Mike Jones now refereeing this game in place of Phil Dowd.

You know he could be better than before. Losing a little pace could be a good thing, not clattering into defenders, more time and control with the ball at his feet. Also an injury like that has got to build mental strength which can only be a good thing. I don't think he's lost pace myself, he doesn't really rely on pace anyway but he's definitely quick. Agree with your second point. Things can be learnt from his experience and may change his mentality for the better knowing he recuperated from his horrific injury as well as he did.

People were wondering whether he would return as good as he was before he broke his leg. Those fears have been quashed. Looking forward to him against Man United.

I fucking love Ben Arfa. Ben Arfa fanboy right here.

West Ham.

Fuck, aye! Forgot about bonus points.

but at the SAME time?! Shola's brain will implode. Shola doesn't need to, though. A few stepovers and a composed side-foot into the corner.

Carroll gets a minute.

That support is woeful. Love seeing Bruce getting agitated on the touchline. No analysis for Sunderland's game MAGEDIA!

Love Mick McCarthy's interviews.

Bruce's BBC interview after Fulham game: "We just needed that little bit of luck to come our way this afternoon but unfortunately it didn't. But we'll keep plugging away and i'm sure we will."

Echoed.

It would be very harsh but i would like to see Santon brought in for the next game, Raylor does terrible against better sides. Shame really, he's had a great start to the season.

44 points with José and VDV still to play, Van Persie © saved my skin this week.

Agree with most of the thoughts. City are an outstanding team and it wasn't a case of us playing badly. If Raylor hadn't handled and Ben Arfa didn't foul Richards, who knows what could've happened. Good performance from the lads but sad to see the unbeaten run end. Hopefully we can get something from the next two games. And Sammy had a terrific game imo, well done to him.

Reckon i should transfer Cabaye out for Ben Arfa? Want to shift Danny Murphy but don't know who to get.
