The Official 2016/17 Premier League Thread

Clichy and Stones are not players you want at present in a defence.

 

[vkn17]

fk you City

 

[Kandi1977]

Still not over, but that could have made it a bit tastier. Chelsea are so jammy. They don't even play good football, just counter attaching.

Carbon copy of Leicester

Oh, well, top four looking all the likelier now that City lost. Chelsea can still slip, but I reckon they're out of reach now, really.

They have been for a while I think. We may close the gap a little.

But we only 7 points off our record total with 8 to play. We could smash our previous best which is a massive achievement.

Had stones actually been a decent footballer we would have been 5 off. Alas, it is 7. You never know though, Chelsea could fudge up against the smaller boys.

I just saw Pool drew!

I did not know this! Haha. I wa so close to writing "worst night for spurs in a while" on here and it all changes!

Indeed. Bournemouth away for them next. Bournemouth could snatch a draw or even a win on a good day.

Yes. Honestly, 7pts over 8 games is a few points too many to chase down, when you bear in mind how many matches they have lost all season.

Finishing 2nd has got to be the realistic target though (no harm in keeping the pressure on Chelsea). CL football got a real step closer these last 4 days.

8pts clear of 5th with 8 games left, and thats worst case scenario assuming United or Arsenal win their game in hand, which IIRC, are City v United. Southampton v Arsenal.
So could even be 10pts with 8 left, plus better GD.

We're not there yet. But if we can win the next 2 home games, we will probably secure a Top 4 finish by avoiding defeat in the final 2 home matches

City were terrible. All out attack in the first half and Chelsea could do their usual sit back and counter thing. The fact that they don't have a keeper cost them this game. Then John Stones happened.

boro's second goal is a disgrace, offside twice in the process

ref should be sacked

 

[Mr_B]

Silva will leave Hull at the end of the season and manage in LA Liga, something like Valencia would be a good fit.

So would Man U, Arsenal, Everton.

Impressive isn't he!

how come adam didn't get a card for the deliberate handball from his failed corner?

Because the ref couldn't write for laughing.

A deliberate handball doesn't necessarily mean a caution, sometimes only a foul.

Along with the ref who ruled out Saudi Sportswashing Machine's penalty..shocking mistake

I didn't see that, what happened?

There were other players inside the area, but instead of a retake he gave a freekick to the defending side. Then argued with the 4th official for a while without changing his decision.
