Not a shock- Chelsea were the first team to field a complete non English side. Can't recall the year but I think it was back in the Ken Bates era under Gullit

Good call on seeing the replay

After seeing more replays at half time, it should have been a red card and a free.

The Manchester clubs have between them not won even a single one of the last 8 league games in Manchester.

Liverpool

Robbie Savage single handedly makes BT sport score unwatchable

Palace have not conceded yet! :eek:

West Brom have sort of snuck up haven't they?

Always love the lads in the crowd celebrating with two crutches over their head.

Harry Kane 6 goals in 5 games now I believe!

Goal for sunderland, looked the better side in the second half when they got forward

Manchester United

Huth own goal lol bit of karma

The Leicester sorry is so remarkable.

Won a league out of the blue, walking through their Champions League group but looking like they'll get relegated in the league.

It's not like they won a WC either, where you only have 6/7 games and can effectively not win a game in the KO stage and win through.

To win a league as they did, you can't do it with luck.
They were so solid all season.

Now after nearly half the season they have 13 points.
Quite remarkable.

They're showing no urgency whatsoever to get back into this match too. Whatever they had is well and truly gone.

Closer to a third than half a season but yes it's remarkable.

Assuming they get nothing today. Theyll Be 16 points Worse off than this time last Season.

McClean should have seen red too I think. He purposely kicked the ball at Pereyra.

Yup kante.

Sunderland have improved a lot with Moyes it has to be said.

Well I don't know how I could forget that!

Watmore got chopped down by Fuchs(not intentional) foot was planted and immediately signalled the bench. Stretchered off...not good has been immense here.

GavRedKing

Kantes had a similar effect on Chelseas fortunes too.

Hes been an amazing signing for what is probably a bargain in the grand scheme of things.

Hes by no means faultless, he gives away a few stupid passes but his positives far outway the negatives.

Toobz

Pickford, unbelievable last min save! Fantastic performance from Sunderland all round. For all the stick Moyes gets their football is much better these days.

Tbf you can only beat what is put in front of you and they weren't even doing that.

Moyes is a good manager. He's just on the receiving end of the fact that a lot of people rate you as either a genius or inept with nothing in between.

He was never as good as some people suggested he was at Everton and United bore that out. Likewise he's not as bad as some people tried to paint him earlier this season.

To paraphrase Dunphy, he's a good manager, not a great or hopeless manager.

Alexis with a brilliant hat trick. 2 great strikes and then a cool finish. Although the last one should have been ruled out for offside.

So? The ball was in play, he can kick it wherever he likes.

MOTD just showing the Sheikhy v Chelski game. De Bruyne's miss at 1 - 0 was criminal. The defending from both teams was atrocious, but Chelsea were clinical today.

No, just in general. Didn't see the incident but I think he's a clown anyway.

Chris Sutton. Shearer's former Blackburn strike partner and did well at Celtic alongside Hartson. Decent pundit, he used to be on BT Sports quite a bit

he's pretty boring.

was great at Norwich too, and was a decent centre half

Pardew constantly gets these breaks, whereby he looks completely finished then a team will roll up and defend atrociously. The FA cup final papered over a lot of cracks for him

Don't worry, his next 10 game winless run is never too far away.
