@Jason,

already looking forward to Pellers at Chelsea?

Bright future ahead of us?!

They are underperforming, i support your opinion.

I think that Pellegrini's image (Gentleman) cuts him a lot of slack from the media, but some fans aren't happy, thats for sure.

They won't finish top 4, even if I'd like them to. They will lose against City tonight. Two consecutive defeats and that's it. Adios. And I pray to God that we won't be that stupid to sign Vardy. He's a one-hit wonder.

There is no way Leicester will finish outside the top 4. There is a gap of 8 points between them and first team outside the top 4, and thats Crystal Palace. 9 points in front of United, then you have the likes of West Ham, Stoke, Watford and Liverpool.

Perhaps they lack the extra quality to win the league, and I still believe this is Arsenal's season, but they are definetely getting a top 4 finish.

From Leicester's point of view, getting to CL is massive acheivement but it can backfire on EPL coefficient as they probably won't show the same game next year. Plus better players will be poached from them, notably Mahrez. Europa League will be better from them in terms of difficulty.

Vardy has some unreal pace on him, a few times he turned Ottamendi and was gone. Great game even though it was 0-0, lots of pressing but the most noticeable thing was ball retention in tight areas from both teams. Not many balls wasted and once again some good deliveries from out wide by natural wingers and full backs.

OK, so they didn't lose. Which makes this season look even more pathetic. I just don't understand how something like this is possible. The quality of City's players, looking at them individualy, is unbelievable, they should be pissing all over the league, but they are absolutely incapable of showing any consistency. as a team. When you have Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, David Silva, Sterling, Aguero... Maybe Pellegrini really is an impotent manager.

And maybe this really is Arsenal's season.

Let alone this, if I were to choose a Leicester player that Chelsea should sign, that would definitely be Kante. Beautiful player.

You've got a point but remember- best teams don't consist of the best players. Leicester have a special bond between the players and an unshaken confidence that I've not seen a team possess for a long time.

Leicester are just in a remarkable run of form and they're getting all the bounces going their way. It happens. But what also tends to happen is that the tide turns and a few bad games knocks the confidence. Vardy is the same which is why I don't understand the stories about him going to a big team for £20 million. Good player in great form, not the other way around.

What it does show is how the quality of this league has taken a massive nosedive since it dominated Europe 7 years ago, and also how competitive it is. With all the TV money coming in, any team that stands still for a moment will be mowed down.

If they make top four then it's a massive achievement but there's a long way to go.

Problem with Leicester is the same with Araenal. They are heavily dependent on a couple of great players and if they either lose form or get injured, the whole team falls apart. Just like a tower of cards...

Now, its possible neither of those two unfortunate things happen, but still having 19 games to be played, its unlikely they can keep up.

Yes, but obviously Arsenal have spent many more millions. I honestly still think that City will end up winning it despite their awful away form.

No one thinks Spurs can do it this year? Only 4 points off the top and I bet they strengthen in January.

God, if either Spurs or Arsenal win this year... :mouthclosed:

It's hard not to like Spurs this year, usually I have no trouble hating them.. But I actually rate Pochettino and a lot of the players now featuring for Spurs. Still hate the club with a passion but there's no denying they're exciting to watch.

Don't want them to win the title, but it'd be interesting to see them develop by qualifying for the CL.

One year ago first club in league had 47 points(us btw), now first club has 39 points. BPL is going lower and lower :/

So Ligue 1 is the best because PSG have 51 points? There are many tough team in the PL, even the weekest teams have awesome players.

I didnt mean about Europe but about strict PL. In last year we lost 3 times and now LFC(they will lose something) and Tottenham(they will too) lost 2 games. Moreover, there is no team which looks same as we last year. UTD are shit, we are shit, ManCIty... they have big names but they often lose, Tottenham&Liverpool isnt as good as their fans are saying.Ah and Arsenal... they are like always...

But if you mean about Europe, so yes England going lower and lower. We can lose our 4 position in CL so its not good :\

Manchester City new [old] badge.

Excellent really. That fucking eagle is an abomination, I bet all the newer fans will be mad the eagle they associate with Man City is gone.

It's definitely better, too much empty space though and not sure about the logo within a logo thing.

When I first saw the re-branding of our badge 'perfection' was the only thing that came to mind.
