Elia is injured.

The PL is not really a place for sentiment. The reality is Toby is better than Yoshida and will play. Yoshda has been good, but Toby is still in a different league.

City weren't ''bad'', they just lacked the urgency at the start and it allowed Burnley to get their foothold. Then they were simply playing against 2 banks of 4 and that was that.

Sunderland is rotten to the core. Poyet, Bruce, O'Neil aren't all bad managers, yet all have been/are being pushed out of that place. They need to go down, strip the squad apart, and start from scratch with a fresh faced young manager. If they keep just about surviving they will continue to ruin managers careers. Poisoned challace

A lot of this is Redknapps fault, he created a mess of a side full of - once again - overpaid 'has beens' in the hope they would gel and work together. They didn't, he had no answers, so he jumped to leave Ramsey with the mess. As much as Fernandes is a bit of a fool, Redknapp was a disaster for them in every single way. Seems to make a habit of leaving clubs in a mess which take years to fix.

QPR are a mess, but it's not Harry's fault, f'sure.

Probably a bit overkill for most, but I have a Proliant server under the stairs running ESXI, loads of VM's where I play with all my training materials generally etc - but I've also installed a media setup on it. I have Plex media server running on 1 of the VM's. All my media is stored on my general Qnap NAS (which is the storage device for everything) and Plex just scans from those folders, never had any issues. It's hidden away under the stairs and the media is available on any TV or Device inside or outside the house. The beauty is that I can be watching a film on my TV, but don't have time to finish watching it as I have to go out on the train etc - so i stop it on the TV, get on the train, load up the phone and it carries off from exactly where I stopped it on my TV. Plex is pure genius. I can't recommend plex highly enough by the way, genius bit of software that has changed my viewing habits!

Well, PSG are ready to throw big bucks @ Di Maria apparently, so they can re-use some of that.

Oh god, we're not going to have another summer of Paul Allen yought spotting are we?

Reckon united will pass up on Falcao and Di Maria, and go for Cavani and Bale instead.

If I was him, I'd jump out of that hole as soon as possible. Fantastic player, and he needs to be the main man again somewhere else. Would love to see him back in the PL.

In L1 we were a great investment, due to the facilities we already had in place. So we were able to invest into the team and grow with that. I think a Newcastle, Everton or a Villa are more attractive options than us at this level. I think we've got a great setup at the moment though, and I can never see us becoming a mega-rich sugardaddy backed club - it's not what we are about.

Based on how close it is right now, I reckon we're into a final game of the season show-down - and you'll still be in the reckoning. I think Derby are certs, not 100% sure on Norwich just yet - but they're on a good run that's for sure.

''What do you feel about global warming?''

''What did you think about Chelsea's acting on Wednesday night?'' ''What do you think of the state of English teams in Europe?'' ''Do you believe Chelsea froze on the occasion?'' ''What is your opinion on the performance of Gareth Bale?'' ''Will you be Barcelona manager soon?'' ''Oh, and any injury news for your team?''

He gives me advice in training, as do Shane Long and Graziano Pelle, with my shooting and movement. Oh dear

Cabaye wasn't even on the bench. He's thrown his career away.

Whops.

Chelsea are a good side, but by my reckoning they're going through their ''spell'' at the moment. All teams have them at some point during the season, so this is probably as good time as ever to face them.

What the hell have I just watched? Crazy pole.

You're right, he's not played enough for me...but you can tell in the occasions he has played that he is a player. He's a proven Champions League player and he's in our squad, pretty remarkable we got him in the first place. Kudos to Koeman for that one, and if he had the pull to bring him here originally you'd think we have a chance, even if slim, to keep him here long-term.

You can be a bit mental sometimes. If you truly believe that Koemans targets at the start of the season was a Top 4 onslaught and challenge, then you are a bit of a silly man. The target, as well publicized throughout the club in the summer, was if possible....to keep the same level as last year and maybe even do a bit better. I'd say he's smack bang on target and actually probably ahead of where the club believed he'd be and where many fans believed he'd be. So shove your diabolical failure remark back up your arse where it came from.

Will we get the opportunities to iron out our wrinkles though? That's the problem we will have. We will most likely spend the summer trying to replace our best players, the wrinkles will just carry over.

Spurs, Liverpool, City and Chelsea in their next 5.

Your expectations are all over the place.
