    Celtic had chances at 0-0.

    Realistically, both Celtic and Rangers are out of their respective depths.

    Leicester lost to Legia Warsaw which is a brand of beer, not even a club.

    I love Leicester, as a supporter of a small club what they've done over the past 5 years gives fans like myself some hope that the stars could align for us, it's no longer an impossible pipe dream. Saying that, they've been really poor so far, I have a feeling they're going to be one of those clubs that has a couple of good seasons, followed by a shocker, then a couple more good seasons etc until the scouting system loses its touch. Have a feeling this might be one of the bad seasons.

    They got rid of Gray. That's madness. Vardy is 33. They're talking about how "once Johnny Evans comes back..."... Is he even top 4 material these days?

    I never rated Evans, even in his "prime" but he was very good for them last season. It did seem like Rodgers could get seemingly average players to fit into his system and maybe perform above their usual level. Doesn't seem to be working at the moment though. I still think Vardy is quality but he is one of those guys who goes through insane purple patches followed by prolonged goal droughts. You never know what you're gonna get but you have to play him. No point keeping him on the bench, even if he's not scoring he's still going to be a nuisance to defenders and bring other people into play.

    In aggregate the two teams qualified out europa league groups 5 of last 6 attempts but both teams are definitely declined vs two years back. Rangers, like Celtic last year are now shite because things have gone visibly wrong. In Celtics case some sort of dressing room disaster, their case pivotal players aging. Celtic this year are still shite because things are going right but not fast enough. Time & transfer windows

    Aye, frustrating. Turnbull & Rogic both have some modest talent as creative 'number 10s', passable squad players, but they're both being asked to do a more involved number 8 sort-of- thing & neither can win a challenge to save their life & both lack both pace & engine. Compounded by them both being visibly exhausted from playing every minute for months because we have *literally* no cover for either. As in itd be guys out of position or debutants from youth system. Basically centre mid is a big black hole in the middle of the team and there's no hope of that improving until jan

    LMAO @ the guy whose spending spree left Everton in FFP hell & with dead weight for years and the cunt who made us as boring as watching paint dry then left us.

    Ronald Kuntman & Carlo Arsholotti, Cheers!

    Found this in the Thames mud outside the Ship 20 minutes ago. Found 4 balls tonight, found 5 in fact but the 5th was crushed and sodden and didn't make the cut. We'd have found more but for the fading light.

    They're not as good as advertised. We deserved a draw at the very least against them. They're good at keeping the points ticking over though, which is what you need to be doing at this stage of the Championship.

    Yes, that Bournemouth, managed by this guy....

    Can't see Everton as serious title contenders but an outside chance at the top four maybe.

    United are a very average side, the question is how many more points are Ronaldo's goals worth to them over the course of the season? And is it going to be enough to put them in serious title contention?

    Well it didn't today, and it didn't last week, and if Tom Davies backed himself ....United would be 0/2 against Villa and Everton.


    Ronaldo was brought in to assuage the mob, not because they truly believed he was the missing piece.

    Well there's definitely an element of that for sure, but he's still one of the best players in the world and is going to bag you a ton of goals, as he's already proving. The problem is Solkjaer is a shite manager and their build up is frustratingly slow.

    Lol.

    I remember Koeman almost got Valencia regulated back in 2007. He’s a trash manager and strategist.

    They can't afford (literally) to sack him though from what I understand?
