You know when you think about it, we've rarely been neck and neck like this. I mean, when we were winning back-to-back titles in the 70s and 80s you's lot where nowhere. Similarly, when you were doing the business in the 90s and 00s we were lost at sea too. (Maybe that season with Benitez where we finished second was a rare instance where one side was at least vying for the title with the other).

Honestly, do you believe this could be the start of a proper Manchester United v Liverpool rivalry like no other, where we're chopping and changing position at the top of the table? I do bloody hope so!

City have a run of fixtures against bottom half of the table. Wouldnt suprise me if them and liverpool are clear of the rest by end of march.

It's genuinely wonderful/staggering.

"we've been affected most by covid", he says as the lower leagues got called off this week after they returned from a Dubai trip that was paid for by their bottomless pit of cash. Top class.

Kane scored in the 25th minute.
His 25th header to complete the trio of at least 25 headers, left foot goals and right foot goals.

Third player to do it in the prem after Cole and Fowler.

Another dubious record for the otherwise empty Spurs trophy cabinet.

As it stands 4 points seperate 1st to 6th. Nuts

So how's it going? What's our possession Vs Fulham at home, I predict 47%

I see a goal has been scored. Did we defend for the remaining 75 mins?

We just conceded.

Im not watching so no idea what's going on, just over 50% possession.

Sounds about right. José is a genius. José is a winner. League cup defeat Vs man city in the final but he sure will kick up a big fuss after the match.

What a shambles. We should have sold every player who complained about Poch as a lesson for the rest, one by one, started again. I'll take 17th and a vision, a style, a future, a culture, over cynical, anti football, grind-a-draw shite. God I hate Mourinho.

Yeah but you don't understand football. Have you ever played it?

We all love jose when hes not managing our teams.

I can’t believe Leno had the gall to prevent such a wonderful goal from Palace. What a fab move.

It’s just weird that all of palaces kits are a variation on red and blue which is a little bit against the spirit of the thing.

The way arsenal play now they could really do with Giroud.

Rooney now permanent manager at Derby, and retires from playing.
I've paid no attention to whether they've done better since he's been in charge or not, but the cynic in me wonders if he'll still be manager by the end of the season given they're bottom 3 and a takeover expected in coming weeks.

Higgins vs Sullivan is all kinds of impressive.

So, the Newcastle players want to play with a back 5, even though their biggest problem is up front.

I imagine Callum Wilson isn't one of those wedded to the Benitez formation.

I suspect they're probably going back to the last time they had an actual system. Formation is kind of irrelevant if there's no system or style of play to support it.
