On the positive....

ARSENAL Fan TV regular 'DT' - real name Liam Goodenough -and also known as ''Massive Twat'' has had a jail term TRIPLED for stalking, kidnapping and assaulting an ex-girlfriend.
Got 12 months, increased to 3 years.

Tottenham are becoming a threat. We just have to beat them for a 4th time this season.

apart from trips to city and liverpool, their remaining schedule is quite easy. Esp their last two games are gainst norwich and burnley who will be relegated by then. Also they have mostly home games left.

Arsenal also have more home than away games left.

Will probably get edgy again but in the end we will seal it.

Leicester City doing Leicester City things under Brendan Rodgers. Bottling games and giving up a higher league position. 

And people constantly link him with being the next United or City manager…..

I disagree with this. He has done as good as a job he can at Leicester. Has had them pushing above their weight. Won the FA Cup and has twice narrowly missed out on the Champions League, but still guided them to Europa which was a good achievement in it's own. Leicester have also been decimated with injuries. I mean last night's game look who they had out: Evans, Fofana Castagne, Bertrand, Pereira, Evans, Mendy, Iheanacho, Vardy, pretty sure there is more. Pretty sure there is more. This has been the case for most of their season. Any manager who has a casualty list like that will struggle. 

All managers generally anyway eventually lose their buzz at a team, no matter how good they are. Happens with all Chelsea managers. I mean Ancelotti did not necessarily do anything special at Everton and looked he got the Real job and looks like they will win the league. He has gone from doing a basic job at Everton to now leading a team to a La Liga title and who knows possible the UCL as well and maybe if BR works with a better team and bigger budget he can do bigger things too.

The past 2 seasons (not this one) they’ve been in the driving seat/extremely favourable positions for finishing in the CL and theyve ended up failing to qualify. It is almost as if the pressure is too much for him and his players, like that season at Liverpool.

FA cup aside, for all the talk of him being an elite manager, he has shown time and time again he can’t get his team over the line when it truly matters. Which is what I meant by Leicester doing Leicester things under him.

Ok sure, aye he is a good manager but when he’s talked about as being a Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea or any other elite level club manager, it blows my mind. He is not the elite level and never will be.
