Chris Wood's move to the Premier League has been confirmed.

A 4-year deal with Burnley for a club record fee (NZ$26M).

I hope he goes well. Just not next weekend, they're playing spurs I think

[Bovidae]

@canefan A home win at Wembley?

[canefan]

@Bovidae yeah....

[Hooroo]

Wheels are starting come loose over at Spurs in the EPL. Playing great European footy but to lose to The Arsenal then draw on the weekend and currently down 2-0 at Leicester.

[Bovidae]

Man City win the Manchester derby 2-1 so now have an 11 pt lead. That is also 14 consecutive wins - a record.

The Christmas-New Years period can make or break a campaign but it is hard to see Man City losing the title from here.

So Citeh will win the league at a canter but will not be undefeated. Sounds like a cracking match at Anfield with Klopp (and Kop) almost exploding at the end.

1 point from two games - they're runbbish that City

While The Arsenal are utter rubbish this season, it is very pleasing to me that City won't equal Arsenal's undefeated season.

When I saw the Bournemouth result, for the first time ever, I thought; Arsene it's past time to go.

Really should have called it a day after his last FA Cup triumph but it appears he's an addict.

Funny! So did I. With Sanchez going we need a new leader there

Nah I hope he stays a while longer 😉

How do Liverpool manage to look so unstoppable and then come crashing down against the lower teams? The real battle is looking like the top 4 at the moment.

Man C 65
Man U 53
Chelsea 50
Liverpool 47

Spurs 45
Arsenal 42

@kiwipie this morning's result is the most Liverpool thing ever. Beat City one week, lose to the bottom side a week later. It's what they do, and why they will never win the league.

Really lop-sided league this year, with the top 6 light years ahead of everyone else. No one from 9th down is safe from relegation, and they would all deserve it.

Classic Arsenal!

Getting thumped away from home 3-1 against bottom of the league.

[mariner4life]

no longer bottom of the league. Back-to-back wins against top 6 opponents and they are out of the drop zone!

They were earlier today until Arsenal gifted them 3??

Plenty of activity as the transfer window closed this morning.

• Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joins Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund.
• Olivier Giroud goes to Chelsea from Arsenal.
• Michy Batshuayi goes to Dortmund on loan.
• Islam Slimani has moved on loan to Newcastle United
• Badou Ndiaye has joined Stoke from Galatasaray.
• Lucas Moura transfers from PSG to Spurs

@hooroo

I hope Sanchez got booed this morning.

Winning vs Spurs was easier in an Arsenal shirt.

@rocky-rockbottom One wonders when Pool will purchase themselves a competent keeper.

[KiwiPie]

@rocky-rockbottom Top match report that one - no need at all for me to watch the highlights!

[MajorRage]

The similarities for the Liverpool - Spurs match to Ireland France rugby were there ... not much happened until about 15 mins to go then it ALL happened!

I don't really care for either club, so happy to see a 2-2 draw.

Hell of a day lined up on the sofa here.

9am-12.pm: NBA Clippers vs Pistons
1pm-9.pm: Rugby Brisbane 10's.
9pm-11.pm: Soccer Spurs vs Arsenal

14 hours of total inertia. Godspeed the vortex.

I hope Blake rips them a new one!
