The toilet seat arena

Alberto Moreno is close to signing for Barcelona, according to reports. 😂

I haven't really followed the Prem this season so i have a few questions about the season

- Which danish player not named Christian Eriksen or Kasper Schmeichel have impressed? 
- Which team have been most disappointing?
- Which team have surprised the most?
- best outside top 6 rivalry?
- dirtiest player aka the Joey Barton Baton

1 - Tough to say. I've always quite liked Hojbjerg though

2 - Liverpool. They're doing too well

3 - Definitely Wolves

4 - Not rivalry as such, but the battle for 7th spot is going to be close. 6pts separating 6 teams at the moment

5 - The entire Liverpool squad

Seagulls vs Eagles aka Brighton vs Crystal Palace for definite

1. Philip Billing has been pretty decent in a woefully understrength Huddersfield team.

2. Everton haven't kicked on in their attempts to catch the big six, they're in the bottom half and couldn't defend a set-piece if their lives depended on it. Fulham have also being really underwhelming after spending £100m+ in the summer. Burnley have reverted to their mean of being poor after overperforming last season.

3. Definitely Wolves.

4. Mike Dean versus the World.

5. Liverpool have literally the best disciplinary record in the entire division. Man Utd have the worst. @Baddar lies.

I didn't realise that Chelsea were the only team without a red card (so far) this season.

It goes to show: if you don't want your players dismissed......build a team that almost any half-arsed counterattack can just walk through.

I wouldn't say Wolves have been a surprise. They've got some top class players. 

[Adam]

For them to be 7th though is still really good. Fulham spent loads of money and are awful, shows it takes more than just expensive/big name signings.

There's a case for Watford to answer that question though, they've been really consistent and Javi Gracia has really impressed as manager.

Everton are 1000% the biggest disappointment. So much money spent, and not any semblance of improvement overall really.

My mate told me about United v AC Milan at the Principality a few weeks ago. Didn't believe him til it got announced just now!

[Colly]

Never heard of it, is this like a poor man's Newcastle-Gateshead Cup?

[FLiam]

Tottenham's new ground.

[Baddar]

Got my tickets for the Milan game in the United end. Should be a fun evening out.

[Matt]

Why do Tottenham get a home game?

[Colly]

Newcastle got home games in the Newcastle-Gateshead Cup too.

Someone hasn't been keeping up with the news and actually meant to put Wembley.

It helps having spunked the cash when you were in the Championship to allow your team time to gel/steamroller shit teams and carry that momentum into the Prem.

Also helps to have a superagent on payroll too.
