    Do you think there is any chance that the media might actually discuss the game, or will it all be about Mourhino's breakdown or Klopp's resurrection of the bin dippers.

    Take a wild guess! :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    If they were playing anyone outside the top four, the paperwork would be sorted for his dugout ban to begin. If Mourinho wanted to get the press and FA back, he'd call them out on it, and then go and self-serve his ban for that game.

    Everyone save Shaw has big feet. There's one nipper there wearing very short skis or clown shoes.!

    What is Shaw wearing? Looks like he dressed in the dark, before stumbling down to aforesaid kebab shop. :)

    Having hard time deciding on what I want from the Chelsea v Liverpool game. Head says a draw as that will benefit Saints the most, but heart not so sure. Dislike Liverpool more than Chelsea, but Chelsea losing has more fun factor because I dislike Mourinho more than Klopp. Real problem is that I like Klopp, but that makes me feel dirty (liking a Liverpool manager:emoticon-0119-puke:).

    I feel it will end in a draw. Liverpool are struggling to score at the moment and Chelsea just don't want to loose another game!

    A draw would suit us :)

    Klopp has the unenviable job of making a silk purse from a sow's ear....though they have a few players out. Shame, isn't it? :)

    Well known fact, size 7-8 is the sweet spot for football control.

    West Ham chairman David Sullivan believes the Hammers can complete a Premier League and FA Cup double.(Talksport)

    Whilst I agree with <laugh><laugh><laugh>, I have sympathy for the ambitions of smaller clubs....I want the top 4 stranglehold broken...just not by West Ham.

    Whilst I agree with smaller clubs like us and West Ham etc.....to win the double would be one hell of an achievement , I mean even the big money boys would have to go some to win the double.
    I believe without looking up, Chelsea were the last team in 2009/10 to win the double.

    Thing is, a lot of us (the fans) were talking about a top four finish fairly seriously last season, at least until Christmas, so a lot of people on here can only laugh in hindsight.
    West Ham will fade off like we did. Just takes an injury or two of their key players. Thing is, their goals come from a wider variety of sources than ours did, so maybe they'll last a bit longer. The Christmas fixtures are what finish off smaller teams, combined with the under-performing big teams being able to afford the 'get out of jail free' card in the January sales.

    Shows how important it is to get into the right team....but hind sight is a wonderful thing. Could have been a great move for him, but Moyes (as manager of a team like United) probably couldn't take chances, especially when he had a lot of players at his disposal. However, every player should be kept aware of what is going on and what they can do to improve themselves, though you will never keep everyone happy.

    The lesson is that to go to a top 4 side, you have to be very mature and able to take knock backs and be exceptional. You won't get the attention you need if you are merely promising. The fact that Pardew is being tough with him shows he isn't the finished article.

    Interesting tactics from Klopp, no recognised striker in the Liverpool XI.
