Looks like Jordan Ayew is playing.

If I knew he would start I would have picked him instead of his brother Andre playing against us for my fantasy team.

Watching Crystal Palace vs Norwich now.. Should be a good game.

here is the match animation of all the games important moments in manchester united versus tottenham.

it records and saves the live match detail animation and once it's finishes you can watch the match play out in animation after watching the live animation.

(link) - http://cs.betradar.com/ls/widgets/?/betradar/en/Europe:Berlin/page/sportcenter/soccer#matchId=7464236

click the play button under the exclamation mark and then click the play button again thats in the middle of the pitch and watch the animation play out.

it's a great tool using when doing match detail analysis/match reviews/match reports instead always wasting bandwidth on watch online highlights after watching it the first time.

Leicester are sick. With the way they have been playing since in September last season, it always seems like they have structural tactics.

Leicester vs Sunderland 3:0 min 25

He had always been very underrated.

Completely agree. Height, strength, athleticism (I love that about him). Calm, strong in the air and he reads the game really well. Able to come out of defence and intervene as well. If he doesn't become world-class, he'll comfortably reach that bracket below the elite I think. Find a good partner for him and you have a strong CB duo. Not that it will fix their organisation when defending.

Luckily for us, Van Gaal seems to insist on a left-footed CB, hence Blind today instead of the absent Rojo. Hope he continues with Blind at the back, Romero in goal and Depay at #10. Maybe add Fellaini on the right wing to the mix.

Hopefully this is finally the season Sunderland go down. Following the Wigan mould, do fuck all for 7/9 months of the season then string together enough to scrape by

[Special Juan 27,101]

Sunderland...

1. Start shit

2. Sack manager

3. Play well

4. Loan a player

5. He scores for fun

6. Stays up on last day

Utd not first anymore

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Sunderland...

1. Start shit

2. Sack manager before the Tyne-Wear derby

3. Beat Newcastle and play well

4. Loan a player

5. He scores for fun

6. Stays up on last day

Hope you didn't mind my corrections there

Rojo is also left-footed.

Memo to iseah100...Did you see your boy Layún scored for Watford today?

[DYC. 7,542]

Rojo is also left-footed.

That's what I meant. In the absence of leftie Rojo, Van Gaal went with leftie Blind. He recently said he wants one left-footed CB and one right-footed CB.

[Reddish-Blue 2,220]

I like the look of Watford, hope they survive this season
