Sofiane Feghouli has had his red card overturned. Meaning that of the 5 straight reds that West Ham have received since the end of August 2015, 4 have been overturned.

An inconsistent 21-year old? Well I never.

He's definitely not the best defensive fullback in the league, though arguably the best offensive one. He also relies on his pace too much to bail him out, but he'll get better and grow out of it. He's been playing a ton and generally very well so I won't be too hard on him for having a bad performance after playing twice in 48 hours.

So what you're saying is that he's a Spanish Kyle Walker from a few years ago?

He's been consistently bad when it comes to defending, everyone forgets because he gets to spend so much time bombing forward when Arsenal maintain possession but he's just not very good there and I doubt time is going to rectify it, people said the same poo poo about Monreal and its been years and I'm still waiting for that tool to actually look convincing when it comes to defense. I think that's just the kind of soft, lovely fullback that Wenger likes.

It always bothers me when a player sustains such a bad injury from something totally innocuous.

Bolaise just got knocked a bit off balance and he's exploded his knee.

To be fair it's not like there are loads of fullbacks out there who are hot poo poo going forward and defending. Most teams will have to settle for a player who can do one or the other consistently and not both

Good news for Liverpool, Matip's not been named in the Cameroon squad for the AFCON, so the risk of him being banned from domestic football for the duration of the tournament has gone.

How can United have won six in a row, haven't been beaten since October, and still be 3 points and goal difference outside the top 4

I'm not even slagging them off right now, it just seems unusual when the teams above them aren't being particularly consistent.

A rumor was going around that the Swansea players referred to Bob Bradley as "Ronald Reagan."

Bradleys response:

“Trust me on this, not one of those players knows who Ronald Reagan is.”

At least he was able to leave with a pretty solid burn. But I'm American, so it's probably not :(

Slightly off topic, Bob Bradley is rumored to be in Norway to discuss about being the Norway Men's National Team coach.

United had a period where they won 1 in 7 or something like that, got loads of annoying draws where they were the better team but conceded a silly late goal or couldn't put chances away. They've had to make up a lot of ground and most of the other top 5 have hardly lost

United haven't lost since they got hammered by Chelsea but they had four draws in five after that match and two just before it.

United took eight points in October and November.

So Bob Bradley goes from a team that used to be good but is now poo poo and made them even more poo poo, to a national team in almost the same circumstances?
