THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Villa absolutely superb vs Man City. 14 unbeaten at home, most shots a Pep City side have ever faced. Are they title contenders or just flavour of the month?

A joy to watch currently but I suspect they can't maintain that form for the rest of the season. Would be nice to be wrong though. I can't see past either the Gooners or Shit-eh.

Yeah, I can't see them having the squad depth to win the title in a year when there's some strong competition (unlike the Leicester season).
But I'd say they do have a realistic chance of winning some type of silverware as Emery is a very good manager, and has a fantastic record in cup competitions - he actually takes them serious and tries to deliver trophies for the clubs he manages, which is a refreshing change!

I think the title is pretty open this season, I wouldn’t dis-count Villa, City aren’t the team they were last term, Arsenal away form is patchy and haven’t been totally convincing at home, Liverpool and Tottenham blow hot and cold, so it might be a closer run thing with four or five teams in the race, that’s got to be a good thing rather than a one or two horse race


Seven year old boy visits Santa, he was asked what he wanted for Christmas, the boy replied a unicorn please, Santa said don’t be ridiculous ask for something sensible, so the boy replied, a top four finish for Man Utd, Santa turned to the boy and asked, What colour unicorn do you want?

The media spinning constant narratives really does influence thinking. United finished 3rd last season and this season, despite suffering the most number of injuries of all PL sides in the first half of it, they're still only 3 points off the top 4. And have equal points as Spurs, who you've included in the title race discussion!

I think it's so tight that there's a number of teams battling for the top 4 - and United are definitely one of those. Some have got to miss out though, and if the injury issue doesn't even itself up then United may well be one of them. But they've got every bit as much of a chance as the likes of Villa, Spurs and Newcastle despite the media talk being all positive for those three and all negative for United.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the negativity about United dropping off and becoming a team battling for a top 4 spot and not, realistically, for the title. But so OTT and relentless is the negative reporting that they somehow become seen as a 'joke' for battling with other big clubs for top 4 in the strongest league in the world.

I wouldn’t rule out Man U or Newcastle, it’s a much more open field this season, it’ll hinge on who can beat who in the top six clashes

And another.

So you can rule out Man Utd then

How in earth is Soucek still on the pitch. He should have had two red cards. Just been subbed. Weak refereeing.
