I don't think that's holds true anymore. The PL is far more competitive than it used to be. If a team is going for the Championship then I agree they have to beat, or at least not lose to the other challengers, but as Chelsea found out last season, it's just as important to not drop points against the so called lesser teams...

On that subject it seems the team who does better against the top teams wins the league. Chelsea were an exception.

United did well away from home last season if you look at the stats. So apart from an awful home record their season might have ended quite differently.

What I like is that he's not throwing them all straight in. Last night's starting line up didn't look too unfamiliar. We were arguably the better side for the first half but made a couple of big errors which get punished by teams as good as City


And I have no bloody idea how Ague was allowed to score with his first touch about 25 seconds after coming on. Thought I was watching a replay or something.

From what I've seen of the 2 supposed main contenders for the title, the chavs and City, I'd say City look far superior. CSKA Fulham weren't convincing in their two gams against newly promoted sides, and while you could argue that City didn't overpower Newcastle and Liverpool, what they did do was take their chances with ruthless efficiency. For me, that is what will win the title.

Agreed

Lampard has confirmed retirement from international football. Saw this comment on the BBC site which really made me laugh. If he really said that, I like him a bit more.


"Good effort Frank! met him the other day shortly after he arrived at City and says he's settled in well, adding: "I recognise many of the fans from when they supported Chelsea"

And most likely Yanited before that, and Liverpool in the 70's and 80's.

Funny thing you mentioning old shirts, do you ever see anyone wearing a Chav shirt that pre dates 2003? Nah, me neither.

Out of the blue I know, but I feel really sorry for Sevilla. They always seem to get a decent team and then have to sell their best players. If they want fair play in Spain they should divide the TV money like they do here. It's virtually a two team league each season, apart from the last one.

    • And I'm not sure why you felt the need to announce that you don't read posts that are to long.   Well you couldn't be bothered to read the long post so how would you know what the point is!    That aside. Get well soon.
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
