As much as I love Ben Arfa, he isn't captain material in my book. Nailed on penalty yesterday. A fair few dodgy decisions over the weekend.

If he follows the correct path, Barkley will be absolutely immense.

His left foot is real quality but his right foot is still dangerous. I don't think it's entirely fair to say he has a weaker foot. It's easy to sit on a sofa and give analysis on how to prevent a goal or how to nullify the opposition, but it's totally different when you're down on the pitch and he's running at you and it's almost like the ball is glued to his boot.

Holy shit.

Van Persie has a vague likeness, but my God what a hideous looking game that is.

Why did Guardiola just stop speaking to Zlatan? What is the story behind that?

Well done Harps. Sounded like a bit of a damp game but they got a very good turn-out, plenty money raised and a great send-off to a very respectable servant.

It's cuntish to throw missiles.

Fair play to him for that. Top journo.

Tiote ain't getting on no plane.

He loves it, the reception he'll receive won't bother him one iota.

Had a good moment before half time, shot on the turn but was practically straight at the keeper.

Not be a bad shout, may even be some of the same members kicking about who are interested in doing it all again. Our very own Order of the Phoenix.

We deserve answers from him. Pardews statement was pathetic, back peddling nonsense. He'll keep quiet though and continue as is. God knows what his plan actually is, if there is one. The grass isn't always greener, I just want him to sell up and take his crew with him.

We would go into games wanting to win, the change would be so different. We've got a much better squad now, he'd do better than his last spell and we played some good stuff towards the end of that season.

I don't think he'll ever manage this club again. He might be involved in some capacity but not while Ashley is here. I think we should move on.

SS1, starting up front on his own against MK Dons.

If he was a Berkley he'd be a Berkley menthol the soft shite.

Wilshere has been in for a bit rough treatment from the Moldovans tonight, often seems to be in for a kicking when he plays for England. Hope he can have an extended period of football without injury.

I thought a few years ago when I saw Welbeck starting out that he had wonderful technique, there was always something about him. His finishing has been wayward but if he sorts that out, he'll be a very canny player.

How's that for a finish!

I like Welbeck, he's a very sound footballer. Points on the board, bigger game on Tuesday against better opposition.

Decent enough line up. I wouldn't play Gerrard and Lampard together though, how many times have they looked decent together against decent opposition?

I see a lot of criticism of Hansen following his announcement, but where is his defence?

That's good, upto a point. He needs time on the pitch.
