Swansea for me definitely. Anyone who can play decent football and rock the establishment, fair play to them. If they finished 5/6/7th this year and beat us into Europe I wouldn't begrudge them that.

All depends on who can play that #10 role and whether Clasie is comfortable in a more attacking role. I'd like to Juanmi in there or maybe even J Rod if he can work on his sharpness in the break.

An excellent performance all round, even against 11 men we thoroughly dominated. Norwich looked poor and Jerome cut a very lonely and bored figure up front. Fonte and Yoshi had no trouble keeping him quiet. I'm surprised at the praise for Mané, who didn't have his best game for us, giving away possession needlessly with some fairly straight forward passes going astray. He was always threatening though, always willing to run at their defence. Targett first half didn't really get forward enough to help Tadic but looked a lot better second. Tadic himself was excellent throughout, turning them inside out first half and scoring two decent goals second. Romeu looked excellent, if he can play like that every game we wont miss the M word at all. J Rod... I think every touch was a shot apart from those keepy uppies he did before one effort. You can tell he is desperate to score but is still off the pace. There were a number of decent through balls he didn't quite anticipate quickly enough to get on to. Cedric was very good first half, seemed to tire a bit second. If we can keep him and Mané on the right and Tadic and Bertrand on the left, we've got the makings of a very creative, wide team. I can't imagine how poor Sunderland must have been when they lost at home to Norwich though.

Excellent today. Even before he got Whittaker s/o he caused all sorts of problems. Some of his build up play first half was sublime and he had Whittaker on toast. 2 decent goals and close to a hat trick

Naismith's a dirty bugger too.

Should be off, 2 really bad tackles in this game. Nasty scissor tackle on Cleverly. Lukaku doing a decent Adebayor impression of being largely anonymous but having the game of him life at St Mary's.

1 match. Cleverly has picked up a nasty looking injury against Spurs. Could be out for a while.

Spurs looking decent against Everton but wasting chances.

Did he just say, "we slept about a bit in the first half."?

A few accumulators ruined this afternoon. A Good day for the bookies.

8 minutes for West Ham to hold on at... oh hang on, never mind.

Friend suddenly remembers he is a Liverpool fan. Chelsea

Yep. A bit like the disallowed goal against Bompey he went down under the lightest of challenges, except Liverpool players at Anfield get a bit more sympathy from refs than Saints players at WHL. Coutinho off for an early bath now. Just to rub salt in, Sterling scores for Man City.

I love how he made an absolute hash of trying to run it out for a throw, got away with it when the lino bailed him out, then made another absolute howler.

Getting the Micky taken out of him after West Ham scored. Bompey winning again.

Tommo on Soccer Saturday.

Not sure why you would be outraged by what is a pretty poor attempt at a wind up. Just another idiot starved of attention who seeks it by trying to antagonise strangers on the internet.

My team FWIW Stek Cedric - Fonte - Caulker - Yoshi Wanyama - Romeu Mané - Juanmi - Tadic Pelle

Alex Morgan CDAJFU.

Mitrovic s/o after 16 minutes. A bit hard according to Jeff Stelling but it makes up for the red he should have had against us.

10 years ago today we drew 1-1 at Coventry under Harry Redknapp on a Monday night. Jamie Stowcroft (6) and Ricardo Fuller (12) with the goals. Niemi Hajto - Powell - Lundekvam - Higgy Prutton - Quashie - Oakley - Belmadi Ormerod - Fuller It was the first of 8 consecutive league draws.

I would say that's fair enough as he has been capped by Spain. I'd be surprised if Spain have capped a player worse than J Rod is at the moment.

Walcott and AOC both starting in the early kick off at SJP. Chambers has been dropped, unsurprisingly.

I disagree. People always say, "lets play the kids, they can't be worse than the senior players," then when they play they get slated. JWP and Targett are prime example of that, widely criticized so far this season but both considered brighter prospects so far by the coaches and management. It's the same with Reed, who seems to be the answer to our problems according to some people, when in fact he is very raw and prone to some rash challenges.
