"it is very simple England need to concentrate on passin g the ball,keeping possession.there is only one side in the premier league that is 3/4 decent at this.. Arsenal." (GSS)

I am a fan of Manchester City, so I am afraid I will beg to differ on that one. It was the patient holding of the ball and the imaginitive ways which the team found to break two lines of four which made City such a joy to watch for most of the past season. I also think our players scored a few more goals than Arsenal this time around... I wonder if this move has escaped your memory!

Excuse me being puckish, but as it happens, I agree with your first and last sentences.
