And why the fuck doesn't he play Dzeko? He was killing the EPL at the beginning of the seaon.

Because the start of the season was the difinition of a purple patch. Dzeko has been dogshit almost every time he's played since what, November maybe?

 

[DangerousMali]

Sell Ramsey to Liverpool please

for 20 million

 

[Vivalaraza]

Kompany is class.

 

[Kyoufu]

I want to say this is justice for trying to buy the title but other clubs have bought their way into the top too so...

...UGH ANOTHER MAN UNITED LEAGUE WIN UGH

 

[K1LLER7]

Thank you arsenal, 8 points and ahead on goals

United been the most consistent team in PL, can't see us dropping these points.

^ Kyoufu never stop watching the PL

 

[Feorax]

for 20 million

35, and not a penny less.

 

[Igo]

Someone please gif the Ramsey miss. I was up making my dinner and missed it.

...UGH ANOTHER MAN UNITED LEAGUE WIN UGH

See you in ten years time then, right Kyoufu? ;-)

 

[dc89]

I can't see Mancini keeping his job. I want him too. But I can't see him.

Sheikh is on the phone begging Mourinho as we speak.

 

[MPW]

now pool has to win 3 epl tiles to overtake man utd ...... can king kenny do it?

 

[D4Danger]

Bringing Tevez back worked a treat...



...for Man United. pow!

 

[Messi]

Madrid next please?

 

[rodvik]

City not winning the title this season is nothing short of an utter disaster. This is the poorest Premier League for years and the way their season is going out with a whimper is pathetic.

Pretty much.

 

[Slizz]

Incredible. I couldn't have pictured such an epic meltdown for City. Like seriously as soon as Mancini did that interview regarding the last 10 games of the season City took a nose dive.

 

[Kyoufu]

See you in ten years time then, right Kyoufu? ;-)

Nah, if I leave again, Newcastle will get relegated

 

[Blablurn]

congratz to united gaf. well deserved!

 

[Fry]

The league has been so poor by it's standards it's unbelievable. Still entertaining as ever though.

 

[ElyrionX]

It was when Balotelli and Tevez were out. He has looked completely uinterested since they came back, specially Balotelli.

Plus, he's a complete confidence player and can't be trusted on solo games, he must play a couple in a row.

 

[Oxx]

Most of all they have let Drake down.

 

[Carbonox]

Fuck off City you impotent shit fucks. Bottle it during the run-in. Standard.

I honestly think we can get a win off them at home.

 

[dc89]

Kompany is class.

Yeah. Awesome player, character and captain.

 

[K.Jack]

Oh City. It seems like it was just yesterday, when you violated United by like six goals, and everyone handed you the title right then and there.

 

[Jburton]

Man City would not be anywhere near that title if not for the money, I am glad it was Arsenal, who spend next to nothing who have taken them out of the race.

It is a victory for football.


So happy, well done Man Utd.

 

[Manager]

What's so sad is that Mancini never learns. He'll rant in the post-match interview, blame it on something or someone and then say something stupid that is headline fodder, like always.

It's the Sven syndrome, who was exactly the same. And he mentored Mancini. They never have a plan B, they trust it all on plan A. It's what got Sven kicked and it may be what gets Mancini kicked. He has a very expensive squad but after teams figured his team out (specially Silva), he had no solution for it. No new tactic, no changes.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

So, that's the title race almost done and dusted. CIty look like the walking dead; a number of their key players are either lethargic or injured or named Mario Balotelli - Kompany, Hart and a few others being the exception.

This finish is the outcome of rotation. Fergie knows how to manage a squad across an entire season. Mancini appears to have fallen short.

Can't wait to seal it at the Etihad. Roll on the derby.

 

[Kyoufu]

Fuck off City you impotent shit fucks. Bottle it during the run-in. Standard.

I honestly think we can get a win off them at home.

I always thought we could. Our team is much better than it was when we last played them.

 

[Lunchbox]

Oh City. It seems like it was just yesterday, when you violated United by like six goals, and everyone handed you the title right then and there.

 

[DominoKid]

And that's why you don't leave him on. Too volatile.

He did last the 20 i wouldve given him. Cant believe mancini gave him more than that though.

 

[yogloo]

Arsenaallllllllllllllll!!!! Big win!!!!!!

 

[bud]

 

[Anderson]

Did our best not to win that but got the 3 points. Kinda feel for city as their football at the start of the season was breathtaking but they Utd got in their heads and have just crumbled

Brightside for city fans, they got limitless money to tweak the team til they get a league title, just a matter of time

He'll whinge about the size and balance of the squad, everyone will laugh

 

[Fry]

Am I seeing Ralph Fiennes?

 

[Ushojax]

I can't see Mancini keeping his job. I want him too. But I can't see him.

Sheikh is on the phone begging Mourinho as we speak.

Why would you want him to stay? He has bough some horrible players like Balotelli, Kolarov, Dzeko, etc and has indulged Mario to an absurd degree. His team has no pace in wide areas, have only one, predictable way to play and his ultra strict methods mean that players like Silva keep playing despite clearly being unfit. He has been rubbish in Europe as well. I don't see any reason to keep him.

 

[Manager]

Another ridiculous thing was how the whole left side was left exposed all match and Mancini didn't fix it until 80th minute. And he fixed it by putting on a left back for an attacking midfielder, completely killing the offense in a match he must win.

 

[sneaky77]

finally!!

LLorente!!!

Ath. Bilbao 1 - Sevilla 0 second half just started. Hopefully we don't let them back in the game now

worked for Chelsea


lol

 

[Rad-]

Nice job Arsenal. 8 points, oh yeahhhhh.

 

[Jburton]

now pool has to win 3 epl tiles to overtake man utd ...... can king kenny do it?

Not a chance, Kenny is the problem with Liverpool ..... a lot of Liverpool I spoken to don't think he is good enough to manage that club.

Great player, mediocre manager.

 

[Kyoufu]

Lolz. I will laugh if he sells the club and then they drift into mid-table.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

At this point they may be worried for their own jobs

 

[MPW]

Lolz. I will laugh if he sells the club and then they drift into mid-table.

that would be f'n hilarious

 

[ElyrionX]

It ain't over till it's over. But an eight point lead is certainly nice to have.

 

[Arsenal2022]

Honestly should have been 3-0 rather than 1-0, but we'll take the win .

City did play like utter dogshite today, the gulf between them and United is so clear. Well done on #20 I suppose, rather you than City.

 

[Carbonox]

Lolz. I will laugh if he sells the club and then they drift into mid-table.

And we can snap up Silva, Aguero and Kompany for a combined 50m.

Results could go our way tomorrow though. We could go joint 4th if Norwich beat Spurs and Fulham beat Chelsea, while we beat Bolton. Either way, Spurs and Chelsea don't have easy games there.

The team has generally no pace. And even so, Mancini plays it so safe that the team can't play risky passes and move quickly, resulting in killing off every single potential counter-attack.

There has been literally no counter-attack goal this season, or very few. Every time the ball is won the ball returns to the defenders, building up possession.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Can't wait for the 30th.

I'm aching for some payback.

 

[dc89]

Ironic. You don't want City to win the league but you're happy for United too?
As if they don't spend any money? Give me a break please.

 

[D4Danger]

It ain't over till it's over. But an eight point lead is certainly nice to have.

Man United won't Ramsey this now. it's over.

 

[Slizz]

Can't wait for the 30th.

I'm aching for some payback.

It'd be the perfect early b-day present for me.
