Was strange, but could understand it at the same time.

They will be there or there abouts. Toure will be a huge loss for them and Aguero.
Tricky one with them and chelsea on one hand you have chelsea, scummy or just horrible players, horrible or just posh fans, whiny manager who i do quite like tbf and then you have city who won the lotto, deluded fans but less cunty players and more exicting to watch.
Who are the lesser of the two evils?
If City win the league because of an 36 year old player then that only means every other team in the league is really ****
What if they have two people over 36 that win the league for us? Aka, Scholes and Giggs. Are the other teams just bad to be beaten by old players, or are the players just that good...
You decide for yourself if Lampard is good enough to lead a team to the title. It's all well and good criticizing Chelsea for letting him go but the fact is that he was on huge wages and we unfortunately don't have multiple clubs in Australia and New York to allow us to violate the FFP rules through some fancy accounting

The holes are there to be exploited, can't really fault City for that. I didn't like the lack of loyalty with the Lampard and Cole transfers, but United were just as ruthless letting Vidic and Ferdinand leave. I know you can't dwell on the past and have to move forward but to me, there is more value in keeping Scholes, Giggs etc and hoping that they understand when they aren't good enough and retire with dignity like Neville did.
Haha yeah, would be cool if Frank won it after being booted from Chelsea. I love stories like this, reminds me of Raul dragging Schalke to CL semis after being booted from Real.
Didn't have horse in this race before but I think I'll start cheerleading City just for that reason.

It really wasn't a 'lack of loyalty' or anything. We offered Frank a new short-term contract with reduced wages. He rejected it and decided to move elsewhere. He said he won't play for another PL club but what do you know, he is playing for our rivals and scoring goals. I just find it funny when people say 'Imagine if Lampard won the league for city'. Well if we lose the title because we didn't retain a 36 year-old player who was clearly on huge wages and not in his prime, we don't deserve to win the title either. I would love to keep Lampard too but he deserves the right to retire as he sees fit instead of disappearing into obscurity sitting on the Chelsea bench. I just wish he didn't make a big deal about his love for Chelsea before joining our main rivals
Best team in the league by a country mile, best defense, best defensive coach but still conceded 19 goals which is just 1 more than ManUtd who have pathetic defense, not top 4 quality at all. Not to forget we are playing midfielders in defense because of injury problems.
