Kevin Davies is shit imo. Always seems to be hyped as an underrated effective target man type who deserves a chance with England. He's all elbows and no ability, aswell as simply not scoring many goals. Would rather have Heskey back tbh.

I'd rather Vuckic played than Nolan tbh.

You're right, Cambiasso is the best. He's just an outright brilliant allround defensive midfielder and on pitch example-setter. De Jong (and the others) should maybe watch him play and learn a thing or too. To be honest, I doubt they care too much to make an effort.

Michael Essien, Mikel Obi, Mascherano, Sergio Busquets, Cambiasso, Alou Diarra, Lassana Diarra, Mahamadou Diarra, This is a (very small) list of players that often do the same job on the pitch without breaking people's legs. He's an overly reckless player, and I genuinely do not understand why he is not punished for this. Exactly. All of those players comfortably play that role without damaging opponents, they all time their challenges and are disciplined players.

De Jong does this all the time though. His job is to pass the ball sideways and tackle hard. He was sent out to get stuck in to our most talented and threatening player, I have absolutely no doubt it.

Definitely. Atleast the proper Man U fans seem reasonable. I was reading their forum before and they're actually saying the same things we are - they have a thread about the more frequent occurence of broken legs, so it's not just the bias against City behind it. Reading the City board just makes me feel sick, absolute bunch of classless pricks.

Classless mongs.

CB is our best position, we have 4 solid PL players there plus a promising younster in Kadar. Even if Williamson was only good enough to be 4th choice (debatable), he's definitely the least of our worries.

Pathetic our selection of RBs like. What is wrong with this country ffs.

Wouldn't that be the Elite squad?

Davies, SWP, Green ffs That squad is an abortion.

Kevin Davies.

Surely there is no way we'll let him go permanently...

The cynicist in me thought straight away he'd only been called in to cap-tie him in the Faroes game. Put an end to the talks of Bosnia nabbing him.

What a fucking legend.

I posted his selection 3 days ago, ahead of the game.

The difference is Arsenal have a legion of talented players waiting in reserve. We've had our one big hope for the season snapped in half and have probably been thrown deeper into a relegation battle because of it.

I'm glad someones bringing a sense of realism and common sense to this thread. Sorry. Thought it was a bit creepy like, that's all.

Strangely me too, just one of them games where i've genuinly felt like s**** afterwards. Life was great in the championship... Definitely this. Everything about today left me completely deflated. Just as bad as Villa for me.

Shit I actually just remembered this. I played Man City - Newcastle yesterday as my first game on FIFA11. Ben Arfa went off injured after about 10 minutes of the game. I quit and started again out of frustration, if only we could have done that today...

Ilicic for Palermo, what a bargain he looks.

Just saw this post after reading through the thread. Pretty much sums it up for me.

What I was thinking also.

Ganning to bed now like, fucking too pissed off.
