I did remind them about the draws to which ny mate said I was been prattish cause I hate them. Its true I hate that club but that team was obviously a special team I've admitted as much. It just wasn't as good as they make it out to be and they weren't Invincible or Unbeatable.

People talk about the title race without aguero forget that they won the league last season when we were depleted too. They had a superior team to us last season, yet they nearly lost out to Liverpool. I couldn't give a sh*t if we win the league with aguero out. Last season we helped them to win the league as they almost bottled it big time, so now it's time we had a fee things go our way as well. They also have lampard who's scored some crucial goals for them already to keep them in this title race too.

You should tell them that you don't hate them but find them funny. That would really piss them off[emoji13]

Nevermind the invincibles, Madrid have just recorded 19 wins in a row. That is the standard we need and the measuring stick we should be using.

Not sure why but City looked really lacklustre against a poor Everton side. I think we'll  easily dispatch of them when they visit the bridge in January. As for now, worrying about the smaller teams and remaining motivated for these sorts of matches should be our priority, we shouldn't have drawn with Sunderland but I suppose these things happen. Obtaining W's against these sorts of sides are where titles are won. Hopefully, we can record wins this winter period and see where City will be come January.

If we had the likes of Ronaldo we could.

People forget the invincible arsenal team had a fair bit of luck as well as talent...ie...van nistelrooy hitting the bar with a penalty

Have you seen the financial inbalance that exists in La Liga  ?

 

I'm not sure these figures are entirely accurate but they certainly aren't far off the mark. Real Madrid and Barcelona are creaming off huge amounts in tv revenue, leaving the clubs below them to feed off the crumbs. In the Premier League the revenue is spread far more equally, which is a good thing.

19 wins in a row mean jack all when you have no real competition. It's like the Spl in that respect.

really makes Atheltico's league win perhaps one the most impressive wins in European football, since jose won the CL with  porto? or even Inter. It's the equivalent of an everton winning the league in England I would dare say and that might be doing it a disservice. 

See man city have opened their new 200 million pound facility.

RE: the Invincibles, it is incumbent on me to remind all and sundry, whenever possible, that Pires dived to "win" a penalty against Portsmouth, during that run. Earning Arsenal a very undeserved draw...Therefore their invincibility is null and void (according to me)

Pires diving for a pen against Pompey

Aguero going to be out for at least a month, brilliant.

 

Great footballer but total twat, one of the most ridiculous decisions in PL history that he didn't get sent off for that two footed stamp on Luiz's ass.

What was even more ridiculous it wasn't even mentionded in the media

Honest to god thought that Claude was going to swing for the merchandise mannequin for a moment there.

 

Even his glasses are from the Arsenal Megastore I swear.

Technically it was the FA Cup

Looks impressive.

The only reason I am envious of northern teams, is due to the lack of council intervention and land space to expand on.

He also stamped on a player a few weeks ago and got away with it. I don't believe all this crap about Aguero being an honest player, he has a nasty side to his game at times.

Where's this news about Aguero come from? I've still not seen anything other than the original knee problem - set to miss the Roma game story on the BBC. I'd have expected any confirmation to be headline news, even if it is only for four weeks.

 

Also, I don't think City dropping into the UEFA cup will make any difference. From previous experience they will, if looking unlikely to qualify for the CL knockout stage, throw the game properly to finish fourth or even if they end up third, they'll throw the first UEFA cup match as they have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever. It's probably best for our league title chances if they continue in the CL.

They're not gonna throw the towel in they want to qualify. They know a win will do that.

Agreed. I meant that if say with 10 minutes to go City were losing or drawing and the other result meant that City had no chance of qualifying but could still finish third, they'd probably then chuck in the towel and lose if that meant avoiding finishing third and the UEFA cup. To be honest, I have no idea if that is even a possible scenario. But I'm sure they basically did that a year or two back. Not 'officially' of course.

I just want City to progress in Europe. I don't care if it's the Champions League or Europa League. I highly doubt they'll win it, while it would make things more difficult for them later in the season.

Here's how the convo ended with me and my so called mate:

Gooner: Well it's widely documented and acknowledged as Arsenals invincible season & I happen to share that view. Your entitled to your opinion and we've established that in the gospel according to Bob a season is measured by all competitions that season. We can go round the houses but I'll never be swayed and nor will you.

Me: Documented by the media and DVDs. If you think that makes a team invincible factually you are incorrect as a season is measured by the competitions you are in not just one. The title invincibles or unbeatables is a fabrication of the media. You lost games therefore you were not unbeatable or invincible.

Gooner: Where is your factual evidence to support your definition then?

Me: That fact that during that season your team lost in the Cups, Shield and CLs. That team lost matches. Therefore they were not unbeatable or invincible.

Gooner: That is the biggest load of bollocks I've ever heard. Ciao for now.

Me: How you can not understand that they weren't unbeatable is beyond me. You clearly have no answer to the fact that that very team lost on several occasions. Nice of you to keep it respectful aswell Mate.
