Pleased that Muniain has played really well. On the few occasions I've watched him before he hasn't really looked as good as he'd been touted to be, but he looks really up for it tonight, not at all unnerved by playing away at ManUre. Really promising.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! GO ON ATHLETIC!! Lush Michael Laudrup-esque spoon pass, mind.

Exactly. Clearly some hack asked him about the possibility of signing Van Persie, with the intent of reporting whatever he said back.

Back of today's Mirror: "Roberto Mancini last night revealed he wants to sign Arsenal's goalscoring sensation Robin van Persie. The Manchester City manager has hailed Van Persie as "one of the best strikers in Europe" and says he will target him in the summer." Turn to page 71 for Mancini's quotes: "I think he is a fantastic striker, but I think he will remain with Arsenal. I think if there is a good player who wants to leave a club, then we are interested. But if this player wants to stay, we don't have any problem. In my opinion Van Persie will stay at Arsenal. I think Robin van Persie will sign a new contract with Arsenal..." Does anyone have the number of the Court of Arbitration for Sport?

In a similar vein to Joe Kinnear's fetish for big black strikers? Remember when he came in and Shola was suddenly enthusiastic.

In that case, George Best was wank.

How does this happen too? F**k knows, she had an absolutely slamming body but massive botox lips, Cuprinol-level fake tan and aaful extensions. Would've ridden her like Seabiscuit once I'd ascertained wether she was black or white (not in a racist way I just had no idea)

You what? How does that happen? Was stood on his left and held my right hand out for a handshake, he had a bag in his left hand and quickly passed it over to the right. I by now had resheathed the right hand and gone for the left but he was still going for the right. He just turned his hand around and grasped. There was an awkward three seconds of "are we shaking or holding here?"

Remember seeing Demba on Northumberland Street just after he signed, his lass was both awful and absolutely f**kin lush at the exact same time. Also saw Enrique Best walking down there together a while ago, this was before the hat-trick against West Ham and my first thought was "BLOODY HELL, THERE'S JOSE AND HIS MATE... erm Leon Best" EDIT: Once held hands with Mike Williamson in Schuh anarl

Mackems misinterpret "Top Dogs" and attempt to claim territory by doing toilet on it. More on that story at 11.

The above poster has a commendable taste in music.

Thank f**k they've sacked him now so we don't have to hear about him being sacked soon anymore.

I'm awake. I'm confident.

Reading through the last few pages of this thread, as well as where some of the links sent me (some place called RTG, which I would've said I read but it didn't appear to be written in legible English) has changed my feelings on the derby from nervous anticipation to just really wanting us to absolutely ruin them. I hope we f*** them a monumental new arsehole. Also want Saturday to get out the way so it can happen sooner.

Also, Cabaye's hometown is twinned with Rochdale. Fancy that.

For some reason I misread "winner's pedigree" as "winner's eyebrows"

OMFGGG YESSSSSSS

It's funny because his surname is Kiss.
