Liverpool become first PL club to pay "living wage" to all employees - full and part time. Will add about a million to wage bill which shows how scandalous it is to have taken so long. Chelsea and Everton have committed to same.

Yep, crazy you can have someone at a company earning minimum wage maybe on a zero hour contract and someone else there earning 250k per week.

Fair play.

Always feel for the stewards in the away end. They get paid minimum wage and they have to deal with the worst of the craziness from fans.

Afternoon on FIFA playing with City and Barcelona for you I suppose so. I'd rather watch live sport. Will be at least as much excitement today as there will be when Jose gets its claws into tomorrow's game

It's Stoke against Leicester and when I posted that it was absolute tripe.

Does it make me too much of a glory hunter to say that I was right and these games are boring crap. One goal in four games in forty minutes.

Such a stupid comment but given your follow up to it it makes sense.

If Southampton had a goalscorer they'd be a really good side. I've seen them dominate a few games this year but they really struggle where it matters most.

Spurs

And Burnley score with their only shot on target.

They're like Ireland in club form, feck all possession, very few shots, but make themselves ridiculously hard to beat.

If they close it out up to 6th level on points with Chelsea and arsenal. 3 ahead of Liverpool. All those to play obviously but still an excellent return by them.

If Chelsea and arsenal lose, they'll be level with those two and most likely level with Liverpool. It's no wonder Dyche is being mentioned for jobs elsewhere.

Big goal for Bournemouth. Think Newcastle look the weakest of the promoted sides for me this year.

No doubt he's doing amazing with that club. In fairness the club deserves a lot of praise for sticking with him when they went down a few years ago.

Mane being back should ensure a win for liverpool.

If you go through that Burnley team its a load of championship players as that's generally all Burnley as a club can attract.
Pope signed from Charlton, lowton villa, tarkowski Brentford, mee man city reserves, ward Brighton, cork off Swansea wasn't getting much game time, Hendrick derby, wood Leeds, gudmundson Charlton, Brady Norwich. He is under massive constraints with the players and types of clubs he can buy from. Summer just gone they couldn't hold onto their two main players Keane and gray.

Super effective counter attacking team based on high pressure, did you watch Villa under MON
Both teams struggle to break down sides that dont come at them

theoneeyedman

Really poor game. Liverpool performance just OK, but won pulling up while never getting out of second gear. West Ham very very poor. Bilic is a gonner, he won't see the weekend out. They even made Oxalade-Chamderlain look competent.

That'll do.

West Ham used to be decent team. Relegation fodder these days.

retalivity

Surely thats the end of bilic. That first half was pathetic

Turtyturd

Good stuff. Just like Aston Villa.

Go through every team's fixtures of who they have played this year, do out a revised table based off this, then we can use that table and this year's fixture list to get the ultimate alternate table. I'd say ye are topping it, your year

Half way stage is the first time you can make a some way fair comparison of sides when everyone has faced everyone once.

United have

Chelsea (a)
Newcastle
Brighton
Watford (a)
Arsenal (a)
City
Bournmouth
West Brom (a)
Burnley

Six of top current 10

Liverpool have

Southampton
Chelsea
Stoke (a)
Brighton(a)
Everton
West Brom
Bournemouth (a)
Swansea

Two of current top 10

Any alternative table would have them closer than the current one.

Really? Maybe I mixed him up with someone else, although my point still stands. Gauging differences between 2 teams abilities from thier oppositions positions in table after 10 games is silly. Especially when u don't take account for the oppositions opposition

Your arbitrary lines are stupid especially when 3 points separates 7 team's and takes no account of the difficulty of each individual teams opposition and its a tiny uneven sample size, it's not even worth mentioning it's so bloody pointless.
