Liverpool A West Ham A Villa H He fucks those 3 up and he's got to be fucked and rightly so. They'll be out of all European competitions and 1 domestic Cup as well as probably into mid-table by Xmas despite all of the cash spent

To finish rock bottom of this group has got to be seen as a complete failure, surely? Winning only 1/6 against the likes of Copenhagen and Gala? Really? Pigshit

Ooooof, pick that fucker out

Dubravka has gone from 'experienced' to 'old' within a fortnight tbh. He's looked really poor against Everton and Spurs, he wasn't alone but if he's carrying any kind of knock then Karius has to be the better option until January

Shaw's off with a hammy and Slabhead's done his groin. #barebones

Bayern have several more gears in hand here, they're in control mode, auto-pilot stuff. Just ticking over without throwing too much into it, they're a class above

Nasty little cunt Garnacho like. Knew exactly what he was doing there

A place in the shop window, nothing more. He does even remotely well then he can fuck them off immediately for a bigger and better job without upsetting a big team in the process

This is 100% true. I've queried one shirt and the response was one of the best and most informative emails I've ever received

@lovejoy is legit

You know what Chelsea need? Another 5 players costing another £200m. That'll fix it What they actually need is to chill the fuck out, allow football people to make key decisions on personnel and give a proven manager time to gel things together to get results. What's happening is like a toddler who's getting increasingly more distressed as they can't roll a double 6 in a game of monopoly. Just fucking buying everything on sale without any plan of what to do or strategy. Just rolling the dice constantly and being upset with every single thing. They're irritated, emotional and immature toddlers because they've bought everything and still aren't winning. They're fucking shit tbph

1-0 Wilson Qualify in 2nd place, fuck it, why not?

Was a single Fulham corner away from landing an 11 leg 127/1 bet this afternoon. Beyond miffed like Fuckers scored 5, had 3 corners by HT and didn't get a single one in the second half the utter cretins

It's been a sobering few days for everyone definitely, it's also given an opportunity for the utter arseholes to start pointing their fingers and throwing their toys about too. The levels of entitlement from, a thankfully small, minority have well and truly been triggered. They've taken less than 2 years to get used to winning regularly and making fantastic progress on and off the field and the first pocket of genuine poor form and they're losing their shit. Honestly thought that given what we achieved last season that Howe was bullet-proof this season regardless of what happens but I've read over the last few days is remarkable. I'm not saying that questions shouldn't be asked and he's beyond any/all criticism but the context of what's happening off the park is just being ignored by some. He's not perfect and I've not always agreed with everything he's done but he's so far away from any fan-pressure it's untrue in my eyes. He will turn it around and we will pick up points in the next few weeks. Form comes and goes and one thing we saw time and time again is that a bad run of form is normally followed by a consistent flow of goals and wins, it'll happen again, chin up folks

Poor performance and no complaints about the result, it could have been even worse in hindsight. Not going to pile in on them too much but that first half was pathetic even allowing for the tiredness. Some of the 'football' we played at times was shocking. Really struggled with the basics of controlling and passing the fucking thing. Spurs pressed well and knocked it around well but that first half was as poor and passive as we've been for months. It will get better as we get more bodies back but I'm not sure what we'll still have left to play for other than the league by the end of January. It was always going to be a roller-coaster of a season and this is one of the dips. Need to look ahead and think about how huge the Milan game is for us now. No point dwelling on this or feeling sorry for ourselves, these games are the reward for their performances last season.

Not sure what to for the next hour, watch the second half or take a razor-blade to my genitals? Tough choice

Can't argue with this, scoreline is about right. We've just not been good enough again, back to back away games at Everton and spurs is a tough ask but we've barely laid a glove on either team tbh. Disappointing to say the least

Hanging on here, need to just kill it for 5 mins but can't even keep the ball

Taking 6/6 out of City and Arsenal rubberstamps them as being in the title race, let alone the race for CL. They're having an amazing season and deserve all the credit they're getting, not sure how deep they'll go but they're beating everyone at home and sturdy as fuck on the road. They're the real deal imo.

He's fighting Tyson with one arm tied behind his back atm. We've literally got about 14 fit, senior players, what the fuck's he supposed to do? Any criticism of Howe is bang out of order at the minute. Yes he could have saved a few from running for an extra 9 minutes tonight or whatever but the big picture is looking good. We will get players back in time. We will be able to rotate, we will be able to change games from the bench but right now his hands and tied and his fingers superglued. Criticism of the boss is heresy at this moment in time, ffs

Impossible to keep pulling rabbits out of the same hat again and again with the same Xi. I know we've got no options and that's the point, they're bound to be fucked and it's bound to have an impact on performances and results. Any Newcastle fan having a pop at the team tonight needs a fucking word. I know there were individual mistakes but that's a really, really fucking tired team out there who are trying their best. We got dicked tonight, 3-0 looks like a battering but it was 0-0 for about 80 minutes, they had more in the tank. We lost but it wasn't because of a lack of effort, it's just football sometimes. Let's see what happens in the return fixture.

It happens. The good far outweighs the bad, he's not a robot and he's going to make mistakes

For all Everton are a tough nut to crack at home under the lights etc, they're a fucking awful football team. Pump it long, and see what happens - tough and hard into the challenge but there's not much quality there at all. Basically an A* Burnley. Turbo-Bolton. Whatever you want to call it. They'll get results but it's wank to watch

Dunno like, heard his lass is game as fuck

I think that's a bit too dramatic tbh They'd certainly miss him hugely but I can't see it being that bad, they'd just play another striker
