At this point it's difficult to see how city loses the title. United will continue to muddle through and will likely still have enough for top 4, although that is no guarantee. Spurs look strong but are due dip by the end of the year. Gunners are a RVP injury away from no goals and Chelsea still have Terry and Luiz in defense. We have to start scoring goals pronto. 4th is there for the taking. It's going to be a wild ride.
I think its a gee-up but its still worth a smile Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas orders players to involve him in goal celebrations
While we struggle to score, the scum arew taking their frustrations on Wolves. Won't get them back in the CL though.
So it looks like 1-0 to the Arsenal but a loss for the Geordies, which means we move above them on GD.
Puts us in 6th, just wonder how the arse are ahead of us with their start this season. Spurs are a bugger with 5 points and 2 games in hand on us.
Breaking News: Apparently beating Wolves completely makes up for being knocked out of the UCL by a Swiss League team.
More wins than draws. I laughed when Everton took off Saha for Distin in the last 30 minutes and promptly conceded. Take that you negative sods.
I know we're biased, and Suarez is ********ing amazing...but Andres Iniesta could be better than every other player in the world. Barca's 3-1-3-3 system is looking good as well...and it's only going to get better with time.
He could be. That's why I hate it when people say Ronaldo is the second best player in the world. I'd take Don Andres over him any day of the week.
There are few areas of play in which Iniesta is really better than Ronaldo. Barca and Spain are in amazing form but take a couple pieces away and things look a bit different if you ask me... Messi 1a and Ronaldo 1b as far as I'm concerned.
Those few areas are huge though. Technical ability, dribbling, long passes, short pass, vision, ability to control the tempo of the match. And he always raises his game for the big matches.
But Cvnt Ronaldo is so much better at diving, whining, and fancy step overs that lead nowhere that he must be a great player.
When has Ronny ever done it when it counted? Messi turned the game back in Barca's favor and Ronny had no response.
Iniesta is quality for sure. But Messi is the best I've ever seen. He is scoring at a rate I can scarcely believe. Dixie Dean stuff but in the modern day. He's not even a frickin' striker either! Van Persie is scoring at an amazing rate in 2011 but Messi has scored at a rate of about a goal a game for about the last 130 games!!! In 40 years from now Zidane and Maldini will tell their great grandchildren that yes they saw Messi play.
I never saw Dixie Dean play (Yes, I know!) but my granddad played left back with him that season and left Dixie with all those tap ins.....Sort of Iniesta style..... Must be nice to have players like Barca, not just outstanding individual players but know how to work with and mind meld with the rest of the squad.
Down two, both from Etherington on a pitch where you can see its been downsized from the Europa size pitch. Come on Stoke
Thrilling stuff at Stoke, as Spurs get their first loss since August. Stoke was aided by a couple of poor non-calls from the ref, but they put in an enormous effort.
STOKE WIN 2-1. That is one of the games in hand dropped. Gareth Bale looks like he hails from some in bred valley in Wales where every one has pointed ears and thick eyebrows. Imagine what the women look like
Well done, Stoke! And yes, its finally revealed that Bale is actually Spock's love child. Who can guess the mother?
