Maybe announcing Pep is going to backfire.

Thought this was a nice acknowledgment from Red Star Belgrade today.

No that loophole was closed; would be 5 teams in the champs league next year

Sevilla won it last year and were Spain's 5th team

What a fantastic performance by Leicester. So so impressive.

Still fancy City for the league but what a story it would be for Leicester. Even if they get CL football it will be an amazing performance.

Lord TSC

Would have zero problems with Leicester winning the whole thing. They play some great football, and Mahrez is just a fantastic player to watch. Wold love to see him setting up Martial next season :P

Jose at the Dortmund vs Hertha game. Invited by Dormund apparently.

Hopefully just scouting Aubameyang for us :P

Leicester play Liverpool (home), City and Arsenal (away) in the space of 12 days at the start of next month.

They still have to come to OT, they have to go to Chelsea, away to Palace, away to Sunderland.

They have to play Watford, Everton, West Brom.

They do not have what you would consider an easy run in, if they make it through the 3 games at the start of Feb with more then a point I will start to take their top 4 credentials seriously, as it is though. With or without us finding form they are not going to finish in the top 4 imo.

So my point remains, Leicester will not be a team who stands in our way of CL football.

Spurs are a serious threat though

Is the league over? My opinion is ever evolving depending on how things progress rather then dogmatic, they have certainly forced me to take them seriously.

Oh and being wrong is ok you know, I am pretty sure the sun will still come up tomorrow

Number of goals scored is not a good measure of how attacking the football is. When you've got one of the richest/strongest teams in the league, it's possible to score plenty of goals on the counter, while still limiting the numbers committed forward.

True, he is better in run-of-the-mill league play when things are going well, although he's still fairly conservative. But then when it comes to big games, or there's any sort of pressure on league reults, he plays awful stuff.

But when his team consistently scores most goals in the league it's hard to say he is defensive coach.

Yeah in big games he sets up very defensively which is something I don't like but one positive is at least 30-32 league games will be played with attacking intent.

Hopefully we don't watch his classic meltdown very early in his ManUtd career if he joins United.

Fans leaving before the full time whistle.

Poor Kloop nearly cried the last time that happened.

There were a few lads around the place whose hearts went out to him at the time too.

Then they got great pleasure when United fans left when results weren't going our way.

Funny old game really.

Not sure if you're taking the mick or not, but the walk-out on the 77th minute was pre-planned as a protest over ticket prices. Liverpool were 2-0 up at that point, so it was nothing to do with the scoreline at the time. The team , or Mingolet more pointedly, threw it away in the last 10 minutes when the protesters had already left.

Thanks a lot Watford,useless ****s.Tomorrow is without a doubt,the game that will decide our top 4 chances. I can't see us making up 7 or 8 points on Spurs if we don't get a win.

It' not true though. Kasper was born in 1986, Peter didn't sign until '91

Chinese teams buying all the players now.

L'Equipe are reporting that Lavezzi will be moving to China.

Any predictions for tomorrow guys? Badly need the win for any chance of top 4. I'd say 1.1 draw

Yeah, it is reported Lavezzi will get €10 million a year after tax.

Price hikes all round coming for players and wages.
