    Haven't watched highlights properly yet but caught a quick shot of Stoke giving away about 10 nailed on pens. None given. <laugh>

    Thing is with Lukaku is that people say he's not a big game player which may or may not be true, but he does guarantee consistent goals against the smaller clubs.

    Look at how many draws United had against the likes of Bournemouth and Wba last year, he can (and likely will) be the difference in those games.

    No chance of Arsenal winning it, the manager simply isn't good enough.

    Been doing a bit of research this morning, checking out some mini mal's for next year.
    Reckon a 7'6" should do me.


    A mate of mine makes boards, not cheap though.
    Have a look at Howzi Surfboards.

    I'll b going more budget though!

    Whether he's a big game player will depend on whether he gets the service against the better defences. My guess is that in that team he will. He's a natural goalscorer, and a one man wrecking ball. Not what you might call a cultured footballer, but in a Mourinho team, he won't need to be...

    Re the Arsenal manager, I'd love him to finally prove everyone wrong.

    He has everything bar a good first touch. He masters that he'll be a real monster striker. I'm talking a consistent 1 in 1 striker.

    Look at Suarez (for example) excellent first touch, literally scores buckets of goals due to his first touch.

    Gayle deserved a yellow for the way he threw himself on the floor, he was going down before he was touched

    I'd have had him sent off but I've backed Hudds.

    They don't look like a relegation team to me, I watched their game last week and they never stopped running and harassing palace, defending from the front, and they look organised at the back too. Maybe they don't have the quality, but if you can do the basics properly it's a big bonus, that's something West Ham haven't been able to do for 2 seasons.

    Huddersfield are a Liverpool-lite. Very good attacking gegenpressing team.

    Wagner being Klopps best mate is helpful too. Having Ward on loan last season massively helped them get promotion.

    I don't see them going down either.

    The table suggests Liverpool are Huddersfield-lite
