So just to clarify @WayneRooney @rioferdy5 @themichaelowen - as things stand, United & Arsenal will achieve exactly the same this season.

Is Le Tiss gutting a pig?

He's doing the Gary Neville.

Seriously what world do people like you live in? OMG the team with the most money wins the title, what a shocker, that's never happen before, please. Enough with this nonsense.

Nah, it's never been compressed into such a small window and the transfer market has never been so badly destabilised. Not even the crook over at chavski was as bad as this. Their "achievement" won't count for anything, just like Blackburns - a non-event. The gypos in mancland might delude themselves but nobody else is fooled.

People talk about showing tactical nous and ability, well Mancini showed exactly that by bringing De Jong on for Nasri and putting Toure further forward. Sure, there's always a bit of luck when it comes to these decisions but he had the courage to take that decision, when many were claiming it was a defensive change, and it paid dividends in the end. I can't see Wenger doing something like this, he seems devoid of ideas when it comes to changing games. In the past he used to bring on Bendtner and stick him on the right, and hope for the best. That doesn't strike me as a manager who is tacticall astute.

[Rors]

Come on Big 'Eck, do something exciting.

Has it really come to this?

When I said Mancini was going for it, I was serious. It was Nasri coming off after all. It's much easier to be tactically astute though when you don't have a bunch of shitheads on your playing staff.

Exactly, I don't get this excessive anti-Citeh hate. The team with the most money has won before, and in any case money by itself is never enough to win a league, you need to sign the right players, have the right manager who can organise them effectively, and ensure there's a winning mentality at the club so that in the crucial moments you have players who can deliver (like Yaya today and Kompany against Man Utd last week).

If we complain that City finishing top doesn't mean anything because of their wealth, well us finishing above Newcastle doesn't mean anything either since we're a much richer club than them.

Yeah, Mancini and city are great. Wenger is such a shit.
