From many to many, first in the entity framework

Question

I am using Entity Framework 4 CTP5 Code First, and I have a model line by line:

public class User {
   public int UserId { get; set; }
   public string Email { get; set; }
   public ICollection<Customer> TaggedCustomers { get; set; }
}
public class Customer {
  public int CustomerId { get; set; }
  public string FirstName { get; set; }
  public string LastName { get; set; }
  public ICollection<User> TaggedBy { get; set; }
}

There are many, many relationships in which the User can “tag” a client and a client that can be “tagged” by many users. I have a working DbContext and I can request clients using

 var customers = DbContext.Customers.Include(c => c.TaggedBy);

But each client will have all the users who tagged the client. How to limit the TaggedBy collection to just the result using the specified UserId?

I tried the lines DbContext.Customers.Include(c => c.TaggedBy.Select(x => x.Id == userId));, but this causes an error.

EF CTP5: API - ADO.NET team blog - - MSDN

modelBuilder.Entity<Product>() 
    .HasMany(p => p.Tags)
    .WithMany(t => t.Products)
    .Map(m =>
        {
            m.MapLeftKey(p => p.ProductId, "CustomFkToProductId");
            m.MapRightKey(t => t.TagId, "CustomFkToTagId");
        });

modelBuilder.Entity<Product>()
    .HasMany(p => p.SoldAt)
    .WithMany(s => s.Products)
    .Map(mc => {
        mc.ToTable("ProductsAtStores");
        mc.MapLeftKey(p => p.Id, "ProductId");
        mc.MapRightKey(s => s.Id, "StoreId");

, :

public class User
{
    public int UserId { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Customer> TaggedCustomers { get; set; }
}

public class Customer
{
    public int CustomerId { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<User> TaggedBy { get; set; }
}

using(var context = new MyDbContext())
{
    var user = context.Users.Single(o => o.UserId == 0);
    var customers = user.TaggedCustomers;
}
