I hate this player so, so much. I've stopped using words to describe him and resorted to painful wailing.

In the 60s thanks to Kompany, Nani, Yakubu, Enrique, Sessegnon and Van Persie.

He was shocking today, but he's still a key player for us. Tonight showed that whilst he's normally great for us, he's some way off Chelsea/Man Utd level. People need to stop the hyperbole and accept that he's just had a bad night.

No way are we getting anything from this. No chance. Krul Simpson Williamson Coloccini Raylor Cabaye Tiote Vuckic Ben Arfa Jonas Ba

We've thrown away that incredible start with another poor performance. Pardew got us playing the high line, it clearly didnt work and yet he stuck with it. Defensively we were shambolic and despite having less of the ball, they looked much more likely to score. Obertan shouldn't exist - I'd rather have a mop on the right. Tiote was very poor today, hopefully Chelsea and Man U scouts were there to see that. Vuckic was alright tbh Coloccini was bested by Long again and again Ben Arfa lit the game up and I loved the 'Hatem Ben Arfa' chants before he came on Krul can't kick Absolutely livid.

My sympathy is with Alkmaar, like. By stepping on the pitch, a fan should be aware of the consequences - he could have a weapon so should be seen as dangerous. As for the ref.....he's stuck to the rules, but the rule is stupid.

One of them puts Ryan Taylor in there

I wanted to, but couldn't find anyone to take Tiote's place. It gets tricky.

FourFourTwo have just done something similar, but with only one player per team http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/fanseyeview/archive/2011/12/20/fourfourtwo-com-readers-premier-league-xis.aspx I think we've done this before too, but I'd go: Vorm Walker Vidic Samba Baines Tiote Lucas Dempsey Silva Mata Van Persie

If we got Vertonghen we'd be overachieving, but in a slightly realistic way akin to Cabaye and Ben Arfa. Lets do it!

We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas And a happy New Year Good tidings we bring To you and your kin We wish you a Merry Christmas And a happy New Year

They're showing mackem levels of cringe. I don't think they realise what they're saying

yep, good luck it is a winnable game, although we couldn't even beat these with a 3-0 head start! probably 1-1 this time.

This news is perfection Hate Liverpool with a passion and Suarez is a little shithead. Its wonderful to see the FA grow some balls for once and I'm sure John Terry will have a nervous christmas (if he cares). Racists need to be punished, especially when its someone like Suarez who - without cheating - is nothing. We could begin to overtake Liverpool and as a potential knock-on effect, Liverpool may not go for Tiote if they need to get a striker. But yeah, fantastic news!

Out of our saleable assets (krul, colo, tiote, cabaye, ben arfa) i'd rather it be Krul but if we're to progress as a team, we cant sell our stars. Its so simple and its frustrating that Ashley cant see this. We'll sell if bids come in, but i dont actually think they will in january.

He was....yesterday.

Reina Richards Vidic Coloccini Enrique Tiote Yaya Toure Nani Silva Bale van Persie BENCH: Krul, Kompany, Evra, Modric, Mata, Aguero, Rooney

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/20876/7388074/Blues-lead-Rodwell-chase Sky Sports think Chelsea are gonna get Rodwell, so lets hope and pray they do.

His performance got him the maximum 3 bonus points in Fantasy Premier League this week. Proof thats almost as solid as FM.

I had Kompany (6) and Assou-Ekotto (5) on the bench although at least I had Vorm (7), Santon (6), Enrique (6) and Jones (5). A poor weekend for goals though... By the way, I assumed this week was a doubler and picked the team accordingly.....but are they counting midweek as a new gameweek?

Slightly

Theres potential for changing 'Rock A Bye Baby' to 'Yo Cabaye baby'. Get to work!

Derdiyok, Cisse, de Jong, Giroud, Roux.

Especially for a near 28 year old
