Last year we had the 17th most shots in the league.

This year we are 3rd.

We have the worst conversion rate of any side.

I don't know if you can blame that all on Jose.

Obviously we've conceded a few more!


That's one way of attracting new Bournemouth fans, we've scored more goals than the plastics!

Stats lie. Utd have created but they've been boring to watch whenever I've seen them. Football by number, without much flair.

John Terry scuffs in a goal in his last home game (maybe) for Chelsea, scoring in 17 consecutive seasons.

Then gives away the equaliser after a terrible header in the box.

United in the 15/16 campaign. Finish 5th with 66 points, finish 15 points off top, Win FA cup

Spend 160 million, bring in Jose and bring in Zlatan on wages of £250,000 a week

16/17 Campaign, finish 6th with 66-69 points, finish 21-24 points of top, win league cup.

If United win the Eufa cup then they save their season and for me it will have been a good season.

But loose too Ajax, then you would have to say its been a bit of a disater for United. So much rests on this one match for United

best idea i've seen for ages

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39962886

only way to get clubs and managers to take it seriously is to penalise it harshly

It is but sadly won't change the outcome of a game.

If the diver wins a penalty and they score the winning goal from it then this damage can't be repaired.

Docking points as well could be a solution but this would be getting into complex territory.

it might make the players think about it more.

Another flip side is that if only English teams do this then they could be at a disadvantage when playing in europe. If they can not practice their diving in league games at the week end, then how can they do it succesfully when in Europe?

All the chat before the game was about the golden boot (sod all else to talk about), and Kane gets four, ridiculous.

Pretty much nailed on certainty now.

At the moment Arsenal are fourth, unlikely to last!

Man City could get a rugby score today.
