You’ve come here bigging up Arsenal. And an Arsenal fan is calling a supporter of another team a clown. What about net clownage, dou?

Four 1-0ers in the 15:00 kick-offs.

Two of the three newly-promoted sides residing in the top-half.

Problem with Billic is he looks resigned to defeat, I just can't see him turning it around. Have no idea why West Ham would go for Moyes. I can understand when clubs threatened with relegation turn to the likes of Allardyce and Pulis, even Hodgson, who have all had a track record of being able to keep sides up from relegation. Moyes showed last year with Sunderland that he isn't even very good at getting sides performing better than their individual players.

Just back from Spurs-Palace, with Palace causing more probs for Tottenham than Real Madrid did and perhaps unlucky to lose. Goal came after Palace's best spell of the match.

Palace are already beginning to look like a stereotypical Roy Hodgson side: tight, disciplined and organised.

City currently a goal to the good against Arsenal. The only surprise being that it's just one goal.

This Chelsea-United fixture will be an excellent argument for the implementation of a rule whereby teams are allowed to shake hands on a draw before a ball is kicked, thus saving everyone the utter tedium of enduring it.

Everton 2-0 down at home to Watford.

Even if United somehow manage to get something from this game in the last few minutes they are an absolutely awful side full of players who cannot play football or manage a game.

Barely made a pass in this game and resorted to hoofing it to fellaini.

Chelsea a far, far superior side.

If someone turns round an 8 point gap they'll probably turn round the goal difference. More relevant when it's tight.

It's professional sport, it's always been bought.

Hard to compete with their finances.

What I will say is fair play to them for having a vision and structure for the club to progress to this stage. They wanted pep and spent years setting it up to attract him.

Unlike united who are complety rudderless and just spunk millions away on anyone who looks half decent. A bit like city when they had their first billionaire owner.

Or it was a convenient appointment for both parties at the time. Depends how naive and gullible you are I suppose. Did the club really set it up to attract one manager that is only there for 3 years? Interesting narrative.

And with City's next league games being against Leicester, Huddersfield, Southampton, and West Ham, that advantage could well go into double figures very soon.

I think it was clear they wanted him long before he signed. Hired barcas former sporting director who he had worked with before I believe. Approached him and signed him whilst he was still managing Bayern.

Naive to think it hadn't been in the works for a while.

Not to the extent of City whereby their success is built solely on foreign investment, Chelsea were at least a decent cup side.

I remember when Utd could only afford the best players..........Thankfully they just try to win the pure way these days because they are priced out of the market..

Pogba 90m....
Lukaku 75m....

God bless Man Utd.....City can learn a lot from them.
