3-2

great game this

an incredible game from the best league in the world. Must be great being an Atleti fan when your players care that much and will dig so deep to get the win even when they're 2-1 down and their defence all over the shop. Wish Simeone would come over here in a couple of seasons instead of bloody Inter, I'd love to see him take on Conte, Pep, Mourinho, Klopp and co.

Griezmann at United will not be fun for the rest of us (well, maybe not us as we won't be here next season)

he looks a lot slimmer, fair play.

Don't care what they say, if Leicester go down this season, they're gonna be devastated. That title win will soon feel like a distant memory when they're up against Burton and Rotherham.

it was only about 3 years ago they'd been in that league for a long time playing teams like that every week. It shouldn't be that distant.

Is this why Arsenal are fated never to win the prem again?

are they saying "never lose at home"? The emirates is notorious for some truly embarrassing home defeats for arsenal!

When i see that idiot Heavy D, it makes me glad that all humans eventually die. it makes me happy that i'll die one day and not have to put up with crap like that. Honestly, what an utter arsewhipe of a human being, i don't understand how some people can live their life that badly.

Premier league is utter dirge

So, Vardy in a fire sale anyone? Or Mahrez come to that?

Vardy was good for 2 years and IMO did pretty well when he actually got a chance on England. He can also play LW and striker and can still keep high pressing sides like the RS and Spurs honest. He's in a slump and no will never score 20+ again but its not like his legs are gone or anything.

I'd also take Mahrez.

I don't think its a case of they've both gone bad overnight (they need to fire Raneri, they are in a Everton situtation in which the manager is likable and had success but they aren't just playing for him right now and its only going to get worse) and we'd have on our flanks: Bolasie, Mahrez, Vardy (who can provide cover if Rom goes down), Mirallas, and Lookman. That'll do.

*Insert snarky comment about all the new fans they got in May 2016 never seeing them play in the League before here*

Premier league is utter dirge

I would say Leicester's utter collapse would suggest otherwise

There's been a massive jump in quality for most of the sides this season, whilst Leicester have stood still, hence why they're struggling

Look at West Brom chugging away in 8th at the moment, they would have been even higher up last season

Look at us compared to last season FFS

I laughed but it really is poor that. Should be banned and fined.

That Gabbiadini really is a crap crap crap version of Pipo Inzaghi isn't he?

He is absolutely nothing like Inzaghi mate.

Other than the fact that they're both Italian.

Yuck. Garth Crooks agrees with me. I feel dirty.

However, his second goal was sensational and reminiscent of his Italian countryman Filippo Inzaghi at his best. There is so much about Gabbiadini's game that reminds me of Inzaghi - not least his finishing.
