..what else can we get excited about in the Premier League?
Manchester derby was poor.
Failed to be any more thrilled by these fixtures than if they were (and could easily be) Championship games
Everton 0-0 Swansea
Hull 0-1 Southampton
Leicester 0-1 West Brom
Stoke 2-2 West Ham
(OK OK I know they haven't won it yet, but it is a 'discussion' list!)
Where is the excitement going to come from?

Recently the QPR v Liverpool game had a traffic ending and who would have put Leicester down to beat Man U 5-3. As in most leagues, there will be twists & turns and although Chelsea may be a few points clear at the moment they can easily lose a couple of games.
For every rare thriller in the PL we could pull out the same in the Championship, or what I've watched most this season, The Football Conference.
Monday Night Football tomorrow throws up what is sure to be another classic when Sunderland take on Colin Wanker's Freaks. Would rather watch the Paul O'Grady Show followed by Time Team than that pile of guff.
The top SEVEN teams are pretty much predetermined before the season has started. If any club breaks into that top seven it is seen as a major deal.
The "debates" that glory hunter PL fans have go round in circles and only seem relevant to the same bunch of clubs. "Who is going to finish fourth?" being the one that makes me want to gouge my eyes out.
I typically watch PL games when they are on TV but spend most of my time cringing at the way people talk about it being the be all and end all without barely going to a fucking game to actually watch their team.
The amount of absolute cock-warts on my Twitter feed talking about "us" (United, obviously) winning "the derby" among each other some 200 miles from the event, is laughable. These same people then have the temerity to question why people like us follow Charlton, like we're the strange ones.
Sign of getting old I suppose, but I yearn for the days when a tactically brilliant manager can win the
Champions leagueEuropean Cupwith a club like Derby or Forest.
I strongly suspect it won't happen again in my lifetime.............
