You think so? I think they will make the big four. They have impressed me more than Liverpool have. Plus don't forget that the points they lost were points most of the big teams would lose. Old Trafford and Villa Park especially.

also, City don't need value for money. They can afford to keep buying until (on paper at least) they have the best team in the world. Certainly at this stage they've changed the big 4 to a big 5. and whoever's 5th gets shafted

I disagree, just buying a bunch superstars doesn't make it a big 5, they need time to find a system and integrate all these new players, then give them time to gel together, even when they were the richest club, Chelsea's ability to create such a successful team so quickly was quite remarkable

it definitely does make a big 5 in the sense of 5 clubs that have a much greater ability to bring in the big stars and compete in europe. They've been smarter than most people give them credit, buying players that have experience in the EPL, which has helped the team gel a lot faster than I expected.
Chelsea weren't really that fast anyway, considering how much they spent before bringing in Mourinho, but it was only once he arrived that they started winning things. I wouldn't be surprised if Man city break in to the top 4 this year, and challenge for the title next year.

Well, In the first hear under clidrio screderi they won at least one if not two trophies and that might have been before droogbah or any major players, other than mucklooloo and muttwho

I read that the ref in the Liverpool game has been punished and will not referee EPL match in the coming weekend, but instead a championship match.


Thing is Pool cant turn the clock back nor get the points they lost because of the balloon. Why not make a rematch then?

I know, but that wasnt the point. The ref was "relegated" :lol: because he allowed something what wasnt allowed. He influenced the match. But club doesnt win anything from this situation. In fact it makes it look worse for the FA. Ref f--ked up, they ADMIT it, punish the referee. If i would be pool fan id gather a group together and go in front of the FA house and run riot.

Poor game between Fulham and Hull. Hull came to park the bus, but their defense has beyond laughable all season, so it didn't matter in the end. 2-0 Fulham.

Duff is still a quality player. :tup:
