@Gman

so arsenal then? Its not as if they have had scintillating form all season. The drugs could explain one thing if it was solely Leicester named. But how could Leicester get so much better than Arsenal so just based on drugs as the piece is alluding to.

Woolwich invariably always finish a season like a steam train and look as fresh as a daisy on the first day of the season in August. Last season they picked up 28 points from 30 in 10 league games from early February to early May. 2013/14 they won their final 5 league games to overtake a tiring Everton for 4th. 2012/13 Woolwich won 8 and drew 2 of their last 10 league games to overtake a tiring Spurs for 4th. Now they’ve back to back league games against Everton and Watford and they’re talking confidently about rattling off 7 more wins from 7 to overhaul Leicester.

Tottenham look very fit this year. Remarkably so.

You clearly haven’t been watching them too much of late. Spurs have been jaded and out on their feet for a good 5-6 weeks now. In 7 games since the start of March just 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Could do with a top up then. Maybe best they drop below the radar given these allegations surfacing.

Harry Redknapp waxing lyrical here about Wes Morgan who has won 25 caps for Jamaica in the paper this morning…

The obvious precedent is Blackburn Rovers 1994/95. They were 8 ahead with 6 games to go, picked up just 7 points off last 6 games. They did fall over the line by a point though, but that was largely down to Andy Cole missing a sitter at West Ham in the dying minutes of the final game of the season.

Manchester United threw away an 8 point lead with 6 games to go in 2012, losing to Wigan, drawing with Everton and losing the ultimately decisive game to their title rivals Manchester City.

No room for error now for Liverpool. They can only get to 69 points (which Leicester are already on) by winning their last 8 games and have to make up a goal difference of 19 in those 8 games. Leicester losing all 6 of their remaining matches will make inroads into that goal difference.

There’s a goal difference swing of at least 14 built into those calculations, as Liverpool have 8 games left and Leicester have 6. If 6 of the 14 remaining games involving Leicester or Liverpool are decided by a margin of more than one goal, the title is ours.

Ozil mugs off West Ham, shocking defending mind you.

[Tassotti]

West ham fucked over for a perfectly good goal

[myboyblue]

Thats because West Ham are hated by everyone.

[myboyblue]

Ah thats a lovely finish from Sanchez. Hard to believe this West Ham side are as high in the table as they are to honest. Arsenal are carving them apart.

[myboyblue]

This Iwobi kid looks the real deal as well.

[myboyblue]

Trademark Andy Carroll header. A baysht of a man. England will be very foolish if htey don’t bring him to the Euros

Inevitably teams with limited resources like West Ham get tired at this late stage of the season. They’re probably quite old school in their approach to strength and conditioning and sports medicine.

Woolwich look incredibly fresh for a side playing their 48th match of the season.

[myboyblue]

Outrageous from Carroll, the big man is back. The Euros could be his stage. 2-2.

[Tassotti]

Andy Carroll goal machine

[Matty_Hislop]

Hon Andy Carroll.

[myboyblue]

Could you imagine bringing Rooney to the Euro’s ahead of Carroll? Roy needs to back the big man over the fat man.

[balbec]

I like them. They are edgy.

[myboyblue]

You’re just saying that mate.
