Match Day Thread 2015/16 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Still, gotta give them credit and rather they win it than Spurs.

Just think ink they're going to really struggle next year with European football and the pressure of being champs and living to those expectations. Wouldn't be surprised if they finished mid table next year.

 

Leicester vs Barca in the CL would reflect how ****e the PL really is.

Could be quite embarrassing tbh.

 

Agreed. What I actually enjoy about watching Leicester is Kante though. Would love someone like that at Liverpool.

 

Would they be any more embarrassed than any other prem team? Leicester tactic might just cause them some issues.. Sit back defend for 89 minutes and then one long ball into space (Barca play really high) and let vardy run onto it.

 

Closest thing to Mash I've seen in a while.

 

He's unbelievably good. They found a real gem there. Reminds me of Mascherano but with more energy.

Someone described him as 'a dog with a bone' when chasing players down. He would get into any team imo.

 

To be fair, their league is pretty ****. We'd have to go back to having only 2/3 teams in contention every season. I'm enjoying the mix up a bit at the moment. The quality of the teams this year is ****, but the league isn't. It's pretty much the only one worth watching.

 

Exactly my point. They wouldn't be any more embarrassing than any other PL team

We're just dire in Europe, don't deserve that 4th spot tbh.

 

I don't watch enough foreign football to comment tbh. Although I do think it's become a bit of a myth/excuse that all other leagues are 2/3 teams only.

 

Rodwell missing a sitter

 

Oh and they like to waste time when 1-0 up too.

 

Yeah its like george graham all over again.

1-0 to the arse -nil... 1-0 to the arse-nil

i must say that they started real well and missed a couple, they merit it on the start and a stone wall pen not given. you can tell this ref is utterly determined not to give anything so nobody can accuse him of turning the title or relegation battle

useless ref.

 

what i would say is that actually leicester could "improve" our league as they are simply defending well. they are the equivilant of atletico in spain.. focus on defense and score the cough ups other teams give.

IF everyone could defend as well as them the attacking would then have to improve as you would have to actually have a bit of quality to score.

look at west ham... buried then arsenal bascially cough up handy ones. cuold have won it too... bit ridiculous of our league to be fair.

 

And the ref yesterday gave Arsenal everything including disallowing #legit goals against them just so it wouldn't be his fault that they've #bottledit again

 

Agreed, you only have to look at how many teams Spain are in the latter stages of the CL & Europa to see what a strong league they have at the moment.

 

Leicester aren't just winning the league.. They're doing it with absolute ease. Fair play to them.

 

they've really deserved win today.

fair play to sunderland for giving a go of it and not giving up

....

utd have bottled it before kick off and have not turned up.

 

Everton 1 point away from safety

 

Man Utd delayed until 15 mins and now 30 mins

Problem when Man Utd fans leave so late for a local game

 

BTW UEFA charged us for a kickoff being delayed a few seconds, Man Utd get an extra half an hour
