Some tekkers by Demichelis on that OG.

Soton will play United, City, Arsenal within 10 days. And after that, they will play Chelsea, Arsenal and United again in 13 days. Almost all these games are in December, tough tough period for them.

Some were upset that Southampton because it lowers the gap to second place back to 4 points. I'm actually delighted every time they win. The more points they rack up now, the better chance they have of nicking 4th from united and setting back their evolution into title contenders another year.

Yeah I'd prefer Soton to nick a CL spot but when the tough games come thick and fast, I don't think they have a squad capable of coping with it.

Damn if we hadn't conceded 2 late equalizers we'd be so far ahead now that it would take a complete meltdown to lose the title.

Pep loves teams with history, doubt he'll go to City. I wouldn't be surprised if his next destination is at United.

No he loves teams with massive squad and shite loads of money.

so where are the people who were saying that lovren was worth 20mil?

If anybody said before the season started, that West Ham will only 3 points behind City after 11 games played, I will think he is mad and should go to hospital for a brain scan.

I have posted last week the same thing that Southampton will facing a tough schedule respectively, and might struggle. But at the moment, if even Qphaha could get a draw against City, I believe they are more than capable to beat City or MU and of course Arsenal. Well, if not win, I think they could get at least a draw, especially the match in their home.

Unbelievable how those scousers are looking for any sympathy they can get

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He'll probably just choose the easiest job with a ready-made team and continue with being 'lucky' in football management...

So he'll take over Chelsea in a couple of years? Damn!

Overall, I don't mind the draws. Keeps the players focussed and grounded

I hope they stay 2nd after that 6 tough games. 7 to 10 points behind us and 5-6 points ahead of 3rd and 4th in the league

Underestimate Southampton at your own peril!

Seriously though, they are able to steal points from big teams and maybe give us a hand to extend the gap. They certainly have the squad and the manager for it.

[gary gordon 1,777]

Agree about Southampton. They have some very dangerous, hungry players. Long reminds me so much of Joe Cole. He would have been an excellent buy if we didn't grab Remi.

[Laylabelle 9,309]

Hope they can.just not from us lol.not do a Hull and go down the table

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Swansea win to make this weekend even more sweeter

I would make one with all the decisions that went their way last season but Ill probably die before I finish it.

[Fernando 6,387]

Southampton still have some nice money from the summer.

They could buy if they wanted this January to help them freshen up and fight for that top 4 till the end.

[Laylabelle 9,309]

Awwww agree with Hodgson diddums poor ole Rooney England Captain and Man U Captain...no one has ever had that responsibility before
