English Premier League 2012/2013

We went 1-0 down and Fergie decided to take off our best poacher and bring on Scholes instead of Anderson or Cleverley.

Why didn't we start our best players when we don't have to get a win in Europe?

It just makes no sense.

Cheers, Norwich. That's made a good day even better.

Why did Ferguson scrap the diamond? Worked well against Newcastle.

I can't actually tolerate being inside a football stadium any more. Why is it the more moronic a person's viewpoints are, the louder they will shout them? Anyway I was rooting for Swansea today. Glad they took the 3 points. I'm not even disappointed or angry with the players, I think they tried hard, I just have so much disdain for the fairweather fans/morons. The fans gave in well before the players did.

Who should I support WBA or Norwich? They're maybe the team I hate the least.

And just to put icing on the cake: Vincent Kompany is a panellist tonight.

On the one week he didn't fuck up \o/

I'm hoping Hansen will do his normal half-arsed 'analysis' and call us shit; I'd expect Vinny's rebuttal to be the most eloquent piece of speaking in the MOTD's history.

Kompany will be the most coherent one there, given he's alongside Hansen and Redknapp

Because for some reason he's gone from saying this:

“ If it turns out we play the diamond consistently it would be revolutionary because it is going against our history. Using the diamond does mean that a winger may be sacrificed but the game is changing.”

To abandoning it because Wingers are apparently so crucial to our game that even though they're playing shit we HAVE to play them. Young isn't good enough and Valencia is horrifically out of form.

And don't get me started on Carrick either, I don't think he's as good as some United fans think at the best of times but he's been diabolically poor this season and somehow the worse he's playing the more game time he's getting. I genuinely think he could have died half way through the first half against Villa and no one would have noticed.

I don't get how we played such good football going forward with Anderson and Cleverley as our midfield pairing start of last season and have just forgotten all about it, yes we might have been as open as Imogen Thomas' legs at the back, but we're still that open without them and we're also creating nothing going forward. Stick Carrick alongside them (hopefully he'll be better once he doesn't have to do two peoples running, or Fletcher if he's still shite) and Rooney at the tip (Or Kagawa with Rooney up alongside RVP) and use the full backs for width (which, given the form of our wingers the only time we look threatening down the wings is when Rafael or Evra over lap or under lap) and it's so much obviously a better team than the rubbish we got today that it is painful to watch this team.

The last time we actually played well was probably against you, using that formation, and probably the last time we actually played good football for more than 1 isolated game was over a year ago. It's not good enough, and you'd have to be delusional to think that it is.

How fickle.

Shut up Carroll.

Can't believe the mess Hughes has made at QPR. I like him, but he's gotta get sacked, simple as that. It's surprising though because I can't stress how good of a job he did here, he turned us into a very, very good side. Thought QPR would have really pushed on this season. If he does get sacked, which surely he will, I don't know where his next job would be.....he'd probably have to drop down a division or even look abroad.

I came to the conclusion a while ago that his success at Blackburn (and a few others: Bentley, RSC etc) was just a one-off. There's quite a few who peaked in that Blackburn team and have been living off past glories ever since.

I'd like to think nobody would be stupid enough to hire Clueless after this, but Alex McLeish keeps getting jobs, so Hughes probably will too.

Maybe. But that could be turned round and you could say only Hughes has been able to get the best out of them . But I know what you mean.

Bar a decent season at Fulham, he's done nothing since. Can't see that Tony Fernandes sticking with him - they're not even in danger of getting cut adrift from 17th place anymore, it's 19th place now that they're miles behind!

Yeah - mad to think he was managing City before QPR. They need rid of him. Losing at home to Southampton, after this run of form and the money he's spent, should see him gone.

So wonder if Caesar and Granero realise what they've signed up for?

Sadly I have to agree. I think he be an assistant for a few years personally and get to grips with aspects of the game.

Sturridge really did miss a lot of chances today.

Man City's first penalty... what was it awarded for?

Handball, I think. Extremely harsh though.

I can't believe Hughes is still in a job.

Torres didn't do shit in 65 minutes. I'd rather have player who misses than a player who is invisible. It's like playing with 10 man.

I saw it back this morning - Weimann's arm was ridiculously outsretched but it seemed to hit Nastasic before it met Vlaar and Toure. So basically one fictional penalty and one harsh one... suppose you need that kinda luck if you're gonna try beat Real Madrid.

Shocking decision by the referee to send Hangeland off.

Far from perfect performance but we'll take anything we can get at the minute.

Great weekend for Liverpool. Good win and then lots of teams dropping points.

ONWARDS.

Norwich won to keep pace with you though.

Positive goal difference now too \o/

It can only get better from here, Abbott (unless John Henry gets involved).

Name the only club in the PL who have in their squad four players who have 100 or more international caps? Name the 4 players as well if you can!

No
