Pleased with the win today. Thought Kelly and Enrique were outstanding. Henderson also played well.

Just wondering, how many games is Joey Barton thinking of refereeing this season? Admittedly, he is a wanker, but he was only pointing out a decision that quite clearly should have been given. Cattermole should have been booked about 3 times in the first half alone. Quite pleased with the win, although I would have taken a draw before kick off! |

It wasn't just the foul I made a reference to, he hassled the ref all game. There was a foul in the 1st half (can't remember who made it) and he wouldn't shut the  up for atleast 5 minutes. Also noticed when he went down the tunnel at full time he provoked the Sunderland fans by blowing a kiss or something, he's meant to be a professional for sake. Think Cattermole should be dropped or even sold tbh, such a liability. The foul on Cabeye that gave him the yellow, honestly thought he was already on a yellow and was fearing he'd be sent off....that's how much confidence I have in him. |

Barton's like that friend that's a complete idiot, but he's your idiot... if that makes sense? haha. |

Great game between Bolton and Manchester City today. Just hope they don't decide to start playing all defensive again because they conceeded two goals.
They have, bay far, been the most entertaining team this season.

So pleased for Welbeck, he's taken his 1st team chance brilliantly and hope he manages to stay in the team for as long as possible.

Sick of United just dominating everything. Sure they will win the title again this season. They did play well tonight, though. Tottenham's game plan seemed to just be shot from 25+ yards.

Spurs played well for 60 minutes of the game, as soon as the first goal went in their heads dropped and that was that. Disappointing, but I wasn't surprised considering we're missing a quality striker who needs to be bought in as well as Sandro and Modric.

Hmm I had high hopes for Spurs but they were absolutely outclassed from what I saw, got in at about 55 mins. Harry wants to win the title but he is a million miles away, mainly because his team were frightened of United. United look a fantastic side, no doubt about it, first time I've enjoyed watching them in ages.

United will win th league this year - minus Sneijder or not, but Spurs were just as good if not better in the first half and had more shots (albeit most from 20 yards) and had chances to take the league, mainly through Lennon and Van Der Vaart. Spurs should and could have got a draw out of the game, and I'm quite pissed to see the heads drop after 1 goal, I did think that both all our defence played well, especially Assou-Ekotto, really impressed with him in the last year, turning into one of the league's best LBs, Friedel was also outstanding and kept us in the game for a lot longer that we were.

1st half was dead even, but we showed our class after the first goal. Spurs relied far too much on shooting from distance - its a solid tactic as De Gea has proved nervy from long shots, but they shot from distance several times when they could've gone a fair bit closer. Think they might get top 4 though, and Friedel was outstanding.
Our youngsters look amazing, Jones in particular was very solid. Also pleased that we went up from 1 shot on target vs WBA to about 12 yesterday.
Also, Arsenal are officially no longer a "big club" according to Wenger himself.

How long before Wenger gets the chop then?
Arsenal fans calling for him to be sacked on Twitter etc, seems very odd to me. Arsenal would be a hell of a lot worse off without him! Wenger's an arsehole, but an outstanding manager, any club would be lucky to have him. Arsenal fans wouldn't have had the success they've seen in recent years without Wenger.

Wenger will be asked to walk at some stage, probably at the end of the season, although if they don't qualify for the CL it could be soon. They'd never sack him, he's earnt the dignity of walking away.
Don't think anyone can improve them in the short term, and tbh the fans will just complain when the new manager brings in older players and makes the style less tippy tappy in order to win things.

I'm not so sure they wouldn't sack him, Giggsy. Has he earned the respectable option of walking away? Yes. Will they just sack him if he doesn't make the CL? Damn straight.

Even if the fans want him gone they would be unhappy to see him kicked out like that. If they want him to leave they'll tell him behind closed doors to make it look like he went out with his head high, hence asking him to walk. Its if he refuses that the problems start. |
