Gah, get luckier this weekend London clubs. Of course it's going to hit the post and fall to their CF at the 6 yard box with no one within 5 yards of him.

Diego Cost-us a goal.
Should be 4-1

Don't worry it will end 6-2 or something.
Like I said before on predictions:
1. Chelsea
then no idea.
Maybe go ahead and pencil in City as 2nd.

We are one CB injury away from finishing outside the top 4

And an injury to Diego would set you back..but Drogba would still give you better than what you had last year.
But injuries will kill any team this year. If Sturridge goes down holy god we are F'd *knock on wood*.
Speaking of defenses LOL ManU defense is a joke. Even with signing Rojo today.

Yep. When Phil Jones stands out as by far your best defender, that's a problem.

This second half has been unbelievably boring. Nice passing moves, but that's pretty much it. Got two teams out there - one that is playing like they've already won and one that is playing like they've already lost.

Well, we know two things after that:
1) Chelsea is pretty good
2) Burnley isn't

Fits right into that side, doesn't he?

Work took me away from the TV for that 2nd half, so glad to see I didn't miss anything.

He should of never been fired from Cardiff. They're definitely candidates (3rd favorite behind Burnley and QPR), but I think they survive.

Completely agree, he was a great manager in Wales. I honestly thought he would've been a candidate for Celtic's opening before they hired Deila. I figured he was holding out for Newcastle WHEN Pardew gets fired/disappears suspisciously this year.

Arsenal and Besiktas drew today, and if I'm honest, Besi deserved the win. Were much more composed and effective on the attack and probably should've converted a few of their chances. Definitely some home field effect in play during the game, but the return fixture will be pretty interesting.
