    Well they've just played away to Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton and Newcastle, and at home versus Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Cardiff and Aston Villa.

    They drew Man City and Newcastle, lost by one goal to Everton and Tottenham. Beat Cardiff as they should do and lost out to a perfect Villa counter attacking display.

    Nobody has out classed them all year; Chelsea's 3-0 win was a faux domination because it could have easily been 1-0 or 2-1 or any combination of scores in Southampton's favour before Chelsea finally upped the ante. I think they will be comfortably top half and competing for the final European spot.

      Dundee United are interesting. They have 3-5 young players in the first team who many would say could become the best Scotland has produced in 20 years.

      Hibs have finally got a good manager again who should bring them the success they expect. Aberdeen are going through a revival as well. Motherwell are doing great on a modest budget, and Inverness are doing even better on a tiny budget.

      Hearts are trying to stay up after a 15 point deduction, but their miniscule chance of doing that is only because the teams above them are particularly inept themselves.

      Rangers are cruising through the league unbeaten, and have their sights set on knocking off some SPL clubs in the latter rounds.
      Lol @ not mentioning the team on a perfect run through the premier league.

        As I said, going through the motions. Listen, Celtic fans don't even care about Celtic. I think it's because of the recovering Irish economy. They've either gone home or those who remain are too busy obsessing over Rangers.

          I've got to imagine Moyes is looking at offloading many of the current squad, and bringing in some proven quality on the wing, in central midfield, and at centre back. Ross Barkley should be on the radar too; he's the best young player England has had since Wayne Rooney.

            It worked once..... so obviously lets try it all the damn time. Lol, only problem with that is, it only worked when Nani was way on form.

            Agreed. I think with SAF, this team would be 3rd at the absolute best. But Moyes just doesn't have that in him. He just is not getting it. You know who would be the ideal replacement for Raphael? His twin fucking brother Fabio, and started a CL final before Fag did. He is more married to traditional wing play than SAF was, yet his players are worse at it, and he won't play the one young kid with a bit of unpredictability on the squad because of rumours Wilf fucked his daughter. Lol.

            I have been sick all week, and completely slept through the game, but what can I say. Tottenham, Newcastle, Everton, and WBA have all won at OT this year. That's hilarious in itself. Pretty sure the season is toast now, it's all about weeding out the old guys, Rio, Vida, Giggs, Evra. But there is a problem, Moyes has already shown his incompetence in bring new players in. So...... yea......

              I rate Barkley very highly but I gotta go with Raheem



              When he improves his composure infront of goal he's gonna be really fucking special. Barkley is top class aswell but I think Raheem has the higher ceiling and that's not just because I'm a Red.

                        I think Aubameyang will fill in just fine for BVB at Striker, also hoping Kagawa will return.

                          As my favorite player playing for my favorite team, I'm also hoping Shinji goes back. Moyes has no clue what he is doing, and he won't be utilized correctly as long as he is in red.

                              Tough to say if Dortmund played the Lewandowski situation right. I've seen solid arguements both ways.

                                I would say, being that he's going to a direct rival for free... no they didn't play it right. I would've done everything I could to force him outside of Germany.
