Hmm, sounded like a thriller at the Villa again today.

Diego Costa is fast becoming my favourite non Norwich player. Constantly on the wind up

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 01 Jan 2015, 5:59 pm

Love sacks. Thats the bubble burst then with these last three.

Harry Kane lolz

by sportform Thu 01 Jan 2015, 6:00 pm

Fantastic goal by Harry Kane.

by NickisBHAFC Thu 01 Jan 2015, 6:02 pm

What a goal. Harry Kane really does tick a lot of boxes to be an exceptional premiership striker. He's English always a bonus.

by Fernando Thu 01 Jan 2015, 6:03 pm

In even more good news for John,

Steven Taylor is now out for the season after rupturing his achilles tendon

by Guest Thu 01 Jan 2015, 6:16 pm

Suicidal

Even worse, means that complete donkey f**k up Williamson plays for the rest of the season.

What a start to the f***ing year!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 01 Jan 2015, 6:19 pm

Wassgornon spurs haven't even played well Laugh

by kingraf Thu 01 Jan 2015, 6:32 pm

Lampard is gonna be the difference between the two teams this season... If only Chelsea had a player on the bench who could score ten a season, about half of them being matchwinners

by Duty281 Thu 01 Jan 2015, 6:39 pm

Chelsea will still be champions this season - they are just having a minor blip on the road to success.

by Duty281 Thu 01 Jan 2015, 6:41 pm

Oh that is delicious by Harry Kane. 4-1.

It's a bit more than a minor blip Duty, i'm just peeved as a United fan that we've dropped stupid points against Villa and Stoke while we should have been out of sight against Tottenham.

by kingraf Thu 01 Jan 2015, 6:49 pm

Crystanbul was a doozy. Hurrikane is a rank effort on par with RvW's efforts on goal

by Hammersmith harrier Thu 01 Jan 2015, 7:05 pm

I'm guessing nothing will be done about that Cahill boot.

#BringBackCech

by Guest Thu 01 Jan 2015, 7:11 pm

Remember when City were finished when Aguero got injured & Chelsea had already wrapped the title up & had it engraved.

What a game by Spurs

by kingraf Thu 01 Jan 2015, 7:16 pm

Chelsea went wrong by giving Terry a new contract too soon...

by mystiroakey Thu 01 Jan 2015, 7:29 pm

Brilliant performance by kane and chadley.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 01 Jan 2015, 7:42 pm

Chelsea have been very shaky at the back this season, now only one less conceded than United's.

Cahill was atrocious today

by kingraf Thu 01 Jan 2015, 7:53 pm

Courtois is having his settling in season, much like De Gea had last season. But with a worldie like Cech on the bench, and Chelsea actually challenging for honours this season, don't know how long Mourinho persists.

by JDizzle Thu 01 Jan 2015, 8:52 pm

Mourinho would be a fool to drop Courtois. He's been one of the three best keepers this year. He's not even close to being one of Chelsea's problems. Cahill and Ivanovic have been rank defensively this year. Zouna's promising, but big money will spent on a CB this summer. At the latest.

by **hampo17** Thu 01 Jan 2015, 9:23 pm

Few reports that Gerrard is set to sign for LA Galaxy and will move at the end of the season, the deal could be announced tomorrow.

by Fernando Thu 01 Jan 2015, 9:34 pm

Can't blame the guy, Think last season's collapse has taken a toll on him tbh. Deserves a nice pay day. Apparently NYC FC are interested too...Id love to see Gerrard at Citeh on loan just for the reactions of Scousers if that happened Laugh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 01 Jan 2015, 9:53 pm

"@TonyBarretTimes: Steven Gerrard is set to announce that he will leave Liverpool at the end of this season. MLS is his most likely destination."

Good news for Liverpool, and Gerrard. Makes sense all round

So next year the New York midfield will be Gerrard & Lampard, it worked so well for England for ten years.

by mystiroakey Thu 01 Jan 2015, 10:10 pm

Don't be surprised if lamps stays at city for another year..

by NickisBHAFC Thu 01 Jan 2015, 10:23 pm

Lampard deserves another year at City. Hardly been bad for them!

by Hammersmith harrier Thu 01 Jan 2015, 10:38 pm

His goals have been massively important in recent weeks but I don't think his overall play has been that great, they do get over run in Midfield a bit with him on the pitch.

by NickisBHAFC Thu 01 Jan 2015, 10:48 pm

Harry Kane really is class. How people don't rate him and don't want him in the England set up is quite beyond me.

