    <p>I like Claudio Ranieri as well, he got hammered in the press during his time at Chelsea, but always seemed to keep a sense of humour. Was widely tipped to be a disaster at Leicester, and first out of the job, and here he is, top of the table. </p>

      <p>Liverpool have firmly ensconced themselves in their rightful place in mid-table, and going on cup runs. It's a shit squad of ordinary players bought by a guy with no fucking clue. Fuck you Rodgers, you got lucky with Suarez, and having Sturridge for the 3 months he was actually fit. But you filled the squad with over-priced junk. I feel for Klopp, he's a dude, but this job might be the death of him. He needs to burn the place to the ground, and start again.</p>

        <p>Yeah agree, massive fan of Ranieri here. Really stoked for the guy and what he's achieved so far this season.</p>

          <p>get rid? They signed him for 5 years! 5 fucking years!! He generally concedes the first shot on target sent at him!! Our defense is prone to huuuge lapses, and what do we have to bail them out? A fucking keeper who can't keep a shot out?! jesus that deal defies belief. He's got to be one of the worst keepers in the league. </p>

              <p>I wonder how patient Liverpool ownership will be.  It's taken Pochettino almost two years to weed out the chaff and rebuild the squad from the grass roots up, Klopp has a full on rebuild of his own</p>

                <p>I watched that shit this morning. What a crap game. The 2nd half was nearly devoid of shots, just both teams turning the ball over. Liverpool are crap, good luck Klopp, you're going to need it. </p>
                <p> </p>
                <p>If they are ever going to challenge for anything meaningful, they need to bring in an entire new starting side. And that will not only cost money, but take 6 months to gel. I doubt he'll get that time. So I doubt any improvement is on the way. </p>

                  <p>Big wins by Arsenal and Spurs yesterday to close the gap to leaders Leicester to only 2 pts.  Although Man City aren't out the title race it's probably a 3-horse race with 12 games to go.</p>

                      <p>In another shocking development Fulham had their second win in 4 mths :huh:</p>

                        <p>City certainly have the capacity to go on a winning run - but appear to be a little too dysfunctional to do it.</p>

                          <p>You'd think the players would be out to impress Pep seeing as how he has allegedly been given an open cheque to sign whoever he wants.</p>

                          <p>But the reverse seems true. Totally unmotivated in the main.</p>

                            <p>There will be more twists and turns.  The top 4 teams all have to play eachother (excluding Arsenal and Leicester City), so points will be won and lost, and all play Man Utd.  Games vs Liverpool and Chelsea also lurk for most of them.</p>

                                    <p>Yes, my mistake.  They have the easiest draw of the top 4 and no other games like FA Cup and Champions League.</p>
                                    <p> </p>
                                    <p>Leicester still aren't the bookies favourites though.</p>

                                          Love the way Leicester are tearing up the Prem. Plus Spurs are second and have conceded fewest goals in league. I'm not sure that's ever been written before at this stage of the season. Maybe the apocalypse is upon us.
