The same board that signed Andy Carroll, gave Diame a small release clause and put a 'free transfer' relegation clause in Ba's contract? Shock. I'd love Ravel here though.

Captain Rooney dropped, Silva is vice. At least he's playing. I have 8 players MAXIMUM because there's no Rooney, Ramsey, Clyne, Vlaar, Brady or Ravel. All those that have Yaya, Zaba or Negredo too. Disaster.

West Ham 2-0 West Brom Aston Villa 0-1 Swansea Hull 2-2 Fulham Man City 4-0 Crystal Palace Norwich 2-3 Man Utd Cardiff 0-1 Sunderland Everton 2-1 Southampton Newcastle 1-3 Arsenal Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool Tottenham 2-0 Stoke

Silva for Oscar.

Absolutely untouchable yesterday, a magical performance. He's just phenomenal to watch in person, a pure genius. I never want him to leave.

No way are these going down, imo. I know they're only beating the top clubs but the fact they're within touching distance with those upcoming fixtures is great for them. They'll beat Cardiff too

Finally a decent week. The Walcott sub went superbly and Rooney was the right striker to captain

GW18: Hull 1-2 Man Utd Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace Cardiff 0-0 Southampton Chelsea 3-1 Swansea Everton 2-0 Sunderland Newcastle 2-1 Stoke Norwich 1-2 Fulham Tottenham 1-0 West Brom West Ham 1-3 Arsenal Man City 2-2 Liverpool

He's deranged to be happy with this but god bless him!

They'll meet the asking price, our only hope is that we can put it off til the summer.

Every 'good' week sees everyone else doing better, it's doing my head in. I'm pining for the wildcard but, more than that, pining for next season. My brother is a prick too. He's finally overtaken me and - knowing exactly which transfers I plan to make - is doing them too. Bellend!

All those years of Spurs being the model club to aspire to and theyve undone it in one move. Amazing.

Finally get a home game on Boxing Day, so it'll be great to be there. Santa hats all around! Unless Pardew is smart enough to rotate in Yanga-Mbiwa/Ben Arfa etc, I think it'll just be Shola for Tiote. 2-1 to Newcastle.

Not really. People would've just watched Liverpool win again and been persuaded. They're serious title challengers this year, mainly due to the fact it's such an open league. Well I bet a normal sample of 100 football fans wouldn't have Liverpool on top. General consensus is it's Man City, Arsenal or Chelsea.

Slightly rigged poll there, I reckon Justice for the poll.

Yeah that was class. He's much more likeable when he's not managing the mackems.

Just tweeted BBC about that poll, mind. Can't believe we're not included! @BBCMOTD Not including Newcastle in your poll, shocking (but unsurprising) from the BBC. You scared, brah? #nufc

That Januzaj dive was disgraceful, like.

Depressing score for them, scraping a 0-0 at home to Norwich. The table doesn't look too bad for them tbh and their fixture list looks decent after New Year but they're an awful team. Hopefully the first weekend in February will be their spiritual relegation because time really is running out. GET IN

Amazing yet again. Finally showing his true quality, he mastered this match

How easy was this? Not used to this indestructable feeling at all. Palace have been on good form and we just steamroller them at their place. Another away win, another clean sheet and another pleasing performance. 6pts off the top. How is this happening? Long may it continue, we look fantastic right now.

Great cameo, absolutely love the guy. Insanely talented, he'll rip Stoke to shreds if given the opportunity. Still don't think AP will start him though.

Rooney starts

It's not even fun to have Suarez anymore. Every rival has him, probably as captain - it's just like Ramsey! Any player that doesn't have Suarez isn't worth worrying about.

Win and they'll be fine but lose and it's almost time to write the eulogies.
