Origi looked quite good at the WC. Seems a bit harsh that people were writing him off. Clearly got bags of potential and if he gets game time and some confidence, I reckon he'll be a terrific player for someone.

Certainly Liverpool once they ditch Sturridge could do a lot worse.

Keep calm and support Watford.

That is all.

The league is drunk. No one is going to win it.

If City end up losing then they're only 3 points behind after they beat Newcastle. Madness.

I for one would love them to be involved, then disintegrate before our eyes....Again.

It's getting more apparent United are going to stroll it haha.

Fear not, we'd have walked it with our first XI or a ref that knows the rules.

we had several good chances, just need to start converting them. worried about the number of injuries we seem to be picking up - not just in games but in training as well.

glad he dropped Jenkinson, really thought he has been piss poor apart from a couple of games for us this season.

Oddly chuffed Vardy couldn't equal the actual goal scoring record. He can keep his made up Sky Sports one.

When you're without Sahko, Valencia, Payet, and Lanzini you're bound to not score as often as before. 

Agree re Jenkinson - worrying we haven't an alternative right back though Tomkins has done well as a makeshift on occasion this season. 

It's unfortunate the injuries are racking up (that's Moses to add to list today) but at least Song is back - just lacking some match fitness. Antonio finally getting his chance and thought he did OK from what I saw on stream.

I think Tomkins is almost a better RB than CB at the moment, not making mistakes from there - plus Ogbonna was playing well before he got injured so am glad he's got back in the team. 

also finally we kept a clean sheet, only took 9 or so games.

glad Antonio looks promising, hopefully that will be useful in the next few weeks to months until the injuries are dealt with.

...and they have every reason to be. They look like a completely different side under Klopp but it'd be interesting to see how they'll handle a run of losses if that time comes. You look at Manchester City's side and think they should be strolling this, but there seems to be a lot of disinterested players within their camp. A change in manager would be a good move for them.

Unlikely

[The Placid Casual]

Is that it for Mourinho now? Incredible win for Bournemouth but I'm not sure how long Chelsea can continue the way they are. Even a Europa League place will be a massive struggle now.

I'm trying hard not to laugh. 

Means the fat bung taking hoof ball merchant is back in the bottom 3 too

Shite league.

They certainly looked they was strolling the league today at times

Yeah was glad to see him get some proper game time, seeing him today though does make me wonder why we haven't even given him the odd 10 minutes before though as he fitted in just fine. (I suppose scoring wasn't really a problem for a while though so didn't make sense to change)

His a decent option at RB until the end of the season I think and then hopefully we can find a proper RB to come in, makes you glad we didn't end up spunking  £8m on Jenko in the summer though!

It's all bollocks.

Its a poor league, but from a neutral point of view its great to see things so tight as we approach half way.

City really frustrate me, they don't have the flaws of some of their opponents, but they always seem such a half hearted team.  Looking at recent benches, I also think the quality of their squad has regressed in recent years.

I get the feeling that if Arsenal don't win it this year, they never will under Wenger.  I would love it if either them or Liverpool could win the thing to shake things up.  Please no Man Utd championship, they remind me of George Grahams Arsenal!

[Wooderson]

Utd are in the driving seat. LVG has a huge chance.

The craic with Chelsea is top entertainment. Loathsome football club.
