Theyre all ifs and buts, those things have actually happened to us though, they haven't to them, therefore right now they have a better team than us in my eyes, it's all well and good saying 'but we have Suarez out for 8 games', 'but we have Lucas out for a season', I don't think they'd be too arsed come May if they finish above us.
So the answer to my question, "Is it who has the better starting 11 at the moment", is yes.
So if that's how we are going so I'll stil say you're talking shite.
Krul is having a boss season.Agreed.Not better then Pepe, but this year is just in that incredible form.
Back 4, nobody off Newcastle would get in.
Midfield, Newcastle only have Guthrie and Cabaye available. Stevie is better then Cabaye, and I'd argue a case for Henderson/Adam/Spearing being at least as good as Guthrie(that's being generous).
Gutierrez is good, but rather Kuyt-like. Not a difference for me. Ben Arfa is a talent, definately. Bellamy is boss though,as is Maxi just as good. Bellamy/Ben Arfa too injury prone though.
Strikers available are Leon best and Shola Ameobi. As shite as Andy has been, Leon Best isn't much of an improvement.
So you're own logic makes no sense, as I know you will probably argue this.
