Manchester City 🤝Tottenham 6-1 victories at Old Trafford

1:18 “You never know, goal difference may count” Ah, how right were you Sir Alex. It surely did!

The fact that he was talking about goal difference this early in the season shows how serious he was

This is what caused the goal difference that led to city winning the league. EDIT: I’ll just explain what I meant by this comment because of some of the replies. When City battered united 6-1, City’s goal difference went up by 5, and United’s goal difference went down by 5. So the goal difference between city and united increased by 10 after that game. City won the league by 8 goal difference. If city had only won 2-1 then City’s goal difference would’ve increased by 1 and uniteds would’ve decreased by 1. Meaning, on the last day of the season, City would have only have been going into the final game ahead on goals scored. It would then have been a much more tense final day with City and United competing to win their final games by the biggest margin, to better each others goal difference. City beating united 6-1 earlier in the season effectively eliminated this possibility, so all City needed on the final day was a win. Of course this single game isn’t responsible for the goal difference that won City the league, but I believe it to be the most significant. For example, earlier in the season City had scorelines like 4-0 against Blackburn, which increased their goal difference by 4, but in the same match week, united also won 2-0. So the overall goal difference from that match week was +2 City. Nowhere near the +10 margin created by the 6-1 win. Also, for the record, I’d say the Liverpool Arsenal ‘89 final day was more iconic than 2012. The game was essentially a premier league cup final, it was a tighter margin (goals scored), it was won in injury time, Arsenal hadn’t won at Anfield since 1974, and Liverpool were the team to beat at the time. However, no one can say that Aguerooooo moment wasn’t one of the most iconic moments in English football history. The last time City were challenging united for success was the late seventies. City had endured 44 years without winning the top flight, so to do it against their local rivals who were so dominant over them for so long, on goal difference, scoring twice in stoppage time, is the kind of thing you see once in a lifetime. People might say it’s tainted because of the oil money, but at the time people still thought of City fans as salt of the earth, loyal supporters who supported a massive club criminally underachieving. Uniteds dominance in this era meant people didn’t have high opinions of them, ‘Cockney Gloryhunters’ etc. you know the rest. Essentially what I mean is that City were more likeable than United at the time, and were also the underdogs, which made the moment more iconic in my eyes. If United had won it, then yeah, add that to your collection, but city winning it felt special. Just like how Arsenal winning it felt more special than Liverpool.

He was right about the goal difference that season

Plot twist: The admin of this channel is Harrowk

Man this guy just lost 6 to 1 and still gives calm and perfect awnsers, SAF is never going to be replaced sadly

He’s supremely confident he has it under control. No panic. What a manager.

It just shows how incredibly sharp and knowledgeable Sir Alex was as a manager. He mentioned about the goal difference of 10 against United, maybe making a difference, and he was on the ball, as City won the league overall, with a goal difference of 8 after both teams finished on equal points.

Reporter: are you hoping for a reaction? Feggy: oooh we will react That's the man utd mentality that has been lost

Here after 6-3

What a manager he was! Not a Utd fan but was gutted when he retired! He was unbelievable for the prem!

Muller: We call them Sky Sports ReTROLL *NO ONE LAUGHS* "Get it Sky Sports ReTROLL"

Incredible how calm he was. Just shows what a great manager he was, picking his moments around when to be/act angry or when to be calm. Still almost one the league that season. (ps, Spurs fan of 35+ years here)

The timing is impeccable Sky Sports Retro 👏

2:05 - That was the mentality back then under SAF.

"Why always me?" - Mario Balotelli

1:17 Fergie predicting the goal difference at the end of the season.

Been waiting for you to post something from that legendary 6-1 match

This channel is glorious 😂

1:10 how he could've seen that the goal difference will mater at the end of the season?! Manchester City won that season by a goal difference of +8

Getting an unskippable ad of mourinho saying he’s the special one is just what I needed after today🙃

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

Weird thinking that we might be seeing a video in 10 years of ole's interview after today's match on this same channel

Ole should quickly watch this to know how to respond to the press😂😉

What really impressed me is how confident he is. He knows it was just a bad one-off performance. His team is much better than this one result. You can hear it in the tone of his voice. This confidence is what OGS lacks. The players feel that he has no clue how to fix things.

“You never know goal difference may count” How right he was 😂. Just another example of how clever he was.

This channel might just be the greatest thing ever to be created on UKposts

He forgot that he lost 7-1 as a player, when he was a Falkirk player, against Airdrie, in about 1971. I'm an Airdrie supporter and I was at that game. It was the last game of the season and we needed to score 6 to qualify for the Dryborough Cup, I think. I'm fairly sure that Fergie scored Falkirk's goal. But no disrepect to the man, he has achieved so much in his career. Why would he remember a game like that?

I'm not a Manchester United fan but it is indisputable that he was the greatest manager of his time and probably most other times - here we see one of his many qualities - he has just seen and everyone else has seen his team have their butts kicked 6/1 but he knows how important it is not to be seen to the public and the other teams and managers as to it having knocked him down, he knows how important it is to keep his dignity and not let the interviewer get to him - he handles it superbly - years of experience and wisdom coming to the fore - the perfect lesson in how to cope with a set back

Only sky sports retro can race the speed of light in uploads!!!!

He was right. The swing in goal difference caused by this game is what lost Man Utd the title.

