I did say on the whole, his many years at Bolton and Rovers rather than 6 months with you.

Anyway, going for wins for both City and United today, as poor as they are away City are ruthless at home plus Spurs aren't great at all.

Milan are so poor, baffles me how Allegri is still in a job - unless Galliani and Berlusconi are happy to accept mediocrity. Balotelli missed another penalty.

Napoli have gone off a bit too lately.

Allardyce has been shocking this year.

They've been pretty dire so far this season, yeah, but I'd say Big Sam's impressive record on the whole over the last 12 years, rather than the last 12 games, should mean his job is under no immediate threat.

Well we should have won today Reading are not a very good side 1st half we dominated it but couldn't find a goal Alex McCarthy made a couple of good saves and Dunn hit the post the 2nd half was alot more even but still no goals Gorkes headed over from about 4 yards for them and they should have had a pen when Hanley went right through Gunter in the box but somehow the ref Gunter for diving and we got away with it even all the rovers fan were laughing and Bowyer admitted it after the game that it was a pen a points a point but we should have had all 3.

In isolation, it's not a bad result; they only got relegated last season, they've got a manager who's been promoted from this league before etc etc, but it still highlighted a few problem areas for us I think - if Rhodes doesn't win a game for us then nobody will (this may change with Dunn and Rochina fit again), we've struggled to score lately in general tbh. In fact, since I moved away I've missed 4 home games but we've only scored one goal in them haha, and that was from a Tommy Spurr long throw (Rhodes v Watford.....I was back for Boro).

Heard about their stonewall penalty too, good job the ref made a mistake.

Beast that lad.

Joe Allen's chance when it was 2-1 though.....still can't get over that. But regardless of that, Liverpool shouldn't be going ahead twice in a game and end up losing. (if they want to aim higher than a top 4 place)

I much prefer Messi but Ronaldo has to win it this year.

Agreed, let Ronaldo have this Ballon D'Or if it helps people sleep at night the way they're going on about it, but Messi's still superior.

Bollocks, last minute Sassuolo equaliser. Even though it's Juve-Napoli tonight so one or maybe both will drop points, still incredibly deflating, that.

Jesus, if Spurs don't score here they've only scored 9 goals in 11 games (3? of which have been penalties). That's not acceptable given the amount of money they've spent.

Chances of Spurs scoring twice? fairly slim i'm guessing.

Unless Soldado slots a couple of penalties away.

Friedel starting today for Spurs, didn't know he was 42, I'd have guessed either 39 or 40. Legend.

Result and a half for Arsenal, that. Before tonight I'd have had Dortmund as the one team from that group which would definitely qualify - not so sure now, the last two rounds of games will be very interesting.

Poor from the ref a few mins ago, when Suarez was fouled then took the quick free kick but he pulled it back. Could have booked Sagna after the free kick.
