Yes - three teams - maybe four.
And where are Manchester United?

Late run. Keep the faith Chappers old bean.
Great match for us last night.
Bit stressy towards the end - and the woodwork seemed determined to get in the way.
Having said that, how many open-goals did the city 'goal-machine' throw away?

In transition.

Let's hope it's not too brief!
Stupid news from Swansea. Laudrup sacked!
No one's safe anymore but for him it probably means a step up to a bigger club now he's free, probably Italy or Spain or somewhere. Has proved he gets a good style of game out of his players and is probably pleased at being free to offer his services to the big clubs now.
Chelsea surprised me a bit especially with City's 100% home record but that's the power of Mourhino at the club he loves being at, he gives them that lift to do something special. Both teams have good chances in CL, but maybe City's squad depth has already won them the premiership. Chelsea have had their two goes, and few others can cope with City as well as that.

Yeah, barmy. Definitely puts them in the frame for relegation now. Sorry, Ross.

Agreed, he was outstanding. Cahill, Terry, Matic, Luiz and Willian very good also.

Jungle drum rumours have been sounding for a while. My dad called it a month ago. Apparently the chairman has the next manger already lined up! A real shame. They've gone a long while without Michu and Dyer and I think this knocked the guts out of the team losing their attacking edge. With a small squad these things hit home.
Who do you reckon it'll be? Who do you want?
Was rather surprised to hear that Laudrup had suddenly gone. Not a complete surprise, though, as he's destined for big things.

Gary Monk is short term manager. I don't know enough to guess. David Moyes?

How tall is he?

Oh FFS! Since the middle of September, Arsenal have occupied the number one slot in the Premiership. I know it's incredibly media friendly to slag them off and declare Man City winners three months before the season's over, but it pisses me off no end.
You talk about strength in depth, look at the injuries Arsenal have had this season and look how they've kept on winning. When we played badly against Man City at the Etihad, we put three goals past them. Let's have a little bit of perspective please.
FA Cup giant-killing for Our Nige.
Will Fulham sack their second manager this season, I wonder?
