Worth noting if we win tommorow we will have not points than Liverpool since Klopp took over.

Apart from the win at City Klopps been pretty shit so far, especially with people banging on about his instant impact an even a title challenge at one point.

I never expected anything from Kloop his first season to be fair. It's next season when I think he will shine.

Do you really think so? Attitude wise surely. Their willpower, teamspirit and passion is certainly superior to any side we saw winning the leageu the past 5 years but talent wise, the title last season was the bare minimum players with the talent of FAbregas, Hazard, Costa, Azpi, Courtois etc should win. what we can learn from Leicester are the aformentioned aspects. But turth is all their drinkwaters, Albrightons, Schmeichels (lolz at his kicking btw) is a collection of average, mid-table players who are carried by a wave of euphoria and good form by some clearly gifted players (Mahrez, Vardy, Kante) who somehow managed to hide their talents so far. This makes their success all the more remarkable of course. 

Nah, that was just tongue in cheek. But I do believe that a lot of our players last season were punching well above their weight and I think that was largely down to Jose himself. In our case last season and the case of Leicester this season, motivation and will power can be huge factors in football and sports in general.

We play Leicester City on the final day of the season so we can still have a huge say in the title race. I would not really mind handing them the points and eventually the trophy if it was the case and we were not in need of winning the tie. Keep it up Foxes!!

A team mainly built of free transfers and bargain basement fees are five points ahead in the league and beat a team that cost well fuck knows but spends 50 million on a fraud like Sterling. It's amazing what an ego free team and one who pull in the same direction can achieve. Lessons to be learned I think.

Their total of players price at the beginning of the season was below KdB's alone(72 to 74 mil euros).

Let that fact sink in for a moment

Vardy signed a new deal until 2019

- Fucking hell! How do Leicester keep on doing it?!

- City

- Liverpool

- Everyone is talking about Leicester, City and Arsenal in the title race but no Spurs?!

[Styles 9,790]

Watching MOTD now and Tottenham tearing Watford apart. It's hard to understand and accept just how shit we are at the moment.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Come on Bournemouth!!! Need Arsenal to keep dropping points

 

edit: lol

[Jase 43,479]

Arsenal play Leicester next Sunday and I just noticed that Man City are playing Spurs, also on Sunday.

Should be a good day of football that.

[Special Juan 27,101]

0-2 Arsenal.

Guys I have just seen the new Premier League Logo and PL Lion Logo Badge for the Jersey. Pass me the Puke Bucket Please.

I quite like the sleeve patch. Simpler and cleaner.

I wonder if the change in font means there will be new numbers/namesets to match the font. They're definitely following the modern tastes of getting rid of serifs.
