    Was on good form too before his most recent injury. Crazy how few games he has played considering how long he has been knocking round. Could end up tthe next Hargreaves if his injury issues aren't sorted.

    Yep it's a shocker really. He's kind of moving towards the last chance saloon, because if he doesn't overcome his injures soon, then he's going to miss his window to develop into a top player. He's got the talent, but it's crucial that he stays injury free.

    Always thought his running style was a bit awkward. Don't know if it can explain all the injuries though.

    I know what you mean. I'm not sure it accounts for all of his injuries, but the way he tends to push the ball a bit further ahead of himself definitely encourages opposition players to dive in and tackle him.

  5. Wiltshire will never be the player that he could have been.

    Still think Spurs have more chance of winning the league than Arsenal

    'Smug mode' for Arse fans now, will become 'insufferable mode' if we don't get a result today. <ok>

    To be fair, some (HIAG) spurs fans were giving the billy big bollocks after last weekend, so if you end the day below us again, then some of that posturing is going to look very silly.

    Great result for your lot today TBF, but I'd settle for at least a point today.

    It would be a decent point at the Etihad to be honest, especially as City are so close to you. These games today have been real '6 pointers'

    LOL remember that prediction you made after our result to Southampton, about the possibility of us dropping out of the top 4 and being overtaken by you after we play you at Old Trafford?

    LOL how'd that turn out smart ass? The irony, oh boy oh boy, now that your club is the one who will most likely not even make the top 4. You Yawnunited fans have always been getting ahead of yourselves for the past 3 years, when will you just finally admit you guys are average at best, and stop dreaming of these big great fantasies of your team making a huge comeback and going on a great run, it ain't happening.
