Good, I'm glad Utd didn't get him.

At the moment it's hard to hate City as much as Chelsea because they have the right attitude. However, the cunts won nothing before they had money, unlike Utd who to a small degree earned it

Going to wash my mouth out now

I don't hate City or Arsenal for some reason, I just want us to beat them.

Utd and Chelsea on the other hand, I want us to destroy them.

I hate United for a host of other reasons

For some reason I had written them off this year but adding him & if they get KDB it's hard to see anyone stopping them. It looks like Toure and Kompany are back to form(2 matches only I know) + if they keep Silva & Auguero fit then the spine of their team is really strong.

If they are winning it keeps the pressure off Sterling to perform so he might have an easier time bedding in.

The key to their season is still keeping Aguero fit IMO. If he plays anything near 30 league games then his goals could well be enough to win it for them.

It just seems odd that Chelsea haven't strengthened "yet" - Jose normally likes to keep the squad refreshed year on year. They need another CB + CF for me even with adding Pedro. One injury to Costa and they are screwed.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Rahman being the full time LB before the end of the season & Azpilicueta moving across to RB with Ivanovic playing less this year.
