Jonny Evans starting over the likes of Jones I suppose due to the experience factor. Vidic also misses out. Also no Adam Johnson for City in the entire squad. Expect lots of clubs to go in for him in January.

[IAceI]

Royston Ricky Drenthe gives Everton an early lead at Craven Cottage.

[IAceI]

Why Always Me?

Who does Balotelli think he is? Neville Longbottom?

[Lineker]

"WHY ALWAYS ME?"

Mario Balotelli you are fucking glorious.

[MDK]

I love this guy. I hope he stays in the Premiership forever.

[Dan]

What a fucking hero

[Blaze09]

Shit, I missed something awesome

[Cheeky Hughes]

Mario Balotelli is a double legend. Once for the goal. Twice for that glorious shirt.

[Noah]

Edit:-there it is, nevermind

[9 to 5]

Bye Evans.

[IAceI]

Bye Bye Jonny. What a silly boy.

[Summers]

God Evans is shit.

[IAceI]

The entire left side of Man Utd just stood there and watched Milner make a run.

I hate City. Ergh.

[Dan]

This is fantastic.

:lmao:

[Colly]

Here come my Dream Team lads, just in time for Jones to get a -1 for goals conceded without being on the pitch.

Had to laugh at this on Skys live ticker:

'Arsenal fan Ashley Hirschberger has emailed to say: "I have no problem with Stoke's long throws but they take around 20 seconds for each one, if that was a normal throw they would be booked for time wasting, something has to be done about it."

Isn't it funny how 'something' always has to be 'done about it' when Arsenal are failing to beat them?

[IAceI]

Bit of a piss take now

[Dan]

3-0.

Bwahahaha.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Shame really, we went behind in the first against the run of play and pretty much controlled and dominated that half, then come out and Evans does the most fucking ridiculous thing I've seen in a long time.

It's no surprise though as I expected us to lose this game. Just haven't done enough in the final third, only ourselves to blame.

[Lineker]
