So Zokora (unless you are talking about Chimbonda) plays well for half a game at CB and you are trying to resist saying "I told you so." You said he'd be one of the best CMs in Europe this season. You also said Man City would be in a relegation battle. I'd continue resisting if I were you. :wink:
Yes Joey, that's exactly what I'm saying.
I'm realising that one egg does not an omelette make and that DZ's in no way lived up to the expectations/hopes I'd had for him for this season. Well done you for spotting it! :wink: I also btw, feel the same way about the team, MJ and the club as a whole and while in the case of DZ I may have been in a minority, I think there are few other chumps feeling glum when it comes to the latter. Perhaps, dare I say it, even you Joey!
On the City point, I can't remember saying I thought Man city would be in a relegation battle, I do know that I thought Sven was a very good appointment for them and that contrary to popular myth he was one of the best club managers there is.
I admit however, that I'm still bemused by the success they're having. A scratch team, chosen in haste from video-tape clips, without a coach pre-season, should not be doing as well as they are. It's for that reason I quite fancied them in the Cup pre the draw and it's for that reason also I will not be surprised if, after suffering a couple of poor results or bits of bad luck we see from them a mini-slump. They have to be favourite for fifth at the moment though.
