Not to worry anyone. but Chelsea are the only possible bidders for you-know-who, so it would be nice if their defence could hold it together for one more month,
 
This has still got a Victor (or Rose) red card to come. It's not game over yet.
 
Marco Silva in at Hull.

Guess which Portuguese agent he is connected with,

Talking point. Jamie Redknapp gives his top 20 PL goals....Matty is 4th, Di Canio is 1st. A massively hard job I know as there have been so many goals, but I'd have put Cuco's in there. I bet it would have been considered more if he had been a striker....there is always this idea that non-strikers didn't mean it and it was luck (possibly true, but you still have to strike it). Almost all overhead goals are luck as well....you do it because you have few choices, so you hope it will go in or at least surprise the opposition.

Fair point with Cucos goal Fran, if that was Rooney it would have sky fawning all over it showing it repeatedly , but I agree with Di Canio being 1st, sublime technique.
 
Is Di Canio's the volley from the angle? I've always felt that a good goal but not as good as made out. It has one piece of skill, the volley, that's it.

I always thought that and felt I was on my own. Always made worse by my brother being a Spammer.

I feel we can support each other through this.

That said, Cuco's goal also had one piece of skill.

Le Tissiers goals were constantly sprinkled with magic dust and silk with every touch...
