I doubt their cup teams will resemble the teams against us or Chelsea. They have a big enough squad - especially against West Ham, with the 6-0 lead they have. They might have a few in their team for Watford, given they want this quadruple.
Thats why I put if they come through it, fair enough, and I also said it was only a 'slight' advantage if it turns out to be one at all.
City still look a bit dodgy away from home, Newcastle were a bit unlucky not to get an equaliser against them, Swansea gave them a good run for their money and Blackburn got a draw against weakened but still strongish side. I'm sure it'll be a very tough game but I don't think City are unbeatable. If we start slowly again we could be in trouble though.
Crystal Palace have Europe's biggest squad, says new study http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25819091 Some other good info on that link
Yeah I think it depends which Tottenham team turns up. Last season I predicted a loss and we ran out comfortable winners so it's a tough one to predict. I just think with the run of form they're on and the likes of Dzeko & Negredo scoring for fun plus Aguero's return, it could prove a tough game for Daws and Vlad (or if Jan's back by then?) at the back.
Read that aswell but a strange one (aside from money), I'm sure he would prefer to move to the premier league.
I'd love a move to Monaco if I were a professional footballer. Glamorous city, lovely weather, huge wages and challenging for domestic honours with the aim of competing on the European stage in years to come. Suppose it depends on the mind set of certain players. If I was a pro and I weren't playing for Spurs, I think I'd look for the best financial deal possible - yes, I'd be a mercenary .
Plus Ince knows he just has to cross the ball and Falcao will score! He could become assist king of Europe! and then shoot off to party with Lewis Hamilton and Jenson button surrounded by busty babes.............now I see why!
I felt that he was only keeping his job because sacking him would push his son out of the door. When he started touting him around Europe, in what must be one of the most obvious conflicts of interest that I've ever seen, his time was bound to come to an end pretty sharpish.
Haven't visited the Gooners' board for a while, so decided to have a browse. Bloody hell-fire! There's a certain poster over there, who used to post over here (but is no longer permitted that privilege) and he is ranting as hard as I have ever heard him about Spurs! I have never seen an obsession so dangerous as that! And there's a thread/poll about RvP, and whether or not Gooners would happily take him back. Perhaps not unsurprisingly, the majority are against the idea. One poster commented that if RvP had gone abroad, Gooners would have forgiven him and seen it simply as a personal desire to win things; yet, no one has considered the fact that RvP, in his first season with United, won the title, something he would never have done with Arsenal, even if he was there, today.
I thought he was fortunate to survive that 5 game ban he received. But I agree his time was up after recent events touting his son around.
City are fielding an unusually strong team tonight, doesn't make much sense to me... It's a long journey, cold evening, and a foregone conclusion - not sure many of the players would want to play tonight. Upton Park is empty, even by its usual standards.
Early goal for Citeh, both of Wet Spams fans are already making for the exit. But seriously, I don't remember the FA making Wet Spam play this match behind closed doors.
They survived a minute and a half longer than we did! Agreed it was crap, someone forgot to tell Tomkins that the match had started.
