Dawson went mental when he was booked for that Dempsey dive

I honestly cannot believe how far the standards have fallen this year. Chelsea should have won the league this year at a canter. Something has clearly gone wrong in the camp.

This is the worst Manu team I have seen since the days of Paul Parker, Danny Wallace and Brian Mclair yet somehow they are on top. This is despite Rooney turning into a 10th of the player he was last season.

It's good for the league and for lower clubs to nick points and not fall too far behind but as a football fan the quality this year has been terrible.

I mentioned this point a few weeks ago and it was met with responses akin to wtf (Although it was Spurs fans so understandably they'd like to think they're getting closer purely because of their improvement). To be more specific I said something along the lines of none of the teams this year would have had a chance of winning the league for the past 7+ seasons, haven't seen a thing to change my mind on that.

Perhaps the teams lower down the league now do have more quality, but all of our 'best' teams are so far below what we've seen for a while it's unbelievable. Terribly average Man U team sit top of the league currently unbeaten, although to anyone with any sense that means nothing more than we've been fortunate not to lose yet rather than being genuinely tough to beat.

The one thing you can say is it does make things a little more interesting. There is no two horse race this year, any from Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, City or United would not surprise me if they ended up winning it.

spurs game needs to step up a gear!

nicktay2605 · 1 Jan 2011 at 15:39

ffs, the one week I put Tevez as my fantasy football captain he goes and misses a penalty. Absolute ****!

Lucky goal

Bale!

On 2nd viewing not so lucky!!

Pigeon_Killer · 1 Jan 2011 at 15:42

Aurelio and Agger have improved our distribution from the back no end. Must pain Roy to see it played out from defence

Shame they'll both be immediately dropped for the next game

Alpherah · 1 Jan 2011 at 15:42

We look lightyears better with Agger and Aurelio playing at the back.. light years
