The league is ridiculously competitive at the top this season, we wil have to keep on winning really.
It's no surprise when you look at the managers. Everyone said it at the start of the season.

Conte, Guardiola, Mourinho, Klopp, Poch and Wenger is a formidable lineup.


I'm interested to see if all 6 are in charge this time next year.

Watford fans are totally silent. Early kick off on New Years day and they're getting pumped before half-time so it's totally understandable but I can hear pretty every word the players are saying to each other!
Happens at most grounds unfortunately. Embarrassing at Anfield to at times. Generation snowflake.

Bloody hell, I wouldn't mind them winning by a goal or two but Watford have completely thrown in the towel. That goal difference gap isn't closing any time soon!

Prem's top six now 9 points clear of everton in 7th. So two teams are going to be very pissed off that that will be playing in the Europa. Assuming a top four team wins a cup.

What a contrast to last season when so-called big clubs where pretty shite. All these teams seem relentless this season.

Yeah, it really was something similar to this. They dropped off heavily then the manager got sacked, and Ighalo went on a huge drought and only scored twice in 2016. :D

Watford have been hit by injuries, but that doesn't excuse that level of performance, have they even had a shot? 7 of the starting XI today for Watford started in the 3-1 win against us

If Arsenal or Citeh win the CL .....:lol:.... does that mean the 5th place team qualifies for CL?
No. 5 teams from one league can qualify if the 5th is the EL winner and they finished outside of the top 4.

Son is a pretty unique player. One minute he's like Ronaldo dribbling past players at speed, the next he's chasing his first touch à la Obertan.

I thought that was Gala. I guess Fener too
We're the club that is defined as the one that represents the Republic. It's only natural that all the little Turks and their conservative values hate a club that embodies progressive ones. Gala just live off one UEFA Cup.

I hate teams like Watford. Teams that simply lie down and roll over for our rivals but put on the performance of the century against us. Teams like Everton and West Ham and Stoke as well.

0-4 now, fecking pathetic excuse of a club.

Kane and Alli rampant, on how many goals are they compared to Zlatan and Pogba?
