Be like a Man U home game for most of their “fans”

Couldnt see or hear any of them.

Caught the 2nd half of Burnley v Man City, it was great to watch and a well deserved point to Burnley.
Im a bit worried for JTC, the noise when Burnley equalised was intense and I was imagining him jumping out of his box.

Burnley were definitely good for at least one goal, but how Sterling missed I'll never know .. Glad he did though lol. The Clarets played an entertaining brand

Haha, I did manage a cheer or two.

Terrific second half, not so good first half. City should have put the game to bed before half time. I think the Clarets showed them too much respect in the 1st half and at some point in the 2nd they just decided, f$¥k it let’s have a go at them.
We had City fans with us and it felt like a loss to them at then end.

Gotta say the travelling City fans are a bunch of conceited oiks. They spent most of the day singing about how rich they were and how poor we were. until we shut them up with that late equaliser that is

Great, and unexpected, point take us one step nearer safety and with Leicester only managing a draw, keeps us in 7th.
Dyche has signed a new 4 year deal worth £3.5m a year so if he does go, not that I can see that happening anytime soon, then at least we will get some compo.

Heard that during the call and meant to ask how compo works for a Manager?

I think it is similar to players as far as being tied in. I think if a club tries to approach him and they can’t agree a value, then it is set by tribunal. The longer the remainder of the contract has, the more compensation the tribunal would award.

I think that’s how it works.

Plenty of controversy at Anfield this morning...

Great 2nd half by Spurs, should have won so a late point more than deserved, what a goal by Wanyama!
And well done to Harry Kane on netting his 10th EPL goal at such a young age.
4 points against them is not as good as 6 but itll have to do.

Haven't seen the game yet, but most Pool fans seem to be saying the same as Wedgie that we were probably lucky to take a point

Big achievement netting your 10th Premier League goal

Cheers Johnny, I wondered if that might be the case .. Must admit I'd never really thought about it before, I assume Managers can have release clauses built in like players?

I would guess so JK

Watford 1, Chelsea 0! Almost half time.

Watford 3
Chelsea 1
Almost full time!

4-1 now, Chavs have been a man down since very early on

Nice work Watford,2 point separating 3rd, 4th and 5th now.

Looks like Conti is done at Chelsea already
Lost 3-0 to Bournemouth 2 weeks ago and now 4-1. Something definitely wrong down at the bridge.
Our final 12 games have only Chelsea at Turf Moor and Arsenal at the Emirates to play against the top 6.

Conte's looked "over" the whole Chelsea experience for quite sometime now. Appears he has some angst toward the owner and/or master of coin and rather than jumping ship, he's just been waiting for the tap on the shoulder and sizeable payout.
