Nine goals in his first 8 games for Papiss Cisse, going to have to get me some of that goat curry he eats, that and Demba Ba's strawberry syrup is clearly concentrated goal juice.

Newcastle defended very well/parked the bus in goal. And we lacked penetration up front. Probably didn't help out top two goalscorers were on the bench.

I read at some part in the game the possession was 80% (!!!) for Swansea, 20% for Newcastle. And still Newcastle won?!

They had the ball a lot, but weren't really doing much with it. We were already winning so if they wanted to make ten passes in their own half as they slowly moved up the pitch, they were welcome to.

When the fuck did Chelsea become a big club?

I was talking to someone earlier about this and he was going on about how Chelsea were a big club. In fact I swear almost half the clubs in the English league system beleive they're a big club. For example why do West Ham fans actually believe they're some sort of sleeping giant?

I believe it's because they always make it far in champion's league. They're still the most boring team ever imo though... they have no kind of football style.

That's probably something to do with their ever-changing temporary caretakersmanagers. :ninja:

PS
Also, apparently the commentators/pundits thought it was more than fine to push someone, even if he was in an offside position. Yes, Young dove, but he was pushed, almost a yard away from the ball. Not one part of him touched the ball[they replayed it at halftime, zoomed in, and it was evident the ball wasn't touched until it got to the keeper] but the defender did, dive or not. Prob not a red, but to go on about it and ignore the fact that he was pushed, that's just pathetic.

It doesn't hide the fact this is still a weak Man Utd side (well weak for Man Utd). Domestically, I think they'll be fine. In Europe, I really do believe they have some issues. It'll be interesting what will happen next season when City bring in a new manager.

And probably at least 15 new world class players.

United need to strengthen in midfield regarding Europe. Cleverley etc are not quite ready just yet.

Man City can bring in whoever they want......but without the right manager, all those ego's are NEVER going to play as a team when the going gets tough.
The Man City job will become like the Chelsea managers merry go round....no one will touch it if they sack Mancini.

Money can't buy you happiness.....or titles it would appear!! :lol:
