They'd play him in a midfield 2 with Carrick or Fellaini. They'd have no problem accommodating him.Hell, if Moyes is to be believed they'll be spending HUGE in the summer and may get Kroos AND another top class CM.

Apparently he got really pissed at being sub'd yesterday. Really hope he doesn't go to United.

Apparently City are now close to signing both Mangala and Fernando. How the FUCK do they keep spending like this!? They clearly don't give a shit about FFP and are just going to buy a world class player for every position. They spent £100m on top of their already incredibly expensive squad and are now looking to spend another £60m+ If they can get away with this shit then why don't we?

Big Sam is a fucking hippo-headed cunt, isn't he? Running his 8 inch wide hippo mouth like he just beat Bayern or something. If I'm honest, I'm not as worried about the title race anymore. We just don't have what City have and what you need to be champions. I'm more concerned about the teams behind us, namely Liverpool. Even United will be seriously gaining on us if we lose to City.

Absolute fucking joke! Parked the bus the entire match. HOW DID WE NOT SCORE THERE AT THE END!?

Which is the exact opposite of what's needed.Mikel gets the ball, takes 5 touches, and then passes it backwards or sideways. Laborious and boring. He offers nothing. He should only be used as a defensive sub when we're up 2-3 goals or in cup games.

Mikel is utterly pointless and useless in a game like this. Too slow, too negative, and offers nothing going forward.

It's like everything is against us. So fucking frustrating and annoying trying to play football against a side who doesn't. They just park 10 men behind the ball and when they finally do get the ball themselves they just heave it into the box. Then they time waste at every opportunity. We have no ideas going forward against parked buses like this.

Exactly.I can see this as a boring 0-0 for the first hour or so with West Ham doing fuck all but negating anything we do.

Not like he's been off of football for a whole summer or something. I'm sure we'll see him in the second half at least. Hopefully we're well ahead by then.

Expected Matić to be in the Hazard or Ramires category straight away where he's undroppable in league games. We can use Mikel and Lamps for cup competitions or as subs. Matić and Ramires should be the nailed on first choice.

Hope Carroll doesn't batter our defense with the constant crosses and hoofball West Ham will surely play. Not as confident now that I know Matić isn't starting.

So in other words, they're selling things to themselves? Wtf!? lol City are shady as hell. They don't give a toss about FFP and were one of, if not the only club to object to it. They had a ridiculously expensive squad last season and went and spent another 100m like it was nothing. All due to these super shady sponsorship deals and loopholes. Supporters of other clubs like United and Arse still make fun of us and say we aren't a truly big club, but like it or not we are. We're an absolutely massive, globally supported club. City aren't. Just have a fuck ton of cash.

So City have released their revenue figures. Scratching my head at how they could possibly have edged us in revenue. Chelsea is a MUCH bigger club with MUCH bigger global support. PSG as well.

Not sure. Could've sworn I've seen it happen before.

I'd swoon if we went 4-3-3 with Lamps, Matić, and Ramires with Azpi and Iva as fullbacks.Couldn't see anything other than a win if we lined up like that.

Don't really understand why they need him. Another AM? They're more stacked there than we are. They have clear deficiencies in other areas of their squad, yet they're spending a combined £80m on two attacking mids. Puzzling. Özil, Cazorla, Ramsey, Walcott, Gnabry, Rosicky, Ox, and soon Draxler. Seems excessive.

Potentially one of those classic Chelsea matches we've seen over the past few seasons. Everyone picking us to blow a team off the pitch and get a nailed on 3 points but we play like we aren't bothered and concede a stupid goal at the death and lose.Or the more annoying type of match we've been seeing the past few seasons where we dominate a side completely and have 10 shots on target without scoring. We concede a goal completely against the run of play and lose to a bottom table side. We then bemoan our utter lack of clinical finishing.

Before fucking United swoop in and offer him the moon we need to get this kid. This month! Loan him back to Southampton until the summer if that's what it takes. Just get it done.

Will be totally embarrassing and quite unacceptable if we lose tomorrow. Chance to go top, regain that 6 point cushion over Liverpool, and have momentum and confidence going into our most important and biggest match of the season at City. Hope José puts out a midfield partnership of Mikel-Matic or Ramires-Matic. Don't start Lamps, but instead bring him on as a super sub. Mikel and Matic can suffocate the midfield and allow our attackers more freedom to do more in the final third. Just hope we don't allow West Ham, who have been abysmal lately, to gain any confidence with a good start. Just press them like hell and go for the throat from the get go.

Shit day of results.

Makes our game even more important tomorrow. Liverpool now 3 points behind us again. We need as much cushion between us as possible since they don't have a cluttered fixture list like we do.

Sturridge is playing literally EXACTLY like José wants his striker to play. He cannot stop scoring. Unbelievable that we sold him and still have Torres.

Cardiff are not only fucking terrible, but they look utterly terrified of United here.

Agreed.Still think they'll make one more shock signing at the end of the week. Hope not. I'd love nothing more than seeing them miss out on CL.
