Interesting to see Atletico with some of the more sought after players among the football forum super scouts doing rather poorly in La Liga. FM stats and youtube compilations aren't always the ultimate guide to transfer targets.

Both Keanes goals were world class today I think. Just saw them for the first time on MOTD - the second is brilliant.
Apparently both Bendtner and Frimpong have suffered fractured cheek bones.
King Kenny having a go at his players now. Nothing to do with you being an average manager bringing in brick players then?
I'll say it again; Liverpool are not underachieving. Their players are of 6th - 8th in the PL quality. Some are perhaps a little bit higher (Suarez, Lucas, Bellamy, Reina) and many are a fair bit below that standard (Adam, Spearing, Carroll, Johnson, Henderson, Downing). If Dalglish gets them to finish 6th it'll be a very good season by the standard of their players. Absolutely appalling in terms of money spent, mind, but surely no rational person was expecting Stewart Downing to power a side into title challengers?
a top 4 finish is pretty much in the bag. even if you don't have much faith in us the likes of arsenal and liverpool are just so awful we can probably fall over the line from here.
6-5-6 from here would get us to 69 and that's surely gonna be enough. neither of arsenal or liverpool look remotely capable of getting to 70.
Saudi Sportswashing Machine didn't lost by one goal - or two - they were totally outplayed finally! just shows what 1 or 2 players can bring/take away from a club, if the coach is not astute enough.nothing to do with a massively dodgy penalty for the home side totally changing the game, massive fook up by Lee Mason
Negredo just scored with his noggin. He's looked decent tonight.
Maximum number of achievable points for the top 7 (current number of points):
City 102 (51)
United 99 (48)
Spurs 97 (46)
Chelsea 89 (41)
Arsenal 87 (36)
Saudi Sportswashing Machine 84 (36)
Liverpool 83 (35)
We need 42 points to guarantee a top 4 finish and none of them are going to win the rest of their games. Arse, Pool and Saudi Sportswashing Machine will all struggle to get past 70 given their form so far.
