Stoke took the lead at arsenal and lost and it'll happen at anfield.
Tomorrow is a must win just to keep in touch with top 4!
 
Any chance that both Liverpool and Stoke can shoulder arms at 3-1? That's my prediction - so it won't be coming in. Bet on more goals. You can't lose.
 
I'm surprised that Bradley wasn't sacked earlier, to be honest. Awful choice.
Who's next for Swansea, though? Really needs to be someone with experience of their situation, this time.
 
He was a ridiculous appointment.

It's sad, in a way, watching from afar the slow but inevitable demise of a football club due to a series of inept decisions that every fan and his dog would've advised against. They've been steadily drifting since Brenda got the sack. 5 years of PL football down the drain it would seem.

Wouldn't surprise me if they appointed Pardew tbh. They haven't made a good decision in over 2 years.
 
Sacking the bloke who won them the league cup was odd. Sacking the bloke who is now at Leeds was odd.
Everything since has been villa esque in its bat **** craziness

There were plenty of rumours at the time that Laudrup's departure had more to do with the shady business he was up to off the pitch ( :emoticon-0164-cash: ) than the shady business his team was up to on it. Put it this way, when a young PL manager with a major trophy under his belt and a glittering playing career on his CV chooses the Qatari League as his 'next big challenge', something is amiss and the words 'tax', 'evade', 'launder' and 'extradition' spring to mind.

Monk was a mistake - adored by the fans and fellow players but too inexperienced to make it work in the long run. They sold Bony without replacing him, sold Williams without replacing him. The Guidolin appointment was bizarre but the Bradley one - and stranger still its timing - plumbed new depths on the 'Villa Scale'. It has been a solid 2-3 years now of stumbling punch-drunk from one knee-jerk decision to another. Clubs like B'mouth and West Brom show the fruits of stability and placing trust in your manager; clubs like Southampton show the fruits of making well-informed, sensible decisions - as well as the art of replacing a conveyor belt of talent with vultures circling above.
