Just watching the goal highlights, why on earth is Ox on Dawson for Dawson's second? West Brom are the best team from set pieces in the league, and zonal marking isn't going to cut it. 3 West Brom players were available to head that ball in for the third goal. Absolutely unbelievable at top level football, a complete tactical failure for 3 players to find themselves open in and around the 6 yard box.

Does Arsenal have even a single player on their roster who wasn't born when Wenger took charge?

Jeff Adelaide is the only one I can think of in their first team

Another big win against a relegation threatened team for Leicester. Is that 4 out of 4 for Shakespeare? Very impressive start.

Schmeichel with some unbelievable saves at the end there.

Yes, they are the best.

Watch on YouTube


Chelsea win but despite the late goal they seem pretty tired, with only 13 players it is obvious... Especially moses (but even pedro and matic) run out of gas.

good job there's an international break then - or maybe not.

Eriksen must be Spurs best player.

You could pick anyone out of a handful of players. This team really looks outstanding at times.

It's between Lloris, Alderweireld, Rose, Eriksen and Kane for best player. Alli will be up there in a season or two.

With Gabbiadini and Tadic this Southampton team carries some threat.

Think Gabbiadini might have picked up an injury though.

Fun game. If either team can sort out their flaws in the summer they'll be a great team.

A nice result from Spurs' perspective, and a good game of football.

Liverpool v Everton is on Sportsnet World this weekend. Nothing on the other sportsnet channels. Those SNAKES. Just bury that stupid channel already.

Premier League's finally back...

Two big games with the Merseyside derby and Arsenal vs. Man City this weekend. Two draws would be lovely.

And Leicester have two very big games too. Both at home and against mediocre opposition. The type of games we need to win, Stoke and then Sunderland. Win them both and we're sitting mid-table and relatively safe, lose them and we're back in the ****.

Following that we have 4 matches in 9 days - 2 away in the prem and the 2 games against Atletico. So win these two, relax and enjoy, lose them and ignore the CL for an away point.

Good win for Spurs, considering their lineup, Burnely is very tough at home.
