The Barclays Premier League 2015/16™

Southampton were at home

St. Mary’s is more of a home ground for us than it is for them, m8.

All of our team today bar one player have played at least 200 games for Southampton.

:grin:

71 points will win this league.

Fucks sake

what a clamping

Rashford and Kane with early goals in the 4pm kick-offs.

Rashford destroying the donkey Demichelis. As obvious a penalty as you can imagine waved away by the wanker Oliver. City are shit so far.

Sounds like a 1970s TV cop show.

Aguero misses a magnificent chance to equalise for the mercenaries after 90 minutes +1 of 6.

Result: Soulless Mercenaries 0 Manchester United Nil 1.

Pep had better like Europa League football.

@myboyblue mate, how did Rashford do today?

No idea, who were they playing?

He was superb, took his goal brilliantly, denied a stone wall penalty and ran himself into the ground. United are an enigma though, showing tremendous work rate and character against top 4 contenders and then disappearing against mid table dross like Liverpool.

Its been a terrific response by Leicester to pick up 13 from 15 points after the cruel way they lost at Woolwich. I’d add one caveat though, the four 1-0 wins, bar maybe facing Aston Villa, you couldn’t have hand picked nicer fixtures. Watford & Crystal Palace away - both distracted by runs to FA Cup semi, both featured in Top 6 as recent as December but both in free fall in 2016 & both are in the bottom 4 of the form league table from 1 January. Norwich & Newcastle at home, both of whom were in Bottom 3 when Leicester faced them.

It was a bit like that run of 6 wins which Spurs had from mid January to mid February, which featured Sunderland (H), Crystal Palace (A), Norwich (A), Watford (H) & Swansea (H) - a gimme run of games for a title chasing side.

There’ll be a greater degree of difficulty to most of Leicester games from here on in:

Southampton (H) - Koeman’s charges in form and chasing a European slot

Sunderland (A) - Tough visiting a side fighting to stay up in April

West Ham (H) - Chasing 4th and have already won away at Man City, Woolwich and Liverpool and most unlucky not to win at Chelsea and Man U

Swansea (H) - That’s the easiest looking game on paper

Man U (A) - In the hunt now for Top 4 and should still be by May Day when this fixture comes round

Everton (H) - Despite their awful home form (8 defeats), bizarrely they’ve lost fewest away games in the league, just once going down 2-1 at Woolwich.

Chelsea (A) - Nothing to play for but they’ll be awkward last day of season if Leicester still need a result.

I forgot all about it and was looking forward to listening to it.

The Arsenal are still available at 6/1 to win the league.

Just saying.
