Sunderland vs Man City | 3pm.

I hate away games, can't wait for a run of home games, preferably easy.

Meh, i'm viewing it as what it is - we've gained a point over Man United, Man City and one further away from Chelsea so its a successful weekend. Plus i'd say Swansea away is the toughest of the games played by one of the top teams this weekend.

Depends how top you mean. Newcastle was harder for Liverpool, Villa is a hard game for Chelsea even though they've been poor this season, they're still a top club, and Sunderland away is harder then Swansea away anyway, especially with MON coming in. So you really didn't have the hardest game imo

Chelsea at home to villa is a banker, theres no two ways about it - same with Blackburn at home and QPR at home. I'd expect all the the top teams to get 3 points in those games so realistically only Spurs and Citeh had tough games this weekend.

Completely disagree. You had Swansea. At the end of the day, they're not a tough game and you were expected to win, just as were all the top teams. I agree with the bold though, but Villa is never a banker... so no there's not no two ways about it even though that's confusing.

City
Liverpool
Chelsea
Spurs
United
Arsenal

Is how i'd rank it.

Only United have beat Swansea at home this season and I'm fairly certain they've got a good conceded record at home too. So I'd class them as a tough away game. Not the hardest of the weekend mind.

Yea maybe, but still you were expected to beat them. I'd still rank it the way I put it before personally.

Swansea have only conceded a few goals at home this season! We beat villa at home this season 2-0 and it was one of the easiest games i've seen.

What are you ranking there, sorry i've missed what you meant?

Edit: Aaah just re-read it. Well we'll have to wait and see what Swansea away brings for Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal - i will not be surprised at all if 2 of the 3 teams drop points.

Our starting 11 and subs were fucked in our defence, everyone else was near enough full strength.

On the subject of Swansea heard on the radio today that they're the 6th highest team possession wise in Europe

Pretty good that for a team that's just come up.

Yeah we were expected to win. But it is a tougher game then you're making out

Hardest to easiest fixtures. And yea, but Villa played well the last few games, and as crap as they were against you, they're still a good side.

I know it's tough

I just think Newcastle, Villa and Sunderland with MON and at home are harder.

Martin Tyler's voice when Ji was about to score, like the Macheda moment all over again.

That's fantastic commentary, showed passion I had just come home when Sunderland scored and I heard that it was City who scored and not Sunderland..I was too disappointed to look at the scoreline but my mate looked at it and said it was Sunderland who scored and not City

Fuck that video.

What a fantastic goal, even if it was offside.

Ji in more ways then one, Ji Wizz.

Love the commentary!

Don't understand the squeak at the end of the JIIIIIIIIIIIII! though

Watched it when it happened and 3 times then, fantastic
