I think they made a mistake selling Adebayor. Ok perhaps his attitude was poor at times, but he's exactly the type of centre forward / striker they are missing. He's excellent in the air and can hold up the ball when it's played out to him from defence so that the more mobile deep lying strikers / attacking midfielders can play off him. It is so obvious to me yet Wenger is rarely slagged off for selling him. The same could be said of Fergie's decision to sell Tevez as well looking at his current form.

i know it's not an exact science, but for what it's worth this is how i see the race for fourth going:


Burnley v Man City (city 3)

Sunderland v Tottenham (spurs 3)

Birmingham v Liverpool (liverpool 1)

Tottenham v Arsenal (spurs 1)

Liverpool v Fulham (liverpool 3)

Man City v Birmingham (city 3)

Man City v Man Utd (city 1)

Tottenham v Chelsea (spurs 1)

Liverpool v West Ham (liverpool 3)

Arsenal v Man City (city 0)

Burnley v Liverpool (liverpool 3)

Man Utd v Tottenham (spurs 0)

Liverpool v Chelsea (liverpool 1)

Man City v Aston Villa (city 3)

Tottenham v Bolton (spurs 3)

Man City v Tottenham (city 1 spurs 1)

Burnley v Tottenham (spurs 3)

Hull v Liverpool (liverpool 3)

West Ham v Man City (city 3)


totals:


city: 14

liverpool: 14

spurs: 12


final table


4th: spurs 70 points (current goal difference +28)

5th: city 70 points (current goal difference +19)

6th liverpool 68 points (current goal difference +21)

Far be it for me to question Fergie's nouse in the transfer market, but Tevez is an excellent striker. I agree that they are doing ok without him and Ronaldo. But he would definitely give them that extra edge going into the end-game of the season where every little bit extra counts. Having a player like him could be the difference between winning a cup final and losing one.
To be fair to Berbatov he has stepped into the breach and aquitted himself very well recently especially considering he has been carrying a persistant ankle injury and has often been played out of position to accomodate Rooney playing as the loan striker. Berbatov's last couple of performances playing up front on his own in place of the injured Rooney have been nothing short of superb. I think most Man Utd fans are split down the middle in their opinion of him but I think he deserves some credit.

He reminds me of Le Tissier. Not the quickest or the hardest worker but a deft touch, skills, great vision and can score goals.


Le Tissier would have had a national team built around him if he was from continental Europe. For once the English got a player of skill and craft. And the man was barely picked. Disgrace.

Berbatov reminds me more of Frank Worthington. Another misunderstood maverick who never got the credit he deserved. I still remember a goal he scored for Bolton as one of the best I've ever seen. He chipped it over an onrushing defence who were trying to play an offside trap and then ran onto meet the ball as it dropped behind defence.

You've got Don Revie to thank for that. But Ramsey played his part too. I find it hard to believe that someone like Alan Hudson only got two England caps.

Apart from it being a brilliant goal, what you notice is how the ball bounces higher and is much harder to control than it is now. No grass on the pitch hard surface, harder ball.. amazing Frank managed to get the ball under control.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
