-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Premier League action is split between Saturday and Sunday thanks to the bloody Europa League Hilariously enough, City are away and (MANCHESTER) United are at home. Mr Ferguson is the only manager who gets away with that sort of thing - what? I'm only talking about the facts.

Of course this is a super sunday super duper game of literally super football which both will and wont decide the title because the title is never won in November but Arsenal have sure as hell lost it. Wazza Rooney will most likely start this game unless Ferguson feels he's too much of a scaredy cat again. It's a shame for football that Carlos Tevez wont be playing because he is still yet to celebrate in Ferguson's face like he promised he would. But then he also promised Mancini he'd play football for him FERGIE FERGIE SIGN HIM UP.

Other title contenders Liverpool and Newcastle have relatively easy fixtures which means one or both will lose. The comparisons between Newcastle and the 'invincibles' a.k.a Arsenal are already beginning to crop up in the media but Newcastle need one or two more French players to even think about being that sexy.

Tottenham Hot Spurs go to Blackburn where one more loss for the home side will spell the end to luxury trips to India for the bald headed fella that manages Blackburn. Spurs are unspectacular though and Arsenal have fallen off so that leavs 4th place up for grabs between Stoke, Villa and West Ham.

Football

I is at the game on Sunday. Why are all the games at the same time?

Muralitharan is up against Lawrenson on the BBC's predictions

Another easy game for Newcastle, proven nothing, average team, etc etc etc.

Don't be so hard on yourself

Last week I'm sure you stated Spurs were nothing special.

So you drew at home to a team who are nothing special.

Reckon you've still got to prove yourself then

Derby weekend and i cant wait. I love and hate going away to their gaff, i love it cos its the derby and i love the excitment of it, going there and singing our hearts out, praying we get a result. The atmosphere in our end is always awsome and the occasion is brilliant. I hate it cos i hate everything about those c**ts, i hate being surrounded by their shithead fans and obviously we dont have the best record there and the thought of losing makes me feel sick. The thought of the abuse i will get within seconds of the final whistle as the rats...sorry mates.. try and text me as fast as they can. The derby just means so much and now that its a top of the table clash it has even more meaning.

A win would put us 5 clear and although it wouldnt win us the title (far from it) it would give us some breathing space and might be a bit of a psycological blow to the scum. To be honest id be over the moon with a draw, they are very very good at home and to come away still top of the league having got that game out the way would be excellent. Defeat wouldnt be the end of the world in terms of our title challenge but it would sting cos its them and i cant stand seeing their annoying grinning arrogant faces. Whatever Fergie says about having played all the big clubs he knows we are a force and a threat to their title and he will really really want to win this and i hope his comment comes back to haunt him.

I respect that they are a good side but i dont fear the scum, we have a strong team and i wouldnt swap our squad for theirs. Sunday wont decide the title but it would be an incredible statement to the watching world if we went there and won.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomme Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn CIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITYYYYYYYY!!!

CTID !!

Good luck for you on Sunday Goat

I was right, being the 4th best team in the country is not special, but we more than matched the 4th best team in the country, so kiss my chap.

We shouldn't take this game for granted, we slipped up to this standard of team last season, but if we win we will be on course for 80 points.

cheers mate, good work hopefully it will be but with us stuffing them

Come on City !!!

Superb goal by Swansea...like a Xavi-Cesc combination from earlier this season.

Both superb goals. Bit of a harsh scoreline but great counter attacking.

Given
Hutton-Collins-Dunne-Warnock
Bannan-Herd-Petrov-Zog
Bent-Gabby

Good to see Herd get a go and Bannan back in the team. Ireland a bit unlucky to be benched, but we do lack width if we don't play either Zog or Albrighton. One of them needs to find something resembling form.

2-2 what a comeback !

A big fuck you to all the Wolves fans that left early as well !

Stupid from Swansea, tried to "shut down" the game.

Hutton is so unbelievably shit he makes Warnock on the other side look world class. I hate Spurs

Bent missed a sitter, Bannan came close from distance & looks like creating something every time he gets the ball near the box

Long's just been subbed, 'cause Hutton broke him.

Gabby wins a pen thanks to a mixture of inept defending and some quick thinking. Reid chested it back but Gabby snuck in as Foster dived in to claim it - got a touch to get it away from keeper & momentum meant he got taken out.

Bent scores the pen

Now Dowd's gone mental.

Herd appears to have conceded a penalty and been sent off for not winning a header

Le Tiss doesn't have a clue what it's for

Brunt blazes it wide. Awful. Fully deserved miss.

Still the red card has fucked up the match. Dowd will be crucified for that decision.

Hutton's been injured & has to be subbed. Blessing in disguise methinks. On a yellow and a liability. Cuellar returns.

They just shown another replay. It is truly baffling. The linesman (Darren Fucking Can) made the call, but it is impossible to see his justification. So harsh on Herd. Only his 2nd ever start. Straight red, it wasn't even a dodgy 2nd yellow. At least that means it'll be possible to appeal.

1-1

Olsson scores. Olsson being the man Herd was sent off for marking in their last set piece. Looking forward to the abuse the officials get when they walk off at half time

Newcastle struggling against stern opposition for once but can anyone beat these French fuckers

1-2 West Brom

Scum score again. Scharner of course. Think he always scores against us

Liverpool team to play Norwich:

----------------Reina----------------------

--Johnson------Carra------Skrtel--------Enrique----------

-----Kuyt---------Adam---------Gerrard--------Downing----

----------------Bellamy--------Suarez--------------------

No Kelly on even on the bench - I can only assume he's picked up a knock.

No holding midfielder but I imagine Adam will play deeper; bit bold from Kenny but I like our attacking intent and looking forward to Suarez and Bellamy linking up - that can only be a nightmare for defences.
