Gonna be a borefest. All this big matches turn out to be so.

That said, if Conte wins, Chelsea is set to walk the league. :bow:

we utterly dominated them anyway, got robbed

1-2 would have been a fair result considering WHU got robbed of a crystal clear penalty :coffee:

Terrible finishing does not equal to being robbed

I believe it says we are the most dangerous offensive side in the league and the eye test could pretty much tell you this.

Surprised about Arsenal though.

knwing I cant see properly, I will still make an attempt. The number of goals scored by
Chelsea - 29
Liverpool - 32
ManCity - 29
Arsenal - 28

A difference of 4 goals between maximum and minimum in that table. So if you compare this table with RG's table, my eye test tells me the table by RG tells you loads of BS and is irrelevant in the larger picture.

If anything it says we're the most efficient side in the league. hmm

Maybe they should start changing their motto to "For once, can we just walk alone!"

exactly, if you combine both the tables, it makes little more sense. And I must say Arsenal are also in the title race :coffee:

Arsenal in November scored 10 goals off just 11 shots on target Laughing

That's how you explain those numbers.

Should be said if we continue in this way we'll be out the title race by March. We leak goals like crazy and can't be relied upon to grind out 1-0 wins all the time.

Found another gold about Pardew in an English newsapaper(Twitter say it is Times):

"When Alan Pardew sent on Lee Chung Yong for Christian Benteke last week, he asked his Crystal Palace midfielder to convey new instructions for set-pieces to the rest of the players. Apparently, with a limited grasp of English, whatever the South Korean understood to be the message went awry, leaving his team-mates confused about their new responsibilities.

Two minutes later Yaya Touré, who had been marked at previous set-pieces by Benteke, tapped in the winning goal for Manchester City from a corner. The goal not only consigned Palace to having the worst record at conceding from set pieces — nine, this season — but it was also their fifth Premier League defeat on the trot".
