Terry needs to be let go smoothly and Cahill needs to be let go abruptly. The great faith placed in Cahill is a move I'll never understand. There was a time when Gallas and Alex were considered not good enough.

Both Chelsea and Utd let their standards drop.

For sure man.. But that's the consequence of our stance in the league now. We have to settle until we're back where we belong and THEN hopefully we can pull of some actual proper recruitment

Arsenal won..booo

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Well done to Mark Hughes.

Stoke has arguably better front 4 than manchester-united

Shaqiri

[stroey 2,525]

lol, one of Courtois would've been funny too.

Can Leicester City beat the Mancs?
I'm hoping for it, but not so sure, would settle for a draw, City's attacking line is fuckin' scary, imo.

I'm already looking forward to the game, one of the better things to do on a Tuesday evening...

Not sure if Vardy will start, Drinkwater is also injured it seems. Will be great game for sure, hope Leicester can keep it up, can't stand watching Arsenal at #1

Fuck me, Vardy injured?

What a blow that would be, but of course against us he scored a beauty, can't make this shit up.

I think Vary will play, he's a 'hard' man, he can do it, at least i hope so.

The tinkerman has to show what he's made of, i'm totally with you, can't stand Arsenal being the top dog,

yes, good for Cech, but that's not enough.

[Special Juan 27,422]

Apparently he was ill before the game against Liverpool, can see him starting TBH.

Cannot wait for this game, should be a great watch.

Oh, and I heard Leeds tried to stop tonight's game being televised but were told they would sanctions against them if they didn't allow the TV crew access......Shame, I'd love to see that grotty club punished with a heavy points deduction.

Leicester City XI vs. Man City: Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, Inler, Drinkwater, Kanté, Albrighton, Mahrez, Vardy.

Man City XI vs. Leicester: Hart, Sagna, Mangala, Otamendi, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Toure, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Agüero.

[Essien19 1,415]

Toure, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Agüero.

Heavy, but

Mangala, Otamendi

isn't so bad, i think.

Always there for another fuck up.

How depressing is it that Leicester City can pass out of presses and work the ball around the pitch better than Chelsea FC?

So freaking sad.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I really like this Leicester team. They're tactically good and very well assembled. But they're not actually going to win the league, are they?

My prediction for them is that Maherez and Vardy will go on some sort of goal drought and score 5-6 goals collectively in the second half of the season which will see Leicester slump and finish just outside of the top 4.

[FabHazard 655]

The way leicester are pressing with intensity and desire to win the ball..and it just irritates me when we look at our team who just sits back with no pressure or disjointed press making mediocre teams into looking like world beaters

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.
