We Go Again! The Premier League thread

First topic message reminder :

I'm shocked!

[Holymiky]

Chelsea 1-2 Tottenham

Cahill.

Leicester need not worry; even if they don't get sorted it against Everton, Chelsea will let them win!

And then the bizarre media love-in for Jamie Vardy can carry on, as well as the nauseating love-in for the club as a whole.

It's because it's a change from the norm of a clubs spending money to win titles

Well that's true, if you ignore the £55 million spent by Leicester over the last two seasons.

Lol, which is still a lot less than the bigger clubs

Yes, but it rather defeats the media myth that Leicester are some gallant penny-pinching club, striking a blow against those dastardly established clubs, a true David v Goliath story.

so you wouldn't agree Leicester are a small club compared to the usual top 4?

In reality, Arsenal have choked. Chelsea and Man City have had horrific seasons. United and Liverpool are in transition for an eternity (it seems). And Leicester have got some players in form, kept things simple, and profited from the worst quality season I can remember in my life - I mean West Ham could still get top 4!!!

Arsenal choke every year, Chelsea are rubbish this year and Man U have been for the last couple.
it seems you are trying to come up with excuses, most of them happen every year!

would say the love in is to do with the fact Leicester looked like they were going down, then went on that amazing run to stay up.

Then from there one season later now on the verge of winning the league.

I'm glad its between Leicester and Spurs, makes a change from the 2 manchester clubs and Chelsea.
Makes it a bit more refreshing.

Is fabergas always this crap?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Why did he take off Matic and leave Mikel on?

[Holymiky]

Is fabergas always this crap?

All i need to say is no.

He's been better in the second half.

[Fernando]

2-2 - Hazard

[Guest]

What a goal, hazard turns up

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'm fully expecting Spurs to go full Spurs second half and this finishes 2-2

I hope so, Golly.

Full Spurs achieved

[nathan]

Get in!!!

[Fernando]

Lamela stamps on Cesc's hand gets away with it.

ballsy.

[Fernando]

Dier goes in with a shocker could of been straight red

Fight no.3 underway

[Holymiky]

Terrible challenge from Dier.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Will Spurs have any players left not banned by the end of the season?

[Hammersmith harrier]

Love that from Dier, proper old school.

[nathan]

How many bans are Spurs going to get from this game, is that 2 now?

[Fernando]

2 so far Lamela blatently trod on Cesc, Dembele eye gouging

Chadli on for Alderweireld - crippled by a Costa tackle which was clean. who'd have thought he'd be the cleanest player here so far

[nathan]

Love the Chelsea fans chant

[westisbest]

ah cmon spurs, make it interesting

[nathan]

ah cmon spurs, make it interesting

This is interesting enough for me thanks!

[nathan]

Spurs deserve to lose this, they've been dirty today

[Hammersmith harrier]

Just a shame none of these have been on Terry.

[Fernando]

Dier probably should of been sent off there got away with one. Mason flew in for booking no.9

[Guest]

Leicester City - Premier League Champions.

All kinds of amazing. Congrats to the Foxes and their fans

Won't ever see it again.

[Fernando]

FT 2-2

Leicester champions

[Guest]

Perfect for the Toon, Spurs with nothing to play for & some suspensions.

Congrats Leicester

[Holymiky]

Congrats Leicester

They still haven't secured second..

[nathan]

Spurs completely lost their heads tonight

[westisbest]

Leicester City - Premier League Champions.

All kinds of amazing. Congrats to the Foxes and their fans

Won't ever see it again.

God ill never hear the end of it freek.

Am up in the east midlands this weekend.

Am prepared for alot of sh1t as wifes family are all Leicester fans, and the fact that we have not just gone down but finished last.

[Fernando]

9 Yellow cards. 2 bans incoming should of been 3.

Fair to say their heads blew big style

Arsenal for 2nd is on

[Guest]

Beer, Westy. Plenty of it!

[Guest]

Doubt Arsenal will beat City. Spurs 3 pts clear & still play Southampton at home + a 14 GD advantage over Arsenal

[Holymiky]

9 Yellow cards. 2 bans incoming should of been 3.

Can Lamela still get banned for stamping on Fabregas?

Also Dier definitely should have been sent off, suprised he didn't go back and book him again after the advantage.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Massive congratulations to Leicester - thoroughly deserved winners

Enjoyed Dier hacking everyone for the last fifteen minutes and then fighting everyone in the tunnel

[Guest]

Well done Leicester. Dilly Ding Dilly Dong. Sports Personality of the Year should be the Leicester show.

[nathan]

Most bookings in a single game ever in the history of the league from Spurs tonight

[Hammersmith harrier]

Massive congratulations to Leicester, thoroughly deserving champions.

[pedro]

Shame on spurs for such a dirty performance.

[Corporalhumblebucket]

I'm fully expecting Spurs to go full Spurs second half and this finishes 2-2

[Guest]

Pochettino congratulates Leicester and says they now have to remain focussed to secure second place.  Because of an overwhelming goal difference they need to get three points from the final two games and Arsenal have to win both their games including away to Man City.

[Fernando]

I don't think Jamie appreciated Harry's endless lion pictures

Jamie Vardy ‏@vardy7 9m9 minutes ago
....

[Guest]

The Two Biggest Stories of the Season:
1) The abject performance of defending champions Chelsea and the sacking of Mourinho.  At one stage Chelsea were in danger of falling into the relegation zone.
2) Last years almost relegated side going top of the league and staying there to win the Premiership.

I wonder what the odds were of having bet at the start of the season Mourinho sacked and Leicester to win the Premiership? 100(?) x 5000 = 500,000 to 1.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

When you sit back and look over a decision you regret in life, just remember it could be worse...

You could be Jordan Veretout and have picked Aston villa over Leicester this past summer...

[Guest]

To be fair, Veretout would of just been the 'Gokhan Inler' & sat on the bench or the reserves. Is Inler even going to be receiving a medal for playing like five games? Veretout would of been as forgettable at Leicester, as he has been at Villa. I doubt Inler is taking any real enjoyment or satisfaction from this season, he's the oddman out.

[westisbest]

Exactly, cant even get in our starting 11.

Actually think hes a decent bloke though.

[Ent]

Congrats to Leicester well deserved.

The other guys will be kicking themselves but no one could match their consistency, pace or desire.

[Breadvan]

Thought Clattenberg handled the game well when it looked like getting out of control. Him and is assistant did miss some off the ball nonsense tho. The FA will be rubbing there hands today...

[GSC]

The last 2 games have really been a microcosm of this season. The big guns have simply failed to apply any kind of consistent pressure.

[Hero]

GSC's either quoted that or it's the word of the day on his calendar.
