    Good analysis of our game from MOTD for once. "United should've been out of sight in the first half". "Peppered their goal" "Should have won by 5-6 nil" "Grant saved them"

    No exaggeration either.

    Yes, but Stoke are awful this season and better teams like City, Spurs, and Palace do actually put 4 past them.

    Yep but we all have games like ours today, including City, Spurs and Palace. I also think it's been Shay Given in goal prior to today? Grant was immense today.

    Yeah I watched most of it, I think you're missing my point though. Yes you played well and are starting to gel what I meant is that another game or 2 is probably required to get the team playing really well. As I said I'm hoping that's the case.

    The Sky Sports commentators had it spot-on.

    You can tolerate poor GK distribution when you have the likes of Pique et al who
    are able to control the ball under all circumstances. But when you have yer typical
    PL back four lump, the GK better be pinpoint in their distribution when the
    opposition is a pressing team like Spurs.

    And in sympathy, Spurs supporters we regularly criticise Lloris for his
    distribution mares.

    Bravo looked shaky, but the tactics were down to Guardiola and they weren't working.
    Constantly passing it back to your keeper when he's struggling and nobody's showing for it is a poor tactic.
    Kolarov went into his shell after the own goal, Zabaleta struggled and the press put the keeper under constant pressure.

    Luis Enrique is happy to take the blame for a similar situation.
    Guardiola should hold his hands up to this one, in my opinion.
    "The Barcelona goalkeeper has to take risks. I'm not going to criticise individual errors."
    "He has to play passes and when it goes wrong, we are not going to kill him."

    Wijnaldum has pulled his hamstring playing for the Netherlands against France.

    Phew, I thought you might start a new thread to mention that Matthew.

    You see, you can do this.

    Just seen the line ups...

    Chelsea look so bang average on paper, with their saviour 'Moses' as the main man <laugh>

    If Leicester don't win this as PL champions they're officially embarrassing.

    Good game for the neutral. I believe everyone is a winner here...

    Come on you Foxes.

    Chelsea stink of piss.

    Went on to their board earlier. Stinks of piss there too.

    Like walking through a subway after StanDMan and his bezzies have spent a drunken friday night down there with their cans of Holsten.

    I'm placing a bet Conte will be a bigger overrated flop in England than Scolari.

    Top 3 overrated flops in the English game so far...

    Conte - club Chelsea
    Scolari - club Chelsea
    AVB - club Chelsea

    Have Leicester been banned from defending set-pieces or something?

    Leicester still on for relegation.

    Called it before a ball was kicked this season. Total embarrassment to English football.

    Refereeee <doh>

    Huth on a yellow already, blatant handball and then kicks the ball away. Leicester should be down to 10 men.

    2-0.

    Leicester. Pathetic.

    Leicester deserve nothing.

    Imagine what Barcalona would do to these mugs!

    Chelsea look better with wing backs pushing forward, agreed.

    This is embarrassing from Leicester.

    Ranieri favourite with bookies to get sacked now. Rightly so.
