That talk of Man City running away with the PL after the first 5 games seems daft now, doesn't it? Won only 4 of the last 10 matches. When they win, they win well. When they lose, they lose badly. Performances always swing between good & bad. No middle ground with them.

I personally want them to get at least one of the UCL spot

Their downfall is inevitable. Finish in the top 8 and they've done an extremely good job.

Spurs dropped points. Chels disrupted their flow. Would be great if Pool dropped points tomorrow but that seems unlikely.

Not really, we ran away with the PL title with less talent last season.

This team SHOULD be running away with it. Their performing worse than last season but have more talent.

This is what I HATE about Man City. Because they'll get away with underporforming because they make it "exciting". When they win the PL title (which they still will) it'll be romanticized and nobody will criticize them at all for anything because it plays into the narrative of making the Premier League, "the most exciting league in the world".

So infuriating to watch them get away with it year after year again.

And when they fuck it up in Europe like they always do, it's just an after thought.

Fuck. Off.

But they aren't as good as they are made out to be. They have great individuals but there are some major issues with them.

League goals in 2015-16:

Bale + Benzema + Ronaldo = 22

Mahrez + Vardy = 23

Not to take away anything from Mahrez and Vardy, but that is highly deceiving as all three RM players have missed games this season.

I hate stats, specially those kind of stats. It is exactly like Barbara always say: "stats are like miniskirts". They give you a good idea but hide the most important part.

a big point though is Leicester got those two for virtually nothing ,, consider the cost of our strikers .. the loan fee for Falcao alone is more than the Foxes spent

So City will run away with the league? you're having a laugh. This is the Premier League for you, every team can drop points at will to anyone, anytime, anywhere. We lost at Stoke a few weeks ago, in a match we should have at least drew, because we were very unlucky not to score an win, we can thank Butland for that too, (great season he's having btw ) and we paid the price for it in the end. It's a fact that playing at the Brittania Stadium is very difficult, not many teams will go there and win, as shown by City's loss today who got well beaten and maybe should have lost by more. This league is more competitive than ever and every team has to fight with tooth and nail to get the required result, and it still might not be enough, that's how hard it has become and i for one think it's as exciting as ever, even with how our season is going. Leicester being at the top 2 points clear of Arsenal and 3 of City right now just tells you that the top teams are not as convincing as they should be, with all credit to Leicester, who are having a wonderful season and i tell you now, that if we can't win the league, than i rather Leicester do it than City, Arsenal, United or Liverpool. But in all reality, it will be one of those 4 , but we will have to wait and see what happens until the end of the season. No matter the outcome of our result today we will remain in 14th place, but a win at home is clearly a must, to try and close the gap and next game we have Porto, then Leicester away which it will be extremely difficult as they are in 1st place, in form and on an unbeaten run and we will have to do whatever it takes to try to win there. But first focus on Bournemouth today who are not an easy team to beat, then focus on Porto, then Leicester later. Cheers and goodluck.

on a side note: Vardy's run is over, for now, he will be on 11 straight league matches scoring goals but one match short to equal Jimmy Dunne's long standing record for consecutive goals in the English top flight, the former Sheffield United player's record of scoring in 12 straight games has stood since 1932.
