Chris Foy is a disgrace though i didn't want Spurs to win, they were denied several penalties.

And now we need some bully with balls to stop these etihad boys.....

Well, we bounced back as expected, though I didn't expect that many goals, Wolves clearly capitulated. I hope Rooney continues to score as he did, I was rather surprised I never noticed Ashley Young's absence (even though he came in late), such was the pressure from Valencia and Nani. If we win all our "easy-on-paper" Dec fixtures, we'll be right up there.

So Fletcher's disease has finally been diagnosed - ulcerative colitis. No offense but they way they have described it makes me think it is an opportunistic ukingo infection, so much mystery surrounding "the virus" as they constantly described it. Suffice to say that Fletcher has never been the same since he got the disease and we have lost a good defensive midfielder to "the virus" - hopefully it will jolt the gaffer back to his senses in time to buy an attacking midfielder in Jan (Carrick & Jones can do the rest) as we wait for Cleverley's & Anderson's recovery. I'm not so worried about defense for now - all I know is that we'll be conceding more than we would if Vidic was still around and that Evans will make a blunder in at least 2 games. Hopefully by Jan Cleverley's return will ensure that Jones is available as cover in the back when Johhny Evans' inevitable blunder happens - I just don't have as much faith in some of these guys as Fergie does.

Enough about then. I dare say the Chelsea City game was a game of 2 halves - the first to City. They could have easily gone 3 - 1 up had they been given the Silva penalty (didn't look any different from the one Spurs were awarded) and had Aguerro put the great chance he had in. But who's complaining?2 points adrift is great considering City welcome Arsenal next.

I actually reckon City won't look invincible the moment some injuries hit them (note that Micah and Kolarov were sidelined for the Bridge game with injuries). But I don't see Arsenal collecting all 3 points at Etihad, City will surely bounce back and my hope is Arsenal get at least a point - if they win, great, though we'll never hear the end of it.

I felt for Spurs but they were coming to close to sniffing the airport so let them de hard done by decisions - every big team has been this season!

As for the game at the Emirates, all I can say is that was a great volley by RvP. The trip to Etihad will be the first big test since they demolished Chelsea at the bridge.

Liverpool are struggling with goals, just like we did before dismantling Wolves, but their performances spell another season out in the cold i.e. No CL. The drama continues...

Pensioners did it in style and am waiting for arsenal to follow suite as we await FA's decision on yayas conduct.

spurs will hang on there for ........

That may not happen, Wenger will prefer Djourou because of experience. So the most likely back four will be Djourou-Kochielny-Metesacker-TV5 and Miquel on the bench. However Miguel is slowly being drafted into the 1st X1. In other news, Gibbs could be back on boxing day.

I am not seeing the rich boys lose at home......

I truly wish arsenal wins although I know city is more likely to whip them.

@ Smano.....Kama kawaida Man City will struggle to get anything from Arsenal because of our style of play. Our players don't stick to their positions they move around with the ball, thats what worked for us against Chelsea. Its never a good idea (as Man Utd found out) to seat back and let City attack your defense, you have to keep their players occupied. Clichy and Kolarov are both out which means they'll not have an experienced leftback to deal with Walcott.

Micah Richards is a rightback i think Gervinho will keep him occupied throughout the match, besides TV5 is a natural leftback so i don't think we'll have a problem there. Ever since he came back from injury we've conceded very few goals. Man City mainly depend on Silva and Toure. If Song, Arteta and Ramsey control these two players then it will be an easy win for Arsenal. My main worry is at rightback, i just hope Djourou has a good game because at times he can be a disaster.

In an open game Arsenal will win otherwise i'll go for a goalless draw....there's no way Man City will beat Arsenal 6-1 if thats what you're waiting for.

I'm not waiting for 6-1, neither I'm I waiting for a goaless draw...
