City could face a transfer embargo if found to be in breach of financial fair play.

You jinxed it! 2-2 though, Pellegrini did say points would be dropped before the end if the season, but I think he meant Liverpool!

Massive failure for City if they don't win the league.

Breaking financial fair play and it looks like they've messed up with the best squad in the league.

how do you define the best squad in the league though? People might think someone else's has more technical quality in it but mentality, desire etc all plays a part in sport and if they don't have that then they are not as good as players that do.

Surely the only real way of doing that is seeing who wins the league?

From other threads, Kes says the semi-finalists of the CL are the best four teams in Europe due to them reaching that stage.

Surely then, by the same token, the best squad in the league is the one which leads the table?

It's not me trying to bang the drum for a particular team, just get irrit8ed by pundit led fans that always come out with the same old 'best team lost/team x had the best squad but came 2nd' etc

No, you can look at players technical ability and judge one to be better than another if you want but it is a whole package that includes a lot of mental strength and if they don't have that then they are not as good as players that do have it and achieve more.

I know Mourinho thinks that saying stuff likethis about Citeh takes all the pressure off of his players, I'm never entirely sure what effect Kes thinks he's having

I'd hate Chelsea to sneak the title now after the bullshit from Mourinho.

As stated elsewhere, I believe Chelsea will win the league.

the stuff from Mourinho is just the worst 'mind games' ever. no one believes it but utterly thick fanboys.

Elabor8....

By your logic, if a team has reached the last four of the top European club competition, they are one of the top four clubs in Europe.

Therefore if a team reaches the top of the league, they must be the best squad in the league.

The one which leads the table at the end I would say, as one team can be top having had easier fixtures

The one that leads the table is the best team, not necessarily the best sqaud.

What use is a great squad that can't win anything?

Liverpool's achievements this season, in spite of the plaudits they have received, are hugely under-rated. This is a squad with no depth (Victor Moses is their attacking sub, ffs), and a first-team including players like Henderson and Allen who last year were considered sub-standard.

United won the title last season with an ageing squad and no midfield.

Aren't debates about who has the best players for kids and fanboys? Oh, it was Kes who started this. Funny that.