What a game of football

by Hammersmith harrier Thu 01 Jan 2015, 11:00 pm

It's a combination of apathy, trepidation and not wanting to get ahead of ourselves, he's on a good run of form but it's far too early to say he's class.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 01 Jan 2015, 11:05 pm

Good signs, but as HH says too early to go crazy yet over Kane. Tbf ings and Austin are doing just as well as him atm

by NickisBHAFC Thu 01 Jan 2015, 11:14 pm

How Leciester didn't win that game I'll never know. Screwed by the ref. Hopefully he gets demoted.

by kingraf Thu 01 Jan 2015, 11:17 pm

Citeh get overrun at midfield regardless. At least Lampard offers them an offensive threat. Fernando and Little Fernando are turnstiles

Kane has more potential than Austin but at this stage of the season i'd rather have Austin's 12 league goals than Kane's seven, his stats are helped by the league cup and Europa League. Not wanting to disregard either competition but they aren't the best indicator of class.

by NickisBHAFC Thu 01 Jan 2015, 11:29 pm

Arsenal's defending never fails to amuse me. Still think Arsenal will get 4th (as always) but must say Southampton did just look a much better football team than them.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 01 Jan 2015, 11:30 pm

Kane's also playing in a better team, better situation.

I like them all, but they're gonna have to do it a little more time before they're officially the next big things.

by NickisBHAFC Thu 01 Jan 2015, 11:30 pm

Also people who think Szenchy is world class keeper Laugh

I've removed it and placed it next to my Sean Dyche doll on my bedside cabinet Freek!

by kingraf Thu 01 Jan 2015, 11:36 pm

Austin turns 26 when next season starts. Is he young enough to be seen as the "next big thing"? Maybe he's more "Better than expected"? Harry Kane for my money has a higher ceiling, but Austin is operating at a higher level at the moment. To be so close to Costa on the charts while dragging that trainwreck is no mean feat.

hammersmith- austin has played in 1600 mins of league football- kane only 987

kane has scored everywhere he goes(all good stats at his loan clubs and england age levels- for example 8 in 10 for the under 21's)

kane is 4 years younger than austin

both have 3 premier league assits- kanes have been during 600 mins less

he has also scored 17 goals this season in only 100 more minutes than Austin's 12 in league(austin has only played league)-

Austin has also taken penalties- kane hasnt..

by super_realist Fri 02 Jan 2015, 9:08 am

Kane is looking the best English player in the Premier League by a million miles, and unlike most of them, doesn't appear to be a complete dick.

by mystiroakey Fri 02 Jan 2015, 9:46 am

I would say Rooney has played very well so far this season. but Kane for the minutes he has played in the league and his age is the shining light for English football. He looks the proper no 9. Like Carroll all those years ago but even better. fingers crossed for Kane..

#touchwood

Its a bit sad that the only reason he got his chance was due to totenhams ballz up signings last season.. No one at Tottenham thought he had potential(certainly not the fans)

It just makes me think- how many other English players could also be lighting up the PL given the chance. Chelsea has loads of them all hidden away...

What a game of football

What I liked about Harry Kane yesterday was the strength he shown against a physical Chelsea team. He wasn't going to get bullied of the ball. Agree it's too early to 'hail him as the new messiah' as we have seen plenty come and go. Good to see Jack Rodwell scoring yesterday. Kane does have plenty of talent though and it would surprise me if he went onto bigger and better things.

If Roy Hodgson was serious when he said he was going to pick the England team on form rather than reputation (not sure he has done that so far though) Kane should be a shoe-in for the next England squad. Would like to see England play Kane up front with Rooney behind in a deeper role and actually play some wide players to stretch teams.

I'm a QPR fan and Charlie Austin has been fantastic for us in the last two seasons but Harry Kane has much more to his game than Austin. Austin is more of a goal poacher. If I had to compare styles I would say Austin is more like Diego Costa and Harry Kane is more of an Ibrahimovich type of player.
