Somehow got 2 bonus points on FPL. Those 4 kicks in a row in the second half, fuck me. One was a goal kick which he took all day over as usual and it got about a foot off the ground.

Chronicle seems to think both Colo and Taylor are back for QPR

Home to WBA and Spurs, away to us and the mackems. Not the hardest run.

you could base it on the general incompetence of the rest of the league Not really, sorry - that doesn't answer my question at all. An English team has only gone unbeaten once in a 20+ team size league in over a hundred years, why did we start talking about this in October? It's insufferable already and there might be 6 months of it left yet. They've been away to Man City, Man Utd, Everton and Liverpool. Given Mourinho has lost something like 1 home game, we're relying on Arsenal at the Emirates and not an awful lot else I'll be really surprised if they go unbeaten all season, it's almost impossible to not take your eye off the ball at least once or twice over the course of a season. Definitely, just saying looking at it logically you can see why it has been raised.

Hmm, obviously there's the Spurs one but what was the other one? I was wrong, only the FF site seems to give him 2, so it must be a "fantasy football" assist. Corner for Aarons header against Palace

Sounds like the Spurs fans have turned

Kane looks decent, but not brilliant, everytime I see Spurs. Soldado looks shite. Weird that he's pairing Soldado and Adebayor here

Only way this would be of any use is to cover Abeid/Tiote if they both go to the ACON. Assume Pardew has given up on Anita now.

Cisse is out according to Pardew.

Europa league game is away at Besiktas, then away to Swansea

Gouffran left wing + 10 others. Loss.

Excellent prep. They was tired.

Think this will be the Wednesday due to Spurs Europa League/Sunday Prem game combo the weekend before.

Fucking hell, what a night. Everybody in black and white pretty much to a man was outstanding. Inexplicable.

They were all on together against Palace and the crowd got over excited according to dickhead, so it'll never happen again

The more I think about it, why should Pardew get any credit for today? He told us playing in the Europa League was akin to having a leg cut off, so we should have won easily

Exactly, it's the wrong manager and probably the wrong club for him being here. He looked great last season when alongside Tiote and Cabaye. But he's not going to win games with a piece of "magic" so he's immediately useless to the king. He looked great? You must have low standards. Maybe great is pushing it but he was getting a lot of praise for his neat and tidy work

Really? I think it's the first time I can remember us kicking off and not just booting it into the stand

Mourinho never even seems to contemplate Ivanovic at centre half, sure Benitez had him there ahead of Terry. Mad old days.

Agreed though, sammy had their RB on toast. Was it dier? stream had no commentary and was in the pub watching It was Dier, it's a classic case of a centre half being shunted to right back and doing ok for a few games so he keeps his spot. In reality, he's a centre half at right back so it was only a matter of time before he was found out. I think Naughton and Walker are both injured though so they may not have had much choice

Zabaleta has noticeably declined in 2014, for whatever reason. He's only 29, thought he may have been a couple of years older than that. Maybe it's just a bad run of form

Be surprised if he doesn't get a new deal now. He's young and English and has proven a couple of times now he can be useful, Ashley's eyes will probably already see the pound signs.

Perez off Haidara on
