Competition is poor? Not from City it's not. They don't have as many big names as in previous years, that's the extent of it. They function very well as a team at home and away.

Yeah. You get the silly mincer telt.

23 wins out of 30 games. They're on course for the highest PL tally ever since it was cut to 20 teams.

More to do with the general quality in midfield than having a designated defensive midfielder. They've got on just fine without a defensive midfielder for years. Nah, man. 3 Champions League finals from the previous 4 seasons is crap. THEY NEED TIOTE!

Aye, and how it hurts them every game. 12 Premier League titles and 2 Champions Leagues without a player of Tiote's type suggests otherwise.

And a picture of Cisse celebrating a goal. Wankers.

There on course for over 90 points without playing a defensive midfielder. No reason to change that, especially not for Cheick Tiote.

Man U won't go anywhere near.

Certainly Tiote. Nervous about Ba though. I still don't know who'd pay the required sum for Tiote. Chelsea or Liverpool at a push, but I'd still be very surprised.

What are you banging on about? not that hard to figure out really is it Clearly.

I think that's why KI worded it so strongly.

Average is the wrong word.

CB, LB, CM would be perfect.

We also finished below Blackburn. I think Shearer's actions in the last 18 months of his playing tenure hurt us, beginning with his pact with Souness to get our best player out of the club. Anyway, been said before. It was a good season overall. Just think it's a misrepresentation to suggest he extended his playing time for reasons other than his own selfish ones.

Did he say that?

To our detriment.

Bolton will win that game.

If that's actually an agent he's a complete and utter idiot who's just destroyed his credibility and his business.

He spent nearly £7m on the worst footballer I've seen play for us in the Premier League. That crime was far worse.

I couldn't watch them. Most of my mates down here are Bolton fans and they always say the football under Allardyce was basically effective but predictable and ugly.

See? There is a sense of humour in there somewhere.

It's a self-portrait.

:lol:

Pards is a man of men. He'll do it.
