He cleared one off the Leicester goal line in the first half! Other than that I agree with what you say. VH was fine, nothing spectacular, probably should have done better with their second goal but overall a solid 6 out of 10. Whether that's enough to merit a start next game I don't know...

According to wiki he's signed... Current team Brighton & Hove Albion . Was seen jogging in brighton seafront this morning with a seagull on his head That's pretty conclusive isn't it? (No, I wasn't the 'wit' that edited wiki)

Bit frustrating that one. Would have loved to spend the next day or two in fifth. Leicester were organised, disciplined and very hard working and seemed to get the rub of the green. Not sure why it wasn't a penalty? Lovely header from Ferguson. He really does look the real deal.

After the first half a season we've had I'll be disappointed if we don't better last season's league finish. We've been able to sell from a position of strength - we had plenty of quality defensive options when we sold White, we had Caicedo when we sold Bissouma and we have Mitoma to fill...

We're not selling Caicedo this month. We're just not. So relax.

He'll probably use that as a 4 star review.

If he won't sign a new contract then Arsenal is probably the best outcome, especially if the alternatives are spurs and f***ing chelsea. Their playing style should suit him as opposed to spurs who have ruined Bissouma and Chelsea who are a joke. 25m would be nice and would put to bed any fears...

That's a good post and essentially (but more eloquently)why I said it must be hard as a fan. I think of it as being a bit like when a parent/grand parent gets dementia or something similar. They're still your parent/grandparent but the person they once were is gone. I guess that's maybe...

You're welcome. :( In terms of money spent you've spent 210million since the take over. Not outrageous but a decent amount and is top of the net spend table. You are right about the team, Howe's done an excellent job, one defeat and only 11 goals conceded in 19 games is an excellent...

That's kind of my original point. If I were a player I don't think I'd sign an 8.5 year contract. Some kind of mechanism that allowed the contract to be shortened, or more precisely allow either party to leave on reasonable terms if a certain set of conditions were met/not met would be more...

On the first point I guess it comes down to what someone considers enough for family security. Personally a four year deal on 100+ grand a week would provide me with plenty. So a four year deal would provide me with financial security and career flexibility. But I'm not ever going to be in...

That's true but the alternative isn't a one year contract on peanuts, it'll be the same 250grand a week but for most probably four years. So you'd hardly be struggling for money and like I said in my reply to Hugo Rune I don't think players think like that, or with the example of Bogarde in...

I'd be surprised if that's how professionals at that level(or possibly any level) think. And if that is his concern he'd still be on a hefty wage for a four year contract and could command a decent wage from his next club simply from being a Chelsea player and his earlier reputation. So he...

If I was a player I don't think I'd sign a contract for that long. It's too much of a risk of being tied to a club that could leave you on the bench or just go through a long period of transition/relative irrelevance . Careers are fairly short and he's tied to them until he's 30, so all of his...

Actually it's De Zerbinator.

Yep. :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: (one for each goal)

It feels like it. Hopefully that's just my pessimism though. We've been so good it'd be gutting to lose, even a draw would be disappointing based off the performance.

Gross at right back? A back 3? I'm a little stumped like everyone else by the Veltman omission. Still, there were going to be goals before the team selection, there'll be goals after it.

It's going to be Gross (Pascal as top prem scorer, not the Trossard situation being gross...)by the end of the season isn't it?

Should be a good game. I've been worried about Liverpool's firepower so was delighted to see no Firminho, Diaz, Jota or Nunez. Then I read they'll still have Gakpo and Salah and that Salah has six goals and six assists against us. So even down to the Harry Redknapp bare bones they still have...
