shouldnt they have waited a bit closer to thw window so AP doesnt have to keep saying he is doubtful every week?!

Im really tired of this 'Best runs more and will batter the opposition more' argument. Not sure about you lot, but I pay a hell of a lot of money to be entertained. Not to watch Best used as a battering ram (and stand offside on multiple occasions). One of the main reasons i like HBA and want him to do so well is because he entertains. We clearly want to play good exciting football, then if thats the case you need him in your team and either Best or Ba to move over. Ba is in form so it has to be Best for me.

I dont think he's mental, he's just clearly an alcoholic.

Stunning.

You know what mate, and instead of bitching and calling you a sack, ill be honest. Do you not think there is a reason why everyone is jumping on you all of the time? And no, its not because everyone is a fan boy. You even have one of the Mods so frustrated that he was tempted to delete you. Do you really think that is down to him being a 'fan boy'? If you had of given your argument in a constructive way, like - 'You know what, Best and Obertan are back, i really would like to stick with that team as it went unbeaten blah blah.... ' But instead, you come in the thread after a few days, knowing full well that there has been a lot of positivity around after his performance and say 'he had his chance and he blew it, he needs to be dropped'. Its comments like that, that get peoples backs up. And its pretty clear you do it to get people to bite. He didnt blow his chance, he had a decent game and you know this. Now how about trying to be constructive instead of just being a grade A tool??

CT is such a fucking sack.

I think Spurs will get 4th. They look juicy.

pretty much everywhere shows and freely advertises the fact the games are on.

Ronaldo is going to be livid when he reads this.

Hatem Ben Arfa Man City Into YT, shows some clips from yesterday. Compare them to his previous games this season, its clear he is getting better and better. Great to see.

Mental that you wouldn't play Ben Arfa after today. Pardew's already said that he'll be playing nowhere but up top. If he's not gonna play down the wing... and Best's fit... then he loses his place as far as i'm concerned. Fucking hell. The mighty Leon Best.

You said we'd get anihilated today too. Didnt really happen like that though. Obliterated. Didnt really happen like that though?

Didnt see, but he was slapping hands with people on the bench so dont imagine he was in a huff.

The game panned out pretty much was everyone expected. If you gift them three goals though then you give yourself no chance. However, i was really impressed with us. We started coming into it at about 35 minutes, started getting out, then the two mistakes. Same second half, got at them and should have pulled one back. Heads up though, lets do the same at Man United. They arent as good as Citeh.

Still trying to get his fitness i guess. Was his best game for us since his come back. Ball retention was very good, obviously his ball for Ba and his run when he hit the post. His touch is getting better. He is slowly getting there. Anyone with any sense would have said we needs to give him 15-20 games, so i pleased. I still got a text off someone saying 'he doesnt work hard enough'.....

Not a chance.

This could be the best thing for him though. If he comes through this with a decent performance, might be the kick start he needs...

Ive been pretty chilled about this game, no lose situation. Nervous as fuck now.

Interesting comments And the second part -

Yes. Get this man out of our club now. Nah, I thought it was interesting that he was not only supportive of the stadium name change but more to the point that he wasn't arsed about the negative publicity it's brought. That's if he's portraying his true feelings and not just being a wise old silver fox / slippery jellied eel of course. "I can see both sides of the argument..." is mild support at best. He's been leaned on by Llambias to carry the water and this is what they got IMO. He was never going to say anything other than that though was he. Majority of managers in the league would say the exact same thing.

Pardew has said he will never play out wide for him. He also said Carroll won't be sold, that we'd sign a striker in the last few weeks of the summer etc etc. If s*** hits the fan and we end up with two strikers who are both doing well but without a right winger, he'd be utterly daft not to play him there. Aye, its exactly the same

Pardew has said he will never play out wide for him.

Not a chance Santon will start on the right.
