3rd choice aint he?

Welbeck has stolen Soldados finishing ability. Some space jam shit going on.

Today, conceded the least goals up until second half

bizarre, but there are a lot of awful teams in the division this year so maybe not that surprising.

Looks like Southampton's high energy, pressing game is catching up with them.

Wanyama injury showing also

3rd choice in fairness.

Southampton all over the place.

Great game in fairness.

What's the deal with Lamela? Don't watch much Italian football so haven't seen him play for Roma, he's looked an utter @#%&! for Spurs so far.

people would be screaming from the rooftops about what a weak league it is if we were top.

the general sickness and hatred we've fostered in the heads of the general footballing public in britain is magical.

we are 100% not finishing top4 are we.

Greatest game of football in modern history.

Looked a possible superstar for Roma last year, shades of a young Ronnie in his play running at defenders & trickery - looks very much to me like he doesn't like the physicality of the league here. No idea if he spoke English either, but if they get him in the gym & he wants to mix it there's a seriously good footballer there.

Could mince off back to Italy though, I guess that's the gamble.

95% top 5 if we're lucky

yep. instead it's "the best it's been in years" with a decent manager and somebody other than the equaliser in charge we'd be pissing this league.

thats a good thing, no?

absolutely no way the coach could stay and there would be the changes overall that have been needed for about 4 or 5 years.

id absolutely welcome it, the rest of the league is a joke right now, so there are no worries about not getting back in.
