2015/16 Premier League

It's nothing that commands a lot of respect or emits an aura. Even Brendan Rodgers could win the bundesliga with Bayern.

I agree but winning the league with AZ is an ok effort. Still needs to go soon. He isnt the man to take United forward.

or even LVG

I do not respect anything he has done since 1999.

A 3rd place in a world cup, an eredivise title and a Bundesliga title with Bayern. The latter would be the highlight and winning the league with Bayern is barely a par season.

Champions league in 1995 and back to back La Liga in 98-99 is the noteworthy achievements in his career IMO

I'm sure your respect is what he so desperately craves you muppet. It might be (relatively) easy to win the Bundesliga with Bayern, but it is no mean feat to win the Eredivisie with AZ. A feat that has been achieved exactly twice in 48 seasons, in 1981 and 2009.

Last time a team at the top of the table at Christmas didn't finish top 4 was Villa in 1999. Fingers crossed for the foxes.

If United don't win it, and lets be honest they won't, i hope they can hold on and win it. Though i doubt the can go all the way

Leicester would be everyone's 2nd team right now. If it's not Arsenal a part of me would be happy with one of the all time great against the odds sport stories.

 

[Jason Maher]

Yep. A mere added bonus that it would deprive Arsenal and City of more silverware.

Edit: LOL@LOLerpool

Watford are a half decent team, only 1 point away from 4th spot

 

[saint.nick]

We made Watford look more than decent. Our team is pathetically spineless.

Calling it now: Winner of tomorrow morning's match will win the league.

Leicester aren't playing?

 

[BunniesMan]

I struggle to see Leicester keeping this up over the season. I hope they do finish in the top 4.

As for City, I didn't realise that we haven't lost to them since 2013. Four game undefeated streak.

 

[Tigers1986]

Leicester's bubble will burst as the weight of expectation hits them. They aren't used to that. It's been a wonderful run but Europa places would be their goal.

The title is City's to lose. Arsenal will fall away like they always do, Liverpool (LOL) and United (LMAO) won't get close to those 2 though.

Relegation is the battle that will be interesting. Villa are all but down, Sunderland will struggle to stay afloat, and then it's between Norwich, Swansea and West Brom.

 

[BunniesMan]

Boom. Boom. This is our title to lose. Ozil with two more assists. 15 already he is within 5 of Premier League record.

And i have no doubt that you guys will lose it

Well yes I'd still put our chances at 50% at best. 40% City, and the other 10% split between Leicester, Spurs and United. But our destiny is in our hands. We're in a position where draws against big teams from here on in will be enough. If we get consistent results against small teams (which has been relatively hard for anyone to do this season) and don't lose momentum against the big teams we will get there.

 

[Twizzle]

and the same could be said for about 4 other teams

Well no, my point about settling for draws with other big teams doesn't work for them because they are 4+ points behind us. If the status quo maintains then teams like City, United, Spurs, will have must win games against us while we'll only need draws.

Of course all this is assuming Leicester comes back to earth.

That bit could apply to any of the other teams

2-0 to stoke after 25 mins United in deep shit yet again. LVG looks lost on the bench.
