Great result by WBA and a great performance as well. Not too many better centre midfields in the league.
Great for Reading as well although Everton shit the bed, had a bunch of chances to win.
Delighted for Southampton, drills a fucking stake into that cunt Hughes' heart as well.
Liverpool looked good every time I flicked onto them, Suarez is a delight to watch. He really is.
City, expected them to win but tough fucking penalty calls. Neither should have been called.
Newcastle lol. Come on Pards, get the act in gear
Knobbed by two penalty decisions as well. Unlucky. Lambert's doing the right thing.

I don't think you can put that shocking team selection down to the winter blip. That was just grim.
Also, I lost faith in Torres a while back, but I will never understand people, like my brother no less, who feel Sturridge is somehow a better option. Two fucking tubes.

I can't believe I only just saw this:
Juventus fans in London.
Edit: Except they sing about Amauri at one point, otherwise amazing.

Maybe I was a bit harsh I just thought we played well, just happy that we won at the end of the day.
I blame a few things:
Not improving the first team and playing 4-4-2 with a partnership that doesn't work. Today we played well but Swansea strengthened well in the summer.
My final update.
I made another amatuer mistake on my betting slip. I put down 2.5 in the first half instead of 2.5 over 90 mins in the toon game.
You never cease to amuse me dc. <3
GOOOOOOLLLLLL, LA JUVE IN GOOOOOL, FINO AL NOVANTESIMOOOOO, CHE FATICA CHE TI CHIEDOOOOO, FORZA JUVE FACCI UN GOOOOOL!!!
We have the best (away) fans in Italy, that's for sure.

I'm also speaking as a neutral (one who wanted Spurs to win, even) and I think you're being a tad unfair.
There were some areas Spurs were superior in and more could have come out of it for them if they had retained 11 men. Vertonghen was great I thought, Bale looked like he could turn things around but had to much of a burden on himself, and Spurs had multiple opportunities to bring it to 4-3 or even 4-4.
But that said, its not like Arsenal's goals were particularly fortunate. They played and passed well - you can't blame them for continuing to put in a full effort against a team down to 10.
Podolski (despite scoring that janky goal) looked pretty poor, and Vermaelen was ehh..
I stopped watching after the first half, just reading the reports now.
We had bad luck last week and again this week it would seem. but we weren't expected to get any points in either anyway so *shrug*. No injures. No one sent off. Just move on.
Don't lie, you've got an AVB dressing gown.
Class performance from Liverpool second half, Rodgers is the man. Henderson was my man of the match, and I'm chuffed as fuck that Brendan threw him on.

Great second half performance, particulalry from Enrique, Allen, Henderson, Sterling and obviously Suarez
Wigan can feel justifiably aggrieved by our third goal though. In the space of a minute, we got a throw in after Suarez lands his studs on someone's ankle, which was worth at least a booking. Then a crossfield pass deflects off Suarez's head and goes out, which is given as our throw, which we score from

Glad I found a stream with Fabio Caressa. Can't stand the ESPN commentators.
I'm not saying Arsenal were bad, not at all, just that the scoreline looks like they were as good as they were last season and they definitely weren't. I dunno, Salva asked how it went and I just thought Arsenal weren't great.
Cazorla was fantastic and Giroud played well. Standouts for me.
Hmm. Think this is the first time that RDM had truly goofed up for a while. Next two ganes are oh so vital for us.

Yes but by virtue of the fact we didn't strengthen we have the same team as last year, and last year we didn't lose two games in a row at home. We're a shadow of the team of last season.

Hope you guys stay up, always liked Southampton for some reason
Yeah but we're not playing the same teams as last season.
GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD!

Hughes deserves this for clearly throwing the match against City in May once they'd stayed up. You all know it to be true.
Lol awesome avatar. Who's next in the series? Barton probably too low profile, playing in France and all. Pepe doesn't have a very good troll face.
MAAAN Suarez's first goal was a great finish. Not an easy one to score at all. Sterling's pass was just a tad behind him, but he still managed to make a peach out of it.
So happy tonight.

He goofed against Swansea as well, im certain Mata wasn't injured and that he was just resting him.
Adkins is very likeable, and I've always love Le Tiss!
Made up with our performance today, we looked class against a very capable Wigan team. Henderson was immense.
Nasri maybe? he does make a duck-face quite often :lol

We'd need to do something. Because our last string of results have been pathetic.

I thought Chelsea would struggle in November and so far it's proving to be the case. Just don't think they've got enough in their squad to cope with the fixture rush. We'll see though, early days yet.
It would be nice if they bounced back next week and took points off City.
United have to win this evening. Won't be easy. Giggs in CM and no Rooney.

I disagree. Besides, we cannot be too reliant on him.
I'm expecting the usual shite. United will go behind and play like shit for 45 minutes then suddenly wake up and win it in the second half.
Enrique was magnificent. They just showed the highlights on Setanta and he was unstoppable. He created a ton of chances
Dammit Fergie
I think we'll win 2-1, play shite and edge it.
How strange football is, that both Enrique and Stirling could barely provide anything for Suarez first half to assists for both in 15 minutes of the second. It wasn't entirely clear why Wigan broke down so in the second half, unless perhaps it was trying to chase the goal they conceded after a mistake. Certainly the Henderson sub had an effect. It was interesting to see the formation of Liverpool once he came on, since it seemed considerably more like a 4-3-3 than the 4-2-3-1 that has dominated with Sahin and Shelvey playing. And the team seemed better suited to it. Whether Henderson will get more games or Lucas' return will end that remains to be seen; most would hope Henderson gets more of a chance.
Other thoughts:
-Think it took a little while for Liverpool to get used to the formation, with Enrique wide left and Stirling right despite the Chelsea game last week. Once there was some kind of understanding between Johnson and Enrique everything became a lot better. Wisdom did fine, he's not going to be an attacking force but otherwise no problems.
-Reina on his return was good. Nothing really to deal with though, but than again that's a good way to ease him back
-Enrique has a real eye for those longer through balls to Suarez; perhaps because of the Tiki-Taka system the other players are afraid to attempt such balls? Still, nice to have someone thinking a little differently
-Allen much better after last week, perhaps thanks to Henderson taking some of the 'weight' off
All in all, a very nice performance.

Right, vote-time:
Kick Morsel out of the league
Give him his fiver, kick him out
Keep him in
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
holy fuckWatson's broken his leg in the collision with Sterling. That sucks.
Agree, such a tank going forward. He did some pirouette at one point that just made me go 'oooo' like one of the green aliens from Toy Story.
Love your avatar
Our next games: Norwich, Arsenal, Man City, Tottenham & Stoke
Yeah, not feeling it at the moment.

We better not play shite. This is the first United game I'm watching in 2 weeks.
I bet we draw though.
We haven't drawn a game this season.
