If Man City's team is soooo superior to Manchester United's how come they can only draw level on points with United for the entire season, all whilst United had over half there first choice team out injured for half the season?

Maybe because City was also missing key players? Especially during the ACN, but keep using the "OMG WE HAVE INJURIES" excuse.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Sorry, just having a look at this blue moon in the sky, it came out of nowhere.

:lol

This is so bad Arnie. You can do better than that...

 

[Kyoufu]

Can Fulham cause Tottenham to drop points??!?!??!?!?!

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Champions League, what an achievement! From 10th last season to 2nd this season!

You a Feyenoord fan? Nice! Was so goddamn nervous, Heerenveen should have won the match already in the first half. Luckily they got tired in the second half and just gave up after the the 1-3.

Mancs defeated Newcastle and Spurs are drawing. Everything is going way better than expected.

Ryan Giggs free

Total £206,000,000

So you fittingly remove Micah Richards (free) from City and add Kolo Toure (who hasn't been on the bench for a long time), and avoid Anderson and Berbatov in United who cost a fortune.

Some City fees are too high. Yaya cost £20m, confirmed by Barcelona. James Milner didn't cost £26m.

C'mon doicare, who gives a shit? It's not like we haven't spent either. And that difference of degree doesn't matter to 99.9% of other clubs (and their supporters). Even with complaints about ownership, we've wasted money on the likes of Bebe and haven't sold players when we should have (Berbatov last summer)...

And this idea that there's no value or that there's no-one that can ably do the job is utter bullshit too. Newcastle, Spurs, Everton and other teams have done great jobs of securing talent without paying out the ass.

Anyway, there's been clear deficiencies (midfieldmidfieldmidfield) in this squad for so long now, and if they're not addressed this summer, it'll be a travesty.

 

[vall03]

Villa held off Spurs! yes!

but still, after being shitty for the past few games, Arsenal is still at 3rd? damn, we NEED to win against WBA next week!

 

[Wes]

So as long as we don't lose 15-0 to Norwich we should be safe. Thank McLeish....

 

[Salazar]

Dippy commentator.

"it is as attacking a lineup as Ferguson could muster"

No it's fucking not. Look at it again you goofy prat.

 

[near]

I want Harry sacked. Bloody cunt.

 

[Carbonox]

Can Fulham cause Tottenham to drop points??!?!??!?!?!

Fulham are more than capable of pulling off a victory against Spurs. If we can beat Everton, we can still get 4th. Heck, we can still get 3rd if West Brom beat Arsenal.

 

[GorillaJu]

If Man City's team is soooo superior to Manchester United's how come they can only draw level on points with United for the entire season, all whilst United had over half there first choice team out injured for half the season?

Because they beat you by 5 goals at your home stadium. And they play nicer looking football, and Mancini is a suave, silver-mained Italian in a classy overcoat.

 

[Cobano]

Thank you Villa, thank you City

 

[Vivalaraza]

8 used to be my lucky number.

Not anymore.

 

[Awesome Animals]

Please tell me more.

I don't need to. You tell us enough already. Gtfo

 

[Arnie]

:lol

This is so bad Arnie. You can do better than that...

There's really no need though. I could post a picture of Yaya Toure and I'd get a few of you riled up.

 

[K1LLER7]

Who do you support?

Yeah he is excellent. Worthy of any club that signs him.

Man United

 

[Lunchbox]

I noticed that too. If only we had another great midfielder to sell to United. Well I think we do, but I need to see if he can make a bigger impact next season.

now that carlos queiroz is gone, we are done buying quality players from you

we only buy ashley youngs now. gotta keep up with liverpool in securing british talent

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

I can't express how relieved I am right now, We deserved to lose third after our last few games.

 

[Keio]

West Brom could beat Arsenal at home for Roy. Tottenham home against Fulham? Anything can happen.

Don't give up hope, Newcastle for Champions League!

 

[Phoenix Fang]

Because they beat you by 5 goals at your home stadium. And they play nicer looking football, and Mancini is a suave, silver-mained Italian in a classy overcoat.

