As if Tierney and his thug lino weren’t bad and costly enough for L’pool yesterday, what happened to Brighton at Tottenham Sat’day was beyond a disgrace.

Third time this season the PGMOL has apologised to Brighton this year after games. Which utterly stinks.

Hard not to conclude they aren’t doing everything possible to keep a small club out of the CL.

I think there's a reason why nobody bigger than Southampton has ever shown any serious interest in him.

One trick pony free-kick specialist.

Few years ago I would have not agreed with you, but as time goes by have to agree. He is max mid table player, with English tax for transfer price.
There is not much he brings to the table to elevate midfield and controll it. Considering he has good tehnical skill and leg for dead balls, he is seriously lacking ability to use it during active game. Always side or back passes, playing safe. Years back he sometimes showed how good he could be. But I really think playing at Southampton has not done any good for his progress.
Yes I would take him to Leeds for sure as our midfield is big **** right now. But dont see top clubs going after him.
 
I've read an article on JWP and how moving him to a deepest midfield position changed the way he plays, for the worst. He's no longer main creative force and is instructed to 'keep it simple'.
But the more I see from him, the more I think he's not really a playmaker he used to be.
 
City are a proper weird breed.

Booing Cancelo after all he did there. Same Milner,

Like a boo them more than Evertonian's which is ****** impressive.

Not done yet but this is the season to win it as City only recently hit form and every other top team is in transition or not on the come-up just yet.

I personally think they lost the league last week mate. That was when thw title hit them when they looked over the edge at 2 up and absolutely **** themselves. Never been in this position to experience that pressure.

If I’m right, it will be the biggest bottle job in PL history BTW given the lead they had at Christmas. And I also agree this year, when the leagues SO poor, and everything has aligned for them, is their one chance to win it. All things being equal, they are levels below ourselves and City over the last 4/5 seasons and I think average squad reality will hit them next year with CL to boot.

You can defo see City winning out. Arsenal, not so much.

Which works for me as its just another tainted title for the cheats that nobody is arsed about.

Honestly, anyone being chased down by that cyborg and peps team can't be called bottle job. However, City and their one or two fans will tell you how poor they've been this year and only recently hit form (perfect time tbf) and with the lead they had and the lack of competitions they have had to play, Arsenal will be kicking themselves they haven't seen it home. Still, a lot to play for but it's looking advantageous City so far. Arsenal fans can point towards that top 4 was the aim but let's be honest, aspirations will shift when you are so close to the promised land.
 
I disagree mate on them bottling it. When you are historically a record number clear at Christmas, to lose the league from there is an absolute disaster.

I don't the unexpected leap from 5th to 2nd negates that. Made worse, as you say, that they haven't had the Cup competitions/ Europe to bog them down. And have been relatively injury free all year. They've had the perfect storm of everything. Absolute disastrous season if they end up with nothing for me.

Domino's shouldn't be arguing semantics considering what they call a pizza tastes like an old leather shoe.

This hit a chord with a conversation I had with my arsenal mate after the west ham game: he tried to play out this season as “arsenal exceeded expectations” and “2nd place is an improvement” yet he was so vocal as to how spurs “bottled” the league to Leicester even though Spurs never led the league by 10 points in December. This, by all accounts, is streets worse.
