I wonder if Norwich will sack Hughton in the next week. 5 big fixtures coming up.

They have:

Southampton A
Sunderland H
Swansea A
West Brom H
Fulham A

Followed by:

Liverpool H
Man United A
Chelsea A
Arsenal H

If they don't pick up around 10 points from those first 5 they are going to have to pull out at least one amazing result from those last four... and there's only Man United who will probably have nothing to play for.

A fair few goals today, Fulham look dead now though. Please take points off Chelsea Spurs!

Don't ever rely on Tottingham for anything. D:

Barca really are handing La Liga to Real on a silver platter. Dropping points in games they should be expected to win at a canter.

Should have picked up two new CBs, kept Thiago, relegate Xavi to the bench and stayed away from Neymar.
 
Fuck, United beat West Brom.

I'm scared now.

It means next to fuck all in the context of the battle for places, but I'm a bit worried that it'll give them confidence going into our match, which they should already be fired up for. Then again, they've had results like this a few times this season I think, and followed them up with turgid displays. We'll see, way too tough to call one way or another.

Just to be sure ... fighting bosses in Dark Souls works just like everything else, right? You die, you have to restart from the nearest bonfire, no exceptions?

Birmingham are 18th, 6 places off bottom, yet have the worst home record in the league (2 wins in 17) and Lee Clark isn;t even close to being sacked

I thought Jupp was hyping up Tata? What happened? The only reason Barcelona's season isn't over already is that they got to face another shit South American manager in the CL.

Look at the CB he has available: Piqué, Bartra

Look at the striker options he has: dead Messi

how much do you want him to do in his first season, without pre-season and this is his first season coaching an european team!
 

That defensive line is 45 yards from their own goal :s

They needed bolsetring at CB. That much was obvious, and has been for a long time. They should have stopped playing Xavi every minute of every game, and increased Thiago's gametime.

Neymar is making less and less sense. The way he plays, the holes in his game, he's clearly a project. But you don't spend £60m+ to the detriment of the needed improvements in other areas on projects. Stupid signing, only did it in the misguided desperation to act like they'd beaten Madrid to the punch.

Not helped by Messi struggling badly to stay fit, and regain consistency since he came back.

And Sanchez on the bench? The fuck is that all about? Unless Chile's recent friendly was played on Neptune, he should be starting every game.

Fixed.

Lol, even if I was in charge Barca would still do no worse than 3rd.

They aren't strikers, tho. They are wide attackers

Because I saw what he did in Newell's, he's legit

Yes. But by the time you reach one, you've already unlocked a few shortcuts or a REALLY close bonfire.

Tata, pls. Why leave Alexis on the bench. Hell, Barca don't even need classy CBs. Just bloody good ones would do.

I don't understand it. Puyol has been their best centreback over the last what, 7 years? And they can't be bothered to just slightly sacrifice their stupid philosophy, and find a similarly rugged, no-nonsense centreback because the ones who are good at it are either not brilliant tiki-taka-twats, not from Catalonia, or cost too much for the complete package.

So they wilfully sit on their thumbs, conceding shitty goal after shitty goal, trusting the attackers to score more than shite like Pique cost them. And when that doesn't work, when Messi isn't on it, when Neymar shows why there were legitimate question marks over his ability to perform at the top level of the European club-game, we see what's left. Limp defeats to 17th place Real fucking Valladolid.

Barca wants to buy no less than Thiago Silva

which will not fucking happen, PSG won't sell

?? That will be easy. We will lose the league by losing against another relegation contender.

big talk coming from someone who has just lost back to back away games for the first time in 5+ years
