Manchester United has been the most dominant force in the Premier League for 20 years, but that timne has come to a close. The recent resurgence of their rivals, Manchester City, has made them move into second place. They will remain in 2nd place (if they are lucky) for some time to come.

The title winning Manchester City team was nearly flawless. Attacking prowess was in no short amount led by Sergio Aguero, Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko. These three strikers combined for 50 goals in the league, and this is without their main threat, Carlos Tevez, who took a 6 month vacation to Argentina during the season after a bust up with manager Roberto Mancini.

FA Team of the Year members David Silva and Yaya Toure lead a midfield packed with talent that also includes Nigel De Jong and Samir Nasri, who all played instrumental parts in City's first title winning campaign in over 40 years.

Many believe defense can be pointed out as the weakest unit. But Vincent Kompany is a rock in the back leading a lineup packed with talent and one of the best goalkeeps in the world in Joe hart.

I will explain the faults of Man United and why Chelsea and Arsenal will pose serious threats.


No one cares about soccer fruitcake. Reasons why soccer sucks:

1. Anyone can play. Fat kids, nerds, the fruity kid who you know is gay. When a guy with no arms can play you know you have issues.

2. Time is counted up. Thats how stupid these soccer idiots are. They count time the wrong way.

3. Its intended for the mentally handicapped. Really, kick a ball around for 90 mins. Doesn't take a genius to figure out how it works.

4. Fans kill themselves and set eachother on fire. Left should do the same.

5. Diving. Not explanation needed.

6. Soccer players are p ussies.

7. Soccer players b low one another.

8. No scoring except the players who do one another.

9. Soccer idiots point to popularity. Its only popular because its inexpensive to play even the handicapped, poor, stupid, fat can play. Grab a ball and kick it around like a doofus.

10. Because I said so.


Jeez thanks for arguing my throwdown?

1. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. I know many people play it because its the only sport they can afford to play, but they are many affluent people throughout Europe, and the Americas that play soccer.

2. The sports TV ratings are growing at a substantial rate, and you shouldnt write that off.

3. You may call them **** but I wouldnt say that to someone like this fella. See what he has to say.

4. And just a word of advice, before you call people idiots for counting up, you should realize that most of the world counts up (military time).

I get it you hate soccer, but nice try buddy.


1. No one cares.

2. No one cares.

3. No one cares.

4. No one cares.

5.


No comeback to your careless mistake on counting up? Or would you like to call that guy a **** to his face? Heres some elegance for you. Learn up, this guy is going to be a bigger household name than any US athlete, if he isnt already...

QUOTE(#18):

How cute, left created a dupe for himself to vote with. This TD will never finish idiot so don't even try that crap with me.

I was just gonna say...

Let me point out how obvious the MichaelPhelps dupe account is.

If you click here:
http://www.fannation.com/community/fans

MichaelPhelps (account # 2357506, in case the name is changed) is literally the most recent account created on FanNation. As of right now, it has zero comment history, let alone throwdowns or blogs. It has no friends, no images... hasn't even uploaded an avatar.

Yet between 9:07 and 9:35 Eastern Time it has managed to vote in all three throwdowns between Schweinsteiger and JimJ (most of which JimJ has yet to receive a vote in his favor, so it's pretty obvious who MichaelPhelps is voting for).

I'm not one to typically toss around dupe accusations but this looks like a pretty open and shut case.

So with that said, I had initially voted left. Because as crazy as it sounds I really don't hate soccer. And trolling of soccer throwdowns by FN vets gets old to me.

But I can never vote for a duper. So I have to change my vote right.
