Should be a good game Spokey, your boys looking good this season so far

Yes - looking good so far!

Silly sods on the punditry panels were talking tripe as usual early in the season - saying we were going to be runaway PL winners.

Utter rubbish - no one walks away with it that early on as you know. City are looking very strong and MUFC are on a roll and cannot be discounted.

Looking at the fixture lists I'd say City to go in front over the next 4-5 weeks with a 6 pointer on 31st Jan and then see where we go from there.

If you can somehow stay in top 8 I think that would be a great achievement this season. If you can keep pace with Arsenal/Spuds & the Scousers (both colours) you should be in with a chance. I'm discounting Southampton as they look like they are on the slide.

The Hammers seem to have a decent goalie in Adrian, as well as somehow turning Stuart Downing round after being on the end of many a Kopite snarl.

Might have to sign that Charlie Austin for my fantasy league team.

Meanwhile, Roberto Martinez continues to delight Everton's opponents with utterly predictable, slow, boring possession without bite football and schoolboy defending....hope it is just second season syndrome, but I'm getting worried.

Was down at upton park yesterday and adrian brought off some first class saves,hope we can keep hold of song,he has such a deft touch.

I am sure martinez will turn your boys round as i think he is a good manager and he has got a good squad of players to work with.

Went to put sakho in my dream team yesterday but i had too many west ham players so i put austin in instead,wish i had made him captain now.

If I had done that I would have thought it was my lucky weekend and gone and wasted several pounds on the lottery.

Actually I looked at him myself but needed a midfielder due to injuries, tried to sign Downing but like you had too many West Ham players (Collins, Jenkinson and Zarate) so went for Milner instead, taking Austin would have been my second transfer of the week and would have cost me points, but had I known he was going to get a hat-trick.....doh!!!

Always nice to slap that grubby team from The Britannia down esp' at their place.

They elevate shirt pulling to a fine art.

We were a bit outplayed yesterday by the blues, never mind, nothing I didn't expect and I won £80 on my bets so not too bad a day.
The Gooners are next and I quite fancy us for that one after watching them against QPR.

Famous last words!!!

Warnock gone!

I had four runners win only on a Lucky 15, three seconds and a faller

That's a shame as he has been very positive, but I suppose 2 wingers is a risky business at the bottom of the table. I've watched Palace quite a bit this season and I don't think their performances, often decent (especially early season) have been reflected in their points haul.

must've won a few quid on your lucky 15?

I didn't put that post very well, I didn't have four runners win but I'd done a win only bet on the four so got a return of zilch.

Now I'm with you, hard lines mate
you know gambling, next one could be the one

The need is for someone to convert chances into goals, which would then, obviously, convert into points.

On the contrary, is the other end where the problems appear to be.
