I just watched Brentford lose at home to Middlebrough. Bastards.
Fuck me though, the beards on show. Footballers - stop it. -

Sammy Ameobi now has two goals in 45 league appearances for Newcastle. That's positively Altidore-esque.Comment

I made my first sighting of a hipster-bearded cabbie this week. That's got to signal the end of it, surely?Comment

It's the beards with the 1940s haircuts and sleeve tattoos that drive me over the edge.
Still, could be worse.

Man Utd have picked nine of their 11 players in their proper positions. What the hell is going on?Comment

Neat finish by the Leicester number 5. Wrong end, mind.Comment

4 of the 10 QPR have lost have been in London. It's not like they're getting travel sick.Comment

leeds lost 14 of the 21 away games when they were defending their title. They drew the other seven.Comment

A cursory flick through my all-time book of league tables suggests no-one's ever suffered this fate in the top flight. Among those who have in lower divisions include Doncaster Rovers, Crewe Alexandra, Nelson and Loughborough Town. None since 1931.
Leeds United do hold the worst away record in the top flight, just one draw on the road in 1946-47. At Brentford, fact fans.Comment

In the battle of the oil clubs, Silva equalises after a goalkeeping clanger by Courtois, who appeared to be channeling the spirit of Christopher Reeve.
Hilarious sight of Ivanovic, standing on the line, claiming for offside.Comment

Cripes, that was dismal. First Man Utd goal was probably offside, but who cares; it made no difference to the result and it was bloody amateurish to lose the ball in midfield like that. Kramaric has looked like a good player so far, but a defeat like that will do nothing for his confidence. Leicester heads have generally held up well for the last couple of months, but they may need a bit of picking up now.
Also, who knew that Paul Jewell was an extremely entitled Chelsea fan?Comment

City are outplaying Chelsea comprehensively, so expect the latter to score soon, probably through a deflection.Comment

Come on City, put us out of our misery.
Surely Derby's away record must've been pretty horrendous the season they won only one match and finished on a grand total of eleven points? Ditto Sunderland a couple of years before - and Stoke back in 1984-85?Comment

How many fouls do Matic and Ramires have to commit before they get booked? Ten each?Comment

Matic & Ramires have mastered the art of clattering into players, then stumbling over themselves, making the contact seem innocuous. Brazil did pretty much the same trick last summer. It's effective, I'll give it that.
Of course, every time Hazard is fouled, there's a posse of Chelsea players over to the referee.Comment

Leverkusen-Dortmund has not been a classic.
Fiorentina desperately need a finisher, and I'm not sure that Gilardino can do it anymore.Comment
