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...
