2015/2016 Premier League

[mariner4life]

<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>

[mariner4life]

<p>and those three are Leicester, Arsenal, and Spurs? Bizarro world</p>

[dogmeat]

<p>With Spurs and Leicester showing more form and having the easier runs home.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wouldn't mind any of those 3 winning it</p>
<p> </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>

[dogmeat]

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

[Bovidae]

<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>Err I didn't think Leicester had to play Spurs or City either</p>

<p>Norwich</p>
<p>West Brom</p>
<p>Watford</p>

<p>Man U</p>
<p>Everton</p>
<p>Chelsea</p>

[Bovidae]

<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>

[Hooroo]

<p>Gunners are, aren't they?</p>

[Bovidae]

<p>Leicester      3-1</p>
<p>Spurs           5-2</p>
<p>Arsenal        3-2</p>
<p>Man City      6-1</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The SPI has:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leicester      32%</p>
<p>Spurs           24%</p>
<p>Arsenal        28%</p>
<p>Man City      16%</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.

This Spurs fan is loving this. My expectations are being massively exceeded, I feel like we're playing with house money. Why can't we win the first title since 1961? It's madness

<p>It should be a great game, as long as the ref keeps it clean...</p>
