Ah.....

Well we can at least console each other that we both support toilet football clubs....


Indeed. Although you can find some comfort that your team compete for the title in the best football league of the world.

Sadly that ship has sailed

Everyone expected Leicester City to blow up. But the reason "lesser" individuals/teams blow up is because the pressure gets to them when the better team starts coming back at them. But what has been forgotten is that of those teams:

Chelsea and Man United were never in it and Arsenal and Man City are the ones that have "blown up". There is no reason why Leicester should be afraid of a Tottenham team that have won little more than Leicester (2 league cups to 1 I think) in the last few years.

Spurs have a nasty run-in compared to Leicester (Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea!) not to mention 5 points to make up.....

No, its the Foxes for the taking now.

This morning one of their 19 year old strikers died in a car accident. So not much good news from my side of European Football.

Best of luck to Brighton and Burnley today. Nothing against Middlesbrough but would be great to see these two in the Premiership next season; Burnley because they are one of the "great" names from yesteryear and Brighton because I want to see Chris Hughton doing well - a much underrated manager.

Aston Villa have been an absolute disgrace this season and will bow out of the Premiership plum last and with less than 20 points to their name.

Their fans? Look at this clip. The Villans were away at Watford and listen to the reaction from the fans when they won....... a corner. Priceless

Well done Villa fans - hope you return to the Premiership next season.

Status: offline 		Feeling deflated this morning. Its not the losing of the title to Leicester (that was conceded weeks ago - see above - and they deserve the title) it was allowing Chelsea to come back last night. Haven't won at Stamford Bridge since 1990 and looked like we were finally going to break that hoodoo but.....

And as for the indiscipline. Alli is already out for the last two games, Dembele will surely now follow, then Rose and Alderweireld injured and frankly Harry Kane has looked exhausted in the last two games. Keeping hold of 2nd is going to be a tough ask.

Still some work for Pochettino to do - there is a need to strengthen in attack and midfield. Chadli, Son, N'Jie are just too lightweight and Lamela still needs to improve.

Still if someone had offered 3rd place at the start of the season I guess I would have taken it.

I think your team is up for the task.

Would have been more interesting though, if the title race was still open.

Warspite has a point though. What's happened this year is quite unique (and refreshing). The biggest clubs failed and Leicester was there at the right moment and place to bag this title (kudos to their players, magnificent coach and fans). Teams (and their fans) like Tottenham may think -understandably- that they lost a golden opportunity. They did. Planets don't align very often, which is why you must seize these few opportunities when they appear.

Liverpool after all is a historical team that already won many important trophies (but last league they won = many moons ago).
