Some half decent games in today, and we're spoiled with seven games kicking off at the right time - 3pm.

Arsenal need a win to keep their top 4 status going but the other end of the table is probably where the main interest is today
 
I wont but Jeff Stelling will try to tell you that West Ham have 42 pts and that's an outstanding achievement from Big Sam - honest, he said that.
 
But they hired Harry?

And he's a great manager and managers make all the difference?

I'm confused
 
Delighted if Wigan go down as well. I quite like Di Canio and his fist pumping antics.
 
If Mark Hughes ever gets a decent management job again I'll be amazed, given a huge wad of cash at a London club to build himself an entire team and he buys a load of meh.

If Harry had spent that money and had them the entire season they'd be top half / mid table, fact.

So its either the one or the other then? Either you're trolling your arse off or you're a bit clueless when it comes to footy.
 
So City are dominating Spurs here and Bale has been shite.
Good finish by Nasri too.
Nastasic looks a class act again.

I've always said managers have no magical ability to make a squad of players better than they are.

You, and a whole host of others continue to believe that they do - so when I point out the evidence it's not trolling. It's showing you, again, that conventional wisdom in football is sheer idiocy. Most clubs realise it at this point, but fans seem to be light years behind.

You'd actually know more about football if you started with no knowledge and made sensible observations based on the evidence in front of you rather than be 'educated' in the traditional thinking and constantly refer to it as if it means something.

People said Swansea would be fucked without Rodgers, likewise Spurs would be fucked without Harry - amazingly with the squads being largely the same (albeit both sold their best player- another conventional wisdom no no) they've done largely what they did last year.
Chelsea's points average under Rafa is virtually the same as it was under Di Matteo this season - despite the fact that 90% of this site thinks he's a magician and Di Matteo is clueless. And that 90% will continue to believe that regardless of what evidence is put before them.
 
Only point I agree with is that managers doesn't have magical ability*. Rest is pretty much nonsense.

*Apart from that French national manager perhaps.
 
Anyone pick up on te comment about Holtby?

"He's settled in well for a foreigner." "Well, I suppose he's not *that* foreign, is he."

Fuck me, is that cos he's white & has an Anglo saxon sounding name perchance? Racist much?

I have you in the same clueless category as Hansern so I don't really care what you think.
 
3-1 cunt face

silver lining I didn't bother taking him out of my fantasy football team when he got injured
 
That's player of the year wrapped up now.
City have really fallen apart in a bad way.
