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

Probably right.

City players at least and most likely the ould fella will have an eye on midweek.

Scandalous the game is on Sunday too.

Southampton should be seeing city b

 

I can't see any of them moving to an English club. Why would you? You're playing CL football even if it is only for 6 games. If one of the big foreign clubs come in for them then could be a different outcome.

I think the club will say give us a year, let's all do this together and after that if we drop back and big teams come in for you then you're free to go.

 

No Aguero, No Silva, No Kompany, No De Bruyne.

BTTS and Saints win @ 4/1

 

You going for it?

 

I've got the feeling that Spurs will beat Chelsea.

Leicester must win against Everton because getting a draw with Everton will not prevent the whole thing going to the last day. I can see Spurs winning their last 2 matches.

 

£5 on it... probably shouldn't be betting when I'm annoyed though

 

How gutted would you be if you were one of those fans holding out for your 5000/1 bet and they go and blow it with 3 games to go

 

That will be the mother of all collapses. Worse than ours a few years back.

Ps: totally gutted. I would never have let it reached that point. I would have cashed in half of my earnings !

 

Citeh win and top four is all but done

 

I think Leicester today showed where they would be without Vardy. They have one way of playing which has done them well no doubt, but without that pace up top they don't look very threatening. Teams can play high up against them knowing that they don't have to worry about them lumping the ball long in behind them and they aren't good enough to pass the ball through teams.

No disrespect to what they've done this year, they've been so consistent, but they have 1 way of playing and to counter that you just defend deep.

I think teams haven't shown them enough respect and instead of working a way of stopping them score, teams (and most of the big teams) have though we'll just play our way and we'll win. If big teams actually sat back and defended deep against them and asked them to break them down then they would struggle and I think that's going to be their issue next season.

Teams will sit deeper to counter Vardy's pace and ask Leicester to actually pass the ball through them rather than go longinto space behind and that's where they could be unstuck.

 

They happened to get it together in a season without any other dominant consistent team. If it was the previous season or the Suarez season with Chelsea and LFC then they would still be top 4 but not champions.

 

They'd have won it in 96 season......a "dominant" team is a consistent team be it a 1-0 team or 4-0 team.

Leicester have been a dominant team...lost 3 games all season...

 

Odds?

 

Sure they were the only consistent team. If there was another team like Chelsea last season, their points tally will not have been enough. Don't get me wrong - they made the best use of their resources and they played as a team. They deserve to win but it is also indicative how inconsistent and under par the big clubs have been,

 

The odds are he'll lose again.....

 

All true...there's been better quality years but (with games to go) I'll still point at 3 losses as the real reason they are top...only Chelsea have matched that winning the league in the last ten years.

I think there's been a shift from the kamikaze football of our nearly miss and city's triumphs.

Add to that that the lower teams now have 30 mill and over next two years 100 mill each to spend on players. The years of a team raping and pillaging by buying are over.

It'll need another United type 5 finds in the youth to build a team that dominates totally and even then the competition will put a better fight in than back then.

 

1-0

City defence just fall asleep, Long nips in to score.

 

Considering the beeb Sports dept are supposed to be neutral why is Saj Chowdtray so begging Saints and City to draw 0-0
The man u loving peeps at Salford HQ should honour their contracts and remain neutral.

"After that flurry of fun, the excitement has settled.

I'm predicting a 0-0 - don't let me down Saints & City."

 

City's defence

 

2-0...

Mane just made up about 20 yards on Kolarov who couldn't give a **** and just walked back

They're concentrating on Madrid even more than we are on Villarreal!
