@Abdinasir Abdalla actually, a defeat by 5 goals causes a ten swing goal difference between the two teams. City gain +5, United lose - 5. So it, was this game that cost them the title.
@Abdinasir Abdalla you don't get it. Your maths is all wrong. Man City beating Man United 6-1 does not generate a goal swing of 5 in the goal difference table. It generates a goal difference of 10 between the two teams. City have five goals added to their record, United have five goals taken away from their record. +5--5=5+5=10
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.
His club have been embarrassed on the pitch. He isn’t going to add to that by getting triggered in an interview. Bet it was a different story in the dressing room afterwards...
I'm not a Utd fan. An Arsenal fan at that, but Fergie was a beast; whether you like him or not. He was an amazing manager. I watched his final speech, and realised football lost something huge that day
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.
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)
That's not calmness, LOL. That's Fergie being shell shocked, he knew then that his managing career was over. And sure enough a few months later he was gone for good.
Calm? Are you sane? The interviewer asked closed questions that 'Sir' Alex struggled with. A great manager? No, simply a drunken, bumbling clown with a ridiculous amount of money at his behest, and thus a disgrace to everyone in football.
This result played a factor but the the games just before the derby at the Etihad swung it goal difference City’s way. United lost 1-0 to Wigan then drew 4-4 with Everton while City beat WBA 4-0 then beat Norwich 6-1.
Matt Jeandons suck it up. that didn’t happen. maybe ferguson shouldn’t have gone to the etihad playing super defensive and trying to get a 0-0 with park ji sung running around trying to man mark silva. the only game in fergusons’ time at united with no shots on goal
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
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.
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?
@@Redsnapper123 It was 50 years ago, and I don't remember many games, but I remember that one. I also remember we beat Manchester City 2-0 in the Texaco Cup. None of my younger friends believe that one!

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?
@@Siteus1 I'm not sure. I think it goes straight to a play-off at a neutral ground which I think is a fairer way of deciding it - because the team that did better in the head to head record would have done worse against the other teams in the Premier League.
Play off is the last resort, they have a whole list of stats to look at before a play off is decided. Even though a play off for the league title at say Wembley would draw everyone’s attention. It goes down to who has the best home record, wins at home, goals for at home and goals conceded at home.
Wrong because after this united went solid and pragmatic, before this united was scoring for fun, beating arsenal 8-2 ect, also they would have gone all out to score goals against Sunderland rather than keep it safe at 1-0 because they thought the gd was too much to make up
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.

This is why he is the greatest. No BS takes It accepts it. Even says for certain they’ll come back from this. Not ‘yeah we have to come back from this..” and also that confident they’ll get going come January time. He know his team he knew the drill year after year. Yes city won the league but only just and what happened the next year.? Won the league at a canter. THE BOSS
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
0:21 "after that we kept attacking" same with Liverpool today, when you're down 5-2 in the second half you should just shut it down and try to limit the damage. Especially if you're title contenders, it could cost you (the way it cost United in 2012)
RIP Man Utd 1878-2021 Those of us who have witnessed United's defeats at Leicester City and at home to Liverpool and Manchester City in recent weeks have been subjected to a style and results that are quite simply unsustainable for a club of this stature. 21% of Man Utd's home defeats in PL history have come under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The last 4 home games in the premiere leage and only scored one goal with 3 defeats and one draw and to top it, Man Utd conceded more goals at OT than Norwich at Carrow Road
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.
Spot on. People say "he went out with a title win" but what he did was mask his ageing side by buying RVP, won it and pissed off after previously stating that he wasn't retiring anytime soon. He left the squad a mess Was he a great manager? Of course. But people are ignorant to the point you made aswell as being super fortunate to inherit such a wealth of youth talent aswell as coming into success just ask sky pumped crazy money into the league. Other teams just couldn't compete with that.
I'm a City fan, I had a ticket for this game. The week before I couldn't go, so I gave my ticket to a mate. 2 days before the game it turns out I could go. Watching this in the pub was brilliant and depressing and my mate who I gave my ticket too, still to this day sends me random texts reminding me that he went and I didn't!!!
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 was spot on with the effect the massive negative goal difference might have on the title race at the end of the season. This was a 10-goal swing in goal difference in favour of City. United lost the league that season ... on goal difference. That season United came within goal difference - and an Aguero goal with the last kick of the game in the last minute of the season - of winning the league for a RECORD 4th time in a row. A feat that has never been achieved by any club in the history of English football. And perhaps never will.
The goal difference came into picture because United blew an 8 point lead going into April over the span of 4 games. We drew 4-4 against Everton at Old Trafford (we were leading 4-1 and blew the win by shipping 3 goals in 10 minutes), lost 2-1 away to Wigan Athletic and we lost 1-0 to City at the Etihad. If only we had won of those games, it would have been 21 titles for United right now.🤷🏻♂️
The difference from then and now is that this guy is still the greatest football manager off all time. A phenomenon! Took Aberdeen to the European Cup winners cup and won! Beating Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Manchester City 🤝Tottenham
6-1 victories at Old Trafford
Makes me laugh 😂. Shushes all the Utd fans

