And how the hell is Nick Pope not England keeper?

I've been saying this for years.

It's going to be a long time until the end of the season, so many weird turns happened and will happen that'll affect both ends of the table, Liverpool look a shambles though, that defence is horrendous, not sure how they will fix the issues they have, Van Dijk is the lynchpin but injury and form are not helping him, same up front, Nunez was their big budget buy, but struggling to find form as well. Can't really blame anyone though, i think Liverpool changed the way teams played, that high press and harassing changed teams across the EPL, now they've all caught up.

Liverpool are digging up their pitch and planting potatoes, so they have something to lift in May.

(Clearly not my joke)

Must be an off year from the inhalers.

There must be something bigger going on at Liverpool? Lots of backroom staff leaving or left, FSG open to a sale, rumours of splits in the coaching staff.

For what Klopp has done I hope he stays and gets to rebuild, maybe with new owners. But he looks bereft of ideas at the moment.

An idea might be to replace his aging midfield rather than a couple of attackers.

As a man it'd fan I've excellent hindsight:)

Yep, they seem to have reverted to the Glazer playbook in how to run a club.

Pep’s getting all tinkery again! Lack of game time for Foden recently seems a bit odd.

Well I certainly hope he stays. I can’t get my head round why he just keeps playing the same way when it’s glaringly obvious that everyone has sussed out how you play against and beat Liverpool now

Long May it continue though. I’m loving it! Wolves absolutely battered them yesterday! It could easily have been 5 or 6 nil.

Anyway… results couldn’t have gone much better for us this weekend. The only downer was Casimero’s moment of madness. That’s him suspended again

Who else can he play though Binners? Thiago is the only midfielder they’ve signed for about 5 years! Which yes, does show a lack of planning. They’ve put all the hopes on getting Bellingham but why would he go there now for mid table football?

A draw between Arsenal and City in a few weeks could suit United well…..

Get in! On the bus home from nwhl after a great game. The team played well and it's good to see Harry get past Greaves, superb. Keeps us in the hunt for now.

Pretty retrospective. A slap on the wrist will suffice, I’m sure 🙄

I doubt that after Juventus were docked 15 points for similar. FFP is just an absolute nightmare to manage and enforce in this day and age, i'd guess if they're on Man City then a few other clubs might be getting twitchy as well.

Haven't Chelsea just spent the equivalent of the GDP of Portugal in this transfer window?

A 15 point deduction would still leave Man City above Chelsea and Liverpool.

Yes, but it'd make a great 3-way tussle for that 9th place spot at the end of the season 😂

About time really - a nice enough bloke, but his win rate was shocking. I have no idea who we'll get in though - some absurd rumours about Pochettino flying about though.

I take it by 'just', you mean two weeks ago 😉

Frank Lampard was two weeks ago.

Yank Lampard was the Leeds manager.

It was a joke.

That was Frank.

This is Yank Lampard, which i only recently found out is what Jesse Marsch gets called.

We've got the now managerless Leeds twice in the next week. I don't know whether thats a good thing or a bad thing. It depends who they get in I suppose. We could do without them having an Everton style new manager bounce

Great. Just in time for another 'new manager bounce' for our next 2 games. Hopefully we'll hammer them unlike the dog5h1t performances we put in against Wolves and Villa in the same circumstances.

You never know. The managerial merry-go-round in football is so unhinged nowadays, would anyone be surprised if Frank Lampard was Leeds manager by the time they arrive at Old Trafford on Wednesday?

It's given my Leeds supporting mate another chance to whine and bitch about how his great club is not getting whatever it is he thinks they're entitled to.

Should’ve had faith in your team TAFKASTR! They were two great counter attacking goals…

They were indeed, but I can guarantee you most Blades could see that game going against us. No complaints though and another cracking game - especially for the neutral

I see Spursey fun fumbler Lloris is out for 6 months, I wonder if he's out out or just out, whilst they push on with a less bowlegged keeper.

I see Billy 'not so' Sharp spat his dummy out after the game and made a total prat of himself on live TV. Tremendous example of a pure bred idiot letting his ill-informed tongue off the leash from the one brain cell he owns.

Maybe the hump and dummy spit was due to the fact a non league striker outperformed him and made him look like the washed up has been he is?

Seems everyone bar Sheff Utd fans (who are bizarrely applauding his car crash interview as if it was some stroke of genius and wisdom) and Billy the brain cell are still completely baffled by the outburst as he couldn't bring himself to muster up any details or specifics.

joao felix is a proper player. Chelsea may well have tapped up a genuine worldy.
