    Almost half way this season. Not been great so far.

    Anderlecht struggling in the league, humiliated in Europe and in the cup.

    Teenage favourites Sparta and Rosenborg have been abysmal in Europe as well and that's the only competition I am able to follow them, though I get that RBK has won the league.

    Lazio doing well on all accounts, fortunately.


    This season has been a step in the wrong direction for Rosenborg unfortunately. But with the right appointment of a good for next season they should be able to turn that around. The squad is not too bad at all.

    The number of injuries this season has been ridiculous too. Can't remember a season quite like this one.

    It's a long drawn out painful slog, Jose needs to go

    Adding to that they played arguably the weakest team in the competition.

    Would have expected more than a late 1-0 winner, that's for sure.

    Liverpool not doing too well in Paris. 2-1 at half-time (Liverpool goal a penalty). Only thing to get from this game as a neutral is how sick in my mouth I get by watching Neymar.

    I was just talking to my brother about this game and City against Lyon, I think there is perhaps more of a gulf between the Top prem teams and the lower ones than I realised. I don't think the likes of Liverpool and City are being tested enough and its too easy for them in the league.

    The gap between the top teams and those below them is huge. In quality of course, but also money. If the economic gap hadn't been that big, the competition wouldn't either. Interestingly, every PL team is apparently within the top 40 or something highest-earning clubs in the world, because of TV rights etc.

    When United were winning the league for fun our CL form suffered, we were just not getting the competition domestically and got found out in the CL. I think the gap in the PL has grown a lot in the last couple of seasons, it pains me United are not getting there act together and are faltering so much.

    Change the word United with Arsenal and you have us Arsenal fans! I hope Emery can make the club more competitive with time, but two-three transfer windows are needed before we'll see what he's really about. Very happy with the results he's got so far though.

    To be honest I can see you beating us at Old Trafford in a few weeks we really are appalling, though admittedly Jose always seems to get good results against Arsenal though that was Wengers Arsenal.

    I think it'll be a difficult game for Arsenal. The Arsenal defenders aren't exactly known for their pace, and I can definitely see Martial or Rashford doing serious damage on the counter.

    With the respective defences there should be goals for sure.

    Happily take the draw at Hull the other night as it keeps us top. What a game between Villa and Forest last night. Fans certainly got their monies worth that's for sure.

    Dave Kiston blames Tony Pulis' 'hatred' for Arsene Wenger as the reason why Aaron Ramsey suffered a cruel leg break at Stoke in February 2010

    At least Stoke are in the Championship now…

    That's a big statement to make,i wonder how Pulis will react to that.
