McGeady is probably the most skillful player at Goodison Park. Totally unrelated to end product.
Tim Howard has been a good buy, given us stability after Gerrard, Simonsen, Myhre etc. The best keeper we've had since Southall and Martyn.
I like our new 3rd kit.
LFC deserved to win the title two seasons ago. I could not have lived on this planet however if they had.
I like sitting in the Top Balcony. Soz.

What's not to like about him?
Nope. Just no.
No team that wilfully ignores Suarez deliberately cheating, including stamping on opponents, game after game ever deserves to win anything.

LOL. The team that has the most points at the end of the season deserves to win and they didn't have the most.

City scored more, conceded less, gained more points, played better football, didn't clock up a record number of penalties. In what way did Liverpool deserve to win it?

Having one flying full back instead of two away from home makes us more solid defensively (will have to see how this one pans out, but Galloway keeping his position seemed to allow Stones and Jags just to stay in the middle and head crosses away. Too often our centrebacks seem to be miles apart as our full backs are up the pitch)

City did not play better football that season. They were barely top of the table for a couple of weeks during the whole season.
I can't be any clearer. Life would have been intolerable had they won. But all those matches where they swept teams aside in the opening halves of matches (Us, Arsenal, Spurs, City) were impressive. That can't be denied. Suarez, cheating machine that he is, was phenomenal. Chelsea were top longer than City, Arsenal too I think.

I don't understand this. City didn't play better football yet scored more, conceded less, and got more points than everyone else? So if you have the best attack in the league, and the best defence, and you win it, you're still not playing the best football?
Liverpool scrapped their way through the first half of the season with some very unconvincing one nils, they also won some games with fortuitous penalties when they needed to. They then had a couple of months of blitzing teams before their defensive vulnerabilities were found out towards the end. The media have just brainwashed people into thinking they spanked everyone left right and centre all season long. It wasn't true, they were dismantled by Arsenal, Chelsea and City away from home and battered by us (sadly not reflected in the score line). Big home wins and winning at Spurs and United got headlines as did a last minute winner at home against a City team who had dominated them on their own patch. Sad truth is they didn't win away against any of the top 4 that season. They also defended shoddily most of the season even at times when playing 5 at the back. City were by far and away the best side. They flew out the blocks, hit a mid season slump but then finished brilliantly.

I had just written a big spiel about why I believed my statement to be true...then I just thought: "What the fcuk am I doing???" So, you win mate.
As for McGeady, I stand by my argument. Magic feet. Genuinely. Quicker feet than any players I've seen in my lifetime. He just doesn't have a brain...
Isn't this the unpopular opinions thread?
Quite right, so it is. And @Chozz is winning at a canter!
