I hope Rodgers doesn't go back to managing Swansea and in fact I hope he never manages anywhere again and goes somewhere where no one ever has to listen to him talk or see his awful face ever again.

I want him back and Joe and Sinclair and Michu and Chico, all the old "cliques" that were kicked out of the club for being "disruptive".

My favourite thing about Leicester's current form is seeing Lawro predict them to lose every single week on the bbc sport site and get it wrong each time.

Not my observation, but this is a pretty interesting stat:

Seven Premier League teams have allowed 20+ goals so far this season. They're currently sitting 20th, 19th, 18th, 17th, 16th, 15th, and 1st.

Wasn't this the season where we went 19 games without winning so he ended up picking us to win every week on the basis we couldn't possibly gently caress it up again?

You'd think a season where you break two records would be good, but "longest run of games without winning" and "longest run of games with only 1 win" not so much.

Does he realise that you can't insure a club against relegation so his magical plan of torching it for the insurance won't work out how he was hoping

oh he's not torching it, we just have a constant cycle of bringing in players to play alongside poo poo players, so the new ones become poo poo by osmosis

we ship out the worst, sell the best, and all that's left are damaged goods to damage some more goods coming in

i'm sure he'll spend 30m or so in january like the darren bent transfer to keep us up

It's going to be a really fun relegation battle.

Out of all the teams likely to be fighting it out I actually back Bournemouth to be the team most likely to pull away from the rest. They play good football, have their best players injured, and have money to spend in January. Also Eddie Howe seems pretty competent.

Sunderland are gone imo. A squad filled with little talent and players that should have been moved on a long time ago. Allardyce is good in these situations but there is too much work that needs doing.

Villa are probably going down too. Similar to Sunderland in terms of squad quality but will probably spend even less in January.

Norwich or Newcastle will be 18th. The former is lacking quality at the back and the latter has a terrible manager.

newcastle have been incredibly poo poo at times this season but its usually only for half of a match which loses it like against watford/man city but since Colback got injured we've been loving awful because there is no central midfielder who makes themselves available for a pass and then moves forward a bit and passes the ball forward. all attacking play comes from the wings including the full back making the team really easy to counter attack and every team knows it. wijnaldum looked completely lost playing there yesterday since its the first time he's had to since we signed him

last i read bournemouth had conceded the most goals despite not letting many attempts on goal compared to most of the other teams so their keeper must be really poo poo