Roy keane: "I think liverpool are sloppy" Man united loose 6-1 to tottenham... Edit: well this comment doesnt work anymore liverpool are losing to villa 😂😂

This channel keeps on giving! Perfect timing!

The confidence in his eyes is unbelievable even after 6-1 loss. You can just see how calm he is

He always had belief his team would turn it around... And they always did. What a legend!

The humility of the man...it is humbling to hear him speak. There will never ever be another like him.

the timing of this😂😂

I remember I couldn't watch this game live so I avoided finding out the result all day, man that was the worst Match of the Day I ever waited for 😂

He gave his life for Manchester United and is hero! Tge reason along with Cantona, Bruce, Keane and class of 92 we were so successful

Love your vids keep up the cracking work

The calmest I think I've ever seen Ferguson after such an embarrassing defeat.

Huge difference between that 6-1 and this one. Huge. I was so angry at that game, but moved on the next day because I knew they'd destroy the next few teams. With this one the moment it was 2-1, I knew it was game over. My mind drifted off and felt no emotion at all.This board have really sucked the soul out of the club.

Sky Sports Retro never misses. Always uploading old clips that relate to shocking events in football. Keep it going!

He was right about the goal difference te. Shows you how great of a manager for him to know how important goal difference is

Then: we kept attacking.. Now: we kept getting attacked

Notice he mentioned goal difference and this was the season city won it on goal difference🤯

This channel never disappoints eeh. Legendary and right in time

I miss you so much sir Alex :( watching football hasn’t been the same

At least Man Utd finished 2nd that season. If there are no changes, Man Utd will be out of the top 6.

Remember, this game was quite early on in the season, yet he still predicted he'd lose on gd

October 23, 2011. I remember the day as it was yesterday. I had invited someone over to watch the match as a first date (remember, we had been beating city in the last minutes for a few.) She laughed, I asked her to get outa my house. Can never forget.

He did very well at gauging the situation and how it will pan out if things continue like this. That's a man with experience and insight, never discounting anything.

He could handle one consistent challenger in Chelsea, but not two. no surprise he decided to run for the hills after this season. He spent most of his prem career with challengers will much less deeper pockets coming and going, but that season was a signal to him that his time was up.

Absolutely the best manager ever, very humble even in defeat.

The timing of the recommendation.. Unreal

Sky Sports Retro, the gift that keeps on giving

I like how ferguson instantly sees the problem with the scoreline. Goal difference! He was proved to be correct. If utd had lost by 1 goal only nearly all of their stats would have been the same or within 1 goal of each other. Great season

When Ole said he learned it all from SAF, didn’t realise he meant this

this channel is pure gold

actually miss this guy being on tv what a legend not even a manu fan

Meanwhile Ole after 5-0: Harry Maguire was solid as usual. I don't think Pogba deserved the red, he puts a lot of effort into the match.

I’m a Liverpool fan but miss that man being in the premier league. It will never be the same without him. Unbelievable manager.

My love for this guy grows every day.

Sky sports retro, the gift that keeps on giving

‘You never know, goal difference may count’ He knew .... the gaffer knew

When SAF says there will be a reaction he means it. Unlike today...

Whenever I'm feeling fed up I love watching re runs of this game and the QPR game :-)

THIS CHANNEL IS LEGENDARY

‘Goal difference may count.’ I believe we lost the league on goal difference. Lol. What a game 😃

Look up the word timing in the dictionary and you'll see the Sky Sports Retro logo

I am in love with whoever is behind this UKposts channel 🤣🤣❤❤

This channel had masterpiece of art.

It would have been different if I was in the starting XI today.

I wish I appreciated fergie more when he was managing, his grace and humility in defeat was remarkable. My hatred for man u when I was younger blinded me of that

Legend

Love the timing of these videos

“e whas e bah day ah the affice, there’s nah douh ‘bout tha”

This man is a genius.. Perfect objective composed reaction to a tough result.. Sending subliminal messages in every sentence.. The Best..

Brilliant Interviewer

a work of art

“Not in my lifetime 😭

If the City had won this game 2-1, they would have finished the season level on points with United, the same goal difference, the same number of goals scored, the same number conceded. What then? A play-off at Wembley? A two legged play-off home and away?

The wisdom of the swing in goal difference that early in the season is unbelievable

The difference in reaction.... The difference of how to handle the defeat and how to handle the media. Man was a genius.

Funny how Fergie mentioned the goal deference .. then the season was decided on goal difference😯

There’s no smiling, just pure grit and steel. Ole post match conference was smiling after 6-1 loss. We’ve lost this but it’s not just Ole’s fault, the club top to bottom has lost the Man Utd metal. Will be another 10 years before we see it back

You are the best channel on UKposts coming from a Man Utd fan

I thought about this too when I saw the scoreline, ah fantastic game that was.

The difference with this Manager is he probably slapped every single player and said, we're going to win more titles and don't ever pull that shit again.

SAF : keep attacking even with 10man, get a psychology goal made by fletcher Ole : changed bruno and start defend at 1-4 score 😩

Literally one of the best channels on YT 😂

i miss him everyday

Man United were the Champions 2011 and because of that it was a huge surprise against Man City. Today against Tottenham i don't sink so.

lost 1-6 never the worst situation, the worst is we could see "hope in next games" from SAF but OGS

Rare to see Alex giving interview after he loses usually walks away as far as I remember

He was pretty chill

Imagine losing 6-1 to spurs😂😂😂
