I guess you guys might have more information, but a british doctor confessed he gave doping to Arsenal and Chelsea players (and cyclists and who knows what more).

Let's see what comes out of this investigation...

Very worrying if true, although I am not naïve enough to think it does not happen in British sport, it is still shocking if these allegations end up having substance. After all of the people caught doping in the last ten years you would think that people would not do it, I mean I can see why clubs would employ this tactic so playrs can run longer but its not going to make you tactically any better or your technique magically like Messi. Hopefully they are unfounded but on the other hand could just be the tip of the ice berg :(
 
I don't know why-but I'm pretty nervous for Leicester lol.

Probably because it's another pants season for my club and I've got nothing to celebrate after the incoming gubbing from Man Utd later today
 
Leicester now 7 points clear at the top. Safe to say it's their title to throw away now
 
Sunderland (A), West Ham (H), Swansea (H), United (A), Everton (H), Chelsea (A). Tough fixtures ahead of Leicester. The only consolation for them, if any, is that Spurs seem to have it a bit harder.
 
If Leicester blow this now I can see a LONG lasting hangover effect into next season for them.

Be absolutely devastating to not win that first ever title from this position in your own hands. Still getting over '13/'14. Before Klopp tipped up and gave us genuine hope, you wondered just how many years more we'd be looking back at that run in not being as close again.
 
Andy Carroll 3 Arsenal 2 after Gunners had a 2-0 lead. BUT-he's very lucky to be on the pitch after his studs up challenge on Koscielny. Again appalling officiating.

But also this is why Arsenal won't win a title with some of the defending on display. **** of a derby game though.

Edit-okay 3-3 now. Holy ****

Absolutely. Hard to see them loosing this now.

Amazing achievement if/ when it happens, but that said, with absolutely NO disrespect to them intended, Arsenal, Chelsea, City, L'pool, Utd, 'Spurs ..... hang your collective heads in shame.

Wenger, YOU especially.
 
I think the fact I tipped them for relegation was the catalyst for the title win, if anyone would like me to tip their team to struggle next season I will gladly take donations ;)

I don't see why him especially, Wenger has done better than all the other managers of the teams listed bar Pochettino

Respectfully disagree. The only worse disgrace has been City with all there resources.

Either of those sides have failed massively in this of all seasons with everyone else SO poor from the get go. Arsenal will never of had a better chance to end the drought.

But, with everyone else being so poor surely he has therefore done better than them

Which isn't saying much when the only serious opposition they've both had to overcome has been Leicester City!(And to a lesser extent Tottenham.).

But LVG, Pellegrini, Mourinho etc are all even further away so surely they have done worse especially with the cash of both manchester sides

Tinker man busting all the myths and excuses used by other clubs.

1. No need of 2-3 years to implement their philosophy. He altered his tactics to suit his team. Van Gaal should be ashamed to use that as an excuse.

2. Never used **** excuse like "it's not his team", the one Liverpool fans use to defend Klopp. Most of the players used were there when he signed and IIRC only Kante, Okazaki and Fuchs are the players signed this season (with signed I mean signed and played regularly). Even Okazaki has shared his games with other players.

3. No need to spend big like Wenger used it for years. Even Jose this season sulked that he didn't get his targets and here we have a manager who is showing how it's done with scraps and rejects.

Schmeichel was sort of Leeds reject, sold him against his wish.
De Laet, Simpson, Drinkwater were ManUtd rejects and never had any chance of making it at United.
Schlupp didn't impress our coaches when he was on trial 2 seasons back.
Mahrez was playing in French league 4th divison 2-3 years back.
Vardy was in non league few seasons back.
Huth didn't get game for Stoke last season, so was sent on loan to Leicester City.
Albrighton was Aston Villa reject.

Like you said, if Leicester win the league then it will rank as one of the best sporting achievement.
