Spurs have had guys out injured left and right this season wtf are you even talking about? Simmer down with your victim complex.

Plus that back line of Dier, Verts, and Sanchez will roll on just fine.

God damn that hurt. We got outplayed though. Dembele and Sissoko both had howlers. Right when Winks came on it made a noticeable difference.

That being said, that "foul" by Sanchez wasn't a foul, and Mustafi was offside. Then you get offside on the 2nd goal too, but who's counting right?

Fuck arsenal COYS forever

If Chelsea or ManU don't gain any ground on Citeh during the Holiday Fixture schedule I think the Title race may be over.

Chelsea is playing better and if Pogba stays healthy ManU are a different beast.

^ I actually agree but I do believe City is going to hit a patch of bad form and I think it will be in December. By new years day I think the deficit will be under 4 points.

No doubt it was a weak foul and Mustafi was offside as well. But the second goal was good. His head was level and unless you are Thierry Henry against Ireland you can’t score with your hand..

That comeback today was gutsy. They showed some backbone after what happened at the weekend in a situation where a lot of teams would have folded mentally.

Topping this group says a lot. It was dubbed the group of death, and we went out and won it convincingly going through some perennial knockout round teams on the way. I'm pretty proud of them and it shows the potential they have when they play well.

Looks like all English clubs will make the Knockout Round of the Champions League this season. Well, unless Lolpool lose by 8 goals to Spartak in last match. Which I guess anything is possible with that back line.

I think Liverpool was lucky to get their goal just like Chelsea was on the equalizer. I think Chelsea had the better of the chances especially in the first half. A deserved draw for both sides.

I guess a draw is fair. Still felt like Liverpool "controlled" most of the game and played very well defensively. Most Chelsea chances came from outside the box.

Hazard is so awesome though. Refs didn't do him any favors either, LFC hacked him down every chance they had.

I think the moral victory portion is that the Chelsea goal wasn't the result of any defensive blunders but just technical perfection

Huge match today. I can see the title slipping away if we drop points here. Next three are Watford, Arsenal and City. I would say 6 points out of 6 is a must if City continue winning.

I predict a draw tonight based on recent performance but its time for Jose and the team to step up now.

Its time for Lukaku to get benched for a few matches with Zlatan up front. Good three points. Switched off in the second half but it should have never been that because Lukaku should have finished a couple of chances well before the last 10 minutes.

Three more points sets us up nicely for the derby. Arsenal is a bit hot right now and going to the Emirates is not going to be fun but we can win against Arsenal and would take a classic Mourinho smash and grab there.

Liverpool away to Stoke, Arsenal home to Huddersfield, and City hosting Southampton are some tasty fixtures I think. Arsenal and Pool have to take advantage of the spurs dropping points but these aren't easy fixtures and Arsenal probably has an eye ahead at the weekend.

Hoping City drops points here but hard to see at home. I think City will drop points in this stretch:

Shaktar v City Wed 12/6 (trip away to Ukraine but a meaningless trip but still a long way to travel)

United v City Sun 12/10 (United are at home on Tuesday in a meaningless match and face an absolute must win)

Swansea v City Wed 12/13 (Fixture list piling up and City will start the christmas run here, three straight away)

City v Tottenham Sat 12/16

Leicester v City Tue 12/19

City v Bournemouth Sat 12/23

Newcastle v City Wed 12/27

Palace v City Sun 12/31

City v Watford Tue 1/2

9 matches in 27 days with an average rest of three days. If Guardiola gets away with 20 points out of the 24 on offer I will be shocked. I predict a step back and 15 out of 24. Loss at United. Draws with Tottenham and Watford.

If Mourinho can close the gap to 4 points by new years day I think we have a brilliant title race on offer. I would back Mourinho in this situation IMO because Pep and City will have to take the CL seriously and I can see them making the semi's. Don't think United will make it that far in the CL and quiet frankly I would prioritize the league this year over the CL.

