    Park the bus FC Chelsea report £49.4m LOSS

    Chelsea play a negative system designed to kill the game and nick a goal. The counter attacking suits Mata, it's the defensive elements of Chelsea's play that don't suit him. Mourinho will only make room for one non-defending player and he's chosen Hazard over Mata.

    Will Jose stop parking the bus Yes or No

    Norwich were the reigning champions?

    Will Jose stop parking the bus Yes or No

    Didn't Jose do the same thing just the other way round? He parked the bus for the draw and had to bring on some attacking players to salvage a result, the same result United got. To be fair both United and Chelsea were forced into that tactic as United went into the game without either of their...

    Merry Christmas

    Has any team done the first on Christmas Day to fifth before New Year's Day achievement before or is this unprecedented? Is there a trophy for it?

    Dippers title challenge is now over for another season

    Was it ever announced what the owners expected of the new Manchester United manager? I know other clubs claim that it's "their season" and prematurely crown themselves but it's not been the United way for some time. Most people expected City to win the league (apart from many Chelsea and...

    Dippers title challenge is now over for another season

    I don't think any manager has ever taken over the reigning champions and retained the trophy so it would be unprecedented for Moyes to do it.

    Haven't Hull already beaten Liverpool this season?

    Never thought I'd see the Norwich non-penalty of last season trumped for incompetence

    I thought Liverpool got a raw deal from Webb today but they have and will get favours from refs during the season. I think referring to Webb as Ferguson's, and now Mourinho's, stooge is embarrassing.

    Is Suarez a flat track bully?

    He's still too much of a head down player and doesn't bring his teammates into play enough. That's fine against lesser defenders but not the better ones which is why only Arsenal came in for him over the summer. Wenger knows how to win the PL and he's missed a volume striker for a number of years.

    Liverpool are in 5th

    At a guess it's more to do with premature gloating by the Liverpool fans and the current momentum of both sides. To go from 1st to 5th inside of a week is kind of funny especially for a club like Liverpool who have been on the cusp of great things for over 20 years! It looks a bit like a case of...

    Chelsea vs Liverpool

    Maybe but I think that was probably a one off!

    Merry Christmas

    I don't think Liverpool will finish in the top 4. They have been playing at the top of their game while teams like Manchester United and Spurs have been stuttering along but the gap is now only 2 points and Everton are above them all despite having a new manager and system/style.

    OMT: Tottenham Hotspur v Stoke City

    I didn't see the game but Soldado seems to be earning his wages in successful penalty conversions. Can the guy play a bit as well? I heard expert commentator Michael Owen say a few weeks ago that he's never rated him and saw him up close when they were both at Real Madrid (although Soldado must...

    Chelsea vs Liverpool

    I don't understand your post but this is an odd forum. Doesn't anyone actually want to discuss football or is it all about insults and wind up posts?
