Unstoppable. Simply unstoppable.

It has been described as the holocaust for Arsenal..

Wayne Rooney's free kicks were almost matching the quality of Ronaldo's and Ashley Young, two first class goals out of the top drawer! De Gea was hot and cold again but its good to see him grow in confidence!

Was a pretty poor choice of words by the Sky commentator who said that.

That is all.

Yeh no need to refer to the Holocaust for comparisons these days. But very good match from the Devils, every player looked like they could score something

Youngs
Goal was simply amazing. Dzeko last wasnt half bad either

It did seem a little offensive.. it is a sensitive issue and really shouldn't be brought up i guess..

Waiting for fantasy premier league to reopen as i have Young and Rooney as Captain

Haven't seen either game - looking forward to 16 goals in 2 games tonight on the review!!

However I will say this. Harry Redknapp got what's coming for sticking his oar in about Nasri - it's none of his damn business what City do or don't do and Nasri isn't a Spurs player. Now he's moaning about specualation about Crouch and Modric - needs to grow a pair and get back to managing his football club. Perhaps he has his tax evation case, or whatever it is, on his mind too.

Looks like Rooney and Dzecko are gonna be fighting it out for the golden boot! 6 in 3 and 5 in 3 for the 2 of them...not bad!!! I'm pleased Mancini stuck with Dzecko today...musta been tempted to play Balotelli.....

Watched the highlights - it was men and boys in both games, emphasised by 2 things. Firstly Utd fans started cheering half heartedly by #6,7 and 8. I've never seen that - almost like they had sympathy for the youngsters Wenger trotted out.
2ndly, Aguero's goal vs Spurs - passed from one side around the back to down the other side for Aguero to run in and smash it in from a tight angle without a Spurs player getting anything resembling a tackle in, pure class goal. City beat a full strength Spurs team too. Redknapp called City the best team in the world. That pretty much sums up his mental state! Top 4 is gonna be a real open slather contest with the state Spurs and the Arse are in...

So where is Tevez going to fit in this side??

sgt_pepper · Aug 29, 2011

/\/\ balotelli becomes city's berbatov. aguero/tevez/dzeko on rotation.
i wouldnt put arsenal outside the top4 just yet. its a long season.
3 games in and people have already decided how the league will turn out.

ooneil · Aug 29, 2011

^^^i think Balotelli will become city's Robbie Keane.

Yep - 3 games in means zero at this stage. Will be interesting to see how City handle having to play UCL this year.

GiRDS- · Aug 29, 2011

He doesnt deserve a game.

keane/berba. same difference. keane is just a season ahead. berba will waste away on the bench, just like keane did...

ooneil · Aug 29, 2011

Nah with a congested schedule Berba will always get plenty of pitch time. Watch him jag a hat trick mid season against some nobodies.

Your right though - they should just cut their losses with Balotelli. I can see him becoming a pain for them sitting on the bench.

we'll see. if he cant get a game in the champs league final, charity shield (1minute dont count) and gets beaten out by welbeck for 3 games straight, i think, going by fergies track record, his united career is over. he'll get league cup and FA cup games no doubt, but hes not on the radar for the big 2 comps i dont think.
the only reason he got a run in the opening game was because chicoroll was still out. welbeck is the new guy in town now.

ooneil · Aug 29, 2011

Maybe - fergie does not have a history of keeping guys around that he is not interested in having in the team - im surprised he is not already gone.

thats the only strange part. he hsnt got rid of him yet. maybe he was waiting to see how welbeck faired...?

EDIT: arsenal fans that went to manchester for the game will be given a FREE ticket to a future away match.

ooneil · Aug 30, 2011

Arsenal are reportedly set to sign Fenerbahce's Brazil international left-back Andre Santos for around Â£6.2m.

sgt_pepper · Aug 30, 2011

/\/\ now all they need is another defender, 1 or 2 strikers and at least 2 more mid-fielders.
wenger needs to wake up and buy some already proven world class players...

Young Chu Park is a done deal Santos having a medical and talks ongoing with Werder Bremen over Per Mertesacker.
