    to be fair wouldn't be the first team with decent players to go down. West Ham's mega team from a few years back with Joe Cole, Di Canio, Kanoute, Defoe, Carrick, Bowyer, David James, Les Ferdinand Sinclair is one such team.

    You look at the west ham team before and theres no balance although Moyes has done a cracking job. They have a few flair players but their mid is shocking and their full backs aren't any great shakes but Moyes has them working harder and has them organised.

    Funny how Moyes, Allardyce and Hodgson were all recently written off as dinosaurs.

    Yes, we have one of those too! Best striker at the club that could do with a foil, and we don’t play a game that suits him. Depressing.

    VVD out makes the second one marginally less interesting, but still potentially a great spectacle.

    Even that doesn't make me muster a smile this morning. A 5-0 defeat may help a bit later on though, especially if Lovren can get a couple funny OG's!

    Agreed it makes it slightly less interesting but it's still the two best attacking sides in the league so should be a great game. It just means City are even more likely to win :)

    Bournemouth Arsenal should be interesting too.

    Yeah if the rumours are true that he will receive the transfer fee from City if he waits until the summer then I think I'd sit tight for 5 months. £25m is worth it.

    Indeed, he has done the hard part, now just play the waiting game & watch the offers flood in like some obscene waterfall of gold.

    According to reports on sky and Twitter Man Utd are the favourites to sign him but he wants to go to City...........but as you say not traveling means something is happening.

    I want the top 6 to win every game against lower sides....except versus Saints.

    I have a feeling we will beat Spurs.....though this may change 5 mins prior to kick off.

    Can really see Bournemouth winning today, meaning we are reliant on United winning tomorrow night to keep us out of the relegation zone. With us playing next Sunday also, the chances of us being in the bottom 3 by the time we kick off vs Spurs are high.

    Arsenal can't defend. And no Ozil or Sanchez.

    Bournemouth won't win today. Best they can hope for is a draw, but I think Arsenal will win comfortably.
