    How long before RVP puts in a transfer request?

    How long before Falcao and Di Maria do?

    That result has brightened up my weekend no end.

    Did you see what Balotelli tweeted after?

    I wouldn't say yours brightened up mine, but I did get a kick out of the full kit wanker who was suggesting you were still going to win the league.

    I still can't believe Di Maria wanted to sign for United. There must have been other teams interested. Cristiano Ronaldo must be very persuasive...

    As for Falcao, he's made some strange choices in the past, so I cant say I'm all that surprised.

    But what about poor Mata? He's gone from being PL's outstanding playmaker to this in just a little more than a year. One just can't help feeling sorry for him...

    Amazing game at Leicester and every credit to them to get an outstanding result. Man Utd are very poor defensively, as are my beloved Liverpool......

    Balotelli has been receiving some absolute vile and disgusting abuse on Twitter. I understand the Police are now investigating it.

    This article might cheer you up if your team lost this weekend.

    Unless, you're a Fulham fan of course. :D

    Have just read an article about this now. No matter the club, there are always supporters/fans who spoil it. Disgusting behaviour.......

    Super Mario just gone up a few notches with LFC fans! It really is that easy Borini. If you openly slag off Utd we can forgive a lot!

    Schurrle for Chelsea may have just made my day, with 15minutes to go.

    Chelsea will be kicking themselves, ten man City finishing strongest.

    Who could have predicted that Arsenal would win and everyone else would either lose or draw. Probably the best weekend they've had in a long time.

    Few weeks ago Man United fans were laughing when they signed Falcao and Arsenal signed Welbeck.

    Falcao no goals so far, Welbeck 1 goal.

    Although to be fair, Welbeck is utter shit.

    He'll only be in the side till Giroud returns. Wenger loves his fellow Frenchmen.

    Only consolation for Man United is Spurs, Everton and Liverpool are stuttering.

    They'll be lots of unhappy people on Merseyside and in Essex this weekend. ;-)

    The problem with the Premier League is that there are far too many average players on huge amounts of money. QPR are one of the chief perpetrators of this.

    There are very few genuine world class players in the EPL.

    It may be the most exciting and entertaining league but in terms of quality, it's by no means great.

    Hansen-esque punditry Sir! Why aren't you on the MOTD sofa?

    Would certainly be a welcome change from the recent dross that seems to be slipping through the net. In the last 2 weeks I've seen Jermaine Jenas and Neil Lennon on there. Yeah if we want to know about being a feeble Tom Huddlestone impersonator or how to win a Mickey Mouse league we'll give you a call lads but if it's insight into the business end of the league we're after don't call us, we'll call you.

    Say what you like about Hansen, Lawro and Gary Nev but you can't really argue because they can just slap their medals on the table.

    Not long seen todays Premier League results! And OMG what a result for Leicester! :-O It has certainly been another eye opening weekend results wise. Well impressed my Norwich boys grinded a result out again after going 2 down at home.

    Please stop doing that to me Norwich! On a final note, how ironic ole Frank Lampard came back to haunt his old club!

    True ridiculous wages does not equal quality, serious dearth in quality defenders in the premiership never mind in United's squad.
