    Mate, I don't know why you're getting so precious about my comments but Sunderland is like walking into the 70s. It's not threatening or anything which is nice and the people seem friendly, but it's a dive. Watford is paradisiacal in comparison though I don't live there any more.

    And swap United and City round!

    All three promoted teams won't go back down, i'd pick Boro to stay up.

    With how much you guys are looking like spending and Leicester having just won the league, I'd agree with both!

    Agree on the relegation points too

    * Pogba if he comes will be good but not for 100M

    £100m will be crazy, there are other players that could do a very good job for far less, just need to find them.

    You can find them in the squad.

    They're called Herrera and Schneiderlin.

    I like Schneiderlin, or I did until he joined you scumbags ;)

    Can't see why he doesn't play more. Not overly fussed about Herrera from what I've seen but tbf, that's only about half a dozen times.

    Give both a run as a partnership and they'd be fine. van Gaal used neither well, it's pretty clear the ability is there in both of them.

    If we get Pogba though one or both won't get a sniff.

    I've just done a calculation of the Liverpool games. We finished top and were unbeaten.

    Leicester were 19th with 4 wins.

    ... interesting stat ... by coincidence the exact same number as the losses we have had in the last 48 EPL games we have played ... how many losses have Liverpool had over that period? ... Oh dear .. stats suggest that 'Pool might just do a Villa :) ... get on Everton to finish above 'Pool people ... and the Champions to finish above both... :) ... Sky's calculator only calibrated in multiples of 80 ... the 1980s ... :)

    He's doing what the others are...

    Saving a total embarrassment of next season when you finish in the bottom 3.


    The strangest thing is a lot of Leicester fans say 'next season doesn't matter as we've achieved our goal etc. etc. etc.' - what a load of nonsense. You're champions of England you should be trying to strengthen and do it again or at minimum finish top 4. I get the impression they recognise it was a fluke and can't be arsed to try again. Very embarrassing for a team that became champions.

    Think Middlesbrough will stay up. Liverpool to take the final relegation place after Skylarker is allowed to make the final day team talk and puts the team into a state of boredom and depression
