system.
Can't help but laugh at the Manchester clubs and their fans crying about dropping into the Europa League. I would bloody love for Charlton to be in the Europa League.

yeah but they have spent the last few seasons sining to liverpool about being live on 5 thursdays from 8, so a bit of humble pie
Smalling turned us down I heard. Mcginty was the one we sold to United...no idea if he is still there.
Utd...dumped out the CCC by Palace, dumped out of the CL by Basle, about to be dumped from the FA Cup by City, will then be dumped out of the UEFA by City and willl be beaten to the league by City...oh dear, all gone horribly wrong there and they spent a lot in the summer too...i could even see them finishing outside the top 4 amazingly...think this is the season where they just may be found out. Chelsea will come good, Spurs & City will keep motoring and it is up to Arsenal!
Sad that two English teams are out of the Cup. Let's hope that Chelsea & Arsenal can go further and perhaps one of them win it. United were poor, City unlucky.

See Rooney turned it on when it mattered again!
Rooney was pants. Redknapp said so and Neville said yes but... and changed subject.
Didnt think we had smalling either, I cant remember the name of the centre back that Man utd took of us but i'm sure it wasnt smalling.
I thought someone on here said we had him as a youngster but let him go? Just had a quick Google and looks like that is actually bollocks.
Not to matter, he is still a very poor defender at that level IMHO, lacks any awareness defensively.
The centre-half we sold to Man Utd was Sean McGinty wasn't it?
City will come again.
Utd have been pretty poor (by their own standards) all season. Barcelona & Real Madrid would have peed all over them had they got through.
Thought the right back for Basel was unlucky with his thunderous effort towards his own goal.
Headline: "Basel Brush United aside".
Well it made me laugh.
