Probably the worst Liverpool United derby I've seen for 80 minutes or so. Those 2 goals made it all worthwhile though. Sublime. Beeb are doing a poll atm as to which is better. Benteke is the better goal i reckon but Martial's was what I want to see every week. Love watching quick and physical players running at defenders, beating them then slotting home. Depay could do with some tips I reckon
Memphis = most overrated player of the season. The commentators have gone from mentioning him in every other breath, to barely mentioning his name at all.
I don't mind Watford. I just expected Swansea to get something of the game fair play to getting the win. Massive 3 points
Friend of mine used to put £100 on each Utd game, HT losing FT win. Was usually 25-30/1. His theory was even if only 2 came in all year he'd break even. At one point about 6-7 years ago we managed it about 5 games on the run, needless to say he was quite happy. Ended up giving up doing it, because he was going to games and praying Utd were crap in the first half, was ruining his matches.
I don't understand why people are expecting him to come in and be a world beater straight away. He was always going to put in patchy performances for me and he's pretty much done that this season. Had 2 blinders in Europe and then been alright the rest of the time without setting any worlds on fire.

That Chelsea v Arsenal game on Saturday is massive. If Mourinho loses that one he'll probably neck himself.
If he loses...he will still resort to his normal "I am the best manager in the world, nobody else is better than me for this job" "the fans have short memories" etc, etc.
I saw his interview after the Everton game and he said his players "didn't get what they deserved". They got exactly what they deserved with such poor and standoff-ish defending.
They didn't get punched in the face, hopefully he meant that Hopefully Arsenal give them a good thrashing though.
I'm already a nervous wreck about it. Most optimistic I've ever been for a game at Stamford Bridge. Will commit if we bottle it.
It's a massive game for both sides for completely the wrong reason. Neither are in great form even if Arsenal have managed to stay in touch. People will say it's a bigger game for Chelsea in terms of the title race but as Cabinet says at the start of the season Arsenal would have looked at getting a point maximum from this game - now there's a huge chance to take all 3 which will be massive massive bonus.
