Not sure where else to put this, but just noticed Jason Steele appears to be Brighton's keeper at the moment.

How on earth has that happened?

Who would have thought that Pears would be our No1 keeper? I think he's better than TK.

Good, get em down.

Liverpool is a ridiculously small place to have two top PL Clubs.

[Mattyblue]

Liverpool are a club full of UK and foreign glory hunters, they don’t need the city itself to fill their ground.

Everton get their support from across Merseyside and north Wales (population of 2 million).

Like Manchester, it’s just a case of city council boundaries being tightly drawn, they have huge catchment areas and support bases.

Good to see Man City beating Liverpool. Liverpool need a mini overhaul and some new players in centre midfield like Bellingham from Dortmund and McAllister from Brighton

those losses are mouth watering and just shows how much of a mess they have been in over the last few seasons with spending money after money with no clear transfer plan or stability in the manager/head coach seat. If they go down then there is only one man to blame

Nobody despises the glory hunting hordes more than me (pathetic individuals who are trying to get some reflected glory in their sad little lives), but due to said millions of plastics across this country it’s not exactly a surprise that LFC can fill their ground even from a ‘small’ city, is it…

Not disagreeing with u just they are an English club playing in the English premier league.  Hate it when people bring the uk word into football.  Also the only reason the Welsh support united or Liverpool is because they think they have some god given right because giggs rush Hughes played for them both even though they are in a different country.  Just something I had to get off my chest as its a real pet peev

[Mattyblue]

UK is entirely appropriate in this context as there are a shed load of LFC glory hunters in Wales and NI.

They're proper plastics

Unbelievably tight at the bottom in the PL this season. Bottom 8 separated by just 4 points. Has the relegation race ever been so close?

Just picked up an assist ha!

Exciting Premier League season. 9 clubs in relegation danger. A genuine title race. Man U, Spuds and Newcastle battling for 2 CL places. Brentford and Brighton above Liverpool chasing Europe. 
 

And yet we’ve got Chelsea V Villa on Sky this evening. It’s possibly the only fixture possible in the entire Premier League that’s a dead rubber. 🙄🙄

only 4 points of European places(7th), so not a dead rubber at all.

That Brighton and Brentford stood out looking at the fixtures and I would have watched that had it not been for the rarity of Rovers playing at 3pm on a Saturday.

Not to their fans, but it’s hardly attractive viewing for the rest of us. “Ooh, which team might get into the Europa conference league.”

I’ve sat down, put the tv on, seen what game it is and turned it back off. Other than either of those teams playing Fulham, I couldn’t think of a more drab fixture with the league as it currently stands.

[Mattyblue]

Though, quite enjoyable seeing a club that has spent half a billion quid in two windows toil like this.

its been very entertaining game so far.

Chelsea need to bin Potter asap. He's just another manager that works wonders at a small club but can't cut it at the top level. 

0-2 down at home to Villa

Aye, not as if Liverpool is the third or fourth biggest city in England is it?
