I was struggling to understand United formation and personnel, ditto against Newcastle
I was confident they would finish above us after they beat us, and felt the same after they got that lucky win against Norwich. But now, I really don't know. We certainly have the better manager and maybe the better squad, maybe

We haven't got a better squad. Conte would have this Yanited team comfortably finishing 4th and possibly 3rd had he taken over them when he came to us.

I think United's squad is massively overrated. Apart from Varane and their forwards, they're mostly dross. de Gea has been great this season, but who knows when he reverts to being terrible again.

Fair comment, I really don't know who's got the better squad, but wouldn't argue with your analysis

Some are overrated but it’s still a better squad than ours. Pogba and Fernandes are overrated but still comfortably better than anyone we have in the same positions for instance

Brighton player arrested on suspicion of sexual assault released under investigation

A Brighton & Hove Albion footballer arrested on suspicion of sexual assault in October has been released under investigation. The footballer was arrested alongside a man in his 40s after a woman was allegedly attacked in the Sussex city on October 6. Both men were released on conditional bail...

Bissouma's bail extended to the 27th so very unlikely that he'll be going anywhere in January now.

Fernandes, yes. Pogba? Yes, but only when he turns up, which is rarely.

Don't know where to put this, but Spurs Leicester rearranged 19th.
Foxes fans are moaning so good news for us I hope?

They have 4 Prem matches from 11th-23rd January.

They get an extra day's rest than us before our match, and their previous match is Burnley while ours is the NLD. So I think we're the ones who are worse off!

Yep, good points. But they are missing AFCON players, plus lots of others out. So they may be more stretched than us.
We'll see how it goes. I expect us to lose to Chelsea but if we beat these and Arsenal, we're very much in top 4 race
Still don't think we'll make it, but might be changing my mind after 19th??

Leicester Everton postponed which I find very strange as they only played yesterday no? Could have ramificatiosn for next weeks games but I suspect we will be ok - all depends on what grounds they had for postponing the game.

Foxes reason was they couldn't raise a team. Strange how they beat Watford 4 1 without a team ?
I've no doubt they will play us, but they will have had much more rest than us.

Turns out all the Liverpool “positives” were false positives, except for TAA…

It’s screwed over Arsenal so fine, but something doesn’t see right here. A bit like their asthma problems.

Lasagne had already been done so Asthma was the next logical step.

Not in the UK no

Everton v Leicester was meant to be, wasn't it? How the fuck can it be that hard for Sky or BT to switch main games
