Sturridge has gone to West Brom on loan. Surprising one, but he should do well.
Swansea 1-0 up v Liverpool, about 25 mins left. Surely they can't beat City one week and lose to Swansea the next....
Big game for us at home to Shrewsbury tomorrow (that's something I never thought I'd write). Win and we're 2 points behind them in 2nd. Lose and it's 8
Van Dijk with the winner tonight, dream debut. Decent game. Great finish by Sigurdsson.
Last minute missed penalty for Palace v City earlier! Haven't seen it but it sounded very soft and then a poor penalty.
The Newcastle-Brighton game sounded horrific, according to the reporter who was there for 5 Live.
Utd 0-0 Southampton FT. Chelsea 2nd now.
£75m. Frightening.
Plenty of money for Southampton there but they look dire under Pellegrino so they'll have to spend it well to look a decent team all of a sudden.
I see poor old Mr Mourinho says he wants more money to spend......
Mental game.
Great for the neutral - but you can see why both sides will be battling for top 4 rather than being any higher.
Yeah that should have been given today.
4-1 for City in the end.
I'll always be a big Hughes fan after his superb work for Rovers, but it'd best for him and Stoke to part ways now. Only going one way.
Predictions: Juve, City, Liverpool, Utd, Madrid, Roma (hopefully, but will be tough), Barca and Bayern to go through.
Pretty much all the favourites then, though there's bound to be one or two upsets. Madrid v PSG was an extremel tough one but if Ma...
It might have been a soft penalty but it was stupid of Lovren to raise his hands and give the ref a decision to make. There was very little danger, DCL was completely on his own.
2-1 win for City and just like most seasons recently, the title 'race&...
Benteke taking the penalty off Milivojević in the last minute. Crazy.
Aye, he's been absolutely quality. Knew he'd do well but didn't expect him to do this well especially in terms of goalscoring.
West Ham look an absolute mess.
If it was at the weekend I might have been tempted, but not a Tuesday night in November!
Beat Bristol Rovers 2-1 yesterday but we weren't great. 3 wins from 3 though and will hopefully make it 4 in a row on Tuesday.
Southampton 1-0 up v Everton.
Southampton are pretty dire, so Everton must be really bad.
I agree it's harsh. Not a penalty but not a proper dive.
Will be interesting to see who else they punish soon...
Pulis had to go, 2 wins in 20+ games was it....terrible. He might never have been relegated from the Premier League yet but that's where West Brom were heading under him.
Went to Bury yesterday, 3-0 win. Don't think we actually played that well but nice to win convincingly.
Bury were pretty poor if I'm honest.....hope you can turn it round, gfnx25!
It's frightening how Ventura was ever appointed, and this was always on the cards when it became clear just how out of his depth he was.
As you say, Insigne - the most creative player, the most likely one to maybe produce a moment of magic to get th...
Thought Evans' header was going in too.
Even though Switzerland missed a fair few chances tonight which would have made it more comfortable, it's a shame the only goal of the two legs was as a result of the awful penalty decision.
You won't go down I don't think (despite the two very poor results this week), but your squad seems to be seriously short on quality. For example I don't think anyone is going to get 10+ league goals for you.
Odd for him to say that in the first place, Spanish clubs winning basically every European trophy for the last few years is more than enough proof of how strong their top teams are.
Madrid seem awful at the moment though.
Burnley have just taken the lead in a turgid game.
An appointment such as Phil Neville or Giggs would almost certainly be a disaster, in fact it's embarrassing they've even thrown their hats into the ring.
Big Sam would get them sorted out but is probably quite happy in his supposed retiremen...
Burnley might be higher in the table now, but there's much more potential at Everton than Burnley. He'd have to be tempted if Everton or Leicester approached him.
Great effort from Huddersfield. Whatever happens this season, they'll always have this day to remember.
Brighton 1 up at West Ham.
What an upbringing that kid must have, doesn't stand a chance.
Think the 'fan' has been banned for life which is good to see.
Agreed, they've all finished 2nd in their group, just leave it open and see what happens.
That's the thing. Ashley is rightly hated, but some god awful owners have somehow found their way into English football in recent years and completely ruined clubs.
If you get good, sensible new owners with a bit of money, and keep Rafa, you'...
Newcastle up for sale.
Had a feeling Palace would score today but didn't expect them to be ahead at the break..
Dunno how I didn't think of that haha, yeah that's probably it!
I thought they were both unseeded? With Denmark seeded. Not sure how they split them all though.
As soon as Ireland scored, it was game over.....they could do that backs to the wall defending all night.
They're poor yep and playing pretty dour football, which is unacceptable after spending £140m (regardless of the money they got for Lukaku).
Spurs could win this game by whatever score they want.
Go on Niasse.
Bowyer could never get us above 8th/9th place in the Championship despite having a very good squad for the division, I was surprised he took you up and even more surprised at how well you've started, fair play to him indeed.
We're pish. AFC Wimbledon at home? We continue to plumb new depths.
What a list that is, some heavyweight Susie names from years ago.
Times change, but I'm still glad we've got enough members and enough going on to keep the forums going.
Bang on, they should go too, what a mess they are.
Yeah, they should have got something out of the game today, Dann's header towards the end was an absolute sitter as well. Sacking him after 4 games would be mad enough, even madder after a decent performance today.
Good result for Newcastle.
Caught the last half hour or so of Ireland v Serbia.
I like Ireland but they really do struggle going forward - lots of effort and endeavour but devoid of quality.
Poor start for Roma yesterday. Didn't manage to see any of it but, despite hitting the post 3 times, I don't think the collapse from the 70th minute onwards would have happened in previous seasons.....hopefully just a blip as I want Di Francesco...
How's your defence gonna line up do you think? Surely Sanchez will be a starter having cost so much, but Aldeweireld and Vertonghen are established.....3 CBs?
Oh Arsenal. Some things never change.
Spurs need to get things sorted at Wembley......Kane's August record is also an odd one considering how prolific he is in almost every other month. Of course I've had him as my fantasy captain every week so...
Sigurdsson is a very good player. But yeah the fee is insane, although that could be said for so many transfers now.
How bad was Kramaric's penalty? Only hit it like that if you've seen the keeper dive early.
I swear Giroud scores almost every time he plays, should probably get more credit. Thought Leicester were gonna get at least a draw but they just got deeper and deeper...
