Like many of us have been warning, this league has never had the type of parity it has now. Top 6 is going to be harder than ever before, let alone top 4. Everton without EL to contend with will be right there with us, Swansea, Southampton, Liverpool, and West Ham fighting for those 5-10 spots. Injuries, form, and new signings contributing will be what decides who finishes where.

As usual when things go wrong delusion sets in

Mourinho is saying they are playing well but they are unlucky such as Besic gets injured and Naismith comes on

He is also saying that they are having shots but they are hitting defenders

They had 2 shots on target all match

Breaking into the top six has never been easier. The problem is we aren't very good. The rest of the league hasn't become tougher. We've become weaker. Annoyingly a lot of the top teams seem to have lost their identity over the last two or three years. Had we kept ours we could have taken advantage and established ourselves in the top four.

I totally disagree that the rest of the league hasn't become tougher. Look at the quality of players going to far smaller clubs than us. Players like Ayew, Rondon, and Cabaye. Clubs like Swansea, West Brom, and Palace could've never afforded players like this in the past before the explosion in television money.

I do agree that we are weaker now, though, than at any point in the last 5 years or so.

Palace look exceptionally good thus far this season. What a difference an experienced player like Cabaye can be for a team with pace that works hard off the ball.

I saw some spurs fans blaming Levy being not ambitious enough because he doesn't take the chance to being Shaqiri to the club few weeks ago.
Well, there is a reason why he falls from Bayern to Stoke

League is going to be over early this year by the looks of it.

Iheanacho scores for City to win them the match. Apparently he's insane.

Shame for Palace.

Now, Man Utd will have their best attacking game without Rooney. It'll be awkward for most of the press tomorrow.
