To even suggest that Hernandez has an all-round game in the same league as Tevez would be absurd, so well done for not doing that.It says a lot that Cech can suffer a potentially life-threatening head injury in a match, come back and still be a better all-round keeper than De Gea - who is an excellent shot stopper, but that's never going to be the type of keeper United need and he's still a relative weak link in a far from vintage side.
United, despite their domestic record this season, are in a transition phase whereby older players are needed to patch up the fact that the younger generation isn't ready yet. Both City and Chelsea have a stronger starting XI, but not enough options beneath that. City fall to pieces when the Kompany-Toure spine is missing and Chelsea are still struggling to create a new identity after spending far too long reliant on the old Terry-Lampard-Drogba spine.
I think Tevez is Citeh's best player on his day, probably the only Citeh play who I fear when we play them. Hernandez is a goalscorer, and that's it, similar to RvN in this sense, but RvN was a better player than Tevez is.
Still don't agree that Citeh & Chelsea have better XIs than us, though.
Hopefully we buy 1/2 central midfielders in the summer.

Rafael > Zabaleta all day long.
And Tevez isn't the same player now that he was for United (Chicharito has been more prolific at United than him), different kettle of fish. He was very underwhelming and only really looked half decent when Citeh built a team around him.
And Gareth Barry should not be starting for a team that is fighting for a league title. To even suggest he'd 'waltz' into our team is delirious, to be frank.
VDS was the best goalkeeper in Europe at one point during his time at United, the same cannot be said of Cech, who hasn't been the same since he was forced to wear his silly swimming cap.

Not having it that a team consisting of Zabaleta, Barry, Nasri, Tevez & Clichy are better than United on paper, they just aren't.
And I'm glad people are starting to come to terms with the fact De Gea is the best goalkeeper in the league, and Hart is just another typical overrated English boy who makes one too many mistakes in big games.

09. The New Division - Kids My UP entry in the contest before last, the fact you didn't remember it when you partook probably means it hasn't stuck so I'm not surprised at the neutral rating! I really love this, don't know much else about them except they are an LA quartet.
I've exchanged emails with The New Division in the past few years. They took their name from Joy Division & New Order, they've never toured/performed in Europe, sadly.
Their best song, in my eyes is 'True Lies'.
great, great track.

Arguably my favourite live band, but every time I've seen them they've been the support act (doesn't do them justice).

Coyle posses a great set of lungs, many compare it to Brandon Flowers & Tom Chaplin of The Killers and Keane, respectively.
& here they are making a terrible song sound great;
They really are one of the up-and-coming English bands, and they've already had quite a lot of exposure over in America, with guest appearances on TV shows such as Letterman.
I recommend everyone go see them if they get the chance.
