    Sunderland weren't even that good today. It was in many ways a typical Allardyce performance: 3 shots on target, 3 goals.

    I think he'll keep them up. Villa could go into meltdown as they also have a distinctly sub-average squad that lacks even the know how and experience of Sunderland or Toon.

    I think Villa, B'mouth (sadly) and Chelsea will go down. In that order.

    Chelsea's Russian dictator will be sadly in tears if he reads your comment,CK.

    Sunderland's 3rd goal was nice. Good stuff from Kaboul.

    So glad the commentator is unbiased during the Liverpool game today.Celebrating Benteke's goal like a fan "that's what we'll see plenty of as Liverpool posper under him (Klopp)". So that is inevitable then.

    Agreed. It was shoulder to shoulder, which is okay. I suppose you could argue that Coloccini gives him a little push at the end, but not enough for it to be a pen, to me, nor for it to be called most of the time.

    Klopp, Sherwood and AVB on the one hand and Pochettino on the other contrast in their reactions. I actually like the former group for celebrating, since they are in the entertainment business. But not celebrating is a better idea if you want to win. Celebration is a distraction and encourages everyone to relax. It certainly happened to Liverpool today. Celebrate when the game is over...or the season.

    Tough choice at the weekend: do we want to see Liverpool win so Moron gets the sack, or Chelsea get a point so the sickly fug of Klopp and Mouser fanboyism in the media continues to look misplaced and utterly stupid?

    "Tough choice at the weekend: do we want to see Liverpool win so Moron gets the sack,
    or Chelsea get a point so the sickly fug of Klopp and Mouser fanboyism in the media continues to look misplaced and utterly stupid?"

    A draw.
    I want both sickly sagas to linger on unto the moment when neither Chelsky nor the Poool
    are able to take a potential CL slot away from Spurs.

    After that, do with them what you will.

    Definitely don't want Moron to get the sack. A manager without his arrogance and paranoia could do some real damage with that squad.

    A draw would be ideal.

    The Chelsea board has become a ghost town.

    I'll enjoy it whatever the result but in an ideal world I'd like Chelsea to win and Mourinho to limp on until our game, where we win a third london derby in a row to put the final nail in Jose's coffin.

    COYS :D

    What happens in a match of they both have 5 players sent off for a mass brawl? Surely nobody gets points. If so, that please

    That's an interesting one: having five sent off usually results in the other team being awarded a 3-0 win, but if both teams have five sent off is it declared a 3-3 draw?

    I wonder if both teams are considered to have lost 3-0?

    Or the team which has the 5th one sent off first, loses?

    Being technical and pedantic it's impossible to show a card to multiple players at once. Yes to the naked eye it seems like that. For example when two players get sent off for brawling...but technically one was waived the red card first, a split second before the other got it.

    So the team with the player furthest from the ref wins the game? Doesn't sound fair.

    I've seen worse logic in football being used.
