and Shola

From bits I've seen of him he seems likes a mix of Sigurdsson (similar build, languid style of movement and his technique in striking the ball) crossed with Kevin Nolan's goalpoaching from that sort of advanced midfield position. Slightly less technical than Sigurdsson but more mobile than Nolan maybe. I wasn't expecting a special footballer but somebody competent technically who can chip in with goals at various ranges.

So what do City need in the final game to go through?

Out of contract in the summer

Unbelievable luck for Man City. They'll get through now.

Is this the year Villa go down

Transfermarkt normally does but I can't seem to get it to load. Their website has been shite since they updated it: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/newcastle-united/gastarbeiter/verein/762 edit: this is the 3 NE clubs as of March this year using transfermarkt, it includes some reserve players who were only part of squads and never actually played though: http://uploaded.net/file/wa7ssfsx Used it to make part of this infographic: http://uploaded.net/file/45h1ecib

2 caps for Senegal two years ago

Valencia is one of the best stadiums I've been to like. Defo top 5.

No

Great goal that tbf

It's also full of utter jobbers

Torres is so bad at the football

Depay is brilliant and expensive. Zero chance.

There is no way somebody as creepy as Rodgers could actually be good. Carried by Suarez.

Maradonna is the best ever. Not as good as the very similarly named Maradona imo

He worked hard and set up the winner. I'm not sure he was great though, I couldn't believe he didn't go off when Cabella did because he looked (as usual) knackered. Fair play to him though for the winner. I'm still not convinced by him at all, but I have to say I like him a hell of a lot more than other supposedly better players we've had over the years. He's likeable, an academy product and he does good things.

I thought he was good yesterday.

Doo doo doo

Why was Pardew talking up Zamora before the game? Fuck me the bloke is practically a cripple. Awful.

Loaned to Hartlepool

There is an astonishing myth permeated by himself and many that he 'stuck around' when we went down and pulled us back up. Rather than the fact he was damaged goods (for a number of reasons) on stupid wages and he only started 8 games in a 46 game season.

Whelan is a prime example showing you don't have to be particularly bright to make money. He's genuinely thick as fuck.
