From a neutral point of view surely the North London Derby is the most attractive derby to watch? The last time there was a good Merseyside derby was back in 1990 and the Manchester derby is hit and miss. There is hardly ever a good game when United play Liverpool.

Yet Sky spend all week building the games up.

What a terrible call from Mike Dean with the freekick there, he was so close to see it too.

The water breaks are meant to hydrate when it's hot. The staffs are wearing jackets out there. So now its just a coaching opportunity. Dont think they should be doing them.

Dont give me the "its alot of games in a short period of time". They have 9 games in December and 5 games in 10 days over the holiday period, including sometimes 2 games in 3 days.

I assumed it was just because they can no longer share random bottles during stoppages in the game so they need to have a defined stoppage so that they can all go and retrieve their own specific bottle etc.

He must just hate black people. Racist scum.

Joking aside though, imagine how muhc worse that could've been if that'd been someone with a track record like Suarez or John Terry

Reminded me of school, when there’d be a Minutes silence or something and one kid was always in a world of their own and just carries on chatting away until they realise they’ve fucked up.

Burnley have just seven subs...two of which are goalkeepers.

Surely they must have some youngsters they could have stuck on the bench?

Even so, I don’t like the change to the subs rules. Just doesn’t seem right changing something so integral to the game halfway through the season. Massively favours the bigger clubs.

Most of their subs bench are young players from their academy, i believe.

Yep, they have 5 players out because they are coming to end of contract, and haven't agreed to an extension (including Lennon), and a couple of injuries (to both their main forwards Wood and Barnes)
Their 7 subs are 2 goalkeepers (but not Joe Hart as he is another of the out of contract guys) and the other 5 are all kids who have never appeared for first team before.
