With Kompany still out, I reckon Arsenal will have this. Aguero could prove to be a problem though.

Aguero will hobble off by half time, silly.

[Kyle]

Fingers crossed for @Kaney's sake.

Delph has injured himself already. Maybe it's the Emirates pitch!

You can't expect snakes to be able to play football without being stepped on. >_>

Or Karma.

Lol, KDB. 

Oh, Theo. Game needed that one. 

[Sam]

Arsenal are my favourites to win the league this year. The value that Cech has added to them is huge.

[Baddar]

City channeling their inner United there.

I've got a good feeling about my prediction.  

[Kaney]

Fantastic first half

[Baddar]

Oof, Toure. This got interesting.

[Szumi]

That Toure goal really was exquisite. City could easily nick a point here, which would be typical Arsenal because The Gooners really should've put this game to bed.

[Kaney]

Ramsey should have scored on the break immediately after Toure did, but we saw the game out so I'm happy. Good to put a bit of space between us and the rest, just need to wait for the inevitable Leicester decline

[stokeriño]

I see no recent record of Leicester title challenges imploding mid-season.

Arsenal, on the other hand...  

[Sam]

Usually around the time Messi tears them a new one.

[Kaney]

There's a first time for everything >_>

Monday night MOTD! Lovely.

Lee Congerton, Sunderland’s sporting director, has been placed on gardening leave and will have no involvement in the club’s January transfer window activity.

Considering that Congerton, a former Chelsea chief scout and Hamburg technical director, tendered his resignation earlier this season when Dick Advocaat stepped down as manager this move comes as no surprise.

At the time Ellis Short, Sunderland’s owner, told Congerton he needed to work out his 12-month notice period and tasked him with hiring Sam Allardyce as Advocaat’s replacement. Although Allardyce has an amicable relationship with Congerton, he is the club’s manager rather than head coach and made it clear from the outset he intends to assume control of transfer dealings. Accordingly Congerton’s position is effectively redundant.

[Lineker]

Rémi Garde believes Aston Villa must win almost half of their remaining matches to survive after outlining a 10-game winning target.

[HailtotheYo]

This has been a lovely first half of the season
