I know it's early days but I wouldn't be surprised if City got the PL title this year.

Dont think it would surprise anyone tbh. Best team on paper by a country mile, and proved it today.

 

[KNiVES]

Way to go out on a limb there. Daring.

As a United fan it's pretty painful

 

[nemtizz]

Be kind to us City.

 

[maun]

what happend to utd's young right back Rafael? he injured this year?

seems odd to see fergi keep playing smalling/jones at that position when their both cb's.

7th in the league. \o/

Woot \0/...3-1 luvly jubbly....didnt think we would beat Stoke as they have been pretty immense this season but am glad we got through that game....2 goals for RVP and Gervinho bagged....happy very happy.

Just cant stop lol'ing at how badly Utd got their arses handed to them by City....as much as i hate City, that was some pretty dire football by Utd on the whole.

united have had that coming for the last 12 months, their central midfield is absolutely dreadful.

Fergie made a MASSIVE error not heavily reinforcing central midfield with a top quality AMC and DMC in the summer.......and todays result shows that error of judgement bigtime.

 

[peterattheboro]

I can see them being a good 10 points ahead of united come jan 1st. Maybe that will be enough of a cusion to see them through to may?

See what happens after Christmas. They've only got a small squad. Any injuries and they could be ****ed.

No doubt they'd just replace them in January!

 

[Robbo]

No excuses from me.

Well played Man City.

Has been out since the star of he season, shoulder operation again.

Haven't seen the game so can't comment on it specifically, we have looked quite poor and lucky for a number of weeks, Liverpool shew that last week too.

Hopefully Clev is back soon and that gives us a but of a kick on, he and Anderson when playing together were driving us forward in the Mid.

I wouldn't say City have a smal squad. Their bench was sheer quality today....

 

[Andybtsn]

Fergie out.

 

[placeholder]

Well that went well....

 

[BaZ87]

Is there a better player in the Premier League than David Silva?

 

[ck88]

Ahhh what a day.

3-1 against stoke - awesome
Man Utd taking a hiding - awesome
Spurs currently not winning - awesome

Feels like I've won the lottery.

 

[crackerman]

Wouldn't be the worst thing for City to not qualify out of their group in the CL, would allow them to keep their squad fit for the prem.

But if any injury "crisis" happens at City, it could all be sorted out by January.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Is there a better player in the Premier League than David Silva?

A few are better when on form but at the moment he's in a league of his own.

 

[jonneymendoza]

innit. great day. United have no excuse. they had one of their strongest lineups playing at home and got destroyed.

Arsenal were destroyed at old trafford playing their reserves. no excuses for united

 

[squerble]

Come on Blackburn, get a win

 

[Fiocca]

Beat us fair and square but i have zero respect for a team that has been bought using someones unlimited bank account. That's what really ***** me off to be honest as really they should be a mid table team imo.
