Motson "the fairytale over" Leicester are still 3 points clear ffs. They're absolutely desperate.

It's done my head most of the season. They cannot just talk about them like they're an extremely good side playing well, after every win it's "the real test will be when they start to believe they can win it!" or something else extremely condescending.

It's an absolute piss take, it just makes me want to do it even more.

Thought Atkinson was woeful today. Started off making poor decisions for both sides, soft penalty to Leciester, but then as the game wore on and particular in the second half he clearly let the crowd getting on his back influence his decision making - in tandem with the Arsenal players constantly whinging (they really are a bunch of radgies). Absolutely no justification for it being 11 vs 10 given that if the Simpson sending off is the norm then a couple of Arsenal players should've been off the field also.

 

Thought he was very good myself considering the intensity of the game. Not perfect but you never can be as a referee.

Sherwood says we'll be safe. No reason to worry then :thup: He knows what he's talking about

 

Clearly never watched us play

 

Actually said as much last time he was on.

 

Wants the job.

 

Aye, it was a strange response and there was something about it that made me think he was positioning himself for the job, or has already been lined up :anguish:

He had a good first half but went to pieces in the second. The sending off was a really soft letter-of-the-law one, fine, but if you're going to be firm with second yellows then you need to be consistent - Arsenal got a free pass with that the whole second half and Cocquelin should blatantly have had one for randomly trying to start a fight with Mahrez when he was being subbed - you can't out of nowhere run twenty yards, push someone then grab them by the shirt and not get a booking.

 

The Mahrez sub was such an error, man.

Nah, he's the only player who isn't that intense on defense or closing down. I'd have thought going 3-5-1 would have been a better shape though.

My wife's a Villa fan, and many of our friends back in the UK are Villa fans. We came to a mutual decision not to talk about Villa at home any more.

 

That is one of the saddest performances I have ever seen from a Premier League side, culminating in one of the most pathetic goals conceded of all time. I have no more words.

They're such a diabolically good front three like, I can't want anything other than for them to obliterate the opposition whenever Barca play.

 

It just looks like they're having ridiculous amounts of fun playing football, which NUFC had almost made me forget was even possible.

I actually don't think that defeat will hurt Leicester as much as pundits tend to think. Obviously it's a blow when they were so close to a point, but when you look at things in perspective, they've gone to Man City and Arsenal - where most thought they'd be "found out" - and picked up 3 points, something I'm sure they would have taken beforehand.

 

People thought they were losing steam (me included) around Christmas when they looked very lacklustre for 4/5 games. But crucially they've come back even stronger and given that, I see no reason they won't be in the thick of it come May, and I still think they'll do it. They also don't have any other competitions to worry about, so whereas other teams' (admittedly deeper) squads will be stretched, Leicester will near enough always from now to the end of the season have a week in between each game. So I can't see them burning out either.

 

Fingers crossed, anyway.

P.S. Martinez can fuck off with this "we did nothing wrong" shite. The scoreline begs to differ, Bob. Sort it the fuck out.
