Take Palace for example. It'd be unlikely that a bottom half of the table side in Italy, Germany or Spain would have a player the level of Zaha, but when you also include Eze and Olise, it's unheard of.

Maybe, but City aren't way ahead of the rest this season.

Only their in build belief will see them through I feel, because theyare undoubtedly short of the depth of quality they have relie6d on.

You cannot replace De Bruyne, who is nearing that inevitable football point, Gundogan and Mahrez, without there being an impact. Not really possible.

Rival managers may not say it but they know it.

It's why City will absolutely buy befire the window shuts.

Sadly, there are few restrictions on soppy cunts posting crap like that on internet forums though.
 
He really is one of the better communicators in the game, and very shrewd in knowing what to say to supporters via interviews and press conferences.

It's no coincidence that you'd often hear Celtic fans saying things like, 'one of our own' and 'give this man a lifetime contract', and now some Spurs supporters are echoing similar sentiments. He's very good at PR.

I'm already missing the coaches who couldn't speak much English.

Our manager has been managing for over 20 years, to suggest that he doesn't know what a leader is or that he somehow made a mistake with the captaincy you have to be some sort of fucking idiot, sorry.

hes gone for the safe option to not rock the boat so hard. son wont even be here start of next year let alone captain. i get why hes given him the armband, its not because he thinks hes the best suited leader in that dressing room.

i cant remember an armband change and TWO vice captains being appointed in such a big deal before...that says it all!

if you think a bloke who ducks headers, avoids duals like the plague, and has shown a serious lack of respect for his previous captain, deserves to be captain of a football team. then you must be a fucking idiot. imagine going into war and the leader is scared of putting his head on the ball or getting into a dual LOL. how inspiring, would fire you right up for battle that. might get away with having a pansy as the 'leader' in a little mincers league. but in the premier league it is as weak as it gets.

This is your problem you think Ange is putting his troops out on the front line, we can see why you're getting confused.

Bournemouth are able to comfortably outspend AC Milan now. And their stadium takes like one fourth of what the San Siro can take as far as crowds go.

What is the basis for your conclusion here?

What was a debatable matter that needed to be qualified and specified ten years ago isn't anymore: at every level of the table the Premier League features stronger teams with better players than their counterparts in any other league in the world.

The combination of having much, much more money and having erased any tactical/technical deficit that used to exist has made this just an unambiguous fact of the football world. The PL is at the top of the heap.
