Stats can often be misleading, but 11 goalless first halves on the bounce is more than a coincidence.

Only one shot on target in the last two matches. Scary.

The highest possession stat of 61%, yet equal 19th for shots on target. It ain't working Louis.

Now that the OT crowd have finally turned on LVG it's only a matter of time...

I don't just mean in the game yesterday, I mean every single time they score a goal in every single game. He's a grown man FFS. I think he should show a bit more decorum and respect for the opposition. I bet you didn't like it when Maureen did it when he was at Porto and celebrated wildly at Old Trafford.

I'm not saying don't celebrate but screaming like a mad thing, running up and down the pitch, leaping up and down and punching the air like you just don't care and getting involved in the players celebrations too is completely over the top.

Really? He's hasn't kicked a ball since May of last year and that was in a lacklustre six minute appearance. It'll take him a long time to get back to match fitness. Massive gamble. He'll do well to earn himself a longer contract and if he does the wage thief will do what he usually does... not much.

Any good ?

Celtic have agreed an 18-month loan deal with Manchester City for teenage star Patrick Roberts.


Sportsmail first revealed Ronny Deila?s interest in the ?12million rated England youth player earlier this month.


And Roberts is expected in Glasgow to watch Sunday?s League Cup semi-final clash with Ross County from the Hampden stands before completing a medical ahead of Monday?s deadline.

I imagine some green eyes from United and Chelsea supporters. Should be interesting to see if he can continue his success in the EPL...


Thing is he's coming to a club who will buy whoever he tells them to, at whatever price, so he's pretty much nailed on for success.

None here. Utd still need overhauling, and to a lesser extent Chelsea too, and I haven't seen any evidence he can do that. Right now I would genuinely take MoPo over Pep because he has rebuilt Spurs and knows the PL inside out, plus he brings through young players which is very much in the Utd tradition.

It's difficult to judge Pep, he inherited arguably the best club side ever at Barca.

At Bayern it's almost a cetainty that they're top dogs domestically. Last season in the CL they were found wanting, so it will be interesting to see how they do this year.

But no matter how good a team is, how easy a league is, or how much money you have to spend, you still have to deliver, and Pep has done so up until now...

I don't agree that he walked into Barcelona and it was a given that he'd succeed, he still had to manage egos and if I remember rightly Messi was having some problems when he took over and he got him back to his best. I think it's the dawn of a new era in English football and the rest of the prem should be nervous.

He had a point , last night the officials didn't cover themselves in glory. Southampton were let off with foul after foul, and one mistimed foul from Coquelin was deemed worthy of a yellow card. Consistency was not exercised by Mason, and Wenger was right to question it. Forster was the best player on the pitch and had a worldy. Season ain't over yet.

      No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.

      You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.
