from 1st to 8th

Me too from 240th to 250th

Glad we've got all these Germans at the club now.

People will be asking how they're getting on... and I'll of course be only too glad to find out for them

Hull were disappointing last night. Even with last 10 mins they refused to go out and attack. I think it may have been because Bruce saw reality and 2-0 is a respectable defeat to top of the league side after a 3-1 win vs Liverpool I guess

Yeah, Bruce post-match comments definitely gave the impression he was happy to keep the score respectable last night.

Understandable.

Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata, 21, says he will not leave the club in January after reports emerged of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wanting to sign the young defender.

- Marca

It is Marca though...

Manutd are well out of the title race now. It's a three horse race. What looked like a potential 6 horse race, 14 games in has settled the usual score of 3 teams going at it.

I still regard city as favourites with us 2nd favs just ahead of Chelsea. We get a solid striker in Jan and I believe we have what it takes.

Yeah, my Spanish is non-existent so don't know whether that's done to the BBC or Marca, TBOK.

Just seen Rooney is out of Man U's next game against Newcastle. If Van Persie doesn't make it, could mean they'll have either Welbeck or Hernandez up front.

More dropped points..?

*down to...

Rooney has kept them away from relegation zone. He's showing his true potential this season. He deserves to be playing for someone good, like Arsenal.

Anyone read that Barca are scouting Ramsey? They can feck off. Not swapping him for any player (except Messi)

Never thought Morata link was true. He is thought of as their next Raul. No way they allow him to leave. And why would we train a good player for someone else to enjoy? Wenger has said before that he will not take players on loan unless there is an option to buy. So it always looked like a non-starter.

Rooney, despite having an off game, was still United's best attacking player last night.

If RvP doesn't make it then they will struggle even more.

The fixture list is a pooper.

Away to Napoli on a wednesday, then have city away on saturday morning. I'm worried about that one. Especially if city rest players. we could see a performance like the one at OT

I'd rest Ozil for the Napoli game.

Its BS that we have to pay City at 12, we will barely have one day to prepare

Early games are generally pretty dire though, so that could work in our favour if we can catch them half awake

I think most players are up for the big games. Its the Hulls, that we used to trip on in the past.

There's been a common theme in our "title challenging" seasons where we beat the small teams and struggle against the big boys, or vice versa.

Michy Batshuayi... ever heard of him?

Apparently Arsene has and, according to Standard Liege's president, Roland Duchâtelet, Arsenal have indicated their interest in signing him:

"What is new is the interest of Arsenal in Michy, they’re one of the many clubs who follow our striker. We’re not willing to let Michy go this season.”

Hello

Never heard of him. Getting closer to January aren't we, more and more rumours surfacing.
