Man City

Three points off second place with three quarters of the season to go... not worried just yet. I just want us to stay in the top four.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!

Gutted we lost against Utd, but it's not like they dominated; we received a goal from a set piece and that was that. Game could have gone either way, two losses in 11 games isn't so bad, considering we're still topping.
I am really concerned about the fatigue in the team though, especially when it comes to Giroud; srsly, we need asap a reliable backup. You know there's something wrong, when we dust off Bendtner after two years, that's just ridic.
forever loling @ Chelsea's ~penalty~ in injury time btw. That whistle wouldn't get blown even in the Greek league, and we give away some truly hilarious penalty kicks. Bromwich were robbed.

Could have gone either way? Please remind me when de Gea broke a sweat having to save something? You had more possession but we allowed you that. It was mostly in areas where you were not a threat. When it mattered the best chances fell to us.Originally Posted by supernaps
Also yea that Stoke penalty and Chelsea penalty decisions were a joke.
Oh, so Ozil's shoot that just nearly crossed the post along with the last minute cross of Sagna's that samuraiB52 didn't convert into a goal because he didn't move quickly doesn't count? The game generally was not of excellent quality, too many battles in the midfield area but you weren't exactly threatening either. A draw would have been much more fair. Both teams weren't nearly at their best, and usually when that happens it's the details that make the difference aka Van Persie being lucky to score with a combo between ear and shoulder.
And just to make clear, I don't mean Utd didn't deserve to win, they took the very few chances they got and defended well so kudos to them; I just said that both teams were on it.
United neutralised all your threats. Every player was made to look ordinary. Sagna was the only danger & even then it was rare.
We had you where we wanted you and kept you there most of the game. For the first time this season...Moyes out thought another manager.
Well, you got a point there; our lack of clear width players was evident in this game. By the time Gnabry was introduced to the game, it was too late.
Luis Suarez is the best player in the Premier League. I don't even care. Banned for half the season so far and is now the joint top scorer. Phenomenal talent.
Still a smurfing dick for this Summer though, but I will admit if he scores more goals like that header the ice in my heart will slowly melt.
He is a beast upfront, yeah. Still thinking that Real will grab him in January, though.
I'm slowly joining the camp that he is a clinical striker. Best in the league? You wouldn't take the likes of RVP, Rooney, Aguero, or Ozil ahead of him?
And lol at Paulo Di Canio's interview on SSN's. He lives inside his own head.

Welp its been a rollercoaster of a month or two for Newcastle, after losing embarrassingly to Sunderland, giving the worst team in the league their first win, we seemed to have found some form of adrenaline, spark. The City game was great, though we did lose it and got knocked out the cup... but hey its Newcastle we're not meant to win anything.
Beating Chelsea and managing to not only beat Spurs but keep a clean sheet was a great match. I think its finally starting to come to the point Tim Krul has finally shown the team and fans that after all these years he can be as good for us as Shay Given ever was.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
You could make cases for the other three, but Rooney? Definitely not. And on current form, none of them. You also have to remember that the other players all play in much better teams than Liverpool!
