if you need an help finding some CB let me know! happy to help out. 2 losses in a row is painful especially the way we have lost. Emery seems to be focusing more on the UEFA cup but that's a risky game as Chelsea beat us more than we beat them if we make the final. Wolves away is always a hard match as is Leicester away this weekend, if we lose that as well its good bye to 4th.
Really enjoyable game . Could’ve been 4-4 , both teams had very good chances .
I think West Ham and Wolves will both kick on next season .
BTW, how many times did Sky go on about Tottenhams 100% record , impregnable fortress etc today ? It’s 4 games for goodness sake. It was obviously going to blow up in their (sky’s) faces.
Well done the “irons” Spurs IMO got away with it against Brighton but did not deserve anything today which now means tomorrow’s games are hugely important.
However i wish the Spuds well for Tuesday.
Wet Spam upped their game today and were worth the win so well done to them. Anderson looked dangerous on the left and Antonio was always a threat. Spurs, were threadbare and had an eye on the game on Tuesday. Janssen looked sharper and I can see him playing a bigger part on Tuesday, but reliance on Llorente and Jansenn shows how little we have left as options.
Janssen isn't in our CL squad, so far as I'm aware. Plus points from today... Rose was top class once again (we need to keep him) and Foyth is starting to look comfortable at RB (just a couple of positioning lapses). Davies was also on his game, but those guys aside nobody can hold their head particularly high this evening (especially Dele, who wasn't at the races).
Tough game tomorrow I think .
Loads of disrespect to Wolfie and Leicester ;) but I think we might nip over the line if we are triumphant tomorrow.
BTW Ben, if you were coming over after Sky switched the game , I can’t be there now. Was really looking forward to the Saturday game too :(
Can a butterfly flapping its wings in Burnley cause a storm in Liverpool?
Still feeling confident Lee? Should’ve had another Vardy Sterling bet this year….!
It’s really crap how Sky switch the games at such short notice…. Screws up loads of plans…. Will have to try and make it up at some point!
I couldn’t believe I was watching an Arsenal side today…. @ 30% their lowest possession stat in PL history
Even before they were down to 10 we were tearing them a new one…
Have to sign Tielemans…. He’s sensational
Best PL performance of the season…. We have a solid history of beating top sides but this was complete domination

Ryan - you were getting whooped before he got sent off, <wenger style>. I didn’t see the incident fully so can’t comment, but, that’s a shame if true (Maddison has form on this point)…. However, it evens out as there was the odd bit of simulation on your side too…
Anyway I’d have hated to have been on the wrong end of that game…. You just didn’t turn up…. Bizarre really as there has been some belting games between Arsenal and Leicester in recent years (often with us being on the wrong side)
Arse were being thrashed before the sending off.
Maddison, Thiely and Vardy were superb. Lovely style of football from Leicester.
Cheers,
Neil.
After Saturdays joke of a performance the weekend hasn't turned out to bad for Spurs. Does anyone actually want the last 2 positions for CL football?
All about Tuesday now for us. COYS.
Today was just embarrassing!! No possession no treat, pathetic defending!! You would not think we have 3 games left and a champions league spot to play for. Today was the worst performance I have seen in years.
Was never a red card tho.
Confident ?
I’m a City fan mate, the ultimate pessimist.
I’d said all along that Burnley was the one that worried me , and then your lot go and do that today 😳.
I still think there’s a twist and I wouldn’t be surprised if both teams dropped points somewhere , even at this stage.
4 th place is becoming a bigger drama now .
Neither of you are losing…. We’ll be up for the Monday game as we enjoy handing out bloody noses and and no striker has scored more against the trip 6 than yours and my favourite player Mr Vardy….
24:1 on Betfair is crazy for Monday…. Lump a bit on?
I want to win Monday, but, don’t want to see Liverpool win it, as the the media induced w@nkfest for Klopp following a Liverpool win would be hugely sickening 🤢
The referee was poor for the Leicester/Arsenal game, compare that to the Man U/Chelsea game the awarding of fouls or yellow cards the difference is night and day.
Leicester was the better team from start to finish, but did not score until after Arsenal went down to 10 men.
Come on you Liverpool fans..... right now just £14 gets you one of these...... https://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/d...-39-green.html

