Other football

[Tony Moanero]

Nope. That's part of the problem, its becoming all so predictable.

Becoming?

[FanchesterCity]

Navas has been a disappointment so far.

Negredo's been a revelation.

Demichelis is probably our version of your Toure... doing a job that needs doing, and doing it quite well.

 

I've no idea who will win the league this year... Something keeps telling me Arsenal really aren't that great, but they keep winning, and you can't really find fault with a team that are doing the business on the pitch.

Chelsea look vulnerable, much like City are, only City are better to watch. I'm worried City might be a mild version of Keegan's Newcastle though.

 

And then there's that lot down the road. The will creep up slowly, there'll be 12 games to go and they'll be in the running somehow...

 

I do fear that the longer Arsenal keep going, the more their confidence will grow and they'll become yet harder to beat. In principle I wouldn't mind them winning the league, if only they'd have some humility. But they won't.

 

For that reason, I'll stick with us lot!... we're still in the 'how the fuck did this happen?' mode... rather than "we always knew we were destined to be great" bollocks.

 

course... I'm biased.

I think Navas is ace, just a shame that that sort of winger seems to be dying out with current systems played

[Newport]

Navas has been a disappointment so far.

Really? I think he has given you more width and pace, something you lacked last season. I really like how he plays. One of very few traditional wingers around these days.

[Newport]

If you think Mirallas was lucky last week, have a look at this snide cunt. Michiel Kramer only received a booking after this on Ajax keeper Jasper Cillessen during ADO Den Haag v Ajax.

[FanchesterCity]

Most City fans haven't been impressed so far. He's got lots of pace, but hasn't used it... he keeps coming inside and acting like Adam Johnson, rather than going round the outside - you know, knocking the ball past the left back and running around him.

 

That's not to say they think he's no good, simply that he's not delivered much yet, and we've possibly not worked out how to utilise him best either... but he's only been getting a look in due to Silva being injured.

 

Nasri's been putting in a proper shift this season. It's amazing really, the fans are singing his name now - due to the effort he's putting in. I like that. I'm convinced it makes a huge difference to players when the fans are on their side... but they need to realise that you have to work bloody hard to win over the fans.

 

I think Dzeko might be on his way in January.

 

Regarding pace though... City have been playing a a lot deeper of late, and breaking quickly. That's helped with the goals. Last season we got the Arsenal disease of trying to walk it into the net - and realising it's hard when teams have 10 men behind the ball.

 

I have to say though, Swansea played brilliantly today, and the scoreline doesn't reflect how hard it was for City. Swansea looked like Arsenal but without a strikeforce (today). Very impressed.

How many Liverpool players would get in a combined Liverpool/Southampton midfield do you think?

Coutinho and thats it.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Pulis and his Palace side one up against fat Sam. Had about 3 chances to score a second but blown it.

[Newport]

Pulis v Fat Sam, the game of football that would be last on your wishlist if you had the choice. Why the fuck aren't there any other games on tonight? There are far too many at the same time tomorrow.

Because 5 of the "big 6" played on Sunday and you need at least 2 days rest.

Sure, and we could have played on Saturday if they could plan better, there were enough games on Sunday anyway. And they didn't even have a 12.45 game last Saturday. If they had done so the following could have been played tonight:

Crystal Palace v West Ham

Stoke v Cardiff

Liverpool v Norwich

Arsenal v Hull

 

That's nearly half of the games so the matchday could be evenly distributed over two days, just like it should have been last weekend.

[Hades]

Fuck knows, maybe Tuesdays gets shit ratings and they didn't want any big games on tonight. I see no reason why we had to play on Sunday though.

[fowler9]

Well my accumulator went well tonight,,,,,

 

West Ham

Blackpool

Leicester

Rangers

[Strontium]

Arsenal playing their reserves against Hull and already 1-0 up. Inevitable.

[Batigol]

Hazards scored two great ones tonight.

[J-V]

Shite beat the Mancs

[Brigant Moloch]

bitters will be confused after winning against mancs for sure. First everotn win at toilet for moyes!

[robslappa]

Moyes finally gets to see the shite win at Old Trafford.

[Lario]

Ha!

Moyes never did it in all is time with the shite, and Martinez does it first time 'round. Brilliant.

 

Whisper it quietly though, Martinez is doing a fucking good job.

[Phoenix]
