Still his skill on the ball makes him one of the best strikers in the EPl

The way he behaves makes him one of the biggest dicks in the league and overshadows any natural talent he might have.

Haters gonna hate. What can I say?

Yup.

And glory hunters opinions are irrelevant.

I'll be sure to remember that when people are hating on a thug like Henry or Dejong for cheating by breaking his leg.

Norwich didnt deserve anything, end of story.
 
Here we go again by the "United got lucky" BS that haters always spout.

Hey, Mr. delusional, the language of football is winning. The fact of the matter is, United won, Norwich got nothing, and whatever you [or anyone else] might say, the result is what it is.

Yeah but they got lucky..
 
We were lucky to get a win against Wolves, I'll say that.

3rd in the premier league

Newcastle really do have a tasty looking squad. Cabaye and Tiote look like they'll dominate the midfielod. Though they really need another striker or two, left back and right winger unless Obertan seriously improves.
 
We've been very lucky that Best and now Ba have stepped up to the plate in the absence of any major activity in terms of filling our striker gap. Excited about Sammi Ameobi as well, seems a really nice, humble guy who's grateful for his opportunity to play for the club and knows he has to work hard and keep his feet on the ground. The polar opposite of Nile Ranger, basically.

Thing is, in spite of our league position, I don't actually think we've played that well. In fact one of our best performances was the draw against Villa. Don't know of that's something to worry about, that our luck may run out, or if its a good thing that we're capable of getting points even when we're not clearly the better side over the course of the game. After all, its a results business.

On a purely petty local rivalry level, its delightful to see the way the season's gone so far after hearing all close season about how those "green mags" must be sick to see Sunderland "setting the transfer window alight" and buying champions league winners while we were apparently buying French nobodies. Even now they keep going on about how they've got the much better squad on paper, how our players are shit and "just work hard" as if that's some form of cheating.

I really hope this season goes as well as it has started
Adam Johnson's goal was fucking awesome.

You should not be so defense minded with 2 CDMS

Mancini should use

Dzeko/Balotelli-Aguero
Adam Johnson-Nasri-Silva
Yaya Toure

Mancini has always been a defensive manager :/ Last season he ruined us by never attacking , at least he has changed his views on how to play, before him City was known as a strong attacking team and now we have a very strong attacking force as well as a well rounded defence we should be able to push forward without worrying

Yeah but Adam Johnson needs more time.. that guy is a true talent, I have seen him whenever he plays and his pace and ball skills are great, he can cross, shoot from range.A great winger IMO

Anybody got FIFA 12?
 
I've gone for a draw but I think, if anything, spurs will edge it. Adebayor will either score or get sent off.
 
Adebayor to score first
Arteta minutes later
Then RVP before the break
Walcott early second half
RVP at the death
Spurs to miss a penalty
