What a tedious last question. Fishing for a quote for the short-sighted reward of a 'good' headline. Good reply by Van Gaal, could have used stronger language for my liking. Not because it's not his business, but because it's ****ing lazy to think you're going to get something substantial about transfers from a press conference.

I agree. Not sure why the BBC left it on the video clip, either.

Robert Huth - 4 YELLOW
Bournemouth (a), Norwich (a), West Brom (a), Newcastle (a)

Jamie Vardy - 3 YELLOW
Sunderland (h), West Ham (a), Crystal Palace (h)

Danny Simpson - 3 YELLOW
West Ham (LC, h), Crystal Palace (h), Swansea (a) - unsporting behaviour (foul)

Marc Albrighton - 3 YELLOW
Aston Villa (h), Hull (LC, a), Swansea (a) - unsporting behaviour (foul)

I trust Ranieri has emphasised to the players how crucial it is to keep them on the pitch for all the December matches, so no stupid lunging tackles please. Serve the suspensions in January against Bournemouth, Spurs and Villa!

Serve the suspensions in January against Bournemouth, Spurs and Villa!

Or for our FA cup third round game.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Well that's 4 points from the first 2...

Honestly watching Liverpool now and we have absolutely nothing to fear in these next 4 games.

I still maintain Liverpool, Everton and Chelsea are no bigger challenges than the likes of Spurs, Palace and West Ham who we got 7 points out of 9 from.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Or for our FA cup third round game.

I thought he Premier League Leaders do not enter until the Fourth Round!

We're only doing well cos we've not played the teams who this weekend lost to Stoke, Newcastle or Bournemouth.

Cut off date is the 31st December so hopefully no suspensions at all

 

[camberwell fox]

Is it 5 or 6 for a suspension?

Is it then wiped clean?

The 3rd round tie is the only January game from which players could be suspended under the 'totting-up' reg.

You might be confusing yourself over the various stages at which clubs join the League Cup. Even then though it would depend on the previous season's final position.

 

[bocadillo]

Is it 5 or 6 for a suspension?

Five - as was the case when Jeffrey Schlupp was suspended earlier in the season.

Is it then wiped clean?

It's not wiped clean but the threshold for a suspension (two games) becomes ten cautions.

Why can't they be suspended for Bournemouth?

 

[bocadillo]

Why can't they be suspended for Bournemouth?

Whooooops! Mea culpa!

I had presumed that the Cup game was the first of the new year. The Bournemouth game is the only January game from which players could be suspended under the 'totting-up' reg.

Unbeaten in half of these 'Next Six Games' for a total of seven points. Now how will the other half go?

When Clownio took over he said he'll aim for 1 point more than last season. 7 from our next 3 will do this.

 

[M17TT C]

I'm just wondering what bomb shell will be dropped in the next couple of weeks seeing as he definitely won't be in charge come the new year!

 

[Miles Away]

So if we win on Saturday we will go 5 points clear at the top (at least for 2 days)?

And then second play third?

It's entirely possible we could be 4 points clear on christmas day.

**** me.
