You can cherry pick whichever statistics you want. Another one is that there has been at least 1 English teams in 5 of the last 6 European Cup finals. And most English teams treat the Europa League like a total inconvenience these days so what you're saying proves very little. No it doesn't. Prove it hat English teams treat it as nothing. As this season both Liverpool and city got knocked out playing their full teams. Those champs league statistics shows dominance of top 4 especially man utd in that time. Fact is though, the premiership is not the full hurrah many think it is. It is one of the best but it isn't certainly the standout league many think it is. Again you're choosing to ignore certain things, such as how ridiculously dominant Barcelona and Real Madrid now are in the Spanish league. The top 6 in England is pretty f***ing good if you ask me. Barcelona are just streets ahead of anyone at the minute though. Yes but again you are just looking at the stats regarding the champs league. The uefa cup for me is a measure of how the league is past the top 4. Real and barca are dominant, but so have Chelsea and Man Utd for which has passed some people by. What is the record of 3rd & 4th in La Liga in the CL? So your basing the strength of La Liga on the clubs that finish 5th, 6th & 7th in that league & then how well they do in the Europa/UEFA cup. Barca & Real blast through that league like Rangers & Celtic do the SPL. While on about the SPL both Rangers & Celtic have got to two recent Europa finals while no teams from France or Holland have is the SPL better than Ligue 1 & Erasdivse? Also you do realise the year Atlético Madrid beat Fulham in the final it was because they got knocked out the CL early doors. You already know the answer to that question

Ben Arfa has never delivered though,ever since he was about 17 he has had the reputation of 'potential or 'one for the future' and has it all to prove still and if the reports are true about his injury then the jury is out even more. I realise it's not right too praise SAFC players on here but Sessegnon has done more in 5 month than Ben Arfa has done in a year and I find it hilarious how certain people on here take great delight in trying to slag Sessegnon off despite him doing far more in England than Ben Arfa has. We will see next season then but I'd be willing to stake large cash on Sessegnon outperforming Ben Arfa on goals and assists. I thought you Mackems were meant to be as passionate and knowledgeable about football as us, except you just had to put up with belonging to a proper hangin' city and football club? Unless you're horrific patter is just an exception to the rule?

Great Game

Brad Inman's curl is horrific

Which Mike Ashley will do without hesitation the moment any serious bid comes in. Oh, and we're getting relegated next season. And the club will go bust the season after that. And then the rapture will happen for real. And none of us will make it. Start the helicopter! If we go down again I'll cause the fucking rapture!

I reckon Rondon is our man

Colo handled both him and Torres very easily

I can't understand some peoples ease of acceptance towards letting Barton & Nolan go. I'm sure everyone agree's they need upgrading, they are both at the wrong end of their 20's and limited already. However, replacing performers with unknowns will probably see us tumble fast enough to not realise the potential in any replacements signed, leading to yet another untimely upset. There's no denying in the past 3 seasons we have come to appreciate, if we didn't already, the positive influence on performances squad cohesion has, and how often, it is bigger contributing factor to the sum of parts. It is certainly not the time to be making such gambles with such uncertainty ahead. We need to hold on to as many givens as possible, and in my opinion keeping attitudes like Barton and Nolans as a big part of our team are an absolute must.

Toodlepip

I heard its about 6 and a half inches

Let us know when you've made a decision. I'm on fuckin tentahooks.

Fucking Journal and Chronicle contradicting each other on the same day

I thought it was, I wasn't biting at the picture, it was their fucking comments

Had to post this. A Mackem mate posted the below picture which started the below below feed which I had to get myself involved in. I simply can't understand their deluded sentiments? Am I missing something? Like surely they know they are shite. Like shit city, players..everything. Anyway, I couldn't help biting back..

That's where we're meeting N'Zogbia

Tevez's free kick was shit hot

Weeeey

Owen had any hint of a club for next year yet?

Owen looked gutted when he saw Evett turn that in

Jason Roberts. Odious, over confident big mouth.

So, what, we thought we'd play s**** to even things up? For what it's worth, I thought we were good value for a lead at HT. They were f***ing woeful at the back. They disappeared for a good while and Barton was moving the ball around CM like they weren't there. I thought we were good for the lead, they were poor up until their first goal.

Twitpic?
