Today's football.

did the RS game change when diame went off? really thought they'd lose that. they probably would had WHU not beaten chelsea because that's how football goes. anyway, still not worried about them. they're just overachieving atm. their purple patch will end soon and they'll be back down in 13th

First Club Brugge game in ages that I don't watch and they go and win 7-1 away from home

gutted

Diame going off basically changed the game

He controlled the midfield and after he went of the RS got a foot hold of the game

i would have really liked us to have gone for him. Him and gibbo competing for that place would be very good. Can't believe he was on the bench vs chelsea either, knew when he came on he would turn that game and he did. good job he's out vs us. how RS scored 3 without suarez i'll never know. cost me a fiver that, think i should stop betting on them - gives them extra luck

Joe hart was a cardboard cut out for the first goal

Goddamn it, I spent the entire journey home thinking the RS had lost and were 7 points behind us.

Sorry I couldn't get there today mate. I'll be out of action Boxing Day too, but should be ok for some matches in January/February.

Haven't seen the table, I'm about to watch MOTD2, does that make Man U 6 points clear?

Don't worry about it mate, work happens, I'll see you when we can both make it. That's probably january for me, too.

And yeah they're six points clear. Look like Fergie's raring on the bit this year.

Driving home I had the radio on - when I left Fazakerly we were beaten, by the time I was at Queens Drive we'd won it.

My brother in law will be pleased. Man U fan see. A proper match going one though, from Manchester. The look on Mancini's face is great on my tv at the mo.

Looks like he will probably be out for our game.

he's out for 12 weeks so yes, can see us getting 6 points out of that and stoke - both tough games though

 

[djpauly]

I remember many a kopite saying we'd implode during these three tough games and the gap would be gone. We've not even played that well and we've taken 5 points. When we hit actual form we will pull away. Gibson's back = we will pick up regular points. We'd have to hit an injury crisis for them to finish above us this year.

which makes you wonder where we'd be had we beaten Wigan, Reading, QPR etc

I try not to think about those games.

My cats can't take much more of a kicking.

Stoke unbeaten at home and only let in 2 goals.

meh, due a thrashing then. still think we can run rings around them with our attacking full backs
