  1. 5 league titles in 6 seasons for 1 club is piss poor man. People like City winning because they have a small fan base. But it makes the league hollow when a hollow team dominates. They’ll be better next season too. When they have ‘off’ seasons they need to not win the league.
  2. No it’s not. 96 isn’t even the biggest bottle job. Man U were something like 7 points clear with 5 games to go and lost it to City. Lost to Wigan. City. 4-4 draw against Everton did them in.
  3. He’s quick. Strong. A finisher. And has the sniff. Dribbler, great presser But vision, passing.. just general play he’s limited. Ramsdale with some massive saves.
  4. Still in control of their own destiny.
  5. Aye he’s been brilliant but that was so poor. He’s devastated.
  6. Such an awful dive. He needs to get his foot on the ball.
  7. My point is - it doesn’t really work well in changing the game states. Like Man U’s subs killed the game for them it just disrupted their flow
  8. It’s most useful when you are 2 or 3 up and want to save a players legs.
  9. Apart from Real Madrid vs Chelsea - I haven’t seen many examples of a 4th or 5th sun coming on and making a big impact to swing a tie.
  10. Vieira was the most unfair sacking imo. To replace him with Roy? It’s a travesty. Obviously i hope they stay up but they deserve to be relegated for that alone.
  11. I don’t think any Fergie side won 5 from 6. And not with this level of ‘competition’.
  12. I would never want a team that is not us to win 5 league titles out of the last 6 like Farmers league settings
  13. His all round game was never impressive to me. His link up was minimal. Didn’t drop deep. Didn’t run the channels especially. Wasn’t a dribbler or a passer. He was a pure finisher with good movement. Even when he was bad, he was pretty handy in the box. But when he was great, he wasn’t all that in general play. Ba was similar. But Ba was a harder worker, would try to hold it up a bit and run the channels. Ba could offer something when he wasn’t scoring. Cisse didn’t. At his best Isak can do a bit of everything. I compared him to Berbatov another person compared him to Kanu. These are skilful, link up, number 10 like forwards who drop deep and ball. He’s also a runner and a dribbler committing defenders and play on the shoulder like a Henry.
  14. For someone so aggressive off his line he’s not very good with his feet. It’s that bravery which makes him a much better player than the likes of Dubs who is glued to his line.
  15. Not seen much of Schade until yesterday. He had us on the ropes first half.
  16. Really want Arsenal to win today and the league.
  17. From YouTube I could tell that he had tel talent. With one good goal scoring season and one poor one it could go either way. But early on I saw the composure and clean technique when striking balls. By Fulham - I was sold. Never seen a Newcastle forward with such ability since Shearer
  18. I love Zaha but he doesn’t seem to have the work rate of an Eddie Howe winger.
  19. Rice Salary demands will be in excess of 200k per week. While he’s class. He’s not worth more than Bruno per week.
  20. The comparisons keep evolving for me. I was all in on Titi a few weeks ago. I’m thinking now a Berbatov and Henry hybrid.
  21. But we were in great form and team on the up. A team like Fulham is mid table and in poor form. It’s them and Chelsea that you want to be playing.
  22. I’m not mad at him. But it is weird. He didn’t get subbed for poor performance. He got subbed to waste time.
  23. Even as a sub, it’s weird for any attacking player to be upset at being subbed in the 93rd minute as your team is defending for their lives
