The Round Ball Game

[zola]

New year,same old mixed fortunes.

Southampton 0 Chelsea 3. Forum derby,Blues 3rd Saints 9th,Torres scored the first goal by a Chelsea striker since Dec 2012

They haven't been quite that bad, the statistic is in fact the first away goal in the Premier Leaguesince Dec 2012 !

Just back from the pub having watched the English Champions. Poor display. Moyes has had a terrible, terrible year

It's been a good year for the Owls - so far!

The Owls have not really found a proper replacement for Peter Eustace, but they've had a fantastic year!

I was sure we would have beaten WBA!! Great that the Seagulls are close to the play-offs(again!! :) Liverpool(MrsBBM's team!!)

Once again that forlorn #3 stranded up field while he is needed defending (twice for goals), skinned by Aaron Lennon at will....once a good bit of cover for right back but lost an easy tackle....oh dear oh dear oh dear.....accident waiting to happen.....

Hiya Beef Oven!

I was due to go to the game with my son and some friends but a recent operation ensured that I had to let my ticket go. Probably as well owing to the terrible performance from United. The Fergie factor is missing and I reckon this was worth a couple of goals at home and maybe one goal away.

ahem, allez les bleus!

....Also the backroom staff that a manager has makes a difference....many of Fergies assistants still prominent in the game....I wonder about the quality of the people around Moyes....

I have the feeling that the special one is gradually driving out their inconsistencies.
Think they eventually need a replacement for Terry, and Lukaku back, but I wouldn't bet against them for the title.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Man Utd get in there, for the title.

Hiya Beef Oven! Good point! I think that Mike Phelan with all his experience was cast aside far too easily in favour of Steve Round who is clearly lacking, as is Moyes, in European experience.
