Well now you're just being silly. Canucks haven't won anything and we can all enjoy that, but Spurs have won things. Recently it's been a dry spell, not unlike our local heroes, but that can change.

The best parallel might be between Arsenal and the Oilers though. You guys have Auba and Lacazette and no defence or much else. And of course they have two players and nothing else. I guess there's no shirt throwing at the Emirates, but in looking at the pictures from Thursday it's because there's no one there!

Times could change though. If you guys can be patient, Manuel Pellegrini is probably going to be available! Maybe even Marco Silva!

Newcastle is weird this season. They'll look like a beer league team one week, then do well against a top team one week later. Rinse and repeat.

Oh the irony of the only thing standing between Liverpool and the title is Brendan Rodgers. Needs to happen for the banter.

True. You’re more like the Laffs.

Winning titles in black and white.

What an 'interesting' series that was. Alisson takes a dumb red card, and Adrian is still setting up his wall as the free kick rolls in his net.

Pathetic game from Chelsea. Absolutely toothless.

That was odd. No argument about the card, but whether the ref blew the whistle to restart play for the free kick, who knows?

Either way, 3 points and move along. Disappointed that we'll be without Alisson for a few games over the Christmas period but Adrian has been a competent deputy.

The chasers are dropping points while we're not which is all I can really take out of it. City dropped and Chelsea dropped, I cant see Leicester dropping points against Everton tomorrow although that would be nice.

He definitely blew the whistle. That was entirely our own fault.

Which I figured, otherwise they'd have figured that out. BHA played that perfectly. Set piece with a new goalkeeper after a substitution and he played it well.

Oh, and as for the Red Card....I'm just going to go ahead and blame Dejan Lovren for not dealing with the threat and making Alisson commit.

Quique Sanchez Flora has been sacked again by Watford. I don't think we have any supporters here, so I assume no one here would know what in the world they're doing!

won 1 out of 10 games, so not surprised. Was shocked when he got the job back in the first place ... maybe they go back to Gracia now? Lol

EDIT: Pukki strikes again. At this point, David Luiz is a caricature of a defender at best.

have to wonder if Chris Wilder gets poached by a bigger club at some point. What he's been doing with Sheffield is madly impressive.

Marco Silva could be free in about four hours, gotta go back to him first before you bring back Garcia. Can't be skipping a repeat manager.

key game for Ole. Other results today were good, so they could get to 5th with a win ... it's a must win.

then I see a midfield Fred-Pereira-Mata and just prepare for the worst.
