    I don't even think it's a miracle, I think it's an easy achievement to gain 11 additional points more than the worst three clubs in the league, I'd say it's a lot easier achievement then trying for a play-off or auto promotion place, where you are up against top competition for limited places, if they hadn't received the points deduction. They only need to aim to finish 21st and it's job done.

    Yeah, I see what you mean if you are meaning miracle from the beginning of the season, but now it's just 11 points more than the worst three. They got Reading coming up next, and they are in the place Derby need to be aiming for, 21st.

    21 points I think and think they lost their best midfielder to injury as well as not having money to make decent signings.

    Depends what happens with administrators this coming week. Without new owners in place they can’t operate in the window or extend the contracts of players like Jagielka who’s deal expires on the 17th. They’d be comfortably in midtable on 31 points if it wasn’t for the deductions, if they can replicate their form in the second half of the season then they could stay up, but without a new owner they’re ****ed.

    Wind it in, your lad Choudhury has history for reckless and dangerous tackles, I don't recall your manger coming out and insisting he's to do community service to make up for it.

    An Arsenal win would at least keep the title race alive but then I don’t give a **** about that so yeah fine COMON CITEH

    Watford were as bad as a prem team can be the other day, including our various gubbings, so it would be mighty embarrassing to **** this up.

    Think Liverpool should be able to call off the game against Chelsea.
    A few players out of form/out with injury isn’t good for the integrity of the league.

    give Klopp a few days to calm down, looks ready to blow again.

    Might as well watch it but don't see the Gooners getting anything.

    Nice run of games today. Will be good for kids to not have to talk to me today. Looks good for three away wins if I were able to remeber my sky betting account password

    My new years resolution lol. Jinx every game.

    Seriously though, I think the gooners will be fresher, much more up for it, they've got a good home record. I think City will put in a laboured performance.

    Could've been given as a pen but tbf Martinelli fcked that up with his first touch.

    He should've been able to get a shot away if he'd controlled it better.
