    Their best feature is that Robbie Savage has tipped Uniturd.

    You’re saying Suarez doesn’t make his own goals and Kane does??

    You may be right that we would miss those chances but we do score goals.

    The biggest difference is that spurs will hold onto the lead and not concede.

    We do.

    Over the course of a season when there's tight games and such those forwards who will score that one chance that comes are vital. Where we might win quite a few there will be those games where that one chance comes and goes.

    Kane, morata, lukaku, Aguero are setting the league on fire so far.

    Spurs have no back up. Chelsea are mixed, Utd have 3 or 4 guys to pick from and city have Jesus etc.

    We are relying on one of the front 3 to get one. Like we need all 3 to get 10-15 each.

    So Hodgson got no help from his "good friend Sir Alex", maybe if he'd have touted their friendship earlier in the week the Scot could have had a quiet word with Maureen to go easy on Palace.

    The old ****er should know there's no friends or favours in modern day football.

    No, I said the top players like Kane and Suarez make 20-30% of their own goals.

    Even Chelsea will be almost impossible to overtake. They have a decent defence so can scrape a 1-0 or 2-1 with the best.

    I am afraid it looks like we've hit our peak last season in coming fourth. We had the help of very few extra matches: no Europe and out of cups early.

    This season with more difficult matches to play, we've not improved our squad whilst others have.

    The mancs have had an extremely easy start to their season, playing only weak teams and their first real test is meeting us next. We have to stop them otherwise their morale will be further up.

    I haven't been taking to much notice, but has Rooney's inclusion been pushing Gylfi wide left?

    Oh I've no clue tbh. Astro can tell us all about it.

    I think the ajax lad has also been wide and that's not really fair on his abilities

    No. We've not been playing with anyone on the flanks

    Are you happy with Rooney being benched Tobes? Is your midfield not working with Rooney in it?

    Yes, he needed to change it, Rooney has been playing at 10 but dropping off too deep and leaving us short of bodies up top.
