    Happened to Martinez at Everton, too.
    Hughes at Stoke.

    Awful defending from Leicester. Gifted United 3 goals from corners.

    Really feel like Ranieri set the wrong tone for the season by playing down their chances again. They're champions, they should be striving to play like champions, instead they look like a team that's just coasting through games, not really bothered about the result anymore than they would in a friendly.

    Vardy and Mahrez subbed off.
    White towel thrown in.

    Lots of teams scouted Grey before he joined Leicester. That's why.
    One more goal and Man Utd might wobble.
    Fragile at the moment.

    Since Greco-Roman wrestling has been removed from football, Stoke City and Leicester are no longer able to defend. Who would have thought?

    That's what I was thinking Brian, that's the last two seasons where changes in refereeing have had a major effect. Last season the tolerance of hard tackling enabled Leicester, this year the clamp down on penalty area wrestling has had the opposite effect.

    Hull commit suicide again. For the second week in a row they go down to 10 men in the 1st half for punching the ball off the line. Lost 4-1 last week and are 3 down today after 35 mins

    They won their first two and everybody was euphoric, now we're seeing the real Hull.

    Now with Palace breathing down Chelsea's neck, come on Arsenal.I never thought I'd be saying that.

    I must give you a thousand lines.

    I must never say "come on Arsenal.
    I must never say "come on Arsenal.

    It is illegal and against the law....even though they are playing Chelsea!

    Yes! Ozil!

    I really never thought I'd be saying that.

    Partly I hate Chelsea so much more than anyone else. Partly Arsenal could win or lose by ten and it would be unlikely to affect their Groundhog Day season, while Chelsea are coming off a year when they quit, so a hammering might make their heads drop.

    Cue Chelsea scoring four...

    Conte will probably blame Mourinho or Hiddink for this.

    Called it at the start of the season. Chelsea have a lot of problems that just bringing in a new manager and a few decent players won't fix. Think I had them down to finish 7th. Might be much worse than that if sides like Everton push on this season.

    Chelsea could be looking behind themselves at Watford.
