As we're top of the league, we are now allowed to tap up players of teams not in the Top 4. Aaron Ramsey sound good to everyone?
Actually, you make a valid point, HBC. You're not telling me that the likes of Sanchez and Ozil, and even Di Maria, are not asking themselves all the same question: why didn't I go to Spurs?
It wouldn't surprise me if Messi and Ronaldo go on strike this week to try and force a move through before the window shuts
Whilst I love Ronaldo's skills, I'm far from being in favour of the amount of Brylcream he wears in his hair. This isn't the 50s, and football has moved on since then. Therefore, I will pass, thank you.
Reading this thread I have reached the inescapable conclusion that we have all turned into HIAG. Who knew it was infectious
There's a wum inside all of us. (Except, of course, there is no wumming allowed on this particular thread.)
Okay, I know that most of us have been having a laugh on this thread, and few of us actually expect us to win the league, so the question is - where, realistically will we finish? 1st and 2nd will go to the Sugar-Daddy teams, Chavs and £ity. 3rd and 4th will be contested by 4 teams: us, 'Pool, Everton, and Arsenal. United will finish well outside the top teams. I believe that we have the quality for 3rd slot, which really means that 4th will be contested between 'Pool, Everton and Arsenal. Of those, I believe that the Gunners probably have the class to nab 4th slot, especially as Whinger seems to specialise in finishing 4th every season, and scraping CL by the skin of his teeth. However, much will depend upon their form going into the final third of the season; as we know, they have a tendency to bottle-it during this period. So, all wumming aside, I think we'll finish 3rd, and the Gunners are going to struggle to finish 4th. Wouldn't be surprised to see them finish 5th behind Everton, actually, but it will be close, so please do not quote me on that.
Big test for us to stay top today. Come on Everton, West Brom and Southampton(well just don't get beaten by 4).
Poch out! We have fallen to second after a disgraceful performance. Not a shot on target, not a tackle made. Although a bit of a shock only Swansea have overtaken us. So far.
I think we did well, considering. We saw off one key rival (£ity), and ensured that a potential rival (United) doesn't get close.
