    ****. Forgot one thing. So busy laughing over Martinez and how he can't win games. We want them to win against Arsenal. A draw is OK but the whole time I've had them down for a loss.

    There's still time to fix it though. Young Boys is effectively a dead rubber so Martinez can rotate a bit, get a draw or a loss by 1 goal. Then he can use his 3rd win of the run on Arsenal and do us a favour :emoticon-0141-whew:

    Arsenal's form is great but their performances aren't as convincing. Everton are exactly the kind of team to get a result aganst them and provoke a Gooner #meltdown

    If Howard and Lukaku collide in training and don't start the game then they're nailed on for the win

    I can think of at least four teams this can be said for, can you think of anyone other than Arsenal?

    I did stipulate "other" than Arsenal. Chelsea, agree, Spurs are actually playing well, Stoke form is not great. My four were United, Liverpool, City and Chelsea, all getting decent results but none playing above average football <ok>

    Yup this ones back fired

    The form table I keep pointing to shows who's the teams that are thriving and who are not

    For example both city and utd... Not good but us and arsenal... Quite good

    Convincing is entirely subjective as rival fans will never admit the other team is convincing them of anything

    Don't flatter yourself.

    Stoke and Man Utd both have a form of 10 out of 18 points.

    One of them used to be league champions then spent £200m and wants CL football. The other is aiming to be comfortably top half.

    Stoke beat Leicester, QPR, Villa and dropped points to Man City, Arsenal, Newcastle
    Man Utd beat Leicester, QPR, Burnley and dropped points to Southampton, West Ham, Swansea

    actually stoke are over achieving and only want 40 points +.... just shows for utd form doesn't it.. If anything stokes for is more impressive as arsenal and city are true top 4 contenders while west ham and southampton are not....

    If i were utd fans i'd be hoping my team could dig in against the really big teams that are to come.

    we can all agree:

    1. martinez and allardyce wont win any trophies this year... and no tobes it doesn't matter what you say about europa <ok> you know any time you meet us you lose in cups.

    2. allardyce and martinez as more supported by their boards than thier fans

    3. neither set of boards are popular with sections of their fans.

    4. Both managers splashed an awful lot of money on a bit lump of a striker.

    5. one team is already safe from relegation and will finish top half.....


    so all in all.... there's a lesson to be learned for small clubs. michael laudrup ****ed it up at Swansea trying in the europa. Martinez should have focused on his bread and butter more.
