Manchester City lost 2:1 to Everton! A match played with 10 players each for either side and in absolutely wicked -6 degrees of cold.

If Man City had won, they could have gone top of the Premiership table for the first time since the 1929-30 EPL season!

Hats of to Everton! Applause It won't be such a merry Christmas for Mancini and his men...

Unpredictable league so far...

I'm starting to get worried about the postponement of matches...I would have preferred if we'd met Chelsea on the back of our good run of form and while they were still recovering i.e. Lampard just back so not exactly match fit and Drogba still not at 100%.

Now, who knows when the game will be played and what form Chelsea will be in. The other thing is that there are still going to be more postponements since the snow is coming in thick and fast...what it'll result in is a time when a team will play up to 4 games in a week (heard it happened to Aston Villa sometime back)!

You can be sure that when that happens, only the teams with depth and not involved in too many competitions will survive. I really pray the Arsenal Chelsea game happens so that we can have a better picture of the standings...Arsenal have been awful at home and coupled with the lack of tenacity in games against the big two (in the words of Cesc) I see Chelsea winning maybe 2-1

That scoreline is unrealistic since aseno can't score against chelsea.

Read Cesc Fabregas comments carefully.

@TAZ..............Kumbe hata Wilshere hajulikani?

C&P

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli claimed he has never heard of Arsenal starlet Jack Wilshere when picking up the Tuttosport Golden Boy trophy on Tuesday.

Balotelli, who has barely played for City due to injury after joining the Eastlands club from Inter Milan in the summer, beat off competition from Wilshere to win the award, which recognises the best player under the age of 21.

Wilshere, a full England international, is seen as one of the brightest young prospects in the Premier League.

"I am delighted to receive this award,'' said Balotelli to Tuttosport. "Who should have won this award but me? Two years ago I finished sixth and a year ago fourth. It was finally my turn.

"I don't know who Wilshere is but the next time I play against Arsenal I will keep a close eye on him.
"Perhaps I can show him (Wilshere) the Golden Boy trophy and remind him that I won it!

"My aim is that this prize will, in the near future, transform itself into the Golden Ball Award. To have won this award is a good omen to achieve that.

"All I ask for is two things: to win the Premier League, in order to continue with the tradition I had at Inter of winning three consecutive league titles, and to clinch the Europa League - a trophy that I have not yet won, and a competition where we are considered favourites."

Chelsea have been unconvincing at the back hence the prediction

C & P

Balotelli also managed to slight Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney, Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas and Tottenham’s Rafael van der Vaart – all former winners of the award – by saying only one previous Golden Boy was better than him: “There’s only one that is a little stronger than me: [Lionel] Messi. All the others are behind me. The 20-year-old has shown only glimpses of talent since a £22m summer move from Inter Milan, but did not attempt false modesty on collecting his gong.

“I am delighted to receive the award, but who should have won it but me?” he said. “Two years ago I finished sixth, and then fourth in 2009. It was finally my turn.

I think Balotelli is one of the most over-rated players we have in football at the moment. I've never really seen anything special from this guy. Jack Wilshere is only 18 yrs Old yet he has already earned himself several call-ups to the National team. I really don't think Balotelli has a future in the English Premier League, his arrogance and lack of discipline everywhere will be his downfall.

“Because I am rich” – Balotelli’s response to police who asked why he was carrying £5,000 in cash

I agree with you Taz, Balotelli is just an arrogant attention deprived brat...but, if his raw talent was to be harnessed and he stopped the drama both on and off field, he'd be a force to reckon with - I say that as someone who has played football for a long time and can see deft touches from him that scream inborn talent.

I doubt the later will ever happen (an end to the drama that is)

Only one person can harness that raw talent while nipping his arrogance in the bud finally turning him to a world class player. Sir Alex Ferguson! Too bad for Balotelli coz his chances of ever being cached by SAF are slim to none!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

An ego the size of Mt Everest. He should try to emulate Messi (and the rest of the Golden Boys indeed) and let his football do the talking. But then he's a Prima Donna with attention seeking tendencies.
