Watching the cricket, if we declare on 130 we send the Aussies home. Just saying.

I was thinking better off just letting them bowl at stumps and not offer a shot when we get to about 128

Was mainly due to a harsh red imo. If JWP stays on we shut up shop and I back us to grab a point there. Against 10 with our best player off it was pretty hard unfortunately.

Not really, Chelsea absolutely battered Burnley today, they had a hatful of chances and only really got the draw through luck, some poor finishing and Pope being a good keeper. 

We matched Chelsea for most of the game until the 10 men, and still conceded less shots and had more possession than Burnley did, even though they had 11 on the pitch for the whole game.

No one in that middle pack seems very consistent, 9 teams separated by 3 points at the moment (albeit with some games to play), you'd think if it carries on like this and we can get a good run, maybe some luck with injuries a sneaky 7th or 8th might be available. Leicester don't look as good as they have been the last two years, and none of Everton, Wolves, Spurs, Arsenal etc. the usual candidates for those 5-9 spots look that great either. 

Seems to be a very clear 3 best teams in the league that are better than everyone else, and then a big mess of inconsistency, sackings, new managers, etc. in the middle.

Love Roy Keane. Tells it as it is

Yeah he pulls zero punches. I do wonder if he'd have been a much success as a manager 20/30 years previously, when players had less power.

How united have spent so much money and yet have a centre midfield consisting of Fred, Matic or Mctominay is laughable. Saints have a better midfield than that let alone the top three with stars such as Fabinho, Rodri and Kante.

Talks a lot of sense. Players like Fred and McTominay are nowhere near good enough if you're looking to challenge for the title and/or European qualification. They're fairly average and that's being generous.
