Don't disagree, but Ole is United fan, the media pan to the biggest demographic United fans and SKY need to create stars in a poor league. The media love to create stories, whether they are true or not. It's not just De Gea it's every top player in the league, but it's much much worse when they...

Cheer up it's 5 points. City also have Europe. At the end of the day City will finish above United and are a better team. City and Chelsea are the only top teams in the league and you are 3 points away from them.

Most Premiership keepers can make a top save every now and then, but I said would expect top keepers to make those saves virtually every time. It's not making the save once, but the fact that he consistently makes saves like that and then makes even better saves on occasion. You don't think he...

I don't see the problem as long as they arrange matches between teams that are fairly close to each other. I would much rather go to an 8pm kick off on a Friday with the weekend to relax rather than on Monday with an entire week in front of me.

The Balotelli stop was world class. The way he dealt with Sterling's second one on one was world class. Though it depends on what you call a top keeper. I expect Neuer and Buffon to save them. However, being in that company means you deserve praise.

Yes exactly AGUERO. The best player in the league. Arguably the best striker in the world and definitely one of the top 10 players in the world in any position. In fact 75% of the league would kill for a Jovetic. Stick Jovetic in the Palace team and we would finish in the top half. Without him...

It's what people said about Casilas. He was a 'lucky' goalkeeper as well. The ball just seemed to always hit him.

It's not luck. It's top players carrying them and the rest playing decently, because of it. The United defence is crap, but De Gea is world class and saves them. Their midfield is crap, but they have good strikers that are clinical and save them. It's not luck that we have not won against...

Do you really believe that? He is easily the best shot stopper in the league. Cech and Courtois better keepers for other reasons, but nobody else in the league can make the saves he can. Sad to say, but it looks like United are getting their confidence back and this is pretty much the team...

He is kid being forced to carry the burden all on himself. Way too much weight on his shoulders and like usual we built him up too much.

Dortmund's season has been shockingly bad, but it mirrors Liverpool's season with a little worse luck and on a grander scale. They were carried by Reus last season and have a lot of players not good enough for a top 9 Bundesliga team. They were carried by Reus and to a much, much lesser extent...

Re: Why are City so far behind Chelsea in everyone's estimat That's your problem. You are a better footballing side and you showed it at the Etihad this season. The problem is that Bayern/Barca/Madrid are even better footballing sides. So if you try and play an open game with them both you and...

Re: Why are City so far behind Chelsea in everyone's estimat Well you have already given reasons. 1. Chelsea have a good history of parking the bus and have always accepted that there are better teams than them and will outplay them. Until very recently the City have thought they could go toe...

Re: CL Round of 16 They are not what they were 2 years ago, because a certain team took 2 of their best players. Last year they had Lewandowski, which was a big plus, but they had an injury crisis. Even then with English Second Division standard players like Jojic and Friedrich they took Madrid...

Re: CL Round of 16 Whether the draws are fixed or not who knows, but Madrid and Barca have not exactly always had easy draws. I think you are forgetting Madrid got the group of death when they were the top seeds and drew United after. Barcelona topped their group and then got you, who were by...

Re: CL Round of 16 They have some bang average players and some players that are the best in the world in their position. This season they have not had a chance to put out their world beaters or they have had to get back match fitness. This probably won't be the case come February. Monaco are...

Re: CL Round of 16 I would make you favourites due to momentum and confidence over anyone, but Madrid. Monaco are by far the worst team out of the group leaders followed by Porto. I think you would beat Dortmund if you met them in the last 16, but I don't see why you would want them. They are...

All four Bundesliga teams made it through once again, though 2 teams came seconded. I think the quarter final is a good indicator of the strength of the domestic leagues. Spain have only 3 teams, but all three top their groups. Germany have all four with 2 topping their group, whilst the...

Congratulations a great and probably season defining win. I have given never been Nasri's biggest fan, but he steeped up today and delivered. I have a feeling City will go very far in this competition. I honestly think you will make the final or semi just as long as you avoid Madrid in the next...

Says it all about decisions in football. Everyone on this forum watches a lot of football and we have such different opinions. I think it's an awful decision and others think it was a great one with no controversy.
