    I think there is a good chance you will retain the title.
    This season was a weird one though. City were in a transitional year and Arsenal never really got out of second gear.
    You won the league with the lowest points total in nearly a decade (since Leicester), so its going to be possible to get at you.

    The points total was affected by us winning it though, we had nothing to play for and I think we lost 2 and drew 2 if playing for something chances are we'd have done better and had a better points total.

    Aye I guess.
    You definitely didnt turn up for your game against us the week after you won it.
    I expected us to be trounced, but your players may aswell have been wearing flip flops and sipping Margheritas

    Just kidding about winning it though although we'll be up there and IF we get Kerkez, Wirtz and a striker.

    Keeping some players it's also important imo Konate of course but Elliot and Quansah as well.

    Growing rumours that Danny Rohl is now No1 candidate for our gig and 'may' even be in active discussions... **** knows - whole situation is now quite bizarre ...

    Considering the players he has and ridiculous chaos behind the scenes at Sheff Wed he’s done a superb job. Was apparently lined up for Southampton for ages. His style of play isn’t pretty but that might just be the ****e he is working with.

    Was a lot of rumours that he was holding out for an offer from Germany which is why we moved on to other targets. Be interesting to see how he does if he does end up at Leicester.

    That's good, so how many ST's is that and is that full capacity, so no pay on the day?

    Don't think clubs are allowed to sell full capacity as ST's. 80% is upper limit in PL, not sure about EFL.

    Historically there has always been a fair bit of 'angst' and the fixture has always been seen as a higher risk category from a policing perspective - one of my cousins (female) was a copper back in the 90s and was part of the footie anti-hooligan unit (Leicestershire) ...

    25k - so 7k not - but a good proportion of them (obviously excluding away) are only on sale to members ... at least initially ... max away allocation is 3k...

    Not saying there hasn't but it's mental to put it up there with the other 3.

    What are the other 3? ...<laugh>

    OK - watched it now - only thing I'd say is that Leicester to Cov is 24 miles - what's yours 20? ... so not hugely different - whereas Norwich to Ipswich is over 40 miles ... so why would the latter be any more intense etc than Leicester / Cov?

    I've no interest in football anymore, I'll watch Liverpool games and might even attend one now and then but outside of that I don't care. Used to watch all the interesting games and enjoyed Sunday afternoon football and Monday night football. It's a **** sport now with loads of social media Muppets like the Arsenal bunch or the angry Man Utd bloke sat at a desk or the bald Irish Liverpool guy who's just as bad.

    You've then got the fans banging on about net spend and club finances as if they know a single ****ing thing about it.

    My oldest has stopped ****ing about with his mates and is joining a decent club again 1 below the Welsh PL so the football is decent, I'll be watching that other than the VAR techno **** served up on Sky Sports.
