    3-point gap, it's not even February and you're talking about the title race being over? Such defeatism. You have incredible midfield creativity, a much better defence than City and a manager who knows how to win titles. Odds now up to 4/1 – I'm very very tempted, but I don't want to spend the...

    Actress / Nail the cross

    Can someone wheel out the 'electronic music for people who don't like electronic music' line please? Then I can shout house on my snob bingo card.

    After today I can't see Dan Evans' evidence counting for much.

    Old man Frank? Mikel? Dunno, but they're doing OK so far and Mata has hardly been playing.

    What if you replaced him with Ross Barkley, completing a trio of midfielders who look good enough and young enough to play together for the best part of a decade? Fair play to Mourinho: everyone thought cold-shouldering Mata was insane, but it's working out for them – Oscar has stepped up and...

    It was decades ago, so I'm long over it - but thanks.

    Trayvon Martin

    Those are UK figures, according to Baboon - not just London. Although 10% is roughly in line with the non-white population as a whole, I'd have thought. What does 'contact with the police' mean, though? Someone hanging himself in his cell? Old friend of mine was taken to the cells one night cos...

    I don't know what to do with mine. On the one hand, I can't pinpoint many players I'm not happy with (Nasri and Remy, maybe); on the other, I'm 7th :(

    We'll certainly know more about Liverpool's credentials by Sunday. Think I'd happily take one point from the next 2 games, provided it came from Chelsea rather than City.

    I quite fancy City for this, especially if Messi is still injured (will he be?). And the Arsenal v Bayern should be fantastic, too. Of course, now that I don't have Sky, I'll have to make do with ITV showing Man United again.

    Whereas I, out of respect for Tottenham's defence, took the captaincy off Suarez and gave it to Remy :(

    I think people are being a bit blinded about Uruguay: Suarez + semi-final in 2010 + South American ≠ victory over England in 2014, not after a qualification process that saw them draw at home to Jordan in the play-offs. Obviously they have a good chance – and I'm assuming the weather will work...

    There are now 8 teams above United. United have played them all this season. And beaten just one of them (Arsenal). Incredible scenes.

    They proved themselves in Fergie's nursery years... under different ownership in a different era and with a man who already had a record as a winner, rather than just an overachiever-under-the-circumstances. Moyes can go his first season without winning anything, but if he doesn't finish in a...
