Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Let off for Liverpool.

Would say Arsenal deserve a five point lead given how they've played. Spurs shouldn't be anywhere near the top four.

A team that has conceded just one goal away from home should definitely be near the top four. Any team would be perfectly happy with a 0-0 at Goodison.

I haven't been able to watch the match but looking at the BBC site it seems we had the better of it. I'm pleased with the point and another clean sheet, after the shitshow in this game last season I'll take that all day long.

You were the much better team in the first half, but were really poor second half. Soldado was shite, Vertonghan was good.

Usho you were pretty dire. Nothing in the final third. Soldado toothless. No creativity.

Decent point, but its like being happy with England after that 0-0 against Ukraine.

Sounds fine to me. These are the sort of games you can't afford to lose, we've drawn against Chelsea and Everton whereas last season we lost both, we are becoming very hard to beat.

I'm sure we were boring but it's hard to win at Goodison, I believe they've not lost there this calendar year. Hopefully Eriksen and Lamela will start getting stuck in soon.

It can get nasty. Very nasty. Not just on the pitch but also off it. We all remember "the battle for Ninian park" game which ended up in both sets of fans ripping chairs off and hurling them at each other. The 2008 match included the ref being hit with a coin from the cardiff fans etc. Wonder if there will be any Swansea fans wearing their "Swim away" T-shirts.
Anyway, fans in these matches are "Bubbled" to the stadium. That means they are loaded onto buses and given a Police escort to the stadium where they are brought in while covered with a metal barricade. They are then escorted home by the police.
Yes it is that bad between us.

Shocked by how bad that Everton game was.

Spurs just didn't have any sort of outlet in the final third and Everton were incredibly sloppy. Every second touch seemed to be a scramble to regain possession and they were so wasteful with their passing.

Cardiff vs Swansea should be more interesting. Cardiff's shirt situation is repulsive, though.

Medel can do the Suarez thing pretty well. Fall down, put your hand up as if to stop play and call the medical staff, then get up and walk around like nothing's happened.

Hmm... I was fearing the worse, but meh. I'll take it. Time to get 'Arry on the pitch. He can't do any worse...

10 games
9 goals of which 3 were penalties
3 goalless games

i'm sure they're "only just starting to gel," but these are disgraceful statistics.
Give us Ramsey and you can have the entire team. At least he has one more goal than them. :-/

Lambda. I beg of you. Please. Cardozo.

Where's that chart again? *sigh*
 
Lloris was pretty admanant, but I agree, should have been safer for him to be off.

Yup, imagine if Everton had challenged him and he'd have hit his head again or something.
My Dad (Spurs fan) was furious with AVB, who didn't seem to have a clue what he was doing. Medical staff said he should go off, all the other Spurs players were trying to get him to go off.
He was at Chelsea when Cech and Cudicini got injured against Reading in the same match, should have grown a pair and just hooked him off regardless of what he wanted. Not worth the risk.

2nd to 7th in the Premier League all seperated by 1 point, it's crazy how tight this season is.

Could end up working out in Arsenal's favour whilst those six battle it out they slowly creep ahead. I'm not sure Arsenal have the squad to keep up their form for the whole season though.

Definitely, I'm sure he's getting checked out now, but AVB should have waved him off. Head injuries are no joke.
 
Will get a taste of the London ladies, then it's over.

Doesn't he live in West London? He and his best mate AS14 (Schurrle) will go out with the lads, JT, Cole, Hazard, perhaps Ballack will come back. Im sure Mourinho will hook everyone up.

I give it 20 minutes before they're all arrested.

Moyes sees Adnan's future as a number 10. Bye bye Rooney. Lol Kagawa.

For United’s reserves and youth sides, Januzaj excelled in several positions, including striker and central midfield, and Moyes has introduced him to the Premier League in a wide attacking role. But it is operating behind a No 9 — not as a “second striker” in the mould of United’s current No 10, Wayne Rooney, but more as a playmaker — that Moyes suspects Januzaj will one day bloom.

One reason United did not bid for Mesut Ozil was a feeling they were well-stocked in the No 10 position. “In time, Januzaj’s best position will be No 10, but while he’s so young it’s better to introduce him on the left or right, although he’s a terrific centre-forward as well and can play in several positions,” said Moyes.

Diego Costa is such a fearsome player in front of goal. I see him having many prosperous years in Arsenal in the near future.

Once he starts for Spain, enamours himself to the Barca contingent in the squad, he's going to Camp Nou.

There's no room for him. The spotlight is on Messi and is slowly shifting towards Neymar. If he wants to commit career suicide he can go there. Imagine Costa in an Arsenal shirt...omg so good.

Seriously I hope he stays in Atletico. I would love to see Atletico strong every season.

He, Costa, definitely has the attitude to be a Barca player.
The truth of the week.
