Jenas still got some hatred for sunderland. Good goal!

Townsend look very promising. Great goal!

Babayaro has to be one of the worst players we've ever had? Mbiwa looks to be on the other side of the scale!

Good result. Mbiwa and Haidara looks good. Good defensive game from us(wich also made it quite boring).

feels like christmas, millenium, birth of the messiah and return of the jedi all at once seeing hatem play for us again. Feels unreal.

Hope Ben Arfa could turn our success there? How long is Raylor out now?

Really looking forward to Stoke at home now. Playing like this im confident that we 3 points.

happy

It almost makes me think there might be something wrong with your votes. Atleast there was something wrong with our results

Voted 9 before the shopping spree. Voted 1 now. No chance. Amazing how things turnaround.

no words can explain that moment. fucking hell.

that was fucking brilliant. Cabayes pass, Gouffrans skills and Sissokos tapin. brilliant.

Harper has been good when needed before. Voted him.

With proper res, and Cisse banging one of his other big chances in, it would have been a brilliant performance. Hard to judge it with ref's corrupting a game.

Fucking poor ref. all in all okey game, but Cisse has to UP his game now. Can definately beat these guys next game.

Why the fuck is a ref's that usually vacate one of the poorest leagues in europa, ref in Europe League games? Makes no sense, they are cleary not up to it.

One of the ref's, is from the same town as me :\ little fucker he is.

Suarez is such a little fucker. Serves them right after he dived and whined all game.

With better competition up front, and maybe better luck with injuries, a top 6 looks very plausible. Even a good push for top 4 if we manage to keep all our "purples".

2 players i wont forget from the 00's are Miklos Feher and Marc Vivien Foe. Tragic.

co.uk reports a unchanged side. Happy with that

61% last year if I'm not mistaken. If we stay up, thats quite nice bearing in mind the new incomings from next years premier league.

Would be awesome if Mata AND Hazard didn't play. Almost feel like we have a fair chance then !

Unexpected win. But with our new midfield force and alot better squad depth im reducing my previous 9, to a 5. 50/50. We need to be able to play like the first half for more than 45 minutes. I understand we can't be in charge for 90 minutes, but we need to have some posession and create som chances in our, now standard, poor half. Sissoko, Debuchy and Gouffran looks a massive boost so far. Way more positive than just one week ago. (also MBiwa, but he hasn't started yet)
