I hate the Spurs (not as much as Chelsea tho) but Ali is going to be something special...  Kid is only like 19 years old...

I know we're rivals, and most often, my guys are on the wrong side of the score, but I don't hate Arsenal at all. More like a grudging respect, rather than any venomous dislike. I save that for Chumpski, ManUre, and Best Hamhocks. I hate those teams along the same lines of how much I hate the Falcons and Saints.

 

I honestly believe that you feel the same as me. Or else, why have we had such good discussions about each of our teams over the past couple of years? You don't commend something you hate in your heart, and you've given my team far too many props for me to believe you do. It's okay to enjoy the rivalry, kind of like trying to beat your brother at sports. Just know that one day soon, the little bro is gonna eventually win against the big bro consistently. My hope is that you still can still enjoy the matchups even then.

How ironic would it be if Spurs finally beat out the Big Four, but lose the title to Leicester?

Spurs been in a great form for the past 2 months but they tend to drop points to crappy teams.  If they to challenge for a title, they need to stop doing that.

Leicester story is amazing tho...  They barely survived relegation battle last year and now they are unstoppable.

Meh.. 2 is better than 5, and we're the youngest team in the EPL. Many more years of dominance may be on the horizon. I'd love to see us do it, but as long as we improved from last year, I'll be happy.

Correction Arsen: Spurs used to drop points to crappy teams. Poch has fixed that for the most part. We could slip, definitely, but we could just as easily rise to the top too. Guess we'll see at season's end whether or not we have what it takes to win it all.

Hopefully finishing 4th, 5th, 6th year after year is in the rearview for awhile...it would be nice to be in the cups for a change.  If the Spurs stay strong the next four games I believe it's a shoe in.

This first half is horrible... It's like watching Broncos vs Panthers...  Ref completely ignores blatant faults by Leicester and calls everything on Arsenal.

[Ja Rhule]

fuging crazy game... Ref did totally opposite in second half and Leicester got 4 yellow in 10 mins including one in resulting in red.

Welcome back Welbeck.

Puke, I've never had a premier league team just followed all the big boys. Decided L.c. would be my team after their support of our Panthers.  Tough loss for them today.

The second yellow by Simpson was just dumb...  A horrible arm pull will always result in yellow. 

[Ja Rhule]

Spurs vs City should be a great game.  Both teams need a win.

I'm not questioning it. Being down a man and under pressure for forty minutes is tough. The dumb foul at the end was no doubt caused by exhaustion. Shitty way to lose after gutting it out for almost and entire half.
