Heard Newcastle were really good. They mostly are against big teams. Think Mclaren has figured out the best team now so its matter of time results start coming in. Newcastle will finish at least 12th IMO.

Brah pls.

I am serious. I have watched you guys quite a bit recently and performances are getting quite good. Results will follow.


You just need 2 better CMs or 2 better wingers so Wijnaldum and sissoko can go back to CM

Everton leak a ridiculous amount of goals. They're up there as the highest goalscorers in the league but even scoring two or three isn't enough to win them games. Fun to watch but can't see them seriously challenging for the top four unless they improve on that.

Assuming City and Arsenal contend the title, my two picks for third and fourth are United and Spurs. I feel Spurs are functioning much better as a team than the other contenders. Leicester will fall away once Mahrez and Vardy are run into the ground.

They'll never go back to CM lol, McClaren is a coward and puts them on the wing because Colback and the other garbage is undroppable apparently and he considers them wingers.

We have been picking the same team for months and nothing has changed. Playing well and losing every week doesn't mean anything to me, it's what bad teams do.

Unless there's significant investment, like 5 or 6 quality players and the usual culprits banished from the first team we'll struggle to stay up imo.

Yeah. It's there for the taking.

Arsene doesn't win it this year, he should resign.

not

We're top of the league atm by chance - not design.

A team worthy of winning the title wouldn't be winning against City, getting thrashed by an out of form Soton, steamroll Bournemouth and then (undeservedly) limp past Newcastle in the space of 2 weeks.

We are inconsistent and we have the usual destructive injury spiral - playing the same team due to injuries and injuring players by overplaying them, repeat.

Arsenal is being classic Arsenal.

Difference is obviously the drop of other contenders.

If our contenders are bad, then we will strive to be worse. That be how we roll.

Palace and Chelsea teams:

Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Soure; Lee Chung-yong, Jedinak, McCarthur, Zaha; Puncheon; Campbell

Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Costa

or klopp lol

Hazard injured after 15 minutes. Not sure what he's done.

Pedro on.

Very, very wet day for football too.

That's a bit simple goal for Palace to concede.

Pardiola letting us down here. :/

Everytime Pedro tries to dribble he loses the ball. Zouma has been impressive every time I've watched Chelsea.

Willian with a screamer to put Chelsea 2-0 up. Palace haven't offered much in this game.

3-0 game over

its obvious Hazard is the bad apple. 3 goals when he's off
