Anyone remember Bacuna's free kick vs City?

He did it again today, other side of the goal:

Looks like a really good signing as he has been excellent at right back and right wing.

Shame for Lowton - who I rate - but this guy is class.

I don't think I'll ever allow a Chelsea fan to call Man Utd scabby ever again... 2-1 to west brom. (Jose Mourinho has never lost at Stamford Bridge which just makes it worse). There was 4 mins stoppage time. In the 96th minute Hazard scored a penalty. Ok so reasons this is scabby: was a dive so shouldn't of been a penalty, The game should have already ended, chelsea always score last minute. I was pissed off.

Big game today then. Will be hooked to my stream like

2-1 United w/ van Persie to score and celebrate.

Oh, yes! I almost forgot about Van Persie playing against his former club. He will score, and I hope he doesn't celebrate, because everybody hates him enough. As long as he scores though, I'll be happy.
I predict 3-2 to United. Rooney score 2, Van Persie 1, Giroud 1, Özil 1

Manchester United 1 Arsenal 0. Love it. Alright my prediction was wrong but whatever. And van persie did celebrate, but it's at Old Trafford so does it really matter?

Just Saying, Man City are now 8th, and I bet nobody mentions anything about not getting top 4, or how their season is over like they did for Man Utd.

Good game surprised there wasn't a sending off tbh & tbf.

I'm in a glass case of emotion this season up here on Wearside. I go from completely disillusioned and pessimistic to encouraged to happy as Larry about three times a week.

Poyet seems to be bringing in a philosophy for actual football and dare I even say tactics, which is rare up here. PDC was all about fitness and arguably not much else, but it at least means Poyet has come in and found a fit squad. It is obviously very, very early days but he's had a good start. Di Canio had a good start too though and so I'm very aware of this going forward.

Someone said that "West Ham have supporters that are by far the most passionate ones not just in the whole UK but in Europe as well, so they absolutely deserve better luck: West Ham must lift a cup." Do you agree with these words? Are these fans seriously the best ones?
