After all the deserved criticism, a reminder of a very special player, who we have to thank for our Prem status.
Well said Northolt. Mixing it with some real quality in that list and proof of his talent even if we've got carried away with what is only a loss of form (seen through our often blinkered eyes).
Does this mean you want him to stay Northy? Can't see Adel winning this,the judges don't rate Championship football,surely over the last year Yaya Toure has been the best!