Don't forget the scarf.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

I don't see the point of doicare. What is he trying to prove?

 

[doicare]

Maybe because City was also missing key players? Especially during the ACN, but keep using the "OMG WE HAVE INJURIES" excuse.

Except the problem is those players were only missing for a couple of games where as Man United's players were out for significantly longer, so nope you're wrong.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Chicharito preparing his spirit bomb.

 

[Kyoufu]

Man United

 

[Vivalaraza]

There's really no need though. I could post a picture of Yaya Toure and I'd get a few of you riled up.

You may aswell just skip right to the end of the argument and post the Gerrard5.jpg picture tbh.

Don't give up hope, Newcastle for Champions League!

Aye, not all over just yet.

 

[Ashes]

Alright Utd. The title is realistically gone, but if they're gonna be crowned, at least, let's go out in a blaze of glory.

 

[Lightning]

Villa held off Spurs! yes!

but still, after being shitty for the past few games, Arsenal is still at 3rd? damn, we NEED to win against WBA next week!

Yeah, we're in the shit next week against west brom but at least we have a chance and our fate is in our hands. Can't ask for more than that.

I can't express how relieved I am right now, We deserved to lose third after our last few games.

Oh yeah, I breathe a sign of relief right now as I had no confidence in Villa. One more game to hang on.

 

[Clegg]

8 used to be my lucky number.

Not anymore.

8 is also Andersons number.

So it's a useless number.

 

[FlyingTeacup]

well... two massive bullets dodged, arsene.

Yeah, we're in the shit next week against west brom but at least we have a chance and our fate is in our hands. Can't ask for more than that.

west brom is one of those games.

 

[flyover]

Fulham are more than capable of pulling off a victory against Spurs. If we can beat Everton, we can still get 4th. Heck, we can still get 3rd if West Brom beat Arsenal.

Fulham aren't nearly so good away from home -- especially scoring -- but now that BAE and Rose are both out and Walker has a broken toe (but is playing), Spurs are more vulnerable.

 

[mxgt]

I really dislike Villa

Fucking parking the bus with a man advantage, sickening.

 

[GorillaJu]

Heading up to the loft to watch the game on my iPhone and fall asleep when it gets too boring, but know that I'll be lolling in spirit if United drop points.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Does Cisse still have that goal/red card record. His goal today could be massive for QPR.

 

[Kyoufu]

Arsenal are so lucky that we had some UNICEF fixtures.

3 games in 8 days against the likes of Chelsea and City. We have Everton away next.

Arsene you got lucky.

 

[doicare]

I don't need to. You tell us enough already. Gtfo

No really please tell me more, you're so insightful

 

[Arnie]

You may aswell just skip right to the end of the argument and post the Gerrard5.jpg picture tbh.

 

[Salazar]

Jones can't fucking cross.

 

[flyover]

well... two massive bullets dodged, arsene.

After City, Arsenal are the biggest winners of the day.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

Yup, Feyenoord fan. Yeah it was a ... weird match. But the circumstances were weird too.

Joining the financial debate of the PL, Feyenoord beeing qualified for CL play-offs is even more amazing couse they were near bankrupt!

Believe!

 

[Sage00]

 

[Willkiller]

Arsenal are so lucky that we had some UNICEF fixtures.

3 games in 8 days against the likes of Chelsea and City. We have Everton away next.

Arsene you got lucky.

It's far from over yet. Both Fulham and West Brom are more than capable of pulling off results against Spurs and Arsenal!

BELIEVE.

 

[offshore]

Jones can't fucking cross.

Jones can't do anything, amirite.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

After City, Arsenal are the biggest winners of the day.

Yep, can't believe we're so lucky. :lol

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Ugh, Jones. Why why why, Fergie?

 

[flyover]

It's like he saw something horrifying on the back of Mancini's head.

 

[Vivalaraza]

 

[Splatt]

Mancini cold as ice after Yaya's miss :lol:

 

[Meier]

Haha that cracked me up. Can't remember which one that was..it wasn't the Sergio near miss or Yaya slip. Mancini was notably pissed at the Kun one.
