    The league is starting to take shape, but anyone from 10th and including arsenal could go down... its far more interesting than the top end this season

    Well top spot is done and dusted so no exciting title race and Man City will be second but there’s a lot of teams challenging for 3rd-6th for European football including yourselves. At the bottom the bottom 2 look cut adrift points wise (although Watford have shown signs this week) so it looks like potentially one relegation spot to fill at the moment.

    We're half way through the season mate, top spot is far from done!

    It pretty much is though mate. Even if you lost 4 games (you won't) then City are still gonna drop points on the run in.


    Matter of when, Tel will be booking his holiday to the Bahamas shortly.

    It would take a collapse of epic proportions for Liverpool to miss out now. Bookies will be paying out next week I imagine

    After Man City last season I am not happy until it happens. City are good enough to win every game left and will buy in january to please the upset Guardiola

    I know we should definitely go on and win it but I'd be stupid to predict it's done. Imagine the pelters I'd get if we ****ed it up.

    Fosse lot, conceding seven goals in two games. It's just like they've rolled over and died, and conceded it's Liverpool's title. I thought they would at least have put up some sort of fight!

    It was more like watching Champions, play relegation fodder, how much do Leicester players get paid?

    <laugh> True.

    You have to remember though that we have been in a big deep dark ****ty hole. Our players have looked like pub players with a hangover, playing with their bootlaces tied together. How the **** we are only 5 points behind you at this stage is a miracle.

    And whilst we were rusty in attack, yesterday we looked more like the old Arsenal, creating chances and playing some nice slick football. We looked more solid in MF and defence too. It's early days, Arteta is only one game in, but already he looks like he's got this lot organised.

    Leicester were never even in the title race. They were our easiest game this season, by far!

    By saying Liverpool have already won the title, they are trying to pretend they don't care.

    The Rodgers effect. He did it at Liverpool as well. He gets the players wound up into a frenzy.

    But he won trophies at Celtic. Whoop.

    If you ****ed it up from here, you'd get pelters regardless mate.

    I don't think you will though, the way you swatted Leicester aside yesterday was very telling.

    They even have to entertain fans with pre match light displays now, because Leicester have become so boring. It's like the supporters are plunged into darkness and they forget to turn them back on, when the players come out.
