Most Overrated Team
- Thread starter Joga Bonito
- Start date
Who in the media has claimed that?
We're quite capable of that by the way. We could even finish second, but both you and United collapsing is highly improbable. Last season we were 15 (FIFTEEN) points behind United at this point in the season with our ridiculous collapse after Wilkins was sacked and Ancelotti's father died; and we came within one game at OT of winning it by the end with a resurgence overturning 3 teams. We went from demolishing all-comers running away with it to complete write-offs, clawing it back to one game winner takes all and we lost it.
You can't write off either of the two teams who have won the league for the last eight years but we have been for the most part (though thats fine with me because we made the comeback last season with the pressure off).
Spuds will drop off as they're about to go through their delicious run, City aren't looking as unbeatable as they were in the beginning and United's injury problems and lack of a midfield is catching up with them. Making judgements in the first half of the season is the silliest thing you can do. Arsenal and Spurs were in the relegation zone at one point.
Spurs: City (A), Wigan (H), Liverpool (A), Newcastle (H), Arsenal (A), United (H), Everton (A), Stoke (H), Chelsea (A) - and they already fucked up at Wolves.
I'm not sure they'll be 3rd by the time they come out of that. Just like their run in the CL when they came up against Madrid, they'll come back down to earth eventually. Not even considering the possibility of injury to any of three key (injury prone) players to their side. I can agree that their first team is a real competitor, but I don't think their squad has what it takes to cement themselves as one of the EPL elites.

Similar to saying you fucked up against Barca in the CL semi final a couple of years back. Not on the same level obviously but I'm assuming you didn't watch the game.

Overbo fucked that game up. We fucked up in the previous years final.
Edit: oh you're equating the ref performance. Fair point.

Arsenal - potential doesn't win trophies and that's all they seem to have had the last few years - the potential to win something.
I wouldn't say the rags are overrated as not many rate them anymore. Everyone is picking holes in their squad and, despite a few good recent results, can't see them being the dominant force for much longer.

In recent times, I'd say the Arsenal team that played tippy-tappy were massively overrated. Fantastic to watch; had no idea how to win.
At the moment, I'd say Napoli. They have some fantastic counter attacking football, but people are touting them for possible CL glory and I just don't see it.

spurs are overated by the media.
england are the most overated team in the world.
liverpool are the most overated by their own fans.
phil jones is the most overated player in the league.

First off, not England. No one apart from the English media overrate the England Squad. We've all heard 'pundits' say we can do it before and we have an amazing team, but at least I for one can say I haven't heard anyone else say this.
From their own fans, Liverpool. They do seem to honestly think league domination is just around the corner every year. But I think everyone else now agrees that they ain't what they used to be and they are living in a dreamland.
I would say Rags perhaps, but most people say it's one of the weakest sides in years and it's being held together by Slur Alex and fear of their name.
Really I can't think of a team thats massively overrated by people in general.

Ever since Mourinho did it with Porto the media get giddy when we get a dark horse.Damocles said:In recent times, I'd say the Arsenal team that played tippy-tappy were massively overrated. Fantastic to watch; had no idea how to win.
