Lallana is certainly on fire tonight. MOM x 2 for me. About time he played well for them, he's been mainly poor for them since he signed. Good footballer, but often lightweight and with little end product. Obviously turning it on tonight though. He's certainly been nothing like he was at Southampton. Probably pissed at missing his penalty last weekend spurred him on tonight. |

Arsenal fucked up. Who'd have thought it?
They're cocking up their best chance of winning the league in years. Wonder if Wagner's time will be up if they fail to win the league this season.

Ouch.

Leicester breath a sigh of relief, I really cannot hazard a guess as to who will win the title. |

Just been at Arsenal game. They looked poor. Amazingly hit the woodwork 3 times but in all honesty didn't look Champion material. Sanchez is a shadow of what he was earlier in the season

All the pundits appear to be saying Leicester have not been in this position before, they will choke. Except they handled a great escape last season, so this should be a breeze, especially as nobody else wants it so it would seem.

I can't see them showing championship winning form for the rest of the season TBH . I massively hope I'm wrong |

Pundits annoy me, said before that it'll only be when they're 7 points clear with 2 games to play will everyone stop saying they'll choke it... It's almost as though some upstart has rushed in and keeps jumping into a top table seat at the dining table of 'the elite' as they nip off to order more champagne...
Likelihood is that all these comments are probably part of the motivation that's keeping them in this position...
I don't pay that much attention to the PL sideshow but on reflection just now I can't think of anything of note that Ranieri has come out with in the press all season. The biggest focus remains on LVG, Wenger, Pellegrini (Pep G) & now Klopp... Claudio is just getting on with it unfazed...

Spurs are likely to choke as much as Leicester based on their lack of titles in recent history. Arsenal are just blowing it, the rest are now 'also-rans' so you'd say it's between Spurs/Leicester and who has the better run-ins whilst keeping their nerve. In short, could go either way or they both blow it and it's anybodies. When I started writing this I thought I knew who would win title now i've not got a clue...... like the rest of us.....so sorry for wasting your time!! |

They had every game televised here, so the local English pub which has a bank of TV screens above the bar had every game on. Amazingly, the only vacant seat at the bar was closest to the one with the West Ham Spurs game on, and the Old Speckled Hen nitro was ace too. Life is good, although a pity Leicester couldn't grab that winner last night.
The Englander Keith - where were you ?? It was my round. Your shout next time, heh heh heh.

Well Leicester play Watford away on Saturday, and Arsenal and Spurs play each other. This week's been insane, but if sanity returns at the weekend, surely Leicester have the best chance of making the most of it? Also, perm 3 of 4 at the bottom. Look at that gap after Swansea's win !!! This season's been a bit of a bind for me, and the kids are at a difficult age for travel. Hopefully next season I can take in a Newcastle or Villa game or both.  |

Yessss milner, i know lots on here hate them. Great club though... Im just chuffed shitty wont get near the title, Dont like clubs who try to buy it tbh. What have the victims been doing for the last 25 years ? Have they only signed free transfers ? No, they've spent hundreds of millions on shite. Sent from my SM-G900F using proboards |

Chelsea are the form team at the moment - unbeaten in goodness knows how long and won 4 out of their last 6. They could easily make the top 4 after all considering how many points are being thrown away at the top end.
Would be an impressive turnaround if so!

its reffing decisions and tiredness and just being unlucky that will stop the 'big' clubs winning the title.. Wenger says so.. The champions league is the new 'get out' clause for losing in the league, always forgetting that you have 7 subs worth millions and millions and squads deeper than they have ever been. Man city used that argument last night even though, arguably, Liverpools best player was on the bench?? Fact is they have to play as much football as they can to keep the revenue stream to spend fortunes on players, you have to be in all the competitions to have massive, expensive squads and as some have already crapped on the league and FA cups what else are they going to do to 'save' their players for the 'big games'  Do we really envisage teams just aiming for 3rd or 4th in the league simply to put all their efforts into the champions league? 4th will do it.. Will Leicester be 15th or below next season as they put everything into the champions league? Be honest the big clubs want a european super league playing 20 odd games a season with a huge squad with massive tv money and silly ticket prices.. |
