    Is Ashley Young dead? After having a breakout season last year I haven't seen him play at all.

    If God is real, then Chelsea will be playing in the Champions League and Championship next season. Everton had a chance last season but failed on both fronts. The sheer number of games they'd have to play and what kind of team would still be there is fascinating to think about.

    Apparently Young is on LvG's shit list. No idea why but I don't know why LvG does anything anymore.

    Why didn't he try moving to a club like Leverkussen three years ago? And if you're going to go out on loan to get more playing time, don't go to fucking Real Madrid.

    Giggs should know pretty much everything not to do as a coach when his turn comes up.

    LvG is such an arrogant shithead. Can't wait to hear what he says after this match.

    Well he certainly can't use his usual "they packed 10 men in behind the ball" excuse considering Bournemouth were on the attack for 80% of the game.

    Why bring on that oaf at the end instead of Young (or anyone else)? No need to go like for like at the back when you're trailing in stoppage time. Don't get it.

    I bet he has some amazing stories that he can't yet tell about how insane LvG must be. The fact that he has only worked for three club managers his adult life and how different they are is astounding.

    It breaks my heart that there were certainly some lifelong Bournemouth fans that recently died that didn't get the chance to see the last few weeks they've had.

    Just 7 starts. He fucking hated the whole supersub idea. Everyone wanted him to be Solksjær and he wanted to be Ruud van Nistelroy.

    Yaya had about a 1 in 1000 chance of scoring from his left foot there and got the perfect deflection.

    Watford are quietly having an excellent season. Leicester being first and Bournemouth beating Chelsea and United are taking some of the spotlight off of them. I knew they were picking up results but 7th in the league with 25 points is damn impressive at this stage. Huerelho Gomes is even playing solidly in goal. I would be surprised if there isn't some serious interest in Ighalo from "bigger" clubs in January.

    Its very impressive, indeed. They've been on a tear after that 3-0 loss to Arsenal.

    It amazes me that a top flight team is still fielding Alan Hutton. Guess that explains why they will no longer be a top flight team next term.

    He'd step right into the "players who look like they would stab you" starting 11. With Vardy up top that team could do some damage on and off the pitch.

    I remember being upset when Villa won their opening game against Bournemouth. 15 games later and it's their only win.

    How does everyone see the top 4 this season?

    Manchester city
    Arsenal
    Tottenham
    Leicester city

    That is my predicted top 4 as of now. Chelsea are too far back and are out. United and Liverpool just aren't clicking like Tottenham and Leicester are.

    With Hannukah being over tonight, I'd expect things to improve with the team. I think Spurs Manura will still be burning after this period of suffering.

    Biggest difference is the media love to take down a giant. Media is all in on anti-LVG and I think it causes United to continue to struggle. Tottenham don't have to deal with that level of scrutiny. Especially with every story not involving LVG and United being written about the struggles of Chelsea. I think this is the year Tottenham get back in the champions league but I can definitely be wrong

    if you were going to be in London for the the 21st match of Arsenal v. Man City, what would be the best way to try to nab some tickets? None of the ticket sites are showing any available. Surely they aren't just all gone, there's always a secondary market it seems.
