Pellegrini please stop playing Navas......and take him with you in the summer...

How many chances are you going to give this guy..

[Hero]

I, like most people were expecting Leicester to begin to fade away, but it's starting to look very much that they'll get a CL spot, 8 points ahead of the 5th placed team which is West Ham.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

The way Stoke are playing, I see them as the biggest threat to the current top 4, especially Leicester, if they begin to fall apart.

Said this a while back & I fully stick by this comment, Stoke are the one to watch now. I might of been wrong about it being Leicester though, it might be Tottenham instead, who look lethargic & have hit a brick wall.

Not too sure about this from what I saw last night, they didn't impress me that much - before the red card it was pretty even. They lack the midfield to take the next step at the moment imo - if they still had N'Zonzi then I'd be on board with your bandwagon

[NickisBHAFC]

Still think that Marhez penalty miss against Bournemouth has given arsenal the title

[Guest]

And I still think that embarrassing Giroud miss last night, to complete his hattrick & give Arsenal the three points, will come back to haunt them & will probably give the title to Man City. City only three points behind Arsenal & you're more worried about a Mahrez miss......

[Ent]

Given how tight it is I don't think 1 miss has given anyone the title in a 38 game season.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

My bad, it was Stekelenburg, tired eyes saw the yellow on the fantasy football site.

Allardyce is wrong, anyway, Pantilimon was the reason they survived last year. 17 games this season, Sam has changed on him though. Still, he and Krul are both better keepers than Mignolet.

You need to get an eye check if you think Pantilimon is any good - he's just tall. Positioning woeful, too slow to get down to low shots, doesn't dominate like such a big man should. Not often I'm with crimey but am in this case

No chance. He was immense last season and has had to handle the most haphazard defence the Prem has.

[Guest]

to be honest, i can't off the top of my head, remember any howler's of his. judging him is impossible, given he's dealing with wes 'baked bean' brown, john 'i should be retired' o'shea, sebastien 'how on earth did i make it as a pro' coates & younes 'not sure how dolphin rates me' kaboul.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Its rated for Sunderland's level, and he probably is still their best centre back.

[Guest]

Awful from Allardyce & his signing of Kirchhoff looks terrible. Tottenham 4-1 Sunderland

[Guest]

Newcastle XI: Elliot, Janmaat, Mbemba, Coloccini, Dummett, Colback, Shelvey, Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Perez, Mitrovic

West Ham XI: Adrian, Tomkins, Collins, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Noble, Kouyate, Obiang, Payet, Valencia, Antonio.

[Guest]

Ayoze Perez gives us the lead

[Guest]

B'mouth 1-0 Norwich - Gosling
Newcastle 1-0 WHU - Perez
Southampton 1-0 WBA - Ward-Prowse

[Guest]

Wijnaldum makes it 2-0. Our front four looks quality & Shelvey has already made more penetrating passes, than Anita has done in over two years

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Shelvey playing fantastically, Wijnaldum scores from the exact scenario Colo just stopped Antonio scoring from. Usually when we lose we collapse so this could get messy

[Guest]

Newcastle have been playing well & have been waiting for things to finally click & do this to a side. Shelvey might be the answer, before him, they just had no central midfield whatsoever.

[Guest]

Southampton 2-0 WBA - Ward-Prowse

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Shelvey should have been booked already today and now chucks an elbow up.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I've no idea how Rudd wasn't sent off there

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Newcastle's tempo and the space we allowed Shelvey has really been the tale of the game. Combined with us playing like clowns

[Guest]

It's clear the antipathy of the stars for Jose's winning charm was the cause of the turmoil at Chelsea. What other conclusion could you draw the team is night and day since one guy left.

They really are awful still. We should of beat them in mid-week & by the sound of it, Everton are having no problems either with Chelsea today. Definitely not night & day, since Jose left.

[Guest]

Back in it, Dolph

[Guest]

Chelsea 0-2 Everton

[NickisBHAFC]

No signs of Chelsea turning a corner.

[Guest]

Chelsea 2-2 Everton - Costa & Fabregas

[NickisBHAFC]

Well that was fun

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

We stink - why the heck we haven't spent anything yet this window I dunno - like they have their heads buried in the sand just like the summer

[Guest]

No signs of Chelsea turning a corner.

Chelsea 2-3 Everton

[Guest]

Newcastle 2-1 WHU - Fantastic three points, wasteful in the second half though.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Didn't turn up today and didn't deserve even a goal. Couldn't match the tempo early and with Payet off his game we missed having a real striker and really missed Lanzini. By playing three deeper midfielders we were sat off Shelvey and he dictated the first half.

It's a shame, if we covered our gaps this month with a couple good signings we could really cause issues up there, but we will probably drift.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

What an awful penalty

[Hammersmith harrier]

About time they had somebody else taking their penalties, cost them a lot of points so far this season.

[GSC]

Perhaps harsh on Leicester but in the context of their revised ambitions that's 2 points dropped. Undone a lot of the good work they did midweek

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Just read that every team that played away today also played away midweek. Not 1 away win today and the 5 away teams conceded 19 goals.

[Ent]

Get real, leicster have been incredible. Even with Vardy back to himself picking up points.

[guildfordbat]

We stink - why the heck we haven't spent anything yet this window I dunno - like they have their heads buried in the sand just like the summer

Olly - sure I read a few days ago that you had signed some defender from Germany for about 8 million?

Nope nothing confirmed yet mate - meant to have had Naismith wrapped up for the past two weeks but nothing. No idea what's going on

[Hammersmith harrier]

So fouling Fellaini is fine but he touches anyone and it's an instant foul.

[NickisBHAFC]

Come on someone just 2 foot someone. Make the game interesting.

[Guest]

Painful first half to watch, especially from a United perspective.

[Crimey]

Not watched any United this year, apart from the two games against Liverpool, last time out they were pretty good. This time I understand the complaints, they're so sterile, no attempt to get forward and put pressure. Rooney totally isolated.

If Liverpool were better at finishing, think they'd be ahead already. Lucas has been very good.

[hampo17]

Can't shake the feeling we'll lose this via a flukey goal.

[NickisBHAFC]

2 boring sides putting on a boring game

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Lallana is just awful

[NickisBHAFC]

Roooooney

[Hammersmith harrier]

That is a very good finish but Liverpool must be awful to let Fellaini do anything half decent.

[hampo17]

Called that United would score some flukey goal, typical really.

[Hammersmith harrier]

How is that flukey, you couldn't deal with Fellaini in the air and it cost you.

[hampo17]

It's a rebound, hardly a world class finish is it? Sorry, but when you score a rebound there is a huge amount of luck in it.

Or do you think he meant to head it against the bar so it then fell for Rooney?

[NickisBHAFC]

Flukey? They've hardly deserved it, but it was a lovely finish by Rooney
