    Yeap, best race since..... 2 years ago, when City scored at the last minute and won the title. Lol. Doubt they will beat that, but would be AMAZING if so.

    That last Toure goal was insane. It was like he was playing against a bunch of 12 year olds. I hate that he plays for City.

    1 down and 1 to go for City. A draw will seal the Premier League for City which shouldn't be too hard to get at home against a middle of the table West Ham.

    Yaya is by far the most underrated player in the world.

    A holding midfielder who can score 20 goals in a season, control the back, feed the through ball, dribble through an entire defense, it's not even fair.

    To put things in perspective...

    MC's three best strikers (Aguero, negredo, Dzeko) are far better than any striker on the Arsenal squad.

    Possession dominance does not matter if you cant finish it off with goals.

    Arsenal needs to get a dominant striker to get the most of their midfield.

    Do you guys think Arsenal will splash out the cash for a Top Striker? Or find a cheap alternative?

    Unless that "Top Striker" is a tender, young Frenchman, Wenger isn't paying for him to walk through that door.

    I bet Wenger is kicking himself for not throwing the kitchen sink at Suarez.

    I expect Arsene to buy a legitimate striker, but not the "top end". So players like Cavani, Ibra (not that he'd be sold), Falcao, etc are out of the equation completely.

    This doesn't just describe Yaya Toure, it also describes Arturo Vidal.

    So I just rewatched Bayern Stuttgart,pretty much the Same ****

    Pass,pass,pass and repeat it 300 Times over without creating any chances while Robben is doing his thing

    Dortmund will destroy them in the Cup final

    Eh, not much of a goal scorer (Vidal scored 22 in all competitions, Yaya 20 in the EPL alone). Although I'll admit I haven't kept up with Liverpool this season, just the goal highlights. Last season I remember being really unimpressed with Henderson, but I've read he's gotten leaps and bounds better.

    It's fairly certain that City will win the EPL today. LFC has made a good run and WAY surpassed expectations. Let's hope they win big vs NUFC to end the season on a high. The real test comes next year when teams know what to expect from them and really prepare. Don't worry Gerrard, breh... you still have a good 2 more productive years left.


    He's comparable to Michael Jordan... but we'll see how he develops next year.
