Yeah I'd have Mata in there over Hazard, but Hazard did have a pretty fantastic debut season.
I would definitely have Fergie and Clarke ahead of him, but I thought they looked a better team than Rodgers' Swansea up until February. There has to be questions asked about their mentality shift after that but they won a cup and they looked a top top team until then. But I'd dave Ferguson even with bias aside, and I suspect most people would too.
Nastasic, Ferdinand, Jagielka were all better than Distin.
As much as I love Lambert, anyone other than Fergie, Clarke or Laudrup is wrong choice for manager of the year. And Distin was good, but there was a fair few better centre backs in the league, including Jagielka.
You know, that's actually a good team selection.

Why haven't Man City announced Pellegrini yet?
I wonder if they are waiting to sort things out with Isco and maybe do a double announcement?
They're in mourning.

as if they need Isco with Jack Rodwell already at the club.
not holistic enough
Mm, personally I would have gone for DDG; Raf, Ferdinand, Vertonghen, Baines; Carrick, Schneiderlin; Suarez, Mata, Bale; RVP
That no one seems even slightly perturbed at the lack of Man City players in a team of the year is pretty telling of their absolutely shit year in the PL and CL. Nastasic I think deserves to make it into a 12-13 XI, but it could go without him as well.
I guess Zaba could replace Ivan, but Ivan was great this year.
City players that had a good year:
Zabaleta Nastasic
City players that had an okay year:
Hart Clichy Yaya Toure Nasri (because of his end of season flourish) Tevez Milner Garcia
City players that had a shit year:
Kompany Sinclair Silva Barry Kolorov Dzeko Aguero Rodwell
Pretty sad.

Supposed to be today or tomorrow apparently. He's on holiday. You people in Europe are weird about that stuff.

Hart had a shit year
Mainly because he is shit

It's what you get when you have Mancini in charge.
I think Kompany had an okay to good year that seemed worse because it wasn't nearly as good as last year. He had that recurring calf problem essentially all year too. After the start of the season which was poor (I will always mourn the Madrid duck), I thought he was much better on the whole.
My three top players for City this season were Carlitos, Zaba and Nastasic.

That's a good home kit.
Yeah. Yaya Toure, by his standards, had a poor year but he was often still the winning factor throughout City's season. Kompany was ballsing things up every game I watched.

Go away with the Yaya hate. He is a beast. Rather have him than Masch, Xabi and Lucas combined.

Yeah, when he's on his game. He should have brought it more last season.

Dear god.
Good article here on Rodgers and ten ways he's improved Liverpool. Very statty as opposed to opinions and good writing, but it's interesting. http://microlfc.com/2013/06/10/10-ways-brendan-rodgers-improved-liverpool-during-his-first-season/

Atletico Madrid revealed their new kits, I love the home (granted it would be hard to top last years amazing kit) and the away is dodgy after last years great kit.
If you can get that kit without the sponsor it would be amazing.

Need more info about this Bacuna chap. Sounds to me like a swiss army knife guy for us.

You can see some driving around here. I'm not surprised you don't have them in the US. The average American won't be able to fit in one.
I doubt it, this seasons one had no sponsor as Atleti had not gotten a replacement sponsor yet and they picked one up mid season. Only the Atleti store online sold the one with a sponsor.
I agree with Wilbur as usual.
