Looks like you'll be doing it without Jones for the next four weeks at least after Smalling broke his toe in training.

Double edged. He's a donkey, but we are short of players, not necessarily CBs though.

[ORD]

Why is Jones soooooo bad? He seems to get less and less well coordinated. It's like he's found someway to become less rather than more skilled through practice. He should sell himself to science.

Schwein is gone, then - glad to see him find somewhere that might be his level. He is an extremely old 32 (more like 38), just like Rooney is an extremely old 31 (more like 38). Both crushingly past it.

not sure finishing 4th is a memorable event.

It is for Arsene Wenger

Cheers Rio.

What an insight. Inspirational and very brave.

Took me a few days to pluck up the courage to watch it. I've seen it now and you can't help but feel so sorry for the blokes who found themselves widows with such young children.

God only knows how I would cope with our 3, without the missus...

Interesting article in the Sun today written by Neil Ashton about Mourinho's relationship with Shaw. Seems Shaw's goose was cooked 3 years ago when Mourinho tried to sign him for Chelsea. I expect him to be gone in the summer.

3 points tomorrow. Nothing less. GGMU.

We're struggling with injuries. Mata's just had a groin op.

That's not good. I still think he's the best player in our squad.

I watched the clip on Gogglebox last night & although we have it on the planner i'm not sure i could watch it all .

The wife had tears over the 3 or 4 minutes they showed last night.


Massive respect to him though. Wasn't she stunning too.

[Alpinestars]

Lots of pace up front today. Don't like Fella and Carrick together though.

[DeltonaS]

And Rooney on the bench again.

[GTO-3R]

How can they call themselves a premiership team when all they're willing to do is sit behind the ball and defend? They're not even trying to win and purely waiting on set pieces. It's pathetic.

Not watching the match - to which team are you referring?

It is and they've been buying time almost since the start of the game.

How they've managed to become 8th in the standings is beyond me.

Dreadful game by the way.

Awful game, but nigh on impossible to do anything when all the opposition are doing is defending and hoofing the ball away.

We need some target practice though as we're not getting anything on target at all.

[E63M6]

1 minute stoppage time, what a joke!! West Brom have wasted so much time. Only gonna get worst in the 2nd half with Mike Dean the tt not doing anything about it.

[Alpinestars]

This is so anti football.

[Gavia]

Think this says it all



The figure bottom right for West Brom is 8mins 51 secs. That's the sum total of the time they've had the ball. No attempt to play football at all.

[Gavia]

We're not helping ourselves here with virtually no movement off the ball. Everybody is standing and watching

[DeltonaS]

Terrible, terrible game.

Mata (and obviously Zlatan) are surely missed in games like these.