Burnley were 25-1 at one stage, for a two horse race at home
I always put a few quid on the opposition to ease the pain if we lose and some of the odds really are crazy at times.
The game you play is slightly different to what we’ve faced recently and gives us a different problem . I’ll let Pep worry about it for me. Hopefully Newcastle will get something first to take the pressure off.
Has Tielemans signed or is he a loanee?
Liking both Barnes and Maddison from what I’ve seen of them . There’s been some daft paper talk too of Chilwell and Maguire being targets in the summer.
Mahrez is getting pelters at the minute from the sheep in the stands. I really fancy him to kick on next season , it’s just that Sterling and Bernardo have been so so good .
Anyway, onwards and upwards. It’ll be good to abuse Brendan the Teeth again

I think City have it now, they will beat Leicester this weekend and then Brighton should be safe on the last day so they will win that as well.
Liverpool could drop points to Newcastle away next match but its not that likely. Chances are both teams will win the last 2 and end the season on 98-97 points which is a winning points total in most season, 97 points for Liverpool would have won the league every PL season but 2 if you include this season. So it is a amazing season for both clubs. Just think Leicester won it with 81 a few years ago.
The race for 3/4th on paper should now be Spurs and Chelsea, Spurs only need to win 1 more match to get 3rd, or draw both. Chelsea a win should do it. Arsenal for 5th (cry) and Man U 6th.
Frustrating for Arsenal losing the 4 out of the last 5 matches all to mid table teams is just pathetic. I think Emery's mindset is on winning the UEFA cup but with the way we are playing Valencia will hammer us.
with City winning 12 on the bounce, if you are a City fan of a certain age (I am) you believe that the chances of a slip up in the last 2 games increases; whereas if you follow form you'd say they continue that run to make it 14 wins. I think Pep wants this so much he will find a way of making it happen.
generally (and not just our Liverpool friends) people have been talking up the last 3 games as the potential banana skins, but now that Spurs, Utd and Burnley have been despatched they start talking about Leicester. Leicester play a more open game and that should suit City, but the Vardy curse is ever a worry
The press seem to have been less vocal about any potential Liverpool slip up and what people are less focussed on is the Liverpool trip to Newcastle. That could be tricky as it is sandwiched between the two Barca games. Have to wait and see. Just can't do "calmly wait and see" !
I couldn’t work out how to place the bet so probably not for me Richard!
It was all to do with the ref…. Silly me for thinking we were good 😆!!!
Not been a good strategy to lump on the opposition of late Lee!
Tielemans has signed (honest - tell that to Pep anyway)…. He’s top top quality…. He seems to love it at Leicester (who wouldn’t?!). They’re talking about £45m and he’s worth every penny
We’ll swap you Mahrez for Nacho?
Sterling and Silva are better…. Simple as that…. Doesn’t mean that Mahrez is bad and could get better…
Follow deluded Brendan on Twitter it’s truly hilarious…
No…. Absolutely not…. I want to lord it over you that we have one more PL trophy than you have for many more years to come…. You’d love one wouldn’t you? Well…. You can’t have one (yet!!!)
Having said that I want us to beat Man City; I just want Liverpool to slip over a lot and muff it up at the same time!!!
It’s called having your cake and eating it!

Think the Leicester triumph will go down in history far more than other Premiership glories for a long time to come but still wishing Vardy & co the best of luck next week :)
On another note heard on 5 Live this morning that a number of Premier League sides are contemplating installing safe standing sections in time for 2019-2020 season, some manufacturing company has let the cat out of the bag. Will be a nice safe option for the supporters of standing to have (not that it will be close to the 60's 70's standing atmosphere of swaying all over the terraces, crushing behind barriers (god forbid if you fell) and going home about 5 lbs lighter due to sweat loss)
Well I’m on a 53p ͏lo͏ss atm!
(And there’s only one si-teh)

You’ve come back being all pleasant which has made me feel bad 😔
There’s a big move to have it at Leicester…. Many supporters want it…. Frankly I’m quite happy to sit! But, happy that they get there is area…
I was at Rapid Vienna last year with work and they had the whole of one end dedicated to safe standing…. Even had three little stages for the kappos to conduct the chanting…. Creates a belting atmosphere apparently…
I think as the young working man has become priced out of football and sad middle aged farts like me scoop up the season tickets the atmospheres have suffered…. I join in with the odd chorus if really moved (sit in the kop) but want to hear lots of noise!
Royal Blue at that 🦊

You can cash in on Betfair, ie bet the other way.
Lining myself up for a big fall here but right now, as the odds have dropped, I’m 63p up

Tottenham have been abject against a talented but limited Ajax side. The injuries have really hurt them. From an English perspective it would have been better if Man City had gone through as they would have beaten Ajax. Spurs lucky to be still in the tie IMHO. Seems none of their players know how to deliver a good cross
