We have the second best defence in the league this season.

It is kinda surprising when you have watched our games and see how all over the place our defence has looked at times. They have played really well in some games but think I would word it - we have managed to concede the second fewest amount of goals, DESPITE our defence!

I guess that's the benefit of having 75% possession most of the time - you tend not to concede as many goals while in possession, and defenders aren't required to do as much defending without the ball, which is probably for the best when you have Luiz in the team.

Lord imagine if Liverpool ended up winning the title and Man City the CL. I think that would be a worse season than when we finished 10th or 11th.

Watching Bernardo Silva and Fernandinho yesterday you have to think that is excactly the kind of players we would want in our midfield. Silva in Kante's position and Fernandinho where Jorginho is playing.

Agree! Two very underrated players. 

what the f**k have they done that makes them pay this much?

Was there ever a fee set by the tribunal for solanke when he moved to liverpool from us?

It never was reported farther than Liverpool wanted to pay 3m, we wanted about 7m more than that

It’s good to see this being spread all across the mainstream media and discussed in all radio/tv football shows. 

What, you mean nobody has mentioned it anywhere at all? What a surprise. 

I can’t actually believe anyone has actually given a f**k about us ‘orrible little racist/anti-Semitic scumbags...

I was at the game and it was sang loud and clear after 4 minutes then several times after. 

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock accused Liverpool of "a lack of class" after Reds defender Nathaniel Clyne completed a move to Bournemouth.

Clyne, 27, made his professional debut in 2008 under then Crystal Palace boss Warnock, who expected him to join Cardiff this month.

However, on Friday the England international joined Bournemouth on loan until the end of the season.

"It's a disgrace," Warnock told BBC Radio Wales.

"I was disappointed with Nathaniel Clyne, having known the player and giving him his debut [during their time at Crystal Palace].

"I'm not just disappointed with the boy himself, but with Liverpool as well for not ringing me, not telling me.

"To see it on television when I've done everything right and they have promised that he is my player this week, it's a disgrace and a lack of class."

 

Old Colin basically said the exact same thing about us after we sent Abraham on loan to Villa... Maybe the other clubs aren’t the problem if this keeps happening? Maybe players aren’t really that keen on playing for Colin and his sh*t team.

Yup......I haent seen it anywhere else. If that was us you would see it in sky bcc etc with dailymail asking all their writers to write a piece about it. Eng media has no honour integrity or anything resembling fair play. I really wish Chels was a Spanish Club......Theres not one thing I like about Eng footy anymore.....from the media to pgmol to fa to these bent refs.....and you are hated at the same time, f**k epl.

QPR vs Leeds - is it possible for both sides to lose?

For me it is very simple : 

Meanwhile over in Snakesville Madrid lose at home again. 

Real lost at home 0-2 [emoji23]

I’m disappointed, I was expecting another nutmeg 

Thibou did himself no favour going there did he........his stock gone way down. RM in trouble, a huge process is needed and lots of Cash.
