Flappy popper time

Ah, the 83rd minute Mikel Gambit. A classic.

Full-time. THANK CHRIST

Jose is such a miserable bastard.

[stokeriño]

Jose looks as shattered as I feel. Sounds like he just wants to get the interview over with and go home for a nice rest!

[MDK]

Have we used up our goal quota for the weekend or what?

[Gorka]

You shouldn't concede a goal from that angle.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Well in Kolarov. 1-0.

[Kyle]

Nope, 1-0 City. 

[MDK]

Heh

You shouldn't concede a goal from that angle.

You can't tell me what to do

[FLiam]

Why does Raheem Sterling continue to start? Twitter told me he was wasting his career and would rot on the bench. I'm confused!

[Dan]

I have Man City to win 1-0 and Watford to draw 0-0 in the prediction league. 10 minutes to go!

[Cheeky Hughes]

NASRIIIIIIII

 

Sorry Dan.

[MDK]

I have Man City to win 1-0 and Watford to draw 0-0 in the prediction league. 10 minutes to go!

Unlucky

[Dan]

Fucking Michael McIntyre. 

[Kyle]

On the downside, Everton lost.  

On the brightside, a Kompany clean sheet and Yaya assist brings me to a solid 46 points for this week with Clyne still to play.  I've moved up from 21st to 5th so far with today's points yet to be taken into account.

Jonathan Pearce went full-Pearce tonight. Shocking. MOTD itself has an obsession with Mourinho and the letter P, for some reason.

[stokeriño]

It's being reported in The Mirror that the FA have agreed in principle to Chelsea making Wembley their temporary home during Stamford Bridge's redevelopment, subject of course to the Bridge getting planning permission granted etc.

Firmino starts for Liverpool tonight. 

[FLiam]

Mertesacker and Koscielny out.

Gabriel and Chambers in.

Yikes.

[Lineker]

Arsenal make two changes from the team which beat Crystal Palace as defenders Gabriel and Calum Chambers come in for centre-backs Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny. Mertesacker is ill and Koscielny has a back injury. Liverpool give playmaker Roberto Firmino his first start as part of three changes. Midfielders Emre Can and Lucas Leiva also start as Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana, who are injured, miss out along with the benched Jordan Ibe. 

Arsenal XI: Cech, Bellerín, Gabriel, Chambers, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez, Giroud.
Liverppol XI: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Lovren, Gomez, Milner, Can, Lucas, Firmino, Coutinho, Benteke.
