What the hell was Klopp thinking playing Skrtel? Someone needs to force the useless twat to retire.

In an ideal world the most entertaining team wins a surprise league title. Which this year would be West Ham.

You not chanting 1 nil to the Arsenal any more

Haven't been for about 10 years

Are you sure?

[Denver]

If it says the way it is Leicester can win the title next week if they better Tottenham score

[Denver]

Never mind I've just saw Tottenham has scored

[Mystic Mock]

Aston Villa will be joining us in the Championship to be slaughtered against us after today.

Thank you Nicky.

Good luck if PSV get them in the friendlies for next season, you'll be scoring double digits.

LOL at Sunderland possibly avoiding relegation at the brink of death again

[Mystic Mock]

Tbf Sunderland have been playing great lately, they've just been having some bad luck go their way.

And in all seriousness it's a shame that so many people will be losing their jobs at Villa just because their players are lazy ****s.

[BBfanUSA]

Can anyone get Everton vs Southhampton over there,

It sounds so quiet today.

Not as quiet as West Brom vs Watford apparently.

You've gotta hand it to Spurs, they've handled the pressure for the past two weeks and quite comfortably.

They're not going down without a fight, and in-fact are looking the team that's finishing the race the strongest.

Squeeky bum time now for Leicester, they may need to win 3 of their last 4 the way Spurs are playing.

Look away Gooners:



Spurs are a better team than Leicester no doubt about it. Most goals scored fewest conceded. Play great football. There is a new order in North London and Gooners won't like it. Sorry Arsenal fans but Poch has done what Wenger dreamt of :

• built a young squad, the only real oldie is Lloris
• built a great English core (Kane,Dier, Rose, Walker, Allie, Trippier)
• spent shrewdly but frugily in transfer market, no big splashy names
• got rid of Adebayor in a clever manner

The end of St Totteridge day has arrived.

Poch is great at nurturing young (English) talent at Soton and now Spurs. Harry Kane still under Tim Sherwood could easily have ended up a Cameron Jerome.

Leicester can still win title, but I can't see Spurs dropping any points. Next up for Spurs, West Bromwich, who are on the beach and will be an easy 3 points for Spurs. Pulis sides usually fight tooth and nail to defend and stop opoosition but there is nothing for WBA to defend, mid table is assured again. Beharino probably won't score as he wants to join Spurs. Rondon has disappointed.

However if anything the loss of red card Vardy for 2 remaining 4 games will kill Leicester's title bid, rather than lacking bottle. As much as I like him, I do think Ranieri is too soft. Probably why he's the nearly man of titles. He's let them have days off. Poch has made his players come in on days off.

Leicester City simply have no consistent reliable goalscorer past Vardy. Ulloa is a championship player* and Okazaki is great opening up space and creating chances but not a finisher you need when you are on title hunt. The amount of times he can't stretch his legs for ball is weird as short cakes Messi and Aguero can. Mahrez does score and assist, can be a genius but is also extremely lazy (one of laziest in PL) and lacks urgency. He can easily never score again this season. Albrighton is a Villa reject. Mahrez crap penalty miss in 0-0 v Villa will come back to haunt Leicester as will his other miss Bournemouth. Kante is great as a box to box/ holding midfielder but he won't score goals. Gray is too young and is no Dele Alli/ Rashford. Then you look at the likes of the 2nd string and fringe players like Andy King, Sclupp, Amatey who are unlikely to do anything.

Leicester sqaud is thinnest and has least depth in EPL which is remarkable when you factor in Aston Villa (who had great youths but didn't play them). Spurs could cope without Kane, LCFC are screwed without Vardy. Ironically I don't think Ranieri has tinkered enough. Relying on a few star players is not best practice for all sorts of reasons, it's screwed Barcelona this season, always playing Messi, Neymar and Suarez and yet their bench is far better than most PL starting XI.

Bizarrely enough this is where. LCFC transfer flop Inler could step up to the mark and be a wild card hero.

* Can't bare mediocre foreign players like Ulloa who are no better than British players. If a foreign player has no chance of being in International squad, I question their presence in EPL. OK, so Ulloa is never going to just Argentineans Aguero and of course Messi but no one in Argentine had even headed of him when he scored all those goals against Man U last season.

Spurs look very good. Give them a couple more seasons and they will be one of the teams to beat.

If Arsenal fans saw half the fight in their team that we've seen from Spurs tonight, Liverpool against Dortmund and Athetico Madrid against Barca then I think there would be hardly any fans calling for Wengers head.

[alex_front2]

Wenger has been at Arsenal too long and got set in old fashion out moded ways that no longer work. Sir Alex Fergie kept changing his no 2 and support backroom team (Rene Meulenstein, Brian Kidd, Steve McLaren, Carlos Quieros etc) so long term players got new messages. Wenger has kept Bould and stagnated.

Wenger lost Viera (11 years at Arsenal ) to Man City (1 season) as a coach, now Poch is apparently tapping up Arsenal captain Arteta to be a Spurs coach

Arsenal are out of ideas and are just stealing from Leicester now , they poached their technical scout, and now want Kante, Mahrez and even young defender Chilwell.

I used to see Wenger as quite smart, now he seems foolhardy, deluded and arrogant, like LVG.

Squeaky bum time for Leicester

Hard to tell, as long as Spurs can keep hold of the Poch and Kane* they will be competing for top 4. Title will be harder with Pep's Man City, Jose's Man U and Conte's Chelsea. However, whereas the best of Leicester will be picked off and poached (Kante, Mahrez, Chilwell, Schmeichel), Spurs team is built to last and will have advantage of familiarity with each other whearas I suspect Mourinho, Pep and co will rip out their team and start from scratch, strangers playing together, having to adjust etc.

* Rumours that Poch is wanted by Real Madrid and Man U won't die and today's papers say Bayern and Madrid both want Kane who is seen as England's only sold class player.

Don't underestimate Ulloa, he played quite well when he came on against West Ham imo, I think his ready for this challenge moreso than the other Leicester players as he has a point to prove, and I also think that him and Okazaki will cover up each others weaknesses in a similar vain to the Vardy and Okazaki partnership.
