As I said, I never criticised the wingers (Lennon, Modric, Krancjar) or the strikers (all great players).
You mention your defence and defend them by saying theyre 5th best in the league. I've not once said your team is poor. But you've proved my point in saying that. IS 5th in the top 4? Of course not.
I think at the moment you're looking at an obvious top 3 of Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea (in wahtever order, I couldnt care less really - I'm a Newcastle supporter born and raised in newcastle just to level the playin field so you know where I'm coming from). 4th is obviously up fro grabs and Spurs are in the mix for it...but from my point of view I see Villa and yourself as similar and then Man City and Liverpool aswell. There's 4 teams. Liverpool, if they get it together can challenge still. And Man City are getting stronger with each game.
And btw, don't ever say you don't know what you're on about to me. Its a forum, this is opinion, and I'm a lifelong football supporter and season ticket holder so I'd appreciate that you join in the debate with intelligence rather than throwing out vague insults.

yeh i said we were 5th best defensively so far.. but there is only 5 goals between 5th & 1st with only Man U & Chelsea being top 4 sides above us, the other two clubs are villa & birmingham.. i still view that as being pretty solid defensively. i wont argue about the sides chasing for 4th. but i still think its only spurs and city that has the squad depth to deal with any injuries.
+ if your catching feelings about me saying you dont know what you on about then thats stupid, it wasnt a direct insult.. i never know you were an english poster, so thats why i questioned your knowledge... but i know your a NC fan now, so its all good.

not catching feelings mate, sorry we've got off on the wrong foot. No hard feelings at all.
Spurs to be honest have surprised me this season. Youve done much better than I thought you could do so you never know, maybe I've underestimated you. I just think in the long run the moneyboys at City will just win through. Also, you can never count out Liverpool....massive clubs like that never go down without a fight. Villa I think will bottle it like last season.

BRILLIANT STUFF.
I think everyone watching that game as a neutral wanted to see Tevez get the goals and it was great to see.
Shay Given was the real unsung hero for City though. Best keeper in the world in my opinion...mind you, my opinion might be biased as he was my team's keeper for more than a decade.
