The Good: Credit where it's due, Manchester United are looking like they are on the verge of turning things around. Tough to admit, coming from an Arsenal supporter. The Bad: Liverpool's performance against Stoke. Sure, they got the win, but they remain a distant shadow of the team of season 12/13. They would have won by 5 or 6 if they were in the same vein of form as last season. But hey, that's football. The Ugly: Not so much as ugly as it was (almost) brilliant, but Leicester's last gasp effort at QPR that very nearly earned them a point. As it is, it'll go down as a missed chance, but it could have been so much more.

Good: The Siggy & Bony show, RvP thunderbolt and promotion saving form of Ings and Austin. Bad: The form of Hull. From FA cup finalists to struggling in PL. Ugly: Aguero getting booked for diving when it was a clear foul/penalty. Have the refs gone too far in trying to stamp out diving?
