Although tbf, the Prem is virtually unwatchable this season aside from our Title race with City.

Spurs are in decline (5th place at best now imo)
Arsenal are coming good now all the pressure's off (although they'll bottle it when they play City of course)
Chelsea & Liverpool are having awful seasons.

The rest is just one big relegation, mediocrity scrap.

The league has lost a lot of top players in recent years, Henry, Ronaldo, Robben, Carvahlo for example, then you have the likes of Essien, Terry, Gerrard, Lampard, Rio, Giggs and Scholes at Utd, players who were the best in the league over a long period of time and they are all beyond their best years.

Who are the world class players in their prime playing in the prem? Rooney/Van Persie/Silva/Mata/Yaya Toure/Aguero/Bale. Decent list but a few of them still have a lot to prove and only Rooney has the trophies to back up his claims.

Newcastle have a solid side, disaster of a goal they have just conceded but they are at a good age to develop if they can keep the side together, maybe add a quality defender to play beside Collocini.

i just said the same in a text pol

great minds

Tevez, Vidic, Kompany. Granted one of the city players hasn't featured much. Kompany is excellent Ashley cole is one of the latter, really declined in the last year, you'd wonder how much the pair of clowns inside him, whichever 2 of them are picked, affect his game!


Fair comment though, but same for most of the leagues outside Spain!

Ashley Cole's doing DP now is he? And with guys in make-up?

Disgusting.

Mata is a fantastic player with a great feel to the flow of a game. Badly used at times at Chelsea. Far better through the middle - or at least drifting in - than out wide.

Of that list, I don't get Aguero Technically brilliant but just seems to walk staring into middle distance and looking pensive.

dont get me wrong, hes lovely to watch :gayfight: etc and definitely quality technically, I just dont see him as a match winner when it comes to the crunch.

This fat slug is so far up city's arse, it's astonishing. 75% of his articles are on city and 50% of those are crying about financial fair play rules.

I think that between Newcastle and Arse, city will drop at least 2 points (I said the same about Chelsea and Stoke). Their away form is where they could suffer.

of course none of this matters unless we win all of our remaining games. History says we will drop minimum 2, not included the city game. could be a goal difference decider.

Thought he talked a lot of sense, as did fat platt. this mind games nonsense is something to push newsprint.

Only part I really disagree is where he says newcastle's defence cost them the league. Wrong. Cantona did.

Oh and Rafa of course. He lost the £#%&!ing plot. Fergie got well into his head.
