I agree with Contrary Tree on this one. I've entered. Im coming back that weekend for my Birthday as well.

Arsenal used to be one of the more reasonably priced London clubs. Certainly at Highbury anyway.

Great chance for Saylor and Sol to step up and cement a place. Im not overly worried about this as long as they are both fully fit.

Where did you get that deal? Oh and if you get a pint in Vegas it'll be about £5 in Vegas. Not that you should count expenditure in Vegas...

Its just the typical myopic knee-jerk reactions of the modern day football fan. If we lose we are the worst team in the world, if we win we are the best. 10th is fantastic progress. We just have to keep it up.

i think he is covered by the top scorer part. Tevez is the top scorer in the league.

Add "We have Andy Carroll" to that list. Cue a long term injury now I've said that.

Too late!! I hadn't even thought about him at CB.

If Mancini refrains from playing 3 DMs then they might well win the league this year.

Apparently he has offered his resignation - which was rejected. Thats from twitter. Edit: Henry Winter said the rumour has been denied. Still, all is not well at Chelski at the moment.

Watched first one earlier. Looks really good. I keep expecting Andrew Lincoln to break into English though.

Gavin Harris wishes he had Andy Carroll's playboy skills.

Williams and Collo need a rest. Im not sure thats entirely true. Its only 1 bad game. Colo will get an enforced rest anyway.

Yes

Difficult one. If he has earned enough money (which he clearly has) then wanting to play football might be top of his agenda. Not sure what i'd do under the circumstances. It depends on his goals tbh and whether he has half given up on football.

Regular first team football ?

Boa Morte must be up there as the shittest player in the PL.

Things could be worse We could be West Ham. They look terrible.

Just looked liked they ran into each other from my view although I didnt see the replay.

Terry will be out for a while, Alex is due an op on thursday, Essien will be serving the last game of suspension v us (I think). Lampard is due back imminently. Drogba will probably be over his sickness by then as well

While thats true, what the table doesnt show is that we have had many of the so called "easy" games and home and yet have to play many of the harder games. We've also played Man U, Man City, Arsenal away though. Other than the top 4-5 we can expect to take points from anyone. We MUST strengthen in January though. A pacey striker to play next to/just behind Carroll is a must. Completely agree with you ending statement. that is a must. But, our next 3 home games? Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City. Makes it absolutely vital to get maximum points from West Brom and Birmingham away in between those. Judging by this season we are more likely to pick up points v the big teams that the West Brom & Brum !!

Williamson has been iffy at times tbf. He's weak as water for the size of him. The other two have been excellent on the whole but I wouldn't mind seeing Campbell at CB. He'll get his chance v Chelsea. Chelsea have lost 3 out of 4 apparently. Surely that cant go on.

No-one is going to buy him on the wages he is on now. The only way he'll go is if (a) someone wants him ( he'll take the pay cut to play regular football. He has another 18 months on his contract as well.
