Silva has been charged with misconduct by the FA. Basically the black 'victim' of this 'crime' wasn't offended, so a bunch of mostly old, white men in suits have taken it upon themselves to be offended on his behalf. Presumably if someone posted a picture comparing a young De Bruyne to the Milky Bar Kid or Rooney to Ralph Wiggum, they would also be charged for their offensive remarks.

I'm guessing that's just a theoretical line up, I'm pretty sure J Rod missed that whole season.

That's a 33% increase in points! Seriously though, I'd say that's more to do with the fixtures. Look at our home games; Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool, Leicester, Bournemouth and Everton. None of them are easy. Hughes by comparison had failed to beat Brighton, Burnley, Leicester, Watford, Newcastle, Man Utd and Chelsea when he was sacked.

Chambers is the only one I'd be interested in, the rest have had their heyday.

I think scoring seven away to Spurs would highlight the shortcomings in most teams attacking creativity, if I’m honest.

Probably doesn't want to get himself cup tied for that big move to Real in January.

Cracking game at the moment. I notice Austin is on the bench for the Baggies and no sign of him coming on when they need a goal either. Having a slow start to his career up there.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49825166 Cardiff ordered to cough up. Really poor on their behalf and any empathy I shared with them has long since been eroded.

Top six? I think most of the variations on this thread would win the League. Perhaps not the last two years with Liverpool and City being almost untouchable but that team is easily as good as the one Poch got to third.

Glasgow stuck a tenner on it but he's already cashed out for £50.

Boruc Clyne - Toby - Virgil - Bertrand Morgan - Wanyama Mané - Tadič - J Rod Pellè Subs: McC, Lovren, Shaw, Redmond, Davis, Lallana, Lambert

For the gamblers out there - Mason Mount is guaranteed to score in this game.

I think it’s just general apathy and having to watch poor football for three years, which is rapidly starting to look like four. I just don’t feel excited going to games anymore.

Live on Super Sunday (2pm kick off). No more kinky stuff please Ralph. Round pegs in round holes.

Chance missed there. A mark against Ralph surely, not taking one of the CBs off at HT.

How is Son unmarked when we've got a back five?

Son having a lot of joy down our right.

Good build up there, forced a decent save.

Should have at least had two shots on target there I feel.

Here please. Vestegaard Hattrick to come

At the moment, yes. I don’t think he’s incredible but if Djenepo isn’t fit, I’d have Boufal instead.

Like that team. You'd still bet on Spurs to win but that's as good an XI as we can put out.

Can’t be any worse than the last two visits, when they’ve put 8 goals past us in second gear.

Have a day off Soggy. You've had five years to talk about rape on the Evans thread, it's been done to death and you gave as good as you got. If that's not enough go and register on RapeWebForum and discuss it there.

I never include Saints players, it’s bad enough them letting me down in real life without that double whammy.
