At what point to Mazzari begin to feel a bit of pressure? I get that they're in 12th, which isn't bad for a team like Watford, but this isn't the first battering they've taken this season.

Who do you think will be the top four the current team that are there?
We still have the chance of Champions League football by winning the Europa League, it is always good to have multiple ways to reach your target!

We've never lost to Liverpool 9-1.
Lost 9-0 at Anfield in 1989 and 6-1 at Selhurst in 1994. Maybe the latter is what you're thinking of?

We aren't that great as it is but having so many injuries and out of form players only adds to the problem.

I'm biased obviously but that was incredible.

To be trumped by Giroud too whose not renowned for subtlety. Sensational. And onside.

Ah well at least that will kill off the argument over whether Mkhitaryans should be goal of the season.

It wasn't just the finish that was better either, the build up leading up to it was just absolutely lovely.
Obviously as a biased Liverpool fan, I'd love for Henderson vs. Chelsea to be goal of the season. But I can't argue if it's given to Giroud, everything about this goal was beautiful. Even the way it hits the underside of the bar.

Just waiting for bats to come and explain why Mhkas was better.

Just saw it, and it was a very good goal, and it probably is better than Miki's, so I will give him that.

He was making similar uttering the other day about something, may have been about players going to China. Best thing is for him not to make such comments.

Apologies, will teach me to listen to him indoors when he's still recovering from a good Hogmany. 😊

Swansea are a Championship club in the Premier League.

You want a club to be relegated just because you don't like the manager ?
Well Big Sam doesn't do relegation.

No chance
Big Sam will get them winning again. And will find the right players to buy in January
And him talking about the fixtures and it is all about money. He was only talking about why some teams are playing every two days and the rest playing every three with Tottenham and Chelsea playing on Wednesday having four days rest

Only Palace got less points than them in 2016, from the 17 teams that featured in the PL both this and last season.

Notts County fans may recall otherwise.
Well that is partly why Flores went..
Unfortunately having so many players injured (11 I think) and players out of form is hitting us hard now.
We need to get players fit or improve the squad generally this January otherwise we will be in trouble.

I was of course referring to the Premier League
Quote:
“In January 1997, Allardyce made his return to football as manager of struggling Division Two club Notts County.[64] He arrived too late to save them from relegation in 1996–97, and in his autobiography described how the players "would not respond" to his coaching methods as they went 18 games without a win and pressure mounted on Allardyce.[65] However he held on to his job, and led the club to promotion as champions of Division Three at the end of the 1997–98 season, built upon a three-man defence and a mid-season run of ten consecutive wins.[66] County broke several club and national records, winning the title by a 19-point margin and becoming the first post-war side to win promotion in March.[66]”
