I don't think that's holds true anymore. The PL is far more competitive than it used to be. If a team is going for the Championship then I agree they have to beat, or at least not lose to the other challengers, but as Chelsea found out last season, it's just as important to not drop points against the so called lesser teams...

On that subject it seems the team who does better against the top teams wins the league. Chelsea were an exception.

United did well away from home last season if you look at the stats. So apart from an awful home record their season might have ended quite differently.

What I like is that he's not throwing them all straight in. Last night's starting line up didn't look too unfamiliar. We were arguably the better side for the first half but made a couple of big errors which get punished by teams as good as City


And I have no bloody idea how Ague was allowed to score with his first touch about 25 seconds after coming on. Thought I was watching a replay or something.

From what I've seen of the 2 supposed main contenders for the title, the chavs and City, I'd say City look far superior. CSKA Fulham weren't convincing in their two gams against newly promoted sides, and while you could argue that City didn't overpower Newcastle and Liverpool, what they did do was take their chances with ruthless efficiency. For me, that is what will win the title.

Agreed

Lampard has confirmed retirement from international football. Saw this comment on the BBC site which really made me laugh. If he really said that, I like him a bit more.


"Good effort Frank! met him the other day shortly after he arrived at City and says he's settled in well, adding: "I recognise many of the fans from when they supported Chelsea"

And most likely Yanited before that, and Liverpool in the 70's and 80's.

Funny thing you mentioning old shirts, do you ever see anyone wearing a Chav shirt that pre dates 2003? Nah, me neither.

Out of the blue I know, but I feel really sorry for Sevilla. They always seem to get a decent team and then have to sell their best players. If they want fair play in Spain they should divide the TV money like they do here. It's virtually a two team league each season, apart from the last one.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
