    If Spurs hadn't been missing Rose and Vertonghen they might not have been torn apart so easy at the back; & even then it took a brilliant performance from Mane to do it. I wouldn't be writing off Spurs just yet.

    Don't be silly, it was far more important that they discuss the rights and wrongs of Sunderland going to New York o_O

    That got me thinking, when was the last time we scored direct from a free kick?

    JWP last season vs WBA?

    Can't count Tadic vs Arsenal this season, because that went it off Cech.

    Although the last time anyone scored a FK vs Chelsea in the league, it was our Rickie.

    Robbie Brady is the first Premier League player to score a direct free-kick vs Chelsea since Rickie Lambert in March 2013.

    I thought Barton admitted the gambling stuff? How is he still playing?

    I don't really dislike any team and want them to go down, but I hope Leicester stay up (even though they have Satan's son playing for them).

    Guardiola was already preparing a £40m bid for Mawson after he played his way out of his penalty box earlier. Now he's upping it to a £60m bid.

    A lot of their players just aren't very good. Huth/Morgan had their Indian Summers last season and there's no Kante to protect them. Also think a lot know they can never match it so aren't fully motivated.

    Combination of all of that imo.


    Hope they go down.

    They're higher in the table than they were 24 months ago. Remove the freak 12 months, and they're at the same level as before.
