It’s very much a moot point Jim. All that matters is what’s happening at the moment and currently it looks like City will be winning the title playing some of the best football we’ve seen in the PL.
The Utd fan in me is devastated. The football fan in me is very much enjoying the brand of football being played and I think, much like how Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal raised the standard of the league, it’s City now who are forcing everyone else to step up a few notches and that can only be good news for the future of the PL, both domestically but also for the PL teams in Europe as our sides have been lagging behind for a few years now.

Fair point CM on that 08 side. I think Sane would have been pushing for a place somewhere in that side too though

For me, this City side is quality-wise as good as, if not better than any side we’ve seen in the PL. Man for man, I’d say they’re easily a match for any of Fergie’s sides. What made Fergie’s reign so special IMO was not any particular outstanding team but the way they constantly evolved and retained that winning desire year after year.
City are currently a long way from that kind of dominance but, as 999 suggests, with their spending power, their impressive off field commercial growth and Pep staying for any length of time, you wouldn’t put it past them getting closer to that kind of long term dominance.

Really hope he’s the real deal. So often, we build up these young players too soon and end up disappointed when they fail to deliver to the standards we’ve come to expect. I really hope he’s not rushed into the England senior squad once he starts getting games for City, or out on loan.

Alli could and probably should have seen red there. Kane was a tad lucky too. Can anyone get close to this City side?

Hats off to Hodgson. He’s faced some criticism after both the Liverpool and England jobs but he’s so far made De Boer look like a pretty poor manager.
How many times have we seen some of the lower end teams in the PL appoint young foreign coaches only to revert back to the Hodgson/Moyes/Pardew/Allardyce pool of experienced English coaches?

If we can agree on a shortlist of, say 5, for each category then I can put a poll together if you want Chucky

They all dream of playing for United when it’s contract renewal time Maverick!

Certainly does @Chelsea.man! Chelsea need this win to get their season back on track and cool the talk of Conte leaving

Remember to get your predictions in for the midweek games before kickoff tonight! I’ve gone for Chelsea to drop another couple of points tonight. Huddersfield have given a few of the big sides problems this season and Chelsea’s confidence is knocked.
I think Palace will get another win too which will give them a good chance of getting out of that bottom 3

No worries Nine. Hope Chelsea.man sticks around on here anyway. We need some more Chelsea voices!

Pagan, good point about Jose. He’s always been the same but he used to have a certain charm about him in his first stint in the PL. He seems to have lost that recently.
In my opinion, it’s simply down to him not winning as much as he used to. He’s a terrible loser, like most good managers, but he takes it to another level.

I don’t disagree Jim that neither are in Jose’s league, hence why I have Jose as my number 1!

1. Jose!
2. Klopp. I always used to like him but I find him, like Jose, to be a terrible loser. His attitude with the interviewer yesterday was really poor IMO. I genuinely believe that being a bad loser is an essential trait in any successful manager but it has to be controlled. Klopp lets his emotions get the better of him.
3. Pep. Plays great football and is very likeable when winning but he has a nasty streak when things are going badly. Can be quite rude to interviewers. Yes I know Jose and Fergie were even worse!
4. Costa. Enough said!
5. Suarez. See above!
All that said, I’d no doubt support any of the above if they were at my club so a lot of these are driven by club rivalries as much as anything
