After another hugely frustrating game last night I looked at the table and thought about how many other supporters of clubs felt the same. Who this year will be happy with their team?

I reckon City and West Hams fans only can feel truly satisfied.

Utd are 2nd but have been awful at times. Leicester 3rd but have lost a number of times against weak opposition. Chelsea are 4th but have sacked a manager. That doesn't happen if all is well.

Villa fans perhaps have a shout but they also have lost daft games.

Any suggestions for who should be genuinely happy with their season and why, apart from those two mentioned? It's the inconsistency this year that is driving me nuts.

City for winning the league.

Leicester if they finish top 4, as like us have had a large amount of injuries.

Us, if we finish top 4, although at end of December we were still challenging. During the season expectations will change.

West Ham as these are lofty heights, but lets see where they finish.

Villa and Everton if they finish top 6, but again, like West Ham, are they used to fighting for matches in April and May (outside of relegation fights) or will the slippers come out as normal once the sun comes out?

Leeds have something to build on.

Fulham if they finish 4th from bottom.

Lanzini last min 3-3

If that goal wins the Derby it's even better

Salah Vs west ham few weeks ago one foot control other foot in

Lanzini was ridiculous. The Salah counter definitely up there. I liked Bruno's lob/dipper against Everton for the arrogance of it, Cantona like especially as he walked off without barely a celebration.

Wow, what a goal from Lamela! Goal of the season for me.

Absolutely outrageous. I was a bit gutted he didn't start as he loves a derby, you could see him wasting no time winding up Xhaka and Luiz when he came on - no accident he chose those two. A little silver lining to Son going off. Just superb.
 
Spurs gone back into defensive mode, not what I was expecting after seeing the team selected and the recent games. Need better second half

Arsenal definitely had the better half, we would have been lucky to go in in front. I can see Jose putting Sissoko on for Bale and shutting up shop to be honest. Too easy for Tierney down their left when Bale won't track back and Doherty frankly isn't a defender at all.

He's definitely got an edge to him. Spurs have been pretty poor though, Arsenal unlucky not to be leading. Let's hope for a better second half as I've got a big accumulator going and I need Spurs! :ROFLMAO:

Wonder what Arsenal fans will make of Arteta dropping Auba for being late? Total respect to him for it IMO, you can't have a club captain being late on a regular basis.

Doherty has been really bad everytime I've seen him play. Better suited to the 352 at Wolves?

The shop never opened ?. agree he will have to do something about the left hand side, I’d rather see more attacking and getting the best out of Bale than bringing on Sissoko who has had a poor season

He's like an old school right midfielder basically. Doesn't look like a full back in a million years. I think he was a bit of a snap purchase because he was going for a low-ish amount but we didn't think it through.

Sanchez is just rubbish. Panics and dives in, Lacazette had a whiff at the ball and didn't even make contact but we gift them a penalty. How is Sanchez still getting games? Even when he plays well the next brainfart is just around the corner.

I called the Sissoko Bale sub, and we had to do something because we were wide open down the right. But now we've used all our subs and we're 2-1 behind. Classic.
