City won't dominate.

[Locke.]

# They have become the first team since the 1998-99 season to miss five penalties in one season.
# Stewart Downing is the first player to miss three penalties in a row in the league since Juan Pablo Angel in February 2005.
# Opta stats state that Manchester United have had 51 shots fewer than Liverpool in the league this season, but have remarkably scored 41 more goals than the Reds.

Seriously just... what

They will, no one can come close to their power, their team, all that's lacking just now is the mentality of being champions

[King Gizzard]

and no matter how people sugar coat it/dress it up, they have bought the league, you can say United team cost as much but United bought their team with money the club made, not from some guys back pocket just like Chelsea

They will for the reason nathan said. They have the best squad too.

[Samuel.]

Don't worry, as soon as we get Rafa back there will be none of this Manchester dominating business.

[King Gizzard]

Can't believe I'm saying this but I miss the days of the top 4

and the odd team who try and break into it every year surprisingly like Spurs Everton

I dont have that much of an issue with Man City 'buying' the league. THey made the best of their resourses and they had to get it done on the pitch too.

I'm glad that a takeover deal for Rangers has been agreed.

[bbfan1991]

Rumours that Martin Skrtel has handed in a transfer request to Liverpool?

[Locke.]

Rumours came from goal.com, then the Mirror used them as a source.

Think he's injured so won't play today, which'll just fuel them even more

Isn't that what people thought about Chelsea though, and now look at them sitting in 6th

[bbfan1991]

Not sure if they are true, if there is an element of truth perhaps he wants Champions League Football or something? ...

[Samuel.]

Goal.com you say? Must be true.

Chelsea wisely decided it was best for business purposes not to go spending crazy amounts of money every season on players, they still splashed the cash on only what they think was required.
Looking back they might regret that now?

[Locke.]

Wouldn't mind too much if he left, we'd get quite a bit for him after the season he has had, but I doubt it will happen.

Qatari outfit Al Sadd have confirmed former Real Madrid legend Raul will be joining them. http://bit.ly/J7Njfo

Goal are unreliable but football is predictable, we have seen things happen totally out of the blue in some cases which have surprised people.

It is always best to keep an open mind and not to be swayed by the press.

They did go pretty crazy at the start though, and splashed out on a lot of players that didn't really perform like Shevchenko, Mutu etc. and still didn't win any trophies until Mourinho came along.

[Samuel.]

Should've just given Sterling a start.

Some players that were signed under Mourinho's reign were people who Abramovich wanted e.g. Shevchenko and Mutu because they were his friends and that annoyed Jose as he wanted other transfer targets, hence the breakdown of their relationship at Chelsea and RA trying to poke his nose in team matters.

Abramovich made a big mistake disillusioning Mourinho from the club and has lost a bit of popularity since then from some Chelsea fans because they loved Jose, despite the amounts of money he puts into running that club.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Oh I didn't know they were brought in under Mourinho, thought it was Ranieri

[bbfan1991]

I might be wrong.
