Barclays Premier League 15/16

Solid. Took their foot off the gas late. Got Aguero some time so he'll be ready for Chelsea. Sterling was also solid but not spectacular his speed is frightening but needs to finnish
 
Didn't know Brad Evans' brother plays for West Ham.

Can't decide whether to make a joke over the typo or tell you I could've told you that re: sterling. Be glad he's not your main threat.

Typo ? Clearly I was making some sort of Jari Litmanen reference .... o_O

Seriously I expect big things from him. Maybe not quite 47 mil type things but it's not my money. Don't expect him to Push Aguero for leading scorer on the team though.

Feel similarly. I feel like the best players have incredible decision making abilities from the get-go, and Sterling's a little guileless in the final third. Quick feet, middle-paced footballing brain. Impressive agent?

West Ham pull out of a deal to sign Joey Barton due to fan opposition.

With the Hammers being my English team, a collective thank f*** is the general feeling.

Looking for a top 8 finish this season under Bilic hopefully, Ogbonna and Payet to be standouts....

There are a good 4-7 teams looking to squeeze into 2-3 spots in the top 8, depending on how many teams you count as automatics. The stakes aren't as high as the CL spots or avoiding relegation, but these are teams trying to solidify themselves as no-question-top-half for whom relegation is an afterthought. As my team is in that set I'm looking forward to it.
 
1-0 United at the end of the 1st half.......Januzaj in the 29'.

Villa should have had a PK when Richards got pulled down in the box. Don't know how that one was missed.
