KDB pulls one back before half time. His first goal in English football!

[Gazz]

West Ham 2-0 up at Man City...  

That will be because I transferred Hart, Kolarov and Kompany into my fantasy team.

You're welcome Hughes.

Yer dead to me.

[Gazz]

Also left Payet out because West Ham will never score against Man City.

[Nerf]

Urgh, the week I swapped out Eriksen for Yaya.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Jenkinson's wasted at least 5 minutes on his own here.

[Baddar]

No idea how they've managed to hold on to that one.

[Gazz]

It's Chelsea's year!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Well, Moses has proven his worth for the year

[stokeriño]

We have returned from the points deficit where some said we were definitely out of the title race to the points deficit where they previously said we were probably out of the title race! Hooray!

[DavidMarrio]

You'll be fine in terms of the title race as long as the refs keep failing to send Costa off for scratching/face slapping/flicking his leg out at people/just being an all round cunt 

[stokeriño]

I'm sure he credits his inspiration to his forerunners who proved that in the Premier League you could seek to provoke a player by biting him, stay on the pitch and go on to score a last-minute equaliser to boot.

[Gazz]

That second Bournemouth goal was a bit tasty

[MDK]

Holy shit just seen the Gabriel card. WTF.

Fucking hell, the more I see this the more I think 'Bollocks, if I'm getting a red for this shite, I might as well lamp him'

[MDK]

Fuck me, that second Bournemouth goal

[Nerf]

I'm sure he credits his inspiration to his forerunners who proved that in the Premier League you could seek to provoke a player by biting him, stay on the pitch and go on to score a last-minute equaliser to boot.

You forgot the part where the equalizer was 45 seconds after the allotted injury time was up!

 

Anyway, rumours of Sakho, Moreno and Sturridge all starting today, which are absolutely the right moves. A bit nervous about Sturridge bypassing the substitute return role completely, but hopefully he doesn't die. Taken Rodgers a bit too long to make the changes, but not so long that we can't make a real push for the top four now if Danny stays healthy.

I expect:

Mignolet
Clyne / Skrtel / Sakho / Moreno
Milner / Coutinho / Firmino / Lucas (or Can)
Sturridge / Benteke

Presumably the diamond returns. That's a tasty team on paper.

[Baddar]

Hope Liverpool win simply because I have a small bet on them.

Spurs v Palace has been largely uneventful. Son has looked bright, and Cabaye hit the post just before HT.

[Colly]

Finally saw the Costa thing. I'm actually a fan of him and his defender winding up ways, but he's got to be looking at at least a three match ban for either of the swipes at Koscielny, the chest barge or his silly whacks to Gabriel's back. All red worthy, Gabriel's bought it but it has to be retrospectively punished.

[DavidMarrio]

He also tried to flick his leg out at Oxlade-Chamberlain right before he got subbed off. 

Hoping we play a diamond today. If the sturridge rumours are true hopefully he'll start if not Benteke with Ings or Origi alongside him with Sturridge coming on would be good. 

We really need a win today, considering Arsenal, City, Swansea and Everton have all dropped points. We could move into 5th/6th by the end of the day. 

 

[GoGo Yubari]

OH SHIT, SON.

Now please don't instantly concede.
