Ben Arfa gets massively slated or people go crazy over him. It's a bit of a joke

That's a depressing list. Especially the last 3.

It's only half time lads, and they seem to be in control of the game. Villa just sitting back.

Wish Shola would get in the box, Cabaye sits far too deep. Sissoko needs to get into the game.

Van Persie has done it over a longer period of time, but Suarez is unreal this season.

Depends how much more Short wants to put in. Can see a couple out possibly in order to raise funds. Possibly Giaccherini. Can Short afford to put money in without a sale though because of FFP?

How much do they have to spend in Jan? I think it was the Telegraph said they have 10 mill to spend. Can't be right?

Yep, I just hope they have a canny FA cup run to distract them from the league, with us knocking them out.

This season however it is mid table.

1.16 points per game or so I read?

Since Poyet took over they have mid table form tbf.

They aren't though. I'm an obsessed mag, I check their results before I check ours.

Got a bird pal.

Fulham got spanked by Hull....

Wouldn't have been the worst scenario for him to get booked tbh

Personally, I hate that. You know what I meant.

Been away over Xmas, and Yaya © didn't play Ozil (v) didn't play. Had a right mare. Wildcard used. Mannnone, Bardsley, Chamakh, Walcott, Debuchy all in.

They have a decent run coming up, they haven't lost in 5. They seem to be playing Villa and Fulham at the right time. 6 points from that is a must for them. Also love how it was always a given we would beat them, now its a given they will beat us.

Their perfomances aren't exactly bad, they aren't getting spanked like Fulham.

Still not safe yet IMO

Just think he's spent poorly, and didnt really prepare for the Premier League too well.

Lets be honest though, Mackay isn't going to cut it long term as a Premiership manager. He's in the Hughton bracket, nice guy and done well at a troubled club in the Championship, but he's out of his depth at this level.

That was under Di Canio. With teams as shit as these two anything could happen really.

Hopefully he will have a cracking world cup and add on 10 mill to his value, I expect France to flop massively though.

Yeah, probably 4-2 City. City are unstoppable at home.
