Don't be daft. Leicester were top all season, Wolves are already 5 points adrift of three teams.
And, we’re off.......2018/2019

But all the big teams were crap that season. This year there are two or three excellent looking sides.

United can’t defend Newcastle should have had a pen at 2-0 handball from the free kick but ref gave a goal kick.
But being Newcastle they got back in to it.
pep said on motd he told Mahrez to take the pen.
Very surprised to hear you came to stifle us as normally City just play their own game !
Maybe Pep is learning.
Thought draw was fair in the end as vvd made one error , but can’t really say keepers were tested.

Just read a piece on the BBC sports page where a stats company has said that City could finish with more than 100 points this year. It mentions that City have two points more than at this stage last year, are creating more expected goal scoring opportunitys than last year but probably more important are 33% better defensively. Now don't get me wrong, am sure there's a few teams out there that will have there say. But if City statistically are getting better. Are the other also ranks improving even more.

Guess that’s not what Chelsea fans want to hear - first stage in going to Real
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45782303
And here is the shortlist for the Balon D’Or
Usual suspects really and will prob be between Modric , Salah and Hazard

Not surprised Hazard has been "quoted" as wanting to go to Real. I'm sure they are already primed to make a lucrative offer but he (or his sources) don't want to alienate the Chelsea fans, certainly at this stage of the season. As for the Balon D'Or, I think Modric has a good shout. I'd be really surprised if Salah or Hazard get it, not because they didn't have superb seasons but because they don't play for a truly fashionable club. It's that petty and simple in my opinion

If it is for the player of 2018, Salah along with a few others are not exactly finishing the year with a bang, however Messi, Hazard and a few others are.

To be honest it's inevitable that Hazard will end up at Real. If Zidane hadn't of stepped down in the Summer then he'd be there for this season. Think you'll find that whoever replaces the fella currently there at the end of this season will determine whether Hazard goes. But the story on BBC sport is basically just a re-hash of what Hazard said a few months ago.
Whether Hazard goes also depends on where Neymar and Mbappe end up playing next season. Neymar to Real has been going on longer than Hazard to Real. And Real are bound to also be interested in Mbappe given Benzema's age. The question will be whether Real can actually afford to buy all 3 (let's face they'll get away with breaching any of the FIFA Fair Play rules). Abramovich is a canny operator and will probably only let Hazard go for a world record fee.

Think Mbappe will end up at Barcelona now but Neymar still at Madrid with Hazard
Don’t think they would be able to get World Record Fed because of the amount of time left on his contract - don’t expect Madrid would pay over £200mil on a guy who will be free in 12 months - not sure what the fee would be -£70mil max maybe - could be why hazard won’t sign a new contract ?

Do you think Real will really get all three?

Why not? Wouldn't be the first time they've gone bold with big name signings. Granted it's usually been 1 every season, but they're having a bad start to their season and need an overhaul of their starting XI.

I remember Hazard would be leaving and Coutinho would be stopping at Liverpool 🤔
Probably best just to see what happens 😆

There would be no point in acquiring Neymar AND Hazard, unless they plan on selling Bale at the same time. You can't play all three of them together. Even debateable whether you can play Neymar & Hazard together since they play the same position. For my money, Hazard is the better player so they'd be sensible just to sign him and forget Neymar altogether. Mbappe on the other hand though... Hazard, Mbappe, Bale would be a frightening front three.

Reckon Bale will be back in the Prem soon enough - Hazard , Kane and Neymar as a front three - Isco and Bale sold to help pay for them

Can you really see Kane learning Spanish? He can just about get English out.
