Did you watch the game? Smith and Gremi prob had their best games for us. Esescially Smith. The team as a whole performed much better 2nd half, and a soon as Enrique went to left back i always fancied us to get the 3rd. Smith seemed to revel up front, albet it was for oly 10 minutes. As soon as we win Smith and Geremi suddenly start playing well in some people's eyes, had those two put in the same performance today and we had lost people would be going crazy at them. But like the game against Bolton both did OK, nothing more, but because we win people automatically overate them and don't see the faults.

Dunne got a bonus point this week despite being at fault for all three of Fulham's goals.

and then what happened?

Looks like they stole the goals from a kids back yard as well.

What surface are they playing on? Looks like a giant gymnastic mat.

Well I am still not seeing Smith contributing enough. Both he and Geremi are being carried somewhat at the moment, the latter was thoroughly outshone by Butt today and Smith again failed to get into the game.

It was a very similar game to Bolton in regards to both the performance and result, there were very bright areas in terms of the full backs, but equally there are clearly some parts of the team that still need some major work and attention which you have highlighted.

City are knocking the ball around like Arsenal.

Man City playing some nice stuff.

Van Persie, an unused sub.

Wow, how good are we? A draw against Derby would have been a good result aye Sam?

The Gas Man is now off.

Are you watching from the Solomon Islands?

Yep, I finally binned Fat Frank for Fabregas this weekend.

Van Persie is my captain, it's been a terrible few weeks for my Prem League fantasy team. Dropping like a stone.

Wenger has left Van Persie on the bench, bastard!!

Who's idea was it to take pictures in a darkened room? You can barely see some of the black players. http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/76939780.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193861A1C1D75ABE90BAE97CB09F3355C47 Oh, looks like Pattison has a new tattoo. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/Sparkynufc/pat11.jpg Just kidding, we love you Matty! even though you you're probably out on the piss right now.

Pointless and very unnecessary from Allardyce.

When are people going to accept that the England managers job is probably one of the worst in the world.

Managers who get fired often do crazy things in the aftermath, like joining clubs they really shouldn't be. Largely motivated by the desire to get back at their former employers. Pardew was a good example last season. So I wouldn't say it would be impossible for us to get him here, were never going to fire Allardyce though.

Not a huge surprise, things have fallen gradually flat at Chelsea in the last 18 months. To many bad buys, poor football, inability to progress in Europe, losing the Premiership. He was refreshing, but now his comments and excuses have just become an irritant.

You were unfortunate enough to go then?

24,900 at Stamford Bridge!!

Any idea why Shakhtar let Elano go?
