What are you all on about? Shirley Utd are still joint top.

They are on games played

Don't forget we're only top on points difference. It's like goal difference, but less important.

Someone mind explaining to me how after yesterdays defeat they have barely drifted at all in odds for premier league winner? Whilst Chelsea and everyone else have gone from 20s to 85s+?

Lukaku - Bony

Fair point

I particularly enjoy the bloke saying that time should have been added on for when we continuously won throw ins and corners at the end.

What a strange man

Nope didn't see that mentioned but the clip has been heavily edited so they may have cut that part. That was the only viable penalty shout in the match for me. I thought there was contact on Jesus' claim(around thigh height) but it would have been a harsh one, no dive though and I don't blame him for asking for one if he felt contact.

The commentators never picked up on it either.

It’s simple really. The bookies thought they had very little chance before yesterday and they still think they’ve got very little chance. However, should City lose 5 out of 8, which team is closest to City? Not only that, for Chelsea or the Dippers to win it now, not only do City have to fall apart but the rags do as well. There’s no doubt they’ll keep blowing away the bottom 14 most weeks so, logically, they’re the only ones with any chance. At least that is how a bookmaker would view it.

MOTD did to their credit.

They have serous problems with 4 of those 14 though. I see them 5th at best, Spurs will focus on league now, Chelsea are inconsistent but better, Liverpool are better despite a bad blip and Arsenal are as good with less distracting from Europe. Plus, the ****s have to try to win one of the cups now to make out that they're a great team and not a pile of shit.

Not a murmur in the playground this morning and afternoon from a few of the dads who are big reds when they win. I just stood there and I didn't pipe up about the match once. Was pissing my pants laughing inside. Softarses.
