      And that "Manchester fellates Sheik Mansour" banner. Or whatever it says.

        Man United are going to win the league this year. Chelsea will bottle it like they did last year, and Man City are already collapsing like a pack of cards like they did in 2013.

        I've got a tenner on it. A whole tenner.

          Anyone still think Chelsea won't win the league this year?

          Of course they will. However, the joy of them doing so will be limited for neutral numpties like me. It'll be the equivalent of being made to watch Iain Duncan Smith and Chris Grayling being given lots of free money, beautiful girls and beer.

            The only vaguely acceptable and vaguely possible winners of the Premiership these days are the Arse.

              How can they fail to win it, given how ordinary everyone else is?

                This is a righteously excellent statement.

                Did Pat Murphy really say "One of David Pleat's favourite words is milky" or did I imagine it? He definitely referred to Rosický's "lovely head of hair" in the second half, which was sweet.

                  There are a lot of good English strikers in the Premiership right now, aren't there? Dwight Gayle, Harry Kane and Andy Carroll all look good. The you've got Danny Ings and Charlie Austin are also impressive, but doubt they're national team class.

                  Apologies if the above point has already been picked up by Football Focus.

                    They have mentioned it. You missed Saido Berahino, BTW.

                    What a great weekend's football.

                        Vaguely. Generally. Not making a claim for this season or owt.

                          Shurely shome mishtake.

                          Have to admit, however, that they saw off Man City impressively.

                          Thereby handing the title to the Chelsk.

                          Sigh.

                            Well, they aren't Chelsea, they aren't City and they aren't United.

                              Mike Dean awarding Arsenal a penalty in a game against a top four side? Some people round here must be horribly confused this evening.

                              After they were beaten by Stoke back in December, I had a sizeable bet on Arsenal finishing third. Price was high, as you could imagine, so I decided to avail. They always get back in the top four, but the collection of sides challenging for the CL spots this year are weaker than in recent years, and I don't think Arsenal have regressed so much. They're certainly nowhere as bad as they've been made out to be lately.

                                No, but they 'are' Arsenal.

                                  Quite, and yet of the 92 only MK Dons are less popular on OTF.

                                    91.

                                    Are Arsenal really unpopular on here?

                                      The Sheikh still allows the fans to drink beer? They should consider themselves lucky. The F1 drivers in Abu Dhabi have to celebrate their victory with some concoction of carbonated rose water, pomegranate juice and trinj.

                                        That's certainly my perception.

                                        I mean look at today, they've gone away to a team run by an oligarch and won impressively, playing a different style of football to usual, with barely a murmur of comment.

                                          They're baddies, man. Real baddies. Not obvious baddies, like City or Chelsea, but the sort of posh-sounding baddy that you think is a baddy but can't prove until the end of the film when it becomes clear all the bad things they've done.

                                                Yeah, but he's French and you LOVE the French. You'd love Marine Le Pen if it turned out she was French.
