How do you see the end of the PL season finishing?

[moomba]

Was saying yesterday that Silva is probably the best player I've seen at City, and one of the best since I first started watching English football (1992). Just had a look and only one ToTY spot, and doesn't really seem a factor in most peoples eyes this season.

Underrated?

 

[Cruyff14]

I don't reckon Silva is underrated at all. Widely recognised as one of the elite footballers in the competition.

 

[Spitter9]

I do see what he is saying though. He is recognised as one of the best midfielders in world football but doesn't often get the glowing praises game after game that he probably should. This has probably been his best season for Man City. I would have him in my toty over Sanchez

Any world where QPR doesn't relegate is the wrong world. I reject that reality.

Spurs would have been a lot worse off without Eriksen this season. Won them at least 9 points off his own boot at the death.

Yeah, a player like Coutinho puts himself about a bit better than Eriksen - but his impact with the ball is as devastating as anyone in the league.

Fair to say both clubs got absolute bargains. Compare it to how much United paid for Mata, and then consider their relative impacts on the team and it's mind boggling.

How come he gets overlooked for Spain?

He doesn't really. Getting close to 100 caps now, and apart from a couple of games at the World Cup he's been a fairly regular starter (when fit) for a few years now.

Hull manages to draw with United on the final day of the season. As a consequence, they avoid relegation and United miss the Champions League.

You have us getting 4 more points for the entire season? With one of those against Man United? :O

To be fair though Mata was an established star of the competition and had produced a phenomenal season at Chelsea before Mourinho returned. You can't really compare these transfers when you consider neither Coutinho nor Eriksen have come close to what Mata has done at his best.

Also considering impacts, interestingly enough Mata and Coutinho actually have the same number of combined goals and assists in the league this season with 8, Mata has done this with less games too FWIW.

 

[moomba]

Ha ha, a Steve Bruce side getting a point against Man United.

They'll be printing t-shirts. "I was there when Brucey forgot to bend over".

I know, right? What the Hull? That's exactly what I thought.

Liverpool supporters calling up TalkSport yesterday morning claiming they're in the title race. Oh dear.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

12 points behind Chelsea. Good luck with hoping to win four and a half more games at least.

edit: Chelsea a game in hand so might's well make that 15.

Lol.

That would be amazing in a way.

 

[Zidane98]

Chelsea on 96 points? They're not winning 12 in a row.

Try not to talk about Liverpool too much. Obsession is unhealthy.

Lol so is fragility.

Absolutely no chance. Not with us still in Europe.

 

[jod23]

Yeah winning 12 straight games in the league is incredibly hard. Couldnt imagine it's even been done too many times.

 

[moomba]

14 is the record by Arsenal in 2002.

Chelsea's record is 11, in 2009.

I think our record is 12 IIRC set back in the 80's. Got 11 in a row last season.