@@vados8500 yep I’m a united fan but klopp is the best manager in the world right now better than pep
@@Essien419 Are you sure about that😂
@@wasiqjhalak6433 not anymore🤣🤣
@@Essien419 hahaha yea for sure, Liverpool’s transfers were so poor this year, Mane for Nunez lol, I am not complaining. Plus pep was always a better coach after all he achieved with Barca then Bayern and now writing history With Manchester city. England is Blue💙💙💙
He was pretty chill
‘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
Funny how Fergie mentioned the goal deference .. then the season was decided on goal difference😯
Exactly what i was thinking. Spooky how he called this so early on in the season. He really knew his stuff
I miss you so much sir Alex :( watching football hasn’t been the same
‘You never know, goal difference may count’
He knew .... the gaffer knew
This is why he is the greatest. No BS takes It accepts it. Even says for certain they’ll come back from this. Not ‘yeah we have to come back from this..” and also that confident they’ll get going come January time. He know his team he knew the drill year after year. Yes city won the league but only just and what happened the next year.? Won the league at a canter. THE BOSS
This man is a genius.. Perfect objective composed reaction to a tough result.. Sending subliminal messages in every sentence.. The Best..
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
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.
It was, though. United have better players.
This match happened in the 2011/12 season, so City won by goal difference just like the gaffer predicted in this interview
SufamiDan no they don’t haha
Not mentioning it was the legendary SAF.
Ole is a kid compare to him.
ben rudolph yes they do.
You just know he absolutely bollocked Evra and Ferdinand straight after.
“e whas e bah day ah the affice, there’s nah douh ‘bout tha”
The difference in reaction.... The difference of how to handle the defeat and how to handle the media. Man was a genius.
When Ole said he learned it all from SAF, didn’t realise he meant this
Great interview tho. No condescending questions, let SAF talk, he mainly listened. Miss these days.
0:21 "after that we kept attacking"
same with Liverpool today, when you're down 5-2 in the second half you should just shut it down and try to limit the damage. Especially if you're title contenders, it could cost you (the way it cost United in 2012)
They beat barca 4 they had beliefnhahahhah
RIP Man Utd 1878-2021
Those of us who have witnessed United's defeats at Leicester City and at home to Liverpool and Manchester City in recent weeks have been subjected to a style and results that are quite simply unsustainable for a club of this stature.
21% of Man Utd's home defeats in PL history have come under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The last 4 home games in the premiere leage and only scored one goal with 3 defeats and one draw and to top it, Man Utd conceded more goals at OT than Norwich at Carrow Road
Notice he mentioned goal difference and this was the season city won it on goal difference🤯
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.
Spot on. People say "he went out with a title win" but what he did was mask his ageing side by buying RVP, won it and pissed off after previously stating that he wasn't retiring anytime soon. He left the squad a mess
Was he a great manager? Of course. But people are ignorant to the point you made aswell as being super fortunate to inherit such a wealth of youth talent aswell as coming into success just ask sky pumped crazy money into the league. Other teams just couldn't compete with that.

