I know i'll change my mind when Arsenal score a hatful, but 25 min in I'm really enjoying the Arsenal-Leicester game.

High tempo, both teams finding space and mistakes all over the place

Leicester's tenacity and workrate is phenomenal.

You think they shouldn't be able to keep it up for 90, but they've shown time and time again that they can.

And Kante is a gem of a player.

Kante's ability to nick the ball from behind without touching the running player is actually quote amazing

Yuk. That's a cynical move from Vardy.

Not a dive but out of the Andy Johnson school of winning a pen (which I hate) of making sure you trip over the leg of anyone who gets in front of you

Indeed. Would love to see Leicester win this game and the title. But not like that.

Nice to see Arsenal so rattled though.

Awful lunge from Ramsey - lucky to not get a str8 red tbh.

Arsenal fans booing the ref and chanting you don't know what you're doing for dealing with it. Imagine their outcry if that was a Shawcross challenge.

Oof last kick of the game after a f*cking stupid foul

2 moments of stupidity lose it for Leicester


This could be the moment that kills Leicester's momentum. Hope not

Anyone get the impression the rest of the Man City squad don't like Iheanacho?

He scored that goal, ran to corner to do his God thing and not a single player went over to celebrate with him

Could tell as soon as I saw Clattenburg was ref that City would lose.

tbf aside from the awful pen decision, I got the impression he fancied a city win. The number of bookable challenges he let them get away with was rather :shock: for a modern prem ref

Having said that he was lucky not to have his leg broken (again) by an X cert foul on him by one of the Leicester midfielders
Can see a retrospective ban for that

If our fans thought we were hard done by yesterday with the penalty decision how would you feel if you were a City fan?
One of the worst decisions for some time IMHO.

As for Vardy's penalty what on earth was Monreal doing tackling with his right foot and going across the player leading to an inevitable penalty?

Good to see Liverpool getting their usual win at Villa-how bad have Lescott and Richards become in a fairly short time?

Good to see Pardew losing again-is that 6 losses out of 7 plus one draw?
And people were seriously putting his name forward as the next England manager.
His spirit and flair bollocks style of management works for a year or so until the players realise there is no depth to it all-Palace won't go down but their slide has been quite dramatic.
