    Spurs were leading 3-2 with 5 minutes to go and Tim Sherwood replaces Soldado with Defoe!
    Either the most ballsy managerial tactic this season in the Premier League or he knows he
    has no chance of becoming the Spurs permanent manager

    Scousers top of the league at Christmas worries me. I'm torn to be honest. City winning it would be unbearable but imagine the scousers winning it. City have won it in recent years in the most dramatic fashion so nothing can be worse than that. Liverpool winning it would end years of hurt and put them 1 behind us. It's a no win situation obviously.

    For what it's worth i don't think there is a chance the scousers will win it.

    Agree... Arsenal for me.. but think its city's to lose.. you come 2nd, after having just won the title with that team, then add 100 million worth of talent.. no brainer that they should walk it..

    Rodges has done a good job, made Henderson a better player and they look good, I think the next week will tell us a lot about Liverpool but for me I still think they are off a championship winning side... but will push for a top 4.

    I wont rule chelsea out...

    They say no team has won the league from 8th at xmas, but we're 8 points off... top 8 within 8 points, and all to play each other still... we cant afford any slip ups but its certainly not over with 23 games to play.

    Its a rare event for the team at the top on Christmas day to win the league (about 5 or 6)
    but
    Its almost nailed on (bar a couple) that the team at the bottom get's the drop.

    So sky sports news were saying.

    I thought Liverpool played well today, maybe even deserving a point. They're easily the best side we have faced at home, much better than Arsenal and the rags were sh^t compared to them.

    Fair point, but still good to see them beat.
    Not a rags or pool fan but toffees and city I don't mind.

    Good win for Morecambe in the North Lancs derby with Fleetwood marred by trouble in the away end, stewards assaulted, one of them hospitalised, at least two smoke bombs let off and more bother after the game. All very festive

    Strange by Danbo... admittedly the norm.. If Fergie had said what Rodgers said about the Ref Danbo's computer screen would be covered in spit from the rage... yet nothing.. he's like Liverpool were a few years ago, can't talk about football without referring to United... you will always be the little guys because of that.. Rodgers needs a ban.. he's cracking up.. their defense was woeful, good going forwards but need to sort that and get a decent keeper. Also Sterling was offside (he was actually on for me...) but he heard the whistle, Hart stopped, he rounded hart and slammed it in.. knowing the whistle was gone.. Valencia was red carded for a similar yellow. Not defending him, stupid, but refs need to be consistent.. pretty simple. Mckays gone.. no other option really once the relationship had fallen down. Watch class of 92 Danbert.. Yesterday United had Welbeck up front, Fletch and Cleverly in the middle, Evans at the back.. Core of the team through our youth system. When did City last do that? When did they last look at Manchester youth let alone develop their own talent.. Plus young players of De Gea, Rafael, Jones, Rooney, Januzaj, Smalling all brought in as young lads and developed. City its buy now... perform or go... It's why they lack the history. They will never have their own 'class of 92'... thats what makes the mythical status of United.. Worth watching Danbert...
