[Reg]

Great result for us tonight. Looking forward to Monday night even more now.

Tasty set of games on Sunday.

Can a mod correct the dates to 27/28 please?

[Max Power]

Stupidly excited for the return of FOOTBALL. Should by all rights be wiping the floor with Norwich but I'll never not be nervous.

[Jimmy Floyd]

We will have an agreed draw at Southampton. 0-0 overwhelmingly likely but 1-1 also possible.

Leicester win this and they are points clear again...

[Toby]

Celtic with a red card and a missed penalty to drop two points to Hamilton.

I haven't watched a single minute of SPL football this year, but Aberdeen remaining within even sniffing distance allows the potential for some serious seething from Celtic fans, which could only be amusing.

[Waffdon]

Aberdeen don't look too good. Celtic are pretty meh though - stealing players from their own league hasn't really worked out

[Giggles]

Aberdeen don't look too good. Celtic are pretty meh though - stealing players from their own league hasn't really worked out

Are they like bundling them into the back of a van and holding them in Glasgow, or by stealing do you mean signing or buying?

[Waffdon]

Christie, Allan and Ciftci all in the last year.

[John]

He's bitter about the Mackay-Steven and Armstrong deals.

[Waffdon]

Lol.

They've been BUYING the better players from a lot of Scottish clubs. Then realised it's Scotland so an awful standard

[Sam]

We are on TV again, though I'm actually going to the game, can't beat a good lynch mob.

[ScousePig]

We will LOSE today because we have a TOUGH game, although we have been playing WELL lately.

[Kikó]

I think we are going to get PUMPED by the ARSE again. Just because we beat lower league fodder then a Danish bacon select xi doesn't mean we've turned a corner. 3-0.

[Waffdon]

I left my coat and Id in Dundee. Lol. What does one do? !

[Pen]

What do you need your ID for? Surely getting drinks is not an issue if you're going to an away with your mates.

[Weaver]

Could end up being a disastrous few days as Sunderland, Norwich and Swansea all play two games before we play at Stoke on Wednesday night, where we always play shite.

I reckon West Ham/Sunderland could be a decent game and I'll go Man City to win the cup.

[Shindig]

I fear for us. Kinda.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Watching Wolves v Derby. Ye gods.

[Bob Sacamano]

I'm pretty surprised to see Sigudarson still there, I'm sure he was a major flop under Solbakken which seems an age ago. Props to him for working his way back into the side, unless they literally have nobody else.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Derby had been atrocious and 1-0 down, but Coldplay's Chris Martin just curled in a free kick which the wall/goalkeeper seemed to fuck up quite badly.

George Saville in the Wolves midfield looks good, nice to see the ex Chelsea trainees building a career.

[Byron]

On the one hand Slav

On the other hand, Sam

[John Arne]

This is turgid.

[Toby]

Sunderland actually play some half decent football but their finishing is dreadful.

[ScousePig]

Sunderland actually play some half decent football but their finishing is dreadful.

We actually have some good players (albeit some of them are new/haven't played much), but there's just something missing. Usually it's defensively as opposed to scoring. We concede too many really soft goals, and that's cost us again today.

[John Arne]

Khazri trying a rabona in the 88th minute, whilst 1-0 down

[Byron]

According to the BBC Antonio did this on the pitch as a goal celebration



If so, that's amazing.

That's fucking great.

[Boydy]

He did! - http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/foot...-a3190711.html

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That is fucking amazing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ah, there's the obligatory Shane Long goal against us.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Atletico are 1-0 up at Real Madrid in the derby, and they never concede goals, so it's basically all over.

Real Madrid heading squarely for third if so.

[CJay]

Real Madrid heading squarely for third if so.

Or 4th. Villarreal home to Levante tonight, 5 points behind them.

[Reg]

You seem to have had that problem for years now. Stupid back passes and just a fundamental lack of sense from the defence.

@ Scouse

[Davgooner]

Leicester.

Keep going lads.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Sounds like daylight robbery from us. The best kind of robbery.

[Bob Sacamano]

Sanogo hatrick

[Davgooner]

Everyone's in shock.

[Shindig]

Alright, lads. That's another week of us still being in it.

[Mellberg]

On behalf of Aston Villa and I would like to welcome Sunderland and Norwich to the Championship party.

[Reg]

Ulloa! Top of the Premier League, bet he can't believe his luck.

That Antonio celebration is the best thing ever.

[CJay]

Lanzini(?) standing there like 'wtf' is my favourite bit.

[Shindig]

Ranieri's sitting there in the dressing room with a hypnotist.

"You are in a relegation battle. You are fighting for your lives..."

[Reg]

You'd think he'd have rehearsed in training but the fact nobody seems to know what he's doing makes it even better.

[Kikó]

Last minute winners when you're not playing well, sign of champions.

[Byron]

Apparently the story behind the Antonio celebration is that he suggested it to a couple of teammates last night but neither thought he would have the balls to pull it off.

Fucking kudos lad.

[Samadini]

Palace are trying to get themselves relegated.

[Max Power]

OH HIS NAME IS LEONARDOOOOO

I'm absolutely buzzing. Moreso than the Man City away win and others I think. I genuinely think we can do this.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I thought this game was going to be a shitter so I swerved it.

Now that I've turned it on we'll be treated to turgid shit.

Bit further than he expected.
