chelski look very good.

This will be the toughest PL ever to win I think. Almost every club in the division is capable of beating one another. 83 or 84 points will win it.

I was thinking that myself. Does this team have the 'mental strength' to really go all out, or will we bottle it?

For a change I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.
Shame that fecker Kane is fit. Very early kick off as well. Hope we are up and ready for it.

No Cazorla then. No other real omissions.

Just got back from an hour of training in the park, the things you do to take your mind of things and make time pass!

Alli's out for them, I think that's a bigger blow for them than Cazorla out for us. Xhaka and Coq will need to keep their heads cool, any booking for either and I'd get Elneny on. Walcott back, I hope that he can deliver and that Sanchez has a better game than in the CL. Good thing is that he'll work very hard. Hopinh Ozil can continue his form too.

No real worries re the back 4, they've been excellent!

There seem to be lots of times we're going offside. Spuds have the ball more than us.

You knew those game raising **** would get something. Ox should just go on loan.

Next up, United at Old Trafford. No chance of winning there, so crisis is well underway ¬___¬

We haven't won this fixture for quite a while now, so no great surprise at the result. I take no notice of the punters etc saying we will win this due to current form. Them losing midweek prob did us no favours. We still lack that top quality cutting edge for these kind of games.

chance to go top = limp, underachieving performance. It took the team 20 mins to work out Spurs' 'surprise' back 3 system. It was broadcast/on the team sheet an hour before. Ho hum.

at least we played Chelsea when we did! They, Liverpool, City, Spurs and us for top 4 places. We never win the games when we could go clear at the top.

1-1 draw so we're 4th now. Oh well. Could have been worse... but we should win these sorts of games.

Yeah, tend to agree. We weren't too bad today but I never got the feeling we were going to run out winners. There's still a certain something lacking. We always are likely to concede a goal and still aren't clinical enough at the other end. We are a better balanced team this season but there's still another step to take.

I just think we need to mix it up a bit sometimes. Didn't actually see the match but listened to it on the radio and the number of times we got it wide and but there was nobody in the box to ping it to. Play the percentages in other words. Not sure we need to play two def midfielders either. I know it's not usually the case as Caz is out but it does negate our creativity and those runs into the box by a Ramsay for example. Iwobi has gone off the boil too so that may need looking at for the Old Trafford match. No Ibra for them when they play us, so that's a bonus. Actually none of the English teams that played in the CL last week won this weekend. No great disaster today but we need to get a grip on the matches that follow a CL fixture.

Yeah, it wasn't brilliant to watch. I was so nervous at times. We got a point so we'll take that over a defeat, but I really wanted 3 points.

A point's better than nothing, but it's worrying that we didn't step up and take full advantage of City dropping points especially considering Pool and Chelsea did.

We're still thereabouts, but we can't afford to drop points in our next game against ManU, which will be a tall order even without Ibrahimovic.

Why the heck were there Remembrance commemorations at this game yesterday when Remembrance Sunday is actually a week away? The commentator even said that yesterday *was* Remembrance Sunday!
