Do City have the best 'spine' in the game?

I'm loving our times at present.

BUT, I think we don't want to get carried away with ourselves. Let's not forget who we are and where we come from.

A couple of draws or defeats and we will be out of a trophy race and out of contention in the Premiership and the hounds of hell in the media will be baying for blood.

Let's just stay focused and let people judge us by our performances on the pitch and our trophies at the end of the season.

We've won nothing yet.
Is there a better spine though? Or putting it another way ,Who's would you swap for ours?

I just don't think you understand the term spine in football terms
why? you have the best keeper in the world, best fullback in the world who can also play midfield, best CM in the world, and then you have two of their best attackers in Ribery and Robben.

Certainly have some competition
No shit you're playing five on our four.

Spine is straight down the middle, GK, CB, MF, ST

Now I know it takes many more to make a team but is there any club in football that can boast a better spine?
Makes mine tingle just looking at it.

Yes there is -well maybe not better but just as good.
Swap out Yaya for Fernandinho and it still looks better than anyone else. Swap out Aguero for Negredo and it still looks better than anyone else.
Need I continue. This is one hell of a ride and I for one am loving it !!!!

I just think we need to wait till the end of the season before we judge that.

We're playing Barca soon and we haven't played any top European quality opposition with that spine yet.

Did that spine play in the game at Munich ? I can't remember but the consensus seems to be it was our second string. I'm not getting carried away with that result anyway as it turned on its own circumstances.

The game against Bayern at the Etihad was a humiliation. The spine played in that game I'm pretty sure.

Let's start lording it up with the "we've got the best spine" routine when we've got titls and trophies under our belts. That's all I'm saying.

Like I said I'm loving it like all blues. I just don't like to celebrate till the fat lady is giving it large and with full throttle.

Its a question not a statement of fact.
