Oh, and while we're at it, who will we be contributing to the team of the season?
Surely it can't only be Nasri and Sagna? Who else is worthy of being on the Premier League top 11 from our team? Song?
Just finished talking about this with a friend, I came up with this team so far;
Hart - not outstanding, has made some bad errors, but there's just no one else. Fabianski probably isn't a million miles away, but as has been said above, what has gone before lives long in the memory.
Sagna - not much I need to say is there?
Kompany - he's been consistently good, although far from perfect.
Vidic - same really. Had good spells, followed by indifferent ones. Djourou's form in the last 2 months has been on par, but it took him a while to find his feet.
Baines - if Clichy had played as he has in the last 6 weeks for the whole season, he'd be comfortably ahead. Cole and Evra have been poor this year, so that leave Baines, who is far from an outstanding candidate (recurring theme?).
Nani - had some hot games, where he's really shone, but he's not had a particularly outstanding season. It was between him and Bale - Nani's far superior stats won it for him. Walcott wasn't far of either.
Song - not a great start, but he's come on so strong in the last 6 weeks or so. Some massive performances over the Christmas period, when the whole League was watching. His Chelsea performance was as good a midfield performance as I've seen.
Charlie Adam - I've been really impressed whenever I've watched him, he runs the show for Blackpool. What a left foot he has. Modric and Wilshere were close. Fabregas just hasn't played enough.
Nasri - probably the best player in the League thus far. Carried us for months when Robin and Cesc were absent.
Tevez - 2nd best player in the League. Scored some great goals, and has carried City at times.
Carroll - not his biggest fan, but first season in the League, under alot of pressure from expectant fans, and he's scored 11 goals in 19 games. Can't argue with that. Berbatov loses out because he scored 8 of his 14 goals in 2 games, and was shit alot of the other ones.
