Mourinho seems to have taken up where he left off. It`s not my fault, they are not following my orders. I order them to win and they don`t.

Tottenham, as per last season, are the best team in the league. Saying that, the way last season went... Stoke will probably nick the top spot.

Well, something must have happened since early season. After all of the crap about come back lads, we know how to play you, I deliberately watched the first few weekend games. It was just like watching England, with a few bits missing - they were attrocious.

I will take your word for it, and again watch them the next weekend match that doesn't clash with Manure (my son gets first pick if they are playing), and hopefully something major has happened.

Ooooh, I enjoyed the footy today! Men against boy's - lol!

Season wise, we had a good start, but were always looking vulnerable, that came to fruition against a couple of the better teams, the manager changes the formation and now we're looking much better. Amazed at how well Moses has come on and really pleased with the form of many. Matic too is getting better and better and Zouma is likely to be ready to return in the next 2/3 weeks

All the top teams seem to put together a good run, followed by a stutter and just 1 point between the top 5 is pretty unusual.

So how do you think your team is doing so far and how do you think the rest of the season will go? If we can stay injury free with key players, I reckon we'll be more or less where we are now at seasons end.

As a neutral I've been looking forward to Chelsea v Spurs since their 'battle' at the end of last season, obviously not for the football though! :laugh:

But KO is not until 12.30 :cuss: :banghead: Going to try to stay awake for this one, hope it's not a damp squib and see if both teams end up with 11 players on the pitch. :naughty:

Not sure but it's great to watch. More entertaining than the actual footy.

And it was a truly terrible game!

I suspect that Pep will need a 2nd season just to come to terms with the premiership. I wonder how far both of these teams could go if they had decent defences and goalies?

It was a poor game bar Wijnaldums excellent header.
Chelsea go marching on.....13 wins in a row now....the title looks in the bag for them already and also Swansea,Hull and Sunderland for the drop.
Lee Mason gave the worst display of refereeing this season at the United v Boro game,which is saying something.Fortunately it didn't affect the game in what was a pulsating second half.
For the first time since SAF retired I'm feeling optimistic about United.They are playing decent football and never give up.Compare this to this time last season under Van Gaal.....75% possession but only 1 shot on goal,week after week !
