Yaya's probably knackered out knowing our luck.
We have definitely missed him though.

Think he has played 4 games whilst away which is less than we have played so hopefully he is OK, we definitely have missed him, don't think Garcia has really stood in for him, we needed Nasri to start performing so Jimmy Milner could be used centrally.

I don't think Garcia has done a lot wrong - he was excellent against Stoke, did a good job playing at centre-half against QPR, and yesterday...well, everyone except Milner and Aguero played poorly yesterday.

As for missing Yaya, I don't think he's been too missed - we were winning until Kompany got injured, which suggests that he's been missed far more. Plus, our problem hasn't been creating chances, but putting them away - I don't think Yaya's absence can have much to do with our strikers' finishing.

Our man united one star troll is back.

Place your bets who's the bandit.

Winston? Strettford? Mudd? Redblackanwhiteside?

You should be able to name an shame these poor pathetic fiends with their low rating of a harmless defenceless thread .

Last year he more or less got off the plane, got his kit on and played a blinder. It seemed to do him good - hope its had the same effect!

What with South Africa only having a +2 hour time difference jet lag won't be an issue. Long flight but he should be fit for Southampton.
