    Haha...no wonder Torres was wearing a mask yesterday, probably was a special task to accomplish, losing to Saints.

    So DL have you got any theories on how our massively average team are 22 points ahead of Chelsea. Remember Chelsea signing any of our players would be a backward step <ok>

    This could be interesting. Hopefully it's as insightful as his groundbreaking "if City had a better manager and better players they'd win the league" theory.

    How?

    Because the league is massively average. RVP aside I wouldn't have any of your players, issue has been lack of squad depth due to poor management and board level and having Benitez as managed.

    Not at all. More entertaining games instead of dross 1-0's and tactical affairs. Games between the big teams are far more entertaining than 5-10 years ago <ok>

    How can we be massively average and the league also be that would make us equals with Chelsea unless they are really below average.

    You have to be a little bit deluded and arrogant to claim you wouldn't take any of the players from the team 22 points above you. Though I do see you have now added RVP to your last claim.

    Vidic, RVP, Carrick, Rooney, Hernandez, Rafael, Kagawa, Nani would all on form get into this Chelsea team and they would have strong odds to go unbeaten.

    Chelsea are below average compared to recent standards set under Abramovich. We have 8 quality players when we used to have 16 minimum. The standards of the league have fallen dramatically partly due to the recession and spending restrictions of all clubs.

    Chelsea and United are two different teams, Chelsea like to play patient build up football with intricate build up play, they are technically gifted team. United are more of a machine and far more direct yet with more versatility in their style of play, akin to Chelsea under Mourinho in many ways.

    indeed <ok> tbh they may even end up worst than liverpool situation when FFP really start biting by restricting their investment on building a stronger squad.. sooner or later every artificially inflated club will be back to their normal size
