I see Terry gets a final run-out before he accepts his ban. Wonder if they'll be highlighting the handshakes?

tough to predict the first one. I'll go for a score draw

Hopefully Spuds get a bit of luck today. I saw in the preview the bad luck they have had at OT over the years. They've never won in the Prem era. Today is the day. If only to show Martinez that he's making stuff up. ;-)

I remember last season where Spurs were all over them only to lose 3-0 (I think)!

I'll be keeping an eye on this game for how the ref deals with the Rags, they surely can't get any favourable decisions today.

Only if they need them.

Well, I think they've needed them every game this season so can't see any reason to change.

Bugger, just taken Torres out of my FF team!

"bad luck" is one way of describing it, I suppose.

[Beefymcfc]

Good game this, Gervinho just equalised. Can't stand the play acting though, namby-pampy little shits at Chelsea.

Hope it finishes a draw.

Spurs will be far the better team and the scum will get a dodgy penalty and win 1-0

Translated for Sky: Spurs were busy without creating too many clean-cut chances whereas United, the current joint Champions, took the penalty with aplomp after a slight coming together of players.

So much for the Arse's great defence.

[Moonchesteri]

So much for the Arse's great defence.

only two wins out of 6. Wenger out!
we will see these posts here if we fail to win today

[Ted Hughes]

So much for the Arse's great defence.

Both of those teams are defending just as badly as us.

They are the two form teams of the Prem at present. They are not even on the same planet as we were this time last season, in any area of the pitch. City, on top form, are twice as good as either.

Woke up at 430am to watch Arse-Chelsea. Fell back asleep 1 min in. Sounds like i missed nothing.

Suarez's 2nd vs. Norwich was very impressive

Anyone see Ba's handball goal?

As bad as crouch's?

Supposedly worse. I didnt see it. Crouch at least scored with his foot, Ba handled the ball over the line. But his first goal was outstanding, goal of the season thus far and maybe at the end too

[dazby]

It was the hand of Geord.
