I love the guy but I'm surprised he wasn't gone before Christmas. Watford are going down.

I see Arsenal are supposed to be extending Arteta's contract by 2 years. The other teams in the prem are smiling.

Hehe, I think Cavani was offsides. I'll take it.

Man Utd are the luckiest team in the world.
It's insane.

It's not luck it's subconscious bias.

Westwood still on the pitch. Unbelievable!

How did we not win this game?!
I hate Dyche and Burnley. Just another Stoke.

Very poor stuff, doesn't matter who's on the pitch, Spurs will always put in the same dross performances at Stamford Bridge. It's one of those footballing foregone conclusions. Lack of creativity in the Spurs midfield means that teams can move their defensive line up and throttle service from the middle of the park. Hopefully we can address this in the transfer window, but as we've discussed on here, transfers for difference makers generally aren't viable in January.

Fortunately Arsenal weren't able to beat Burnley, so it's not as bad as it could've been in the top four stakes.

I didn't even cheer that goal because I figured it would get called back. Then I was, last minute strike to win the game at Old Trafford? No chance, the three points are a done deal.

This is why I was so disappointed with Leicester's loss to Spurs. Spurs are nothing special, tbh Brighton are a better team.

There are just 3 teams at the top this season.

Lampard must have made good money as player. So why get on the manager carousel?

Guess the same could be asked of Gerrard and Rooney who's a manager in the lower divisions?

Did he get arrested? Does it look pretty cut and dry he's a piece of ****. I ask cuz I just saw the notification that Man UTD isn't commenting on it.

In custody and getting questioned by Police is what I heard.

Way to blow up a career which could have run another 10 years.
