Maybe because City was also missing key players? Especially during the ACN, but keep using the "OMG WE HAVE INJURIES" excuse.

You a Feyenoord fan? Nice! Was so goddamn nervous, Heerenveen should have won the match already in the first half. Luckily they got tired in the second half and just gave up after the the 1-3.

Mancs defeated Newcastle and Spurs are drawing. Everything is going way better than expected.

Nemanja Vidic £7,000,000
Rio Ferdinand £30,000,000

Ashley Young £17,000,000
Tom Cleverley free
Javier Hernandez £8,000,000
Ryan Giggs free

Total £206,000,000
So you fittingly remove Micah Richards (free) from City and add Kolo Toure (who hasn't been on the bench for a long time), and avoid Anderson and Berbatov in United who cost a fortune.

Some City fees are too high. Yaya cost £20m, confirmed by Barcelona. James Milner didn't cost £26m.

C'mon doicare, who gives a shit? It's not like we haven't spent either. And that difference of degree doesn't matter to 99.9% of other clubs (and their supporters). Even with complaints about ownership, we've wasted money on the likes of Bebe and haven't sold players when we should have (Berbatov last summer)...

And this idea that there's no value or that there's no-one that can ably do the job is utter bullshit too. Newcastle, Spurs, Everton and other teams have done great jobs of securing talent without paying out the ass.

Anyway, there's been clear deficiencies (midfieldmidfieldmidfield) in this squad for so long now, and if they're not addressed this summer, it'll be a travesty.

Fulham are more than capable of pulling off a victory against Spurs. If we can beat Everton, we can still get 4th. Heck, we can still get 3rd if West Brom beat Arsenal.

Because they beat you by 5 goals at your home stadium. And they play nicer looking football, and Mancini is a suave, silver-mained Italian in a classy overcoat.

Except the problem is those players were only missing for a couple of games where as Man United's players were out for significantly longer, so nope you're wrong.

Fulham aren't nearly so good away from home -- especially scoring -- but now that BAE and Rose are both out and Walker has a broken toe (but is playing), Spurs are more vulnerable.

Yup, Feyenoord fan. Yeah it was a ... weird match. But the circumstances were weird too.

Joining the financial debate of the PL, Feyenoord beeing qualified for CL play-offs is even more amazing couse they were near bankrupt!
