Yeah, doubt they move him on. They need someone else too though. Saw a report they were going to bid 26 MIl on Bent, that would be hilarious.

Why didn't they go after Falcao earlier this year? He fit their price range. I would say Aguero, but he was a tad pricy.

And there's no way they sell Suarez now after all the YNWA campaigns lol

Carroll has 4 goals in 23 games. Talk about disappointment.

AVB changes the formation and the bench is the youngest we've had in a long time lol.

Frimpong gets subbed. I quite don't understand this at all. The guy was the only one who was playing well in that midfield and he's the freshest pair of legs out there.

Steven Fletcher is on quite a goal scoring run.

I'll take him at CF ;)

Nice to see Frimpong playing well for Wolves. His best games thus far have been against Chelsea and Man City, worst against Shrewsbury and Olympiacos. Strange

I thought Hammill played well for Wolves whereas Frimpong was a non-factor in this one. But then he played without Jarvis and Fletcher most of the time.

I'm not an Arsenal fan and i already want to throw Gervinho off a cliff. What a waste of space.

Just a complete lack of end product, beats three guys and kicks it in the stands. If we do get Podolski I wouldn't be surprised if he started of Gervinho.

Silly by Djourou. It's soft as hell, there's no way a guy as strong as Bobby Zamora hits the deck from that amount of contact unless he wants to go down, but players these days should know better than to grab a bit of shirt or put their arm across a player in such an area of the pitch, especially when they've already been booked.

Fulham's looking really good in the second half. They've got some very good players in Dembele, Dempsey and Ruiz

Good win for Fulham. They dominated the second half. Gervinho and Rosicky were too wasteful

I should learn that the Arsenal game is never over until the ref blows the whistle.

Switched off at 83 thinking they'd coast.

That wasn't a foul or card by any stretch. But poor performace anyway, gave the game away when Ramsey came off, couldn't keep possession.

Rosicky should not be coming on as a winger at this point. He's bad enough at the centre of midfield as it is.

And how Yossi Benayoun has managed to play for Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal, i'll never know.

I thought he was great in the Liverpool game as well, despite the sending off.

Yeah, he was actually. He'll learn, I think. He certainly has the passion.

Szczesney was poor on both goals, I think. Poor attempt at a clearance on the first. Didn't react at all for the second. Squillaci (surprise!) also at fault for the second. First league game of the year and he gives away the winning goal.

Rosicky is garbage, wasteful in possession, never a threat to beat a man or score a goal. If you watch him during the first Fulham goal it's an absolute disgrace.
