Now he's a twerp instead of a twat.

Parks lives wrote:Yeah I got it all done yesterday mate but I couldn't get hold of anyone to say could I come back.

One of the problems of being banned.

Parks lives wrote:Fucking hell, sorry to hear that. I'm guessing its really painful?

Has work been fine about it?

Parks lives wrote:Haha, its always better when your boss can see your actually ill, so he doesn't think your bullshitting.

I've got today off as well as I had to stay in a hotel last night. They shut London Bridge last night because of the winds so I was stranded in Croydon for the night.

£89 a night it was as well!

Yep, it was either 4 buses and a 2 - 3 hour journey home, a cab that would cost about £50 or a night in a hotel. However I thought the room would only be £70. :roll:

Yeah I heard about the people who died. Saddest one I heard was a 2 year old boy got trapped under a wall and died.

I'll start with my prediction on this one - I can see Arsenal winning this.

If there is any side in the Premiership playing with enough confidence to go to the Emirates and win right now it is United, but for me, Arsenal win this.

They are playing some cracking stuff right now, especially at home.

They struggled to get to grips with their new surroundings to start with, but now they are passing the ball so well and as those Liverpool games showed, are a club brimming with confidence.

Arsene Wenger has got all his players playing the same way and while they might not challenge for the title this year, I think they will be a real force next time around.

And I think what we have seen in the past few games is what we can expect next season and what Manchester United can expect on Sunday.

The passing and the movement is great to watch and the younger players seem to revel in the atmosphere at the Emirates.

And then they have Thierry Henry back on song.

That little break seems to have done him the world of good and now he looks 100 per cent and as if he wants to be involved in the game.

And he will want to make a mark in this one to shut those people up who say he goes missing when the big ones come along.

They way Arsenal are playing right now, I am expecting a big things from the Frenchman.

They will need his experience as well because Gilberto Silva is a big loss to suspension, or his presence is at least.

Mathieu Flamini will fill in and won't do a bad job, and Cesc Fabregas seems to grow with every game and everything that's asked of him.

He is up against Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick, who is starting to find his feet, but I still think Fabregas can come out on top.

Having said that, if there is one area United will be looking to exploit it is that Arsenal back four.

They still don't look entirely convincing across the backline and with Ryan Giggs back from a rest and Cristiano Ronaldo flying, the wide areas could be United's best bet.

But they'll need a big game from Wayne Rooney.

I saw him against Villa and he looked well off the pace. His touch was awful, by his standards and he just didn't look like his old self.

It might be off-the-field problems or it might even be the fact that Ronaldo is getting all the headlines, but something looked to be up.

I am sure Sir Alex Ferguson will have had a word because although they are still winning, they are going to need Rooney at his best for the run-in.

Of course, his workrate didn't drop and you wouldn't bet against him having a say here, but I just think the whole Arsenal side is right on its game right now, which is why I can see them edging this.

He goes for 2-1 Arsenal.
