"]Yaya slows our play down far too much. Better brought on to close out.games.[/QUOTE]
Toure lost his game when he started throwing his toys out of the pram over some birthday cake. Absolute child. I've always thought, once a player's head goes, the legs go as well. He was a force of nature at one point, but saw a pay day elsewhere and when that didn't materialize he seemed to go awful quiet, bar talking bollocks about being offered mega money to go to China but he couldn't leave the club in the lurch. Lol, what a crock of shit. A player entering their twilight years don't do loyalty, and who would in their right mind? Looks like the Chinese saw that other aging ex City player was costing them (700-000 bucks a week) for zero return and wised up and he's all kissing the badge lol. Not bad for closing a game down in the latter stages, or playing a minor cup game to help the kids, but his legs are well gone since his ego (or agent) put the kibosh on that one. Reminds me of Vierra at AFC, lost out on the REAL deal as they wouldn't offer him the potatoes he thought he was going to get and the legs just went after that - ended up being made a carthorse out of by Fabregas in some CL game when he was playing for Juve and lord knows where he wound his career down after that; Inter, I think.

With the greatest respect mate, that’s absolute nonsense. And didn’t Vieira win five successive Serie A titles in Italy?

AGAINST WHOM? The league was broke and Juve got relegated for financial naughtiness, all the best players buggered off. Lol, FFS, Swansea could have won that league had they moved there it was so piss poor. Didn't Inter have some bread left to keep ahead of the pack and muster a CL with the moaner after Viera was long gone? Total respect, man, but the Italian league has been an utter joke for aging and average players for over a decade. Long gone are the great Juve or AC's of this world.

Let’s hope so. At least you might actually play instead of just defending for 90 mins.

we just didn't have the quality fella to get possesion of arsenal(ok you may have taken over but they are still up there v lesser teams in regards to possesion footie)- we actually played a bit more than normal (v a top 6 ) than normal today. but at least goals are starting to come.
 
No sign of DS and FD in our latest training session but at least Stones looks like he will feature at some point on Sunday.

We need all three back 100 per cent and quickly so it would be good if all three started on Sunday as Vinny will be on the sidelines once again for a while it seems.
 
Palace glad all over said:

Anything can happen on the day Palace , your squad is ok and I can see you finishing mid table.

I am sure despite the loss to Arsenal the side will go into the game thinking they can win for sure and certain.

yep and seriously

You know as well as i do -zaha will be chomping at the bit - to try and prove himself v you lot.

- it will be park bus big time - every point now is vital. yes i honestly think we are a midtable team as well. not many teams have the attack we do in the bottom half(if any) - but we have given up one hell of a lot of points , roy wont play like he did v arsenal - you will have to break us down. of course if that happens early carnage can occur!!!!
