No - we had 18 on this exact date (and time) with a game to play later.... Today we have 21 with a game to play later. I'll bet you we'll end up with more points than last year by May too if you want?

Something tells me I get the feeling that Maureen will be parking a bus at WHL today.

I hope Spurs long mid-week journey doesn't affect them too much.

Think you had 21 from 13 games last season which was followed by 10 out of the next 12.😯

Enjoyed the local Derby today, Villa were much better than I thought, and Dave, Prince William and Nige Kennedy all agreed. Dunno what all this blawing babbles is abart though.

[Alan Medic]

Gary Neville to coach Valencia until the end of the season. Their owner has links with Salford City. Will miss his punditry.

[Otta]

Wonder how his brother who has already been at the club feels about his brother being brought in as his boss.

[red devil]

I thought the BBC had mistakingly put Gary instead of Phil when I first saw their headline. Strange decision. He's an excellent pundit and journalist, but a top flight manager (with no previous experience)? Time will tell...

Bogof.

[Mick Mac]

Liverpool? That is a proper good managerial start.

Tell me about it. Just found what I wrote after Moyes was sacked...

LVG has probably agreed a deal in principle with Spurs that is just waiting to be signed. I'm not sure LVG is the right manager for us though. He's definitely got the experience and stature for the job, but with the expected rebuild I would've thought they would get someone younger. LVG will also be preoccupied with the WC, we need someone to hit the ground running, get players signed before the WC even starts, we can't waste another summer transfer window. Not sure how LVG can commit until after the WC. My vote would go for Klopp...

6 weeks and Liverpool are a completely different team with the same players. Now that's what I call a philosophy...

[Otta]

If Klopp gets Liverpool in to the top 4 this season I think that would be a better acheivement than finishing second with Suarez in the team. Like how he's handling Sturridge (man up!), and very pleased for Origi.

Anybody know a pub locally where you might be able to watch 3pm kicks offs on Saturday? Specifically, Man United v West Ham. East Dulwich, Nunhead, Forest Hill, Sydenham? PM if necessary.

If you did catch it live, I bet you wish you hadn't bothered.

[maxxi]

I listened live and it sounded pretty fine to me. No MOTD though so maybe I missed something?

[????]

Feeling quite good about the 6/1 I got on Arsenal a few weeks into the season

[Alan Medic]

I watched the MOTD highlights today. There could have been quite a few goals though WH could have scored first. LVG is getting a lot of stick. He not endearing as such but he is rebuilding. Our defence shows that and Mike Smalling in particular seems to have benefitted.

I like that LVG gives young players a chance. Perhaps all he needs is a goalscorer and Rooney to remain injured.

[Otta]

Typical Liverpool today, play well, play well, play well... Fuck it up!

[Alan Medic]

I'd have bet on Liverpool winning today. It's just a crazy season. If the EPL isn't careful top 4 will soon become 3 if English clubs don't hack it in Europe.

A goal scorer like chicarito?

[red devil]

Exactly. 13 goals from 18 appearances so far this season.

Or how about recently loaned out James Wilson...

Oh, hang on a minute, he actually wants to run with the ball in a forward, attack minded direction instead of playing it back or sideways...what a loser.

[Parkdrive]

I would have had chicarito at Arsenal in a heartbeat. Not sure what he did to piss United off.

[red devil]

He missed a sitter in the CL qualifier against Bruges, but that was only a brief sub appearance and the game was already won. I think LVG just didn't rate him enough to even warrant a decent run to try and prove himself.

FA Cup 3rd round draw on at 7 tonight...

[DulwichFox]

Ok. not high up in most peoples proprieties ...

..but Millwall in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy 2015/16 season regional final...

Good luck with that Foxy. I reckon since Moonster switched allegiances, she's put a hex on Swansea and Millwall are now flourishing...
