the bloke has been described by Hiddink as "sleeping giant" for his lack of mobility on the pitch! He is not worth £14 million!!

[Plastic Head]

Rob Styles is a complete ponce. The perfect ref for Arsenal.

At least we won't have him next week now.

[Cally]

14 mill.

Pavlyuchenko signs for Tottenham

That's just insane.

Did anyone notice Steve Bruces hair today in the interview for Match of the Day?

It appears he has dyed the top half of his head and not around the sides or he has stuck an ill matched wig on!!!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Err, I just saw Mike Ashley downing a pint in one go in the stands at the Emirates on MOTD.

I thought that was illegal?

Oh yeah, we are going to get murdered by Arsenal, they look tremendous. if Van Persie plays we could be looking at them beating the 6-2 from last time.

Rooney looked very poor last night whist Zenit, admittedly playing at home, were a long way better.

There was all the commentator guff about Man U never taking the Super Cup seriously but that looked like their strongest squad available with their first choice XI except the injured Ronaldo on the park.

PS I know it was played in Monaco but the south of France is as Russian as Kallingrad these days.

The Russians looked good, but aren't they in midseason?

[American Rover12]

Yeah they are.

WOnder if Bullard will be off. Is it true that Hodgson doesn't rate his game? Etuhu isn't that bad - a so so archetypal holding midfielder. It's really hard to judge a defensive midfielder because it seems to be a position in which you can get away without taking risks with your game.

I mean, if you are low on confidence, you can still charge around, fly into tackles and defend like mad. In other words, you can still do a reasonable job at DM. And if you don't trust your passing, performing 5 yard sideways passes is not going to have the fans screaming for blood because they don't expect great creativity from a DM.

However, if a striker or a winger is low on confidence, he loses his most crucial assets of decisive passing, dribbling and shooting, which makes it much more of a struggle.

Bullard won't be leaving, hopefully I am not made to eat my words. Bullard wants to be involved in everything in the game which frustrates Roy as he prefers players who hold their position etc. But if you take that away from Bullard he becomes distinctly average.

Etuhu is crap. Can't pass a ball. Failed at Preston Norwich and Sunderland.

[Billy Castell]

Maybe we can offer Woy the axe for £7m. He'd buy him for that!

He also tried to sneak off 6mins from time and returned once he learned he had been spotted by the Setanta cameras

In all fairness if we have Dunn and RSC back we will give Arsenal a very good game, they don't travel the best and also Newcastle where shocking going forward

10-0-0 is the new comfort zone.

They still need 3 more defenders to fill the bench though.

I see 11 number 2's on the pitch, and thousands of number 2's in the stands whenever Man City is on my TV.
