Managers have been moaning about this in England for years, and I think they have a point. For one, we have an extra cup compared everyone else (League Cup). Other leagues also get a winter break, while we pile on the games. By the time the CL knockouts come about things start getting really jammed if you're still involved in all competitions, with April and May often getting ridiculous as it will for United this year. It'd be nice if the FA thought about scheduling more games in the slower period before Christmas to lighten the load at the business end of the season. Maybe then PL clubs wouldn't be so consistently disappointing in the European cups.

More a massacre than a spectacle though.

Pep doesn't look pleased. Another good weekend for us.

City might be desperate for points by the time they come to the Bridge. Hopefully they crush Arsenal.

These misses!

Penalty to Pool.

Indeed. Whilst I disagree that it's an apt description for him, someone who rips apart the "fodder" of the league is someone who wins titles.

Missed it in real time, good catch. Definitely a pen there and possibly a red card for that clip on Sterling. City had two pen claims in that one attack in all honesty.

What a miss!

Nice end to end stuff in this game.

Has Shane Long ever been onside?

City team | Caballero, Fernandinho, Stones, Otamendi, Clichy, Yaya Touré, Sané, De Bruyne, Silva (C), Sterling, Agüero LFC team | Mignolet, Clyne, Matip, Klavan, Milner, Can, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Coutinho, Firmino. What is Pep thinking with that lineup? I wouldn't be surprised if City get destroyed.

Saints really up for this second half. Could end in tears for Spurs yet. 2-1.

Spurs certainly are getting the rub of the green with penalties this season. Nevertheless you have to give them credit for assembling such a good team with so little spent. Pochettino is shaping up to be a great manager.

He's always been a twat. The only difference is he's no longer our twat.
