Bought Falcao, sold Lukaku.
Who does the trading at Chelsea?

Dunno but with any luck they are after Rooney in January.

Leicester's Thai owner has just left. His helicopter takes off from the training ground about half a mile from here. Normally it heads off due south, but tonight it went north towards the stadium and did a couple of circuits. I think he might be quite pleased.

Oh dear - another dreadful night.

Well done to the Foxes - best (even without possession) for the first 60ish and then clung on last 25-30. How Costa and Brana didn't take their chances is beyond me.

Not sure what is happening tbh - cranked it up for Spuds and Porto and then it goes to rat crap again.

We seem to be so reactive these days - wait till the match is almost lost, shift into gear and then race against the clock to pull it out of the hat. Doesn't appear to be working at all - and nor should it. If we had come out of the traps as we finished (and we are capable of it) the game could've been won. Cest la vie.

Results notwithstanding it is genuinely fascinating to see how this situation plays out. We clearly need to clear out some players (Terry, Brana, Fab, Costa and dare I say it Hazard) and that won't really be possible until next summer. Personally I think we need to stick with Jose - no point in changing him at this point in the season. This is going to be one long season...

Just back from the pub ,may have had a shandy or two .
Were top of the league !!!! Unbelievable can this season carry on like this everything is going our way
Chelsea should have equalised but when it not going for you it Dosn't go in

I wish you all the best - see how the land lies around late Feb' and then you'll know whether or not you are in with a realistic tilt at the title.

I don't know enough about the Foxes squad depth and how they could cope with key player injuries?

Arsenal are pretty much up to speed and have a decent enough squad. City are a little up & down but have the squad to cope. I'd put money on one of these two going all the way.

Completely agree . are target was survival any thing else is a bonus, 5 points to safety . But after this start only a top 6 or 7 would be a let down .Can't believe I typed that disappointed with top 7 the world's gone mad
