4 years since their last semi-finals appearance, out in round of 16 for 3 years running, and the jammy fuckers somehow make it to top seed. watch them get the easiest group with Olympiacos as per usual today

scared shitless of Benteke for saturday. Villa's counter-attacking game has been very impressive

102. 2nd in the league solid start, now time to sort it out for round two. Paulinho played a lot deeper than expected. Him out, and Nolan in.

Gutted I went with Hazard as captain. Benteke has 3 goals Arsenal A, and Chelsea A....with 45 minutes to follow. Absolute machine !

Willian is in London for Medical. Still, it will time a lot of time for their new signings to all gel and they were far from convincing against the worst team in the league. Their next 2 games vs Swansea and Arsenal will tell a lot about their post-Bale future.

9th now with Hazard, Benteke, and Ivanovic to play again. fingers crossed for a top 4 finish

Despite being a total loon, Harry's Spurs was a lot more fun to watch than AVB's IMO.

36 points so far. Yaya, Hazard, Ivanovic, Paulinho, and Bony (f***ing hell) remaining. Another game for Benteke as well !

Bony not starting

Benteke gets points for the goal, and Szczesny gets some for the pen save. Cheers, thought it gives negative points for penalty miss.

Fucking hell Benteke. Misses the peno and then scores. that's nil basically, correct ?

Mig and Sturridge on form. shame Coutinho didn't finish his chance. Good start for my FF team

Liverpool FC ‏@LFC 31s #LFC team v @stokecity: Mignolet, Johnson, Enrique, Toure, Agger, Lucas, Henderson, Gerrard, Coutinho, Aspas, Sturridge. Shocking bench, mind you.

I actually fancy Benteke for a couple of goals in his first 2-3 games. I know for sure he'll score against us at Villa Park next weekend.

Was it Elmander who scored that ridiculous goal vs Wolves a couple of years ago ?

John Cross either hacked or trolling on Twitter.

What do people think of Benteke ? I'm afraid he may have the second season syndrome, on the other hand he's been on fire in pre-season, and for 9M is a fantastic value if he continues his last season form.

Liverpool 1 v 0 Stoke City Arsenal 2 v 1 Aston Villa Norwich 1 v 1 Everton Sunderland 2 v 1 Fulham West Brom 0 v 0 Southampton West Ham 2 v 0 Cardiff City Swansea 1 v 1 Man Utd Crystal Palace 1 v 1 Tottenham Chelsea 3 v 0 Hull City Man City 3 v 0 Newcastle Chelsea 2 v 0 Aston Villa

Didn't Everton go on a run of conceding in every game for 16/17 games last season ?! Just saw Coleman is 5. tempted to swap with Williams (who will have more clean sheets I suspect)

Utter crap. No Polish team in CL group stage since 1996. but Legia Warsaw are now one step away from making history. Have to beat Steaua Bucaresti in 2 legged tie . If they pull it off, I predict some awesome parties to go down here

I live in Poland mate. not travelling around. Not surprised though, the only league people care for here is Bundesliga despite their hatred of Germans.

Apparently Premier League is not broadcasted here in Poland. Dodgy streams it is then..

Tbf that's what happens when you go and play in Ukraine. Went to Ukraine last weekend. cheap as tits, if you're rich in Ukraine, you literally live like a king

Not sure about this one. Cazorla will get more points than Silva, but Sturridge is guaranteed first choice, whereas I think Lukaku may be rotated in and out.

Arsenal will get it as per usual (despite my wishful hopeful thought of Manc internal implosion under Moyes)
