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.

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


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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
