Loving people saying villa were robbed despite city being robbed of a clear peno

Aye, Ozil is brilliant.

Just as good if not better than Silva - who I feel is being incredibly overrated on here

Silva isn't in the same league Ozil at all. I'm sorry this opinion is outside of your usual hugbox but while Silva is good he is not at Ozil's level

David Silva is one of the premier league's greatest 'imports' to coin a phrase from Sky.

Mata and Ozil have nowhere near the same level of consistency as Silva over the last few years.

And aguero has been shit since Christmas

Agueros been shit, Rooney not really anything special. Same with Matic and Fabregas really, but that's more do with their position, they just do their job sort of thing.

Coutinho's been decent tbf, although he probably doesn't deserve to be in there.

Ozil is a far better player than Silva. When City raided Valencia they got the wrong player as they should have picked up Mata instead

Klopp is stepping down from Dortmund. Gonna go on a sabbatical.

And yeah he does normally have a point, but he has a moan at everything that isn't fan ownership. Can imagine him having a go at a club for using losses brought forward to cheat the Great British Taxpayer. Aston Villa today switched from Digestive biscuits to Jaffa Cakes in their press room in a disgusting tax avoidance scheme.

Also pisses me off how he always goes after easy targets. He's wrote loads of articles about Wonga, but only once they sponsored Newcastle. Hearts and Blackpool get a pass for some reason and acts like Wonga is destroying the North East. Newcastle has a far bigger problem with gambling and alcohol.

David Conn now moaning about clubs being owned overseas as they could be used for tax avoidance reasons. FFS. He was having a moan about clubs making a profit last week. No evidence whatsoever that there is any wrong doing.

Really fucking hate David Conn.

More just they don't seem to compete for players. - Hazard and Isco are the only two they seem to have lost. Yet willing to pay massive for their own targets.

seems weird how Man City don't seem interested in most established top players, like Sanchez, Ozil, Di Maria, Mata, Kroos, Thiago etc?

I thought Navas was lined up by Pellegrini before he officially signed, could be mistaken.

Fernando is pure shite. Even a guy who watched about 10 Porto games and a few YouTube videos could tell he was just not gonna suit the Premier League at all. Jovetic has been a massive failure (although that's his own fault really), Sagna hasn't exactly performed but I suppose he was a free.

Yaya is key in how shite we're performing. His lack of effort is dragging Dinho all over the place and dragging whoever is at CB out of defence and leaving massive gaps

Navas, Negredo and Demi were Pellegrini signings, I'm sure of that (Demi especially and that wasn't exactly a smooth transfer). He's also signed a lot of shite and Mangala is looking like a bit of a rip-off (especially with the 3rd party stuff), most of the spending cap went on him so it's not really an excuse

We shouldn't have to settle for that really. Essentially the biggest budget in the world and with his reputation and the money he's being paid we shouldn't have to settle for his record

City need to move on their average players, it's baffling how much money they can spend and how many players would you say are genuinely world class?

Aguero, Silva, Hart, Zabaleta?

Then there's Toure and Kompany who look like they've just downed tools for whatever reason.

People like Clichy, Navas, Mangala, Fernando are just not good enough. Unsure on Fernandinho as a top level midfielder, either. Milner is good but how many other top sides would he get in?

Zaba has been woeful this season.

We need a big overhaul of players and Txiki has shown he's not up to the job at all. Most of his signings have been terrible

Citys season has really collapsed

Mangala is absolutely awful, he's almost at Mamadou Sakho's level.

What's wrong with it?

Single-handedly? are you his publicist?

No he's a sarcasm salesman

In the league, 2-1 at Cagliari in early Feb, overall 2-1 at Feyenoord a few weeks ago.

Doesn't change anything though, absolutely pathetic 'performance' just like the majority of the last few months. No home win since November. Garcia's gonna be gone soon at this rate although the players have to take massive responsibility as well.

iirc, it's the same number of times as Real Madrid and Bayern, in the same amount of time.

I don't really see how you can say Chelsea should be doing better. Two finals, one win, and we've come extremely close a number of other times. We've been one of the most consistent clubs in the competition since we've competed in it. Sure, winning it more would have been nice but it's not quite that easy. Once you get to the pointy end you're facing other excellent sides, where it only takes a small mistake or two to cost you- not to mention some luck. We've done considerably well when compared to the other regulars who complete.

1 win in 14 years for a side with pretty much unlimited money is poor?

Man City should definitely be doing better than they are given the amount of money they spend, same with Chelsea. 1 win since Abramovic is quite poor.

Arsenal's problems are well documented.

Was Zabaleta injured or something? I have been struggling to figure out why he didn't play.
