Things are going poorly at the moment, you won't get me arguing that, our CL campaign has been an utter embarrassment, four goals scored, only two clean sheets and three losses is as bad as it gets for us, you can't even blame the Yanks for this because I'm pretty sure our squad is dearer than Fiorentina's/Lyon's and our wage bill is higher, which seems to be the be all and end all according to Paul Tomkins.
We have massively underperformed all year, anybody denying that is lying, this season can only be regarded as a massive failure so far and will probably be regarded as that come May. However, I do think we'll finish in the top 4 and, with a bit of momentum behind us, win the Europa league.
Hopefully you're right. Some good teams in the Europa league thou. Wolfsburg, Juventus and Shakhtar Dontesk would all be hard. As for the top 4 in the Prem - City have only lost 1 game all season and with January fast approaching the cash is already being withdrawn from the bank. Apparantly they're close to signing Phillip Lahm in January (quality left back).

Anyway heres hoping.
City could do me a massive favour and offer Sol Campbell a contract if they like.

I know who Lahm is and I honestly believe he's overrated. He's a good player, quick and agile with a great engine, but I feel he's weak defensively and his attacking game isn't amazing. Would be good for them, though.
City is slightly worrying but we're in a decent position considering the shambles of a season so far, generally, we start to hit our peak physically around January/February which usually results in our best form, hopefully nobody big leaves in January and we can seal a top 4 place.

I just don't get how Benitez can still insist Liverpool are getting better.
Liverpool aren't going to be seeded in the Europa League apparantly. How the mightly have fallen.If they aren't seeded, one wonders who is
You and me both
Landon Donovan though, really? I'm not so sure on this one.
All a bit jazzy round here these days, I like it

PMSL. I think your evaluations of players are usually spot on but this one isnt. id take Sagna at Arsenal or Bosingwa before Johnson. Since his addition, a very formidable defensive side has suddenly become an average defensive side. I agree that hes a very good attacking fullback but his all-round game isn't there for him to be described as best in the league.

I think that is more down to Carragher having an awful time of it recently.
