Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

Only dikkhead teams lose to Leicester

 

[Black Bolt]

All I know is the Arsenal are favorites to win the league and we've just defeated the league leaders. Leicester will be the team that fades as the season winds down.

2 or 3 years ago, Arsenal would've lost this game. However, all season we've shown resolve and the strength of character to win games even when the chips are stacked against us. Case in point: today's game vs . Leicester.

We all thought Leicester would fade pre Xmas, as it is, they're still top mid Feb. Have to respect that they will be in the conversation when it's all said and done. Good win for Arsenal but the 'chips weren't stacked against you', you were at home against playing against 10 men, that's quite a favourable stance. The NLD will be telling as to what Arsenal are about.

you wouldve lost against 11 leicester players today you know this right? utterly toothless when it was 11 vs 11 while they were cutting you open

I'm calling it right now: Arsenal's winning the league. Leicester's been exposed.

Good tactical moves by Wenger. And what a comeback for Welbeck.

How were they exposed?

This Villa side is giving the Derby side of 2007/08 a good run for its money. Absolutely awful.

Even Toure scored

it was 11 v 10

so do we get those chelsea games back?

shyt it should have been 11 v 9, drinkwater's "tackle" on ramsey should have been a straight red.

Being American I find it interesting that with the promotion/relegation, places like Bournemouth and Swansea are represented in the top flight, in contrast with the struggle of Birmingham as a city and the Tyne/Wear area fighting off mass relegation

I think that for anyone outside of London, Liverpool & Manchester it'll always be chop and change. Those 3 cities hold the powerhouses of English football. For everyone else their success is dependent on getting a good side together at the right time (Swansea over the past few years) and/or the investment to have a few seasons in the top flight (Bournemouth).

Location also comes into it for where players want to move to. You look at a place like Norwich, that whole area has only ever had Norwich and Ipswich in the top flight. The Norwich manager was asked a few weeks ago whether he thought their location put players off moving to Norwich, he said no but I don't think that's the case.

Leicester are the shining light for the midlands teams at the moment. West Brom aren't playing nice football and are 'just getting by', Villa are doomed and the rest are chasing the top flight dream (Birmingham, Wolves, Derby etc). It's not been a great 4/5 years for the North East. Sunderland struggle to get by each season, Newcastle having a nightmare season after average seasons in the past.

Oh yeah, best believe that location has a lot to do with player transfers

Man, Fergie would have already tied up this league by now

This season is hot garbage

Having said that, I hope Leicester or Spurs win it
