This thread needs closing. Thought everyone knew Maureen's eye gougers had already won the title a month ago.

I agree. Forget the passes - The most startling fact from the match has been mentioned on other threads - namely Colin Wanker - ville
going on about the non-goal they scored, how City were nervy, etc....................and "The Etihad" - don't know what he was getting at - there.
When he said it at the end of his interview - he raised his eye-brows......................t*t.

on second thoughts he was saying " thank the Lord I am able to come to this place - and get a footballing lesson".

Didn't a pundit say last season that we were the best team the Premier League has ever had at keeping the ball? Pretty sure it was on MOTD.

That can't be right as Southampton and Swansea both had a greater average possession stat than us last season.

Swansea didn't; Southampton did. We had better pass accuracy than everyone; although Arsenal were almost exactly identical on pass completion. stats.

Our style of play is heavily dependent on the Holy Trinity:Nasri, Silva, and Toure. When on the park together, our distinctive style and tempo stands us apart from anyone else, including Chelsea. Remember someone saying that Barcelona's success had been built on finding great players who were intelligent, a rare thing, and I think that quality is true of these three.

that's right on the money, intelligence is the key. Lamps and Martin have their fair share, enhanced by vast experience, Silva/Nasri/Yaya are sublime, should be wearing mortar-boards,
hopefully any future signings will have similar football brains. Probably means they wont be English, where brawn over brains is still the passport.

Whilst that's always been true (although I'd substitute Aguero for Nasri), the last few weeks has shown us that we can win games without those players. That's what's so exciting: we've lessened our dependancy on them - partly through Nasri's progress. And Fernandinho and Kompany left big holes in our team last season, much less so now.

The summer's buys are really starting to look like money well spent in tersm of contribution to our squad strength.

Bet Sheldons happy.

TBH I think you're all missing the point about this passing thing, especially with regards to the Palace game.
Barca for instance will pop the ball around the middle of the park all day long, whereas what we were doing was passing it around inside their box for long periods of the game.
One thing to pass it around in front of their back line, a totally different thing passing it around behind it.
OK, it was Palace, but I've not seen anyone else do that to them.
