Liverpool are so far ahead of everyone else its hard to quantify, possibly the best tean ever to play

Such statements are both ridiculous and funny. That's actually quite hard to do.


Happy with a point. Missed most of the game as there was a once in 8 or 9 year game of GAA on.

What a terrible second half. Glad I switched over to Cork v Kerry, now that was a game.

There’s a really annoying background buzzing sound on the game on Premier Sports on the Sky platform.

0-1.

Terrible football but in fairness intriguing to watch alright

Leicester regressed to the mean last season (or below it), so I don't really see any point in making them out to be serious title challengers yet.

It'd be hugely impressive if they got even 75 points.

I watched that early Villa disallowed goal

Ridiculous decision

A slightly more clear cut of the decision against Leicester where Xhaka was ruled offside. Xhaka was more to the side though. At least Leno's view was impeded in this game which makes it slightly more justified

This is it

Peno no? No shouts at all for it

This is it

Cracker. 2-0 Villa, poor show from Arsenal

Go on Villa

This is it

And off the line now. Arsenal all over the place

This is it

We want 4!

~Rebel~

Bloody hell, serious flurry of football from Villa!

Cracker of a finish.

<edit>
Sold Watkins from my FF team for this week. Gutted.

Anyone know when Villa, City, United and Burnley play their games in hand?

I hate the way the league goes out of sync for weeks on end and you have to try calculate where a team might be if they win their game in hand. I imagine it can be quite phycological on teams too.

Villa like the Sunday night slot. 3rd win at this time apparently.

United and City have no free weekends or midweeks until at least mid January. And depending on how they progress in the cups and Europe it could way later than that before they find a free date.

I doubt teams or players are too worried about it though.

Is this considered a negative term? I see it's been given a card.

What's the background? Weren't they originally known as Woolwich Arsenal?

Klopp and Guardiola going on about 5 subs again. Why not use your squad?

TAA has played almost every minute for Liverpool, is that really necessary?
The managers playing in Europe who utilise their squads will see the most benefit, Jose is one.

Heard the commentator saying yesterday that Moyes would change his mind and back the 5 subs rule if he had to vote again, it's not just big clubs.


Jose is playing in the Europa league in fairness, he can well afford to use his squad for that. If the 5 sub rule was in play then managers could use their squads even more couldn't they?

Yes, I don't necessarily think it is a bad idea, but as it is not currently in, the managers need to work around it.

Managers want to play their first 11 every game then complain about injuries, they need to rotate by choice, not because they are forced through injuries.
