And Kompany will only miss City's game against Fulham (Fulham!) next week and not say plus Arsenal and Man United.

Well, things are not looking too good right now, at least with the scoreline...

Not too sure about that. Azpi has shown that he can defend and defend solidly at LB, just like Cole when he's in-form and offensively, they are both probably the same right now. Cole's attacking threat is almost non-existent these days while Azpi doesn't really get forward much either through instructions from Mourinho and/or his unfamiliarity to do so from LB as a RB. If anything, Cole has that slight edge over Azpi only on him able to provide more a natural threat from LB.

True but then again, they are different side now than then. Lets see how brave and positive Hull are for the game..

Sarcastic or not, hardly detracts my point. At the end of the day, I personally can't be bothered with which player wearing what number. It's the name on the back of the shirt that matters and it's them that make the number, whichever they are wearing, memorable if anything.

Next Friday...

Am making a bigger fuss just because I was stating my point across? Calm down? For what? Like I was even pissed to begin with. Such things may be important to other fans, that's fine but just from my own perspective, I don't get why there is a need to always talk about this like the player will get some special ability if they get the 'No. X' shirt.

Yeah. You certainly didn't go around and say 'Player X is shit', 'Player Y is shit'. Oh wait...!

No Luiz and Cole for this game. Torres is feeling better after his injury last week. EDIT: Torres rated doubtful for tomorrow's game. Mourinho said he may or may not include Torres in the trip to Villa Park tomorrow.

Early Mourinho presser today...10.30am UK time.

Not sure if you have noticed but Eto'o has tended to play most of the home games this season while Torres in the away matches and the reason is clear, Eto'o is more suitable to play with when opposition comes to the Bridge, sitting deep and defend while Torres is better when there are spaces to break into away from home as the home side is bound to attack more. Now now, let's not go down that line of discrimination... You know, rather than moaning which striker is shit and all that, it would be better off discuss something more remotely interesting than this. We all know our 3 current STs are shit and there is no point moaning about it when we are stuck with them till end of the season. Just hope they continue to score the goals, however the circumtances are, and we move on at the end of the season.

With the way Spurs are doing right now, don't think one can even hope for them to get at least a draw against Arsenal this Sunday..

Benfica take the lead against Spurs and this happened. :lol:

Don't get the fuss about players wearing certain shirt numbers like this one. Would they actually get some superhuman powers if they wear the No.10 shirt?!
