Jose won't be too put out, he will be happy that he's still unbeaten and top of the league. How Costa got away with his nonsense with Zabaleta is beyond me. For long periods of the game City players were containing him and not letting him get the upper hand in the physical side of the game.

City were very unlucky not to win this game, they were by far the better side and the Chavs had cleary set out to park the bus. Costa hasn't got the same physical presence Drogba has and it showed today, Kompany was bouncing him all over the place. The sending off was very suspect, it was almost as if Costa was instructed to pick a fight with Zabaleta to get him red carded.

Shame on you PD. It a feckin game and though United lost today they scored some beautiful goals which is why I like football......and United. Now how the f*** they conceded 5 is another thing. So speak I who waited twenty something years for United to win the league. Now we've won it a few times I'm just happy to see some attractive football. We can't and won't win it every year. I don't care. I do hope you have to wait a good few more years though as you deserve to wait.

The undroppable Nolan has been injured, forcing his hand to the team's benefit, thankfully we've been playing well enough that Nolan will not walk back in (i'd be happy with him in a super-sub role but he can't do 90 mins in the Premiership anymore (*ahem -Gerrard)

Carol has been unavailable and Cole, even BFS can see, is not good enough as a target man, forcing a change in tactics

Our less senile chairman now has a major say in transfers....they've all been excellent

Downing's switch to the middle, which has been a revelation, was Sherringham's idea

What Quids said. Nolan's absence has seen Noble take more control in midfield and Downing is more involved without a target man to service; and Teddy has got the new signings on the front foot. Cresswell looks a decent buy too; but then things looked equally rosy after a certain win against Spurs last season and it was noticeable yesterday that BFS played his preferred block and punt for the last 15 minutes or so.


The other similarity is that, just like after that Spurs game, BFS claimed tactical genius. When they win he's a genius, when they don't it aint his fault.

Spurs have missed a trick not getting Teddy on the coaching staff at White Hart Lane and is without a doubt West Ham's gain. I loved him as a player. Probably my favourite over the past 20 years.


"Oh Teddy Teddy Teddy, Teddy Teddy Teddy Teddy Sheringham."


Legend.

And you deserve everything currently coming your way especially with your captain acting like a spoilt school girl yesterday when things weren't going his way, there's a shock. Alan just f**k off, I qouted Red Devils' words back at him and you decided to dive in, so do us all a favour and do one. Angel fooking Di Maria. Indeed.

I'd say it was a perfect weekend for Gooners.

I thought it would be a bumpy ride this season, but that was some bump yesterday...

"I'd say it was a perfect weekend for Gooners. "


yup, they happen rarely enough but my god it can make a difference to a gentleman's step


"I thought it would be a bumpy ride this season, but that was some bump yesterday..."

And with West Ham looking more aggressive and Utd needing a response, who is going to be the winner next weekend?


Pellegrini is looking less and less agreeable with each game this season isn't he?

Not for some it seems ;-)

After the dirge served up last season it's good to see a Utd team playing with attacking flair again.

Defensively we're boggin', and that will take time and probably another transfer window or two to put right.

LVG and most of the new players will also need time to adapt to the 'nuances' of the PL, I bet none of them have ever been involved in a game like that before.

He's definitely losing his urbane charm and getting more chippy, but to be fair he's under a lot of pressure, had they not won the PL I think he might even have been sacked, and this season it sounds like the owners are expecting much greater things in the CL...

Special or not, takes some doing to be 3-1 up and collapse to a 5 - 3 defeat especially when you've got Angel fooking Di Maria in your team, not to mention Falcao.

      Is anyone pregnant and due this winter?

      By Elelel123 · Posted

      Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor

      Wanted - table top ironing board

      I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?

      Now I'm having my hand slapped by some forum bot 😮 All I did was try to add a laughing emoji to ianr's post. This is obviously a message from the universe to tell me to get off my phone and get back to working my way through my very lengthy to do list 🤣 ETA: And it's just happened again when I tried to agree with a post in the lounge. OK universe, I give in. Back to the hideous task list.
