Them or city for the title I reckon. Though early days..arsenal will probably fall off at some point 

[Last Sicarius 610]

LFC can starts a match without defenders because its sure that they will conceded at least a goal per game so they play ultra-offensive football.

It will be one game when someone will stops them.

Is Mourinho still around ?

[Essien19 1,415]

Really hope Stoke can win this today, got a bit too optimistic with the amount of money i put on them...

I'm getting a bit tired of the media already bombing Arsenal and Liverpool as big title contenders for playing "nice, offensive football".

We all know that grumpy old fuck Wenger cannot keep his lads motivated after x-mass and they will fuck up completely in the spring.

And Liverpool will fall soon enough as they play kamikaze football. If we played them like we played Southampton last sunday, on the counter, we would've beaten them few weeks ago on the Bridge.

Oh and on top of all, with regards to Pool:

After winning Southampton, we're just behind mancity and Liverpool by only 1 point. Nice and steady 

APLT explanation below 

  Reveal hidden contents

The Alternative Premier League table starts everyone from the 90points Line.

To maintain the 90 points level:

1. You have to win all 19 home games

2. Win all the away games against the bottom 7 from last season 

3. Draw all away games from the top 12 from last season. 

The relegated teams last season are replaced with the newly promoted teams. 

If you win when a draw is expected, you go up by 2 points.

If you lose when a draw or win is expected, you go down by 3 points.

If you win or draw when expected, you maintain the same level as the last gameweek. 

The 71 points line is the average expected points for champions League qualification (4th place)

Pep is an unbelievable manager. The way he turned it around in the 2nd half, his team are actually playing football with Barcelona and playing them off the park. De Bruyne is world class.

-Stoke City 3-1 Swansea

[BoyBlue96 990]

Please let November be the typical month for Arsenal where they lose a shitload of points. 

 

My god their fans are so fucking tiring me. It's 2016 now and they still try to tell me that they also could've won the Champions League if they had "a Russian crook as an owner". They are so deluded it's embarrassing. Arsenal IS FUCKING RICH but yeah they bought Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Özil with some shirt buttons and some magic beans.

Could you imagine the uproar that would follow if Diego had done what Ibra did tonight?

Tell me how the fuck the ref let him get away with it. Let alone pushing the refs and away from him when he was talking to him.

Its one rule for 1 and 1 for the other.

The ref should be ashamed and if the so called media and pundits dont string him up by his yarbles then summets dodgy.

I understand that mate and with a team full of players of that quality anyone connected to the club will feel the same way. Its just a living nightmare.

But if the ref is either too scared to book him being who is is etc or is just a shity ref theres something wrong. Cause we all know Diego woulda been off and suspended.

Rashford was immense last season but they made a choice to go for Zlatan and now all of a sudden the young kid is been forced to play as a wing man or sit on the bench. That kid should of been the focal point of how things needed to be, but Jose made his stamp and brought Zlatan in and he was never going to not be picked. As for Pogba, don't get me started on that 90M waste man, he will never justify that price tag because he is not as good as some say he is and he isn't worth half of that price tag.
