He looks chunkier, fitter and faster. There's no denying that.

You can see with all the negative goal differences outside the top group there ain't that much to worry about from most of this league.

You're gonna get told off.

Savages innit.

No.

Think he should have started today. There is going to be problems soon if he doesn't get games. He's not the type to be happy on the bench for a prolonged period. Looked class the few touches he had.

Even if we get smashed off them, we can't end up lower than, what, 7th or 8th or so even in the worst case scenario? Fine work. Think we might nick something off Chelsea. The mental space the team are now in is awesome.

He just wants to play I think. I'd take it as a positive sign rather than any sort of discord between the two. It looked like he asked Pards when he could come on....

Marvelous result. Guthrie has done really well last couple of games.

Shluld have done that 10 min ago...

Arfa in 5...

I'd get Ben on for ball retention which has been a problem.

Agreed.

Test of 'the squad' good and proper now. This will be tricky, neither are commanding CM's.

Ba has looked a bit lethargic to me.

Tbf we'd switched off there for the last 5min.

Wilson lets Rodwell have a free header.

Was being ironic.

Let's make it a thread where we have a fantasy Cabaye and we choose things for him to wear.

Bet he wears some scrumtious French cologne like Givechy or summink. OOoooOOohh lovely.

Good that you recalibrate your crackpot theories as evidence mounts against you That's still true if you think about it. If it were made clear to Joe that we had little or no effect on it he wouldn't be pansying around the local Tesco looking for £10 light bulbs.

He looks dreamy.
