[Waffdon]

Four lovely goals from Roma tonight.

[Shindig]

Let's keep this winning run up, please. Party like it's October 2016. Newcastle Eagles are on the BBC website on Friday, as well.

[Reg]

Big weekend for us top two. Hopefully it goes our way but I'd definitely take matching your result, especially since our game in hand is coming Tuesday.

[Baz]

United haven't won at Stoke for four seasons.

[Kikó]

It'll be a tough game. Leslie always makes it difficult for us.

[Reg]

One of the worst goals I've seen us concede at this level.

Knockaert is class. We surely have to go up to keep him.

[Smiffy]

Sheffield Wednesday have lost their heads. Good win for Brighton, that.

[Reg]

Really good game. Only a few pieces of genuine quality but good entertainment. Stockdale was so far off his line for the penalty save, I don't know how linesmen don't spot those.

[niko_cee]

Massive win. The Murray red card was absolutely absurd. He was in the middle of the box and it was going straight at the keeper.

[Raoul Duke]

Why are Liverpool intent on flinging crosses into the box? Do they still think Benteke plays for them?

[Boydy]

There's no other outlet really. They miss Mané so much.

[Gray Fox]

Slowly returning to proper Liverpool now.

[Magic]

[Magic]

!!!

[Max Power]

Excellent goal. Would like to like to lol at Liverpool but just realised we are in a relegation battle and this Swansea win is bad news

[John Arne]

Great goal.

[John Arne]

Sturridge for Can, please. Drop Lallana back. Can isn't dynamic, or good enough, to play that 2nd midfielder role.

[Gray Fox]

Maybe not so slowly then.

At least it's game on now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

[Gray Fox]

Mane is such a big loss. We have no width on the right and Milner will always cut back onto his right.

Moreno could well thrive in a game like this(if he's ever going to).

[SvN]

Why is Llorente getting booed? Haven't really been paying attention other than the goals.

[John Arne]

Oh great, Sturridge has adopted his "I'll stand behind the defenders and hope they miss it", rather than coming short actually challenging for the ball.

[John Arne]

I knew calling him crap last week would spur on the white-teethed chav.

[Raoul Duke]

Swans

[Boydy]

Why has Matip not been playing today? I thought he'd been cleared to play.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Surely Gylfi has to move to a better club at some stage. Maybe not Tottenham better. But possibly Everton better.

[Lewis]

Fellaini starts, presumably to counter those Rory Delap throws.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Dropping Carrick for bog brush, ugh.

[Boydy]

Why has Matip not been playing today? I thought he'd been cleared to play.

There he is. Bit fucking late and at the wrong end of the pitch. Maybe if he'd started in defence they'd not have got into this mess.

[Sam]

Break out the graphs gents, the bust begins.

[Gray Fox]

He's been out since around November so will probably need some fitness.

Deserved win for Swansea. Bombscare Lovren/Klavan cost us yet more points. Mingolet didn't really have a chance with any of the 3 either.

[Giggles]

That's wrapped it up as a good weekend already.

[niko_cee]

Liverpool's record without Mané must be absolutely tragic.

He's bound to break his leg in the Afcon final.

[Gray Fox]

I know we haven't won without him, but I'm not even sure we pick up many draws.

Emre Can and Wijnaldum as a midfield pair is seriously shown up in these games too. I'd like to say we'd find someone who can pass in the centre, but who am I kidding thinking we're going to sign anyone?

[Lewis]

'SWANSEA IN SHOCK WIN AT LIVERPOOL', reads the BBC headline, as if it was an FA Cup giant-killing.

[Baz]

Proper turd. Was gonna watch United (they're on my betslip) but I'm gonna go for a nap instead.

[Sam]

'SWANSEA IN SHOCK WIN AT LIVERPOOL', reads the BBC headline, as if it was an FA Cup giant-killing.

Wait till next week for that headline.

[Boydy]

I used to like Can but he's been absolute dogshit recently.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Just looked at the table. How the fuck are Burnley in the top half? We can't collectively be letting Sean Dyche do that.

[Lewis]

Ander Herrera bravely gets another player booked. Next United captain.

[Lewis]

Jesse Lingard would have scored that.

[Danny]

This finishing has been criminal

[niko_cee]

Just looked at the table. How the fuck are Burnley in the top half? We can't collectively be letting Sean Dyche do that.

Apparently they are 3rd in the home form/results table. I know Liverpool binned it there (sans Mané) but has anyone else (allegedly) good been there and lost? I know Arsenal robbed them late.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They've beaten Liverpool, Everton, Watford, Palace, Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Southampton. So not really.

That's all 8 of their wins as well.

[Lewis]

Does Bobby Charlton have to go to every game, no matter how shit and bad for his health, until this record is broken? Poor bastard.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Haven't watched any of it but losing a game in which Fellaini starts shocker.

The sooner he is put down and a replacement for Carrick is found the better.

[Lewis]

He was one of their better players until he went off.

[Lewis]

Randrew's refereeing file is onto a fresh page today. Not that he missed all of the sitters and kept passing it to Antonio Valencia, but still.

[Pleb]

Fergie time
