I don't care about van Gaal. I agree with you. With those money they spent they should be title contenders. That being said, considering how dire they were two months ago there have been major improvements.

It's almost as if he got £180m in new players. You'd expect challenging for the title with that sort of investment IMO.
I honestly thought he was going to fail big the way things were going. I'm impressed he is turning it around. I'm aware of the situation you're alluding to...

Horrible line up IMO. Fiorentina have been pretty terrible so far so that's my only hope. I think the midfield three is toothless and I think Menez and El Shaa just don't get along on the pitch. Here's hoping for the best but I'm not holding my breath.

5 and 2 assists as well
I don't mean this as gloating(as I have no reason to). Just an honest question. How do you feel about Honda now Kurt seeing as you believed him to be mediocre at best?

Oh and I believe Kurt has a pretty healthy outlook toward the club, its players and so on. It's just that Muntari is obviously disliked here. That's why the words useless and such are thrown around (by me too). I'm one of the people that just doesn't wanna see him in the line up. But he is obviously not useless. Just really mistake prone and somewhat lazy and that for me outweighs the benefits he offers. Thing is though, we can't really afford much better. Like Poli hasn't really been a World beater since we signed him. I always am noticing his niggling mistakes. But he has a do or die attitude and that makes me like him. Muntari? Not so much.

For the life of me I don't understand what Arsenal's obsession with Wenger is. The club has mostly a star studded squad. It's run efficiently from the inside out and enjoys a very healthy fan-base across the world. Yet they underachieve on the big stage year in year out. In 18 years of being in charge of mostly a strong squad, Wenger has managed a measly 3 Premiere League titles. One can argue this has been mostly down to Ferguson's dominant Man U years. And I would somewhat agree. But what excuse is there for Asenal to finish mostly 4th (six times) and 3rd (three times) since 2005? Now they occupy 10th in the table. How is this OK for Arsenal and more importantly why are they so beholden to such underachieving manager?

Yeah, never liked him much either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) He's just good enough, not particularly adept at one particular task like some of the other big names in his position. Would rather see him go to Manchester United seeing as they desperately need a defensive mid. As an added plus point, that should keep them off of de Jong.

So was watching the Hull - Man City highlights (here for whoever didn't see the game) and noticed a couple things worth mentioning:
What is this own goal week? What's whith all these own goals?
Looks like City have their own Bonera in Mangala
The Hull goalkeeper looked oddly suspicious in the 3rd and 4th goal. What kind of dive is that on the 3rd goal? And why so cartoonishly out of position in the 4th one? I guess if there was any rigging going on, goalkeepers would be a prime target for the position they occupy. Just a thought that came to my head.
