I don't know about that, Tevez mouthing off to the papers is starting to piss me off heaps. If he wants to stay he has to realise his form hasn't warranted him being first choice, more games like yersterday will help though.
He's been playing better than berbatov

That's debatable. Recently, for sure. I feel Berbatov has recieved a lot of underserved criticism over the season, from most people including myself. He's hardly been as bad as he's made out to be, not that he's been that good, and for the most part it's the same with Tevez.

Hopefully we sign Tevez, great player.

I'm not saying that Berba isn't a decent player with nice skills but;

A) He is massively overpriced. Anything over 20 mill for him is ridiculous.
B) He's not in Tevez's league. Tevez is twice the player Berba will ever be.

In the last few games yes. But before that Tevez had been in bloody poor form most of the season. Ineffective as an attacking force (three league goals all season before the recent two), the only thing he's really been providing is someone harrying and rushing at the defenders. Even last season his contribution was very over-rated. Good yes, but hardly great.

And his crying to the media is getting on my nerves as well. He's played in more games than both Rooney and Berbatov this season. Albeit some of them have been in Carling Cup/FA Cup and rarely playing the entire 90 minutes in PL and CL games, but it's not like he hasn't had his chances. He simply hasn't taken them.

Whereas Berbatov looks lazy and like he's not doing anything, but he's scored or assisted something like 21 goals in the 29 league matches he's played in. Quietly effective, despite not playing anywhere near as well as he can do.

I think his whinging is more attributed to that fact that while Rooney's and Berba's places in the team next year are assured, his isn't. You say that he's played in more games than Rooney and Berba, but how many of them have been starts. Surely alot of his league appearances have been off the bench.

That was close to the most frustrating game I've ever watched last night. We just could not hold onto the ball, something that is usually our trademark. I guess the players were as nervous as the fans. Its the only explanation I can think of. Credit to Arsenal for the way they played, but thankfully they had nothing to play for or I'm sure they would have buried us.

Anyway, all's well as ends well, and we clinched our 18th title and 11th in 17 years, and for only the second time in those 11 we were able to do the deed in front of our own fans. Bloody brilliant! I went to sleep with a bloody big smile on my face, and it's still there. Good times. :D

Congratulations to the glory hunters, business as usual. Enjoy it, although I am sure it is as fundamental as breathing.

Yep, congrats indeed.

You two gallutes feeling the constant urge to bag us even after winning our third straight title says more than anything we could ever say about ourselves.

Oh, and no, we don't stop selling the jerseys of our gun players because they get injured. ;)

Our third choice team > Hull, Sunderland, Newcastle, Middlesbrough.

Darron Gibson has just scored a screamer, we're all over Hull.

1-0. Anyone wish to blast Sir Alex for picking a winning team? :)

Now for the Champions League. Extra motivation is wanting to shut up all the dribblers who wank over Barca. They're a good team, granted, but not THAT good.
