Several good players get no respect because of that shirt. You're right. He gets nowhere near the respect that a 0 goals in 8 striker should have

Oh no

Someone call the fire department, there's a Tyneside blaze.....

Barring injuries, Aguero & Suarez must be season keepers, like. Both are consistent and capable of going off on one. Love it

West Brom are always tough to play against, they'll be canny. Think we'll draw tbh, although I'm going to this game and we normally do well when I'm there

At home, City are mesmerising (4-0 vs Newcastle, 4-1 vs Man U, 7-0 vs Norwich, 6-0 vs Spurs) but throw in a Nasri/Milner/Kolarov away day and they're losing at Sunderland, Cardiff and Villa. They're frighteningly inconsistent - who are the real Man City?

It's going well thanks to Suarez, Giroud, Aguero and Oscar but I had Lampard all the way until this week

It's us, Everton, Southampton and Swansea to complete the top 10, probably.

One of my faves tbh, always was. There's a good vibe about him.

If you're gonna try a Beckham-Scholes corner, why the hell would you give it to Tiote?!?!

If they escape Villa Park without a win, they're in real trouble again.

2 years, 1 month and 22 days of me hopelessly saying "This is the one" for every corner we get, praying we'd finally score that goal and end the streak. Guess who sat in a stream-less pub for the first 10 minutes? I'm such an unlucky bastard!

I can't express the pain of putting up with Lampard getting 2 after 2 after 2, taking him out and watching him score tonight EDIT: Then again, Oscar is doing a fine job

Suarez and Giroud have saved me, I think. Everyone else did poorly, with just Terry, Oscar and Aguero to come.

Best game I've seen in a long, long time.

This is a really enjoyable match.

A poor team under normal circumstances, they're not playing Snodgrass, Bassong or van Wolfswinkel. We're losing this, aren't we?

Shame but not really a shock. Would've loved to see Ben Arfa start.

Should be a red.

One isn't playing, one is captain and already on a goal & assist. Phew!!!

Assist for Captain Suarez!

Swap the full backs around the proper way. I'd do it like that too, but it was left back where MYM excelled at the end of last season.
