Man city missing de bruyne bad. Silva and moreso navas are predictable nowadays. For all their possession they didn't make many good chances. They rely too much on Aguero's brilliance. Yaya struggles in attack when they crowd him.
Aguero missed a great chance and made a bad pass in the dying moments when he could have made a difference.
Bony came on and struggled.

Demichelis went in like a rookie and Rashford skipped past and finished like a veteran.
Plus Hart and sterling came off injured, and in the cl last week kompany and otamendi were injured. So problems for city in the season run in. Man u and west ham could pass them for the 4th spot.

I kinda backing west ham cuz I real like how Payet playin. West ham will have to come good to hold on to him I think

Demichells had a bad game in general. Got beaten on the first goal like a novice, should've had a penalty called on him for playing man and not the ball, sloppy back pass to Hart which led to his injury.....not surprised he was ultimately substituted.

Man u just take a beating at Tottenham.
I only see the 2nd half but they hardly do anything.  Martial had a chance he shoulda scored but hit straight to the keeper.
Spurs on the other hand looked purposeful going forward. Good passing and running.
Poch have them clicking.

Manu was not bad in the first, but fell apart in the 2nd. First goal was Bland fault. He did not track fast enough. And from Spurs got the upper hand.

Wenger had very complimentary things to say about him last week. Says he always had bags of exceptional talent, only recently being applied maximally ... hence his recall to NT set-up. Has known him since he was at St. Etienne.

He is definitely vulnerable to the charge. Someone must have been whispering in his earpiece.

Do we have a Leicester Thread. They will be official champions if the beat Utd at Old T. But I read this article where the bookies will have to payout 10 million pounds if Leicester wins. Horray for the bookies.  ;D

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36105265

The UK's leading bookmakers face paying out more than £10m if Leicester City win the Premier League title.

At the beginning of the season, Claudio Ranieri's side were as much as 5,000-1 to finish as champions, while the odds were 1000-1 to be top at Christmas.

The Foxes lead the Premier League by five points from Tottenham and have lost just three times all season.




Leicester can guarantee themselves a shock title triumph with three wins from their remaining four games.

Betfred are the only bookmakers to have already paid out on Leicester as champions, after they beat Southampton 1-0 on 3 April.

"I've been wrong before but this time I can't see Spurs or Arsenal catching Ranieri's men," said Betfred boss Fred Done.

How much the bookies stand to lose

Ladbrokes: £3m
Coral: £2m
William Hill: £2m
Paddy Power: £2m
Betfred: £1.1m

At the start of the season, 47 people placed a bet with Ladbrokes for Leicester to win the title at 5000-1 - of which 23 have cashed out, while 24 are still awaiting their fate.

"Leicester's win would be the biggest upset in the history of betting," Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told BBC Sport. "It would be the worst result for us financially and our biggest payout by a distance.

"If Chelsea, Manchester City or Manchester United would have won, the total payouts would have been in the few hundred thousands.

"Leicester have been upsetting the odds all season but it is a brilliant Hollywood story that we are a part of. Hats off to anyone who backed them at the start of the season."

Last month, a Leicester fan cashed out for £72,000 from a £50 bet on his team to win the title.

Betfred slip

The store manager of the Loughborough branch of Betfred, an Arsenal supporter, wrote "pigs might fly" on a betting slip when a Leicester fan put a £1 on his side to win the Premier League title

Was so immersed in things, completely forgot to follow updates on Chelsea-Spurs. Also didn't even consider the match ending in a draw.

For years I've hoped to see Spurs do the business, and it had to be this season of all seasons.

Let's see how Leicester play out the remaining games.

Whoever placed bets on them at the beginning came out good. I'm sure a die hard granny from LC probably placed a pound or two on their chances of winning.

LC deserve it. They just did everything right. This is good for the BPL, and football in general. There is always a time for the underdog. Even if it takes over 100 years. Remembered quite well when Chelsea won in 2005 after 50 years. It was a big thing. Remembered quite well when Man Boo won their league after 20 odd years of being trampled by 'Pool. I rejoiced. But LC win is in a way quite unique. Last year they were the hydrant getting soaked. This year they are on the opposite end. They soaking the hydrant. Congrats, again.

Amazing yes. It must be good to be an LC fan tonight!

The transfer window will be interesting. Big clubs chelsea liverpool and man u out of the cl so they less attractive to potential players. They will have to break the bank. LC gonna have some cash and newfound glory. Spurs also in a very good position to strengthen a good side. Man City safe.
Before Pep was picked I was betting Aguero would be off to real madrid but now I don't know.

Hull looks the better of both squads with a lil left before half time.

Wednesday's keeper is keeping them in the game.
