DEMBA BA WINS ME £170!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TURNS OUT I ACCIDENTALLY PUT TOO MUCH ON THE BET, BUT FUCK IT! GET IN YOU SEXY BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lukaku starts for West Brom vs. Newcastle United.

Just won £32 thanks to Suarez being first goalscorer. (Lucky for me own-goals don't count as the first goal scored with William Hill.) Now I'm just hoping Demba Ba scores first in Newcastle's game so I get a nice £72!

Last season during the 3-3 at home vs. United, they got a penalty which they definitely didn't merit and a penalty which, meh, I'm not too sure about. That game should've ended 3-2 or 3-1 to us in my opinion, giving us the 3 points. As for the game at Old Trafford which they won 3-1, Chris Smalling's goal was offside and Nani received the ball for his goal offside, yet the offside flag didn't go up for either. Of course the game would've played out differently, but I believe that game should've been 1-1 in the end when we take into consideration those 2 wrong decisions. So with that in mind, in theory, we should have had 4 points last season from Manchester United while they should have had 1 point from us. I wouldn't say either us or United have created a further gap in quality between either team since the transfer window shut, so really, I'm not expecting a defeat today. Their form in the Champions League is obviously better than ours this season, but look at who they've been facing. Laughable opponents compared to ours. Let's do this shit.

I just watched some interracial porn and the guy looked exactly like Mikel.

I can't see why Terry wouldn't leave. He get's (partly) away from the media always having their swords out for him. He gets better weather over there. He's already cemented as a legend here, and is a man with a lot of pride; meaning he possibly doesn't want his final 'decline' to be with us. He doesn't play for the England team anymore. He gets booed everytime he touches the ball here. Almost all of his problems would be gone (for now) if he did move. I'm not saying I do or don't want him to leave, but it's not as simple as "HE IS BLUE THROUGH AND THROUGH, CAPTAIN LEADER LEGEND JT FOR LYF. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE XXXXXX." Just look at Raul or Hierro etc. as perfect examples. You can leave your club as a legend. You don't have to retire there.

OK. Don't like the real line-up. Wanted to see Cahill partner Terry.

This will be absolutely hugeee for Sturridge. EDIT: Or not.

Hoping for a 3-1 win. (got a bet on it). Will accept any other win where we keep a clean sheet though.

Holy crap. I had no idea we were playing tonight! This has boosted my mood. With that said, surely this'll be our hardest fixture so far this season? Should be entertaining for neutrals.

@Manuf, Have you not seen how many crosses we're sending into the box recently? Do you really think Neymar will out-muscle/jump the centre-backs in the Premier League to make even a single one of those crosses come to something? We have a new philosophy now - Neymar doesn't fit in it. Try actually watching his games and not just compilations. (Aimed at everyone who hasn't done; not specifically you.)

So.. people want a £35mill+ lightweight 5'9" player leading our line? wot.

Best player so far in the Premier League this season? or am I missing someone obvious?

Best team in London

We have some of the best away support ever. Love it.

This is what champions are made of. I really hope we hold on.

I still think we need to bring in another leader to the double pivot to compliment Mikel and take charge. Ramires has done a good job, but I want a fantastic job. Despite him probably not being the right sort of player for the job, Ballack (a young one) keeps coming to mind.

I can feel them scoring. Ugh.

There was almost complete silence there. Odd.

"Mikel has always been doing that" no, no, no. Not when playing with Lampard in the double-pivot he hasn't. Not at all. Not with success anyway.

And that is why i don't like Luiz.

11 of the 13 goals scored by Tottenham this season have been in the 2nd half. Chelsea haven't conceded in the 2nd half yet.

Mikel finally doing what I always slated him for not doing and praised Romeu for doing - Slotting into centre-back when Luiz/Cahill venture forward. We wouldn't be seeing that if Lamps was playing I'm afraid.

Argh you Serbian poo.

Ramires has the touch of a pedophile sometimes but I just love him.
