    I know we took 4 points off Liverpool and United and the win against Swansea was not to be sniffed at, but I can only think wistfully of points dropped against Sunderland and West Ham <wah>. Norwich (I will concede through gritted teeth) probably deserved it. Would have given us some wriggle room for the tough games.

    Don't worry the teams above us are going to struggle soon. A heavy fixture list and European games! Only a matter of time before they start dropping points and we stride up to the table to our rightful place at the top ;)

    Josh Freeman should not pose much difficulty for the Palace back four, but on the other hand I could see Jason Puncheon finding lots of free space against a depleted Vikings defense. If Scott Parker is healthy, he could be a big boost for Fulham. But in the end, no one is going to stop Adrian Peterson. Vikings 28, Fulham 1.

    Gary Neville: "These (Southampton) are the best defensively-coached team in the league by an absolute mile."

    Jamie Carragher: "The only team in recent years I can think of, playing like this, was the great AC Milan sides of the 80s."

    Jamie Carragher: "That pushing up, dropping off as a unit. We did that on the training pitch with Rafa Benitez. Maybe we weren't brave enough to use it. But you can't just 'do' that. That's being drilled into them on the training pitch by the manager."

    To qualify that, his full quote was that with that level of defending and organisation and 'the type of players from the likes of City or Chelsea' is how you get a Bayern or a Barca.

    I can see this being a really cagey 0-0 or 1-1.
