[Sir Didier Drogba]

I think this could be a defining weekend in this years epl.

If Man City can get another emphatic win against West Ham, despite coming off their first defeat of the season midweek, and against a team who have made away games against superior opposition their speciality, I think we will know they are the real deal and are likely to drop very few points all season.

If arsenal can't beat Chelsea, their position as the only credible rival for City will be almost terminally undermined.

If chelsea win away at arsenal, they're back.

If either arsenal or chelsea win emphatically and city lose, you feel there may be a challenge in the air

If United lose against soton, which they easily might, they're in trouble.

Title race is back on. 11 points lead cut to 8, if city dropped points at home to West Ham they can drop points anywhere.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Hahahahaha... Just checked the outcome of the match, 2-0? Almost.... There goes my blow money. Don't even think I would've settled for anything less so you got lucky. Also you got to enjoy beating them without conceding any goals. Always try to look for the bright side of things.

How much did you lay on that bet anyway? You got my curiosity. Anyway congrats on the win.

Yeah they had a late chance, had it snuck in I would have won. £10 to win £40, or about €55 or half a gram of blow.

- hearing rumours that if Liverpool don't win tomorrow Rodgers might be sacked on Monday

Pfff too bad. Better luck next time! Half a gram of blow wouldn't hurt though. If it's proper stuff.

I hope Liverpool win.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Ole Norwich!!!

Rodgers getting sacks on Monday? Killed by a canary?

 

[kp41]

Kane and Rooney are cursed ...

 

[Mus]

Rooney has played over 500 games, he's cooked

 

[Pogba4Now]

He peaked early so he declines early. Makes sense. The problem is that he is tied to a long, lucrative contract.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Tottenham vs Man city and Leciester vs arsenal are gonna be cracking games this weekend, with both our major rivals having the chance to drop points, whilst we should have no problem continuing the resurgence away at Newcastle. If these things happen, the title race is back open.

Omg what a start

 

[Mandieta6]

The Prem board of directors should embrace the fact that the league is tactically primitive but hugey entertaining by forcing sides to adopt the old W-model formations. 2-3-5 all the way.

 

[Mus]

League-wide ban on fullbacks, unless played as a CB

 

[Mandieta6]

Also, teams can only field a GK if they field 2 of them. You might not get lots of goals but loads of chances.

 

[poet11]

The best player in the PL is Alexis. Absolutely superb.

 

[Xaviesta]

Rodgers sacked. Klopp or Ancelotti probably.

 

[Mandieta6]

I hope Ancelotti. I think he would be the better candidate honestly and that way Klopp doesn't get saddles with a sinking ship.

 

[poet11]

I think Klopp could do well,to be honest.

 

[Mandieta6]

I think he could do well, too, but his tactics are very extreme and I'm not sure the managerial climate in England would give him the time to set it up with a squad that is lacking in quality. Especially mid-season.
