    The BBC report actually says that Arsenal were flattered by 3-0 <laugh>

    Vardy has now scored 8 times in 8 Prem appearances against the Gunners

    #FosseFilberto what do you make of Rodgers so far?

    Personally I liked his tactics, but he was naive at times. Biggest issues were his lack of name and inability to attract top talent and his mannerisms to the media like he was reading a dissertation on boredom

    Nope... but it's 4 points which could make a huge difference .... we are having a poor season result wise compared to the past 4 years.

    However when injuries are taken into account...we have done well to still be in the top 4.
    These are prem matches only.
    Lloris has missed 5 matches
    Kane has missed 9 matches
    Son has missed 7 matches
    Vertongen has missed 9 matches
    Sissoko has missed 7 matches
    Dele has missed 11 matches
    Eriksen has missed 5 matches
    Winks has missed 8 matches
    Dier has missed 14 matches

    Then there was the whole bollocks of playing at the Wembley **** hole on top of it.

    No one gave us a hope in **** of being in the top 4...there was talk of City, Chelsea, Liverpool and United with and us fighting for 5th and 6th with Everton and West Ham and Arsenal.

    To have got into the top 4 and stayed there under these circumstances plus getting to the CL semi finals would be a good season. It is the nature of football nowadays that a good season requires CL football at the end of it.

    So, your whole team has missed less matches than Yarmalenko, Lanzini & Sanchez.

    Having not played at home...it is a remarkable achievement to have done so well not playing at home for a whole season.

    It nearly identical points but not form...we have lost 12 matches this season almost double what we lost last season.

  9. ...and we've achieved that even with all of our problems. That's because we're a good side.

    Arsenal are simply very poor.

  13. City denied a stone wall penalty .

    The ref wants the title to go to Anfield.

    Maybe those injuries explain some of your results.

    9 players ... that means we have rarely had a settled team...hence the difficulties we have had this season.
    TBH.. I don't get your point Ern ... I am simply explaining why (if we get top 4) it will have been a good season for us. TBH, Chelsea, united and Arsenal should be above us comfortably and IF we come top 4 whoever doesn't will surely view it as a chance squandered.

    Genuinely shocked they didn't get the penalty for hand ball... but **** knows why cos that's the ref who booked Son for a stuttering run up for a penalty and disallowed the goal <doh>
