Your being proved correct Houdini

Chelsea 2-1 up now with only a few minutes to go. It's been quite an even game so far.

Good game, Arsenal a lot easier on the eye than Chelsea but they should have been well beaten today - Morata had an absolute mare.

 

Anyway, good result for the rest of the Top 4 challengers as everything is well up for grabs. Hoping West Ham can get a result tomorrow night...

That was a terrible miss from Morata at the end. I'm glad that it ended in a draw, it keeps us in 2nd place which we might as well consolidate now if the title is gone which looks almost certain at the moment.

It's gone as even if Man City do slip up (which they will) there is no way Man Utd have the legs to catch them. No way.

 

You're in the battle of Top 4 like the rest of us!

Quite a good game tonight between Arsenal and Chelsea but not the result they really wanted.

It was game of the season for me - fantastic watch!

 

Good result for Liverpool and the rest tonight with Spurs drawing at home - 2 fine goals in the game!

Spurs still really struggling at Wembley then!

 

Both those goals tonight were fantastic, especially the Obiang one.

Yeh great goals!!

Bye bye Mark Hughes

Was inevitable that Mark 'Sparky' Hughes would be sacked following that 2-1 defeat to Coventry in the FA Cup. Stoke look in real trouble at the moment. Look a shadow compared to a couple of seasons ago with their 9th places.

 

 

They got rid of too many of their reliable guys like Jon Walters and Glenn Whelan who had been there since promotion in 2007!

Sadly the most deserved sacking of the season that's for sure, taken them backwards the past few seasons. How Berahino is stll employed as a professional footballer is mystifying...

Hughes has been walking the plank for a while now, I think he just completely lost the dressing room. He's made plenty of terrible buys across the past couple of years too.

 

I think there is still a player somewhere in Berahino, but he has clearly lost every bit of confidence he had.

Fraudulent investigation into Chelsea's signing of Ross Barkley then... I may be being biased as a Chelsea fan, but surely it wouldn't have been made so public if it was fraudulent. Unless I've misunderstood, his contract was due to run out in the summer, hence his value will have dropped considerably in those 4-5 months since the previous deal had been agreed. In the summer he was in talks with both Chelsea and Tottenham - he agreed with Chelsea but after the medical decided he needed more time to think about it. I have no reason to doubt that. The Everton chairman himself even said that was the case. So this fraud case will unlikely find there was fraudulent activity.

Well think about it.. Barkley is not able to play and Chelsea have saved £20m by waiting 4-5 months. Personally I suspect something fishy went on, but this sort of stuff happens all the time. Either that or he just couldn't pass his medical.

 

The Everton chairman is completely bonkers though, he contradicts himself just about every time he speaks.

Really very odd but £15m is a fair price for a truly overrated player given the current climate over transfer fees

Oh I can see the logic, but Farhad Moshiri coming out and saying what he did at the time kind of nullifies any claim that they could possibly have.

I think Manchester City's unbeaten record in the league could come to an end tomorrow at Anfield, they have a poor record in that stadium over the past few years and Liverpool and their fans will be pumped up for the match.

Let's hope so!!
