One of the Fulham lads (Burn?) reckoned it was like playing back in the Conference. He'd have probably been better keeping that particular thought to himself though.
Yeah, they'll probably replace him with Gotze. Oh joy.
West Ham have the second best goal difference in the bottom half which is worth a point and the back four along with Adrian are just so good at the moment. Feeling a lot more confident that we should avoid the drop now. Famous last words though.....
Hard to disagree with you there. For all the criticism leveled at Big Sam, he is effective at setting a team up and making them hard to break down as having the most number of clean sheets in the league shows.
See this is the thing that virtually none of the "experts" have taken into account - bar the opening day disaster and a defeat at Old Trafford, Arsenal have been excellent against the dross of the league. Whereas both City and Chelsea have constantly thrown away points against teams they really ought to be beating.
Not sure if this would add up given your fixture list. You'd at least have to win games like tonight and Spurs+Everton away. Games where you're favourites but not odds-on.
Well normally Chelsea dropping points is a good thing obviously but we're not going to win the league and as for who does win it, it's anyone but Liverpool (and preferably not City either but I'd rather them than Liverpool). So I'm in the position of being annoyed at Chelsea dropping points to West Brom for the first time ever.
They've stopped doing it as much as early doors though. That and Arsenal not playing as well as they were September/October time is what worries me.
Just in from work, please tell me we've picked Rosický.
