I'm a Barca fan, but I still root for Arsenal to win the Premier League cause a) I can't stand Chel$ea or Man U and b) you guys have exciting players like Fab, Nasri, etc. Too bad Wenger is incompetent and cheap as @#$%Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
Man City are a joke. How you gonna spend hundreds of millions of pounds just to park the bus for 90 minutes?
Wenger with his clueless substitutions as usual. Lazy a.ss Arshavin on for Walcott and subbing on Bendtner to use him as a LW? What kind of nonsense is that?
Usually I am ecstatic when Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham lose but this draw feels like a loss. We dominated for 90 minutes at home against the 2nd ranked team in the league and came away with nothing

First thing I want to say about City is the Toure brothers are GROWN *+$ MEN. Both are physical on the ball and solid defensively. Pushing Yaya up the pitch on counter attacks has proven to be beneficial all season long. He was one of the few City players who showed productivity offensively along with Tevez and Adam Johnson (for a short stretch). Kompany and Hart impressed much of the game. Richards is a strong kid and make a couple nice runs but I find he's out of position at times and luckily Milner tracked back to fill space. Is anyone convinced Kolarov is the sure first-choice LB over Zabaleta or Boateng? Overall, typical Mancini with the conservative and extremely defensive Italian approach to not concede. I have no trouble with the style or result, but at some point you have to get after it and challenge Koscielny and Djourou more in the middle. Jo in the starting 11 was questionable, that's Adam Johnson's spot to me. We'll see what kind of impact the Bosnian Bomber can have on City's title hopes and I'm assuming Mancini will play Dzeko with Tevez on the pitch. How will he do it though, Dzeko lone up top with Tevez playing behind him?
Yeah, Yaya Toure is by far the best midfielder in the EPL this season in my opinion. Big lad, puts himself about but can thread a pass and has a really high footballing IQ. You wouldn't think it when you see him lumbering around the pitch...great signing though.
People cut down city because of the spending, which is natural. The owners have to do this in the immediate term to see any ROI. It was the same with Chelsea, but now they've miraculously become part of the footballing elite (after being rejected on more than one occasion by the G14). Perspective is needed. This is their short term business model, and it will work. They just need to offload the infectious negative players like Balotelli, Tevez, Ade et. al. and they'll be fine. Also, I don't think there is any shame in playing defense first when you're away versus your closest rivals. Certainly, City could do with a midfield creator, but they're limited with injuries, hence Jo's start.
Good day for United. Now they just have to click and begin rolling. Yesterday was not pretty.