This channel keeps on giving! Perfect timing!
Big difference between the two games:
That day City were on a different planet
Today United were pathetically poor
True that
Lol imagine giving zero credit to a team winning 6-1. Spurs were fantastic
@array s City lose a lot of goals that match United was just luck this day...
I'm a City fan, I had a ticket for this game. The week before I couldn't go, so I gave my ticket to a mate. 2 days before the game it turns out I could go.
Watching this in the pub was brilliant and depressing and my mate who I gave my ticket too, still to this day sends me random texts reminding me that he went and I didn't!!!
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 was spot on with the effect the massive negative goal difference might have on the title race at the end of the season.
This was a 10-goal swing in goal difference in favour of City.
United lost the league that season ... on goal difference.
That season United came within goal difference - and an Aguero goal with the last kick of the game in the last minute of the season - of winning the league for a RECORD 4th time in a row. A feat that has never been achieved by any club in the history of English football. And perhaps never will.
Embarrassing for all United fans but the first time fergie was beaten badly
Well... City beat Fergie’s United 5-1 in 1989
mikel Christopher Chelsea beat them 5-0 in 1999
Newcastle also beat them 5-0
Southampton beat united 6-3 in I think the 1996 or 1997 season in the game where united were wearin the all grey strip
Barcelona 4 Man u 0 '94
Man u lucky to get nil that night
The goal difference came into picture because United blew an 8 point lead going into April over the span of 4 games. We drew 4-4 against Everton at Old Trafford (we were leading 4-1 and blew the win by shipping 3 goals in 10 minutes), lost 2-1 away to Wigan Athletic and we lost 1-0 to City at the Etihad. If only we had won of those games, it would have been 21 titles for United right now.🤷🏻♂️
SAF : keep attacking even with 10man, get a psychology goal made by fletcher
Ole : changed bruno and start defend at 1-4 score 😩
He literally spent this entire interview criticising the decision to keep attacking
He said it would be common sense to stop attacking mate and that the team did wrong to continue attacking with 10 man
@@gmaer2012 yes but atleast he allowed them to attack, he would never changed wazza for jones after that red card.
Sky Sports Retro never misses. Always uploading old clips that relate to shocking events in football. Keep it going!
lost 1-6 never the worst situation, the worst is we could see "hope in next games" from SAF but OGS
Sky sports retro, the gift that keeps on giving
Imagine losing 6-1 to spurs😂😂😂
m8 tottenham is at the level of the best teams in europe
and Man U is shit
AltF4 Magic first win a important trophy then come back and say that 😂

He must be so disappointed with the current state of the club
He’d never buy players like Jones, Smalling, Young and bring through Lingard...hang on a minute
Sky Sports Retro, the gift that keeps on giving
joe hart on the bench : Oh Nostalgic
actually miss this guy being on tv what a legend not even a manu fan
The difference from then and now is that this guy is still the greatest football manager off all time. A phenomenon! Took Aberdeen to the European Cup winners cup and won! Beating Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Whenever I'm feeling fed up I love watching re runs of this game and the QPR game :-)
The difference was that in this game we fought back, in yesterday’s game we parked the bus and hoped that we didn’t lose too badly.
The timing of the recommendation..
Unreal
This channel is proper trolling at Utd 😆
LFC Spectre you’re getting beat by Villa, pipe down

7-2
Rare to see Alex giving interview after he loses usually walks away as far as I remember
Compare his face with Solksjaer after a 6-1 loss. That makes the difference.
this channel is pure gold
" Cmon lads its just United " said Jose..
Tottenham being like United ffs...
Karma exist..
