Mancini was terrible, how I wish he was still there.

Should have walked the league the last 2 years with the squad he had and gotten out of his cl groups.

He must not own a mirror. Or have any friends.

I think he looks glorious!

You would.

You're right IM so biased towards my own players

If you gave me the money Man City has I could win trophies with them. They have the highest payroll in football and spend the most in transfers year in and year out. That being said I think Pelligrini has done a good job so far playing really enjoyable football from a neutrals perspective and winning. But it rather early to say whether Pellegrini has done better than Mancini or vice versa. We have to see the whole year play out and see what City win if anything. I think people are overrating them in that I don't think Hart is as good as everyone makes him and that defensively they are a bit vulnerable. Still they are the favorite to win a couple of trophies this year where they really underperformed last year. United won the league by a big margin.

Here is another area that Giroud tops Carroll.

Fernando wrote:David Moyes’ crumbling relationship with Wilfried Zaha is at a new low after it emerged that he ordered the young winger’s exclusion from Monday night’s reserve game because he was 45 minutes late meeting up with the squad.
Zaha has been left fuming in recent days after Moyes told him that he could not leave the club on loan until injuries to other players had cleared up.
But Moyes’ irritation at what he has perceived to be a lack of professionalism and commitment from the former Crystal Palace winger all season finally boiled over on Monday when he was informed that the 21-year-old had arrived three-quarters of an hour late for Monday’s reserve game against Middlesbrough at the AJ Bell Stadium in Salford.

What a disgrace. Gets paid got only knows what and he has the nerve to do that, does he know that he is playing for one of the biggest if not the biggest club in the world!

Id rather look like Giroud, granted. What a guy! heart

What is with all the Zaha coverage, you would think this guy is Suarez, Rooney, and Ya ya all rolled into one. If I bang moyes daughter can I become famous to?

by Fernando Wed Jan 22, 2014 7:28 pm

You seem to like the long hair DZ

Maybe Giroud in the past is more your type Whistle

He is famous for being ZAHA Socal..

You need to start watching some championship stuff mate..

by socal1976 Wed Jan 22, 2014 7:38 pm

Only way I can watch championship football is during FA cup and on online stream. To be honest I would watch La liga, Bundesliga, and other competitions before the Championship. Some good clubs down there but there is so much top flight football in Europe not to mention my love of tennis to watch and play it that I just don't have time.

by mystiroakey Wed Jan 22, 2014 7:55 pm

Fair enough...

But i am still willing to throw down with Moyes daughter if it will make me famous, by the way is she good looking, I would hope it was worth it to Zaha.

by mystiroakey Wed Jan 22, 2014 8:03 pm

I wouldn't want to be famous....

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed Jan 22, 2014 8:28 pm

Not everyone who watched him in the Championship thought anyone would benefit from Zaha moving to United...

by mystiroakey Wed Jan 22, 2014 8:32 pm

Well no one has benefitted and that is hallways a risk when young talents go to big clubs.

But good on him . he has basically forced a move go Cardiff. Even though Moyes has done his best to feik him up.

by Fernando Wed Jan 22, 2014 8:39 pm

The Following is an urgent appeal

For a small fee of just £3 a month, We will be able to provide Mystiroakey with the tampons that he desperately needs. Once we are able to raise the required amount we will invest in a crane to pull him away from the bum of Wilfried Zaha

Doesn't surprise me with his history of violence towards other players & teammates. Poor signing that was by Pochettino.

And people are having a go at Zaha for wearing a T shirt.

He's up there for one of the worst CB's I've seen grace the Premier League. Awful awful player

Worse than Bramble, Marcelino, Boumsong or big nose Andy O`Brien?

It only turned out to be a fight. I was told he chased someone with a sword.

Worse than all of em. No positional awareness, let's the ball bounce from long kicks, can't tackle to save his life, and dawdles on the ball. Shocking

It's incredibly difficult. I'd already seen their fixtures in March & pinpointed that as a key sequence of games. We've written off Arsenal before though & they've come through it & still lead the EPL. Anything can happen.

Is it true Borriello isn't fit for a few weeks dolph!?

by sodhat Mon Jan 27, 2014 2:38 pm

They say he needs a bit of match fitness, yes. Same boat as Traore, but less of an issue. I'd still just play him. If he gets injured we terminate the loan...

by Duty281 Mon Jan 27, 2014 3:00 pm

Apparently Barclays won't be renewing their sponsorship of the Premier League when it goes up for renewal in 2016...so it will become something else.

What odds on a betting firm getting the sponsorship?

The William Hill Premier League? The Ladbrokes Premier League?

Cash Converters

Does anyone really care as long as it's on TV? Would you be that bothered if your team won a Premiership title sponsored by a group that lacked oomph!

That's not a bad shout with Sky. They already have the Championship.