Can't tell if you left Chelsea-Swansea off intentionally

I would say in the Holiday Fixture glut Chelsea have:

Swansea (H) - 3 Points are a must
Newcastle (H) - 3 Points are a must
Atletico (H) Meaningless unless you want to win group
West Ham (A) - Should be 3 based on West Ham's Form
Huddersfield (A) - A few days after West Ham and a North England Opponent should be 3 but a draw not out of question
Southampton (H)
Bournemouth (H) - Carabao Cup Fixture (I would think Conte will rest a number of regulars for this match)
Everton (A) - Not sure how Everton's form will change with Big Sam in charge but we have taken 2 wins this campaign
Brighton (H) - Boxing Day matches haven't gone our way the past few years
Stoke (H)
Arsenal (A) - Last match in the fixture glut and the toughest by far. Hoping we get the return match draw at the Emirates

Not sure what ManU's away fixture is but with only 4 away fixtures and two of them being in London makes this a little more bearable. I would think to be in the race in January we need to take 25 out of 30. Otherwise it will be a two team race between the Manchester clubs.

Glad to see Spurs choke again.

^ nah I was just looking at where City can drop points as the rest are obviously playing some catch up. I still think pool and chelsea have an outside chance but I don't see the consistency from those two teams to catch up to City. United has actually had a brilliant start by our standard. Only 3 of Sir Alex' 13 title winning sides had this kind of start sitting at 32 points after 14 matches. If it wasn't for City breaking records United's start would be a really good one.

The knee jerkers think the title race is over but Pep's teams do struggle on the backend of the season and they will drop points. If they don't then obviously they deserve the title.

Very open World Cup draw, no real group of death.

England couldn't have asked for a better group. Panama, Tunisia, and Belgium should be good fixtures. Belgium v England the final fixture of that group is spicy. Most likely for the top spot so could be a nice matchup.

Two groups really stand out to me though:
Group D: Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria. Some exciting matchup potential here. Lots of talent and of course Argentina should top the group but they are often hit or miss and I think both Nigeria and Iceland can be stubborn opponents. I think it will be close.

Group H: Poland, Senegal, Colombia, Japan. This is the group of death if I had to pick one. All of these teams have a chance to claim any of the top 2 spots and I think this may be the closest/most exciting group in terms of who will get those spots. Would be nice to see Colombia and Senegal move on.

Brazil, France, and Russia got these easiest groups and we will certainly get a marquee round of 16 matchup with Spain/Portugal, England/Belgium, and Germany/Mexico in the same groups. Brazil vs Mexico or Brazil vs Portugal in the 16 would be pretty epic.

My dark horse for the Tournament is Senegal or Nigeria. I think Senegal has a strong shot at the semi final depending on who they can draw later on. Would also be nice to see England make the semis but probably too lofty of a goal right now for us. I think we will see a shake up with South American and African teams doing well in this tournament.

My pick to win it all this year is Brazil or France. The French probably have the best talent.

19-3 GD in the 6 games since Spurs loss, 16 points out of 18. Mostly without Mane playing well. Today should've been the 4th clean sheet but Brighton got a joke of a penalty decision. Feel good man.

I thought Arsenal played well. De Gea had a master class and that is the difference a world class player brings to your team. United also did extremely well to force Arsenal into mistakes in the first 20 or so minutes. The press was working really well and we were clinical.

Pogba missing for the derby is going to be a big miss but this sets us up nicely to force a title race. Happy so far.

Doesn't matter how "easy" the group is, they'll find a way to fuck it up. Prob gonna be a 0-0 game, a 1-1 game, and a 1-0 game to have them squeeze by in second place to the round of 16.

Oh I don't doubt it but its better than having Germany, Spain or Brazil in your group. I would be happy if England were to make the quarters. Round of 16 is likely how far the team will go. Either way I think we have a decent shot at the quarters because finish 1st or 2nd we get someone from Group H. Likely Colombia if we finish 2nd and likely Senegal if we finish 1st. Then the quarterfinal would likely be Brazil or Germany and that is where England gets dumped. Best case scenario with the talent and manager in the current team.
