My Man Utd friend is very happy.

My inner Arsenal fan is happy too.

Too much chop and change from Pep.

And again it's all predictable. Pass pass pass, can't find Haaland?, turn around and pass back.

kane made a un-kane-like great play in the box for the second goal!

That was a shocking ball to his centreback.
What was he thinking? It's the sort of thing I would expect from my beloved Saints...not the mega-rich superstars of Citeh.

Ederson taking notes from Lloris then.

 

[daneoni]

City fans booing their players is the epitome of entitlement. Wow.

 

[Sal09]

Hugo returning favour.

Taking his own man out lol.

 

[MBAir2010]

Reporter: Guiseppsi Conti, how did you lose a 2 goal lead in 2 seconds?
Conti: :"eeeeeeehhhh, laugh, smile heheh Well, you stunogge no football in your brain eeeehh, laugh-wink"

3-2

Brilliant finish by Mahrez.

 

[Sal09]

Lloris is done.

 

[MBAir2010]

too close to challenge that ball Perisic,
great strike by Mahrez.

poor Conti.......I want to watch his post game interview, big time!

 

[daneoni]

Back to normal service.

 

[HandsomeDanNZ]

3-2

Brilliant finish by Mahrez.

I must admit - he's thrived under Pep. He just seems to have really pushed on, skill and confidence-wise.

 

[Silencio]

Just Spurs being Spurs.

 

[Lord Blackadder]

I must admit - he's thrived under Pep. He just seems to have really pushed on, skill and confidence-wise.

And yet nothing he's ever done, or will do, at City will be more memorable than being a key player in Leicester's Lets-enjoy-this-one fairytale-before-football-eats-itself title run.

 

[HandsomeDanNZ]

Wow.
4-2

 

[Sal09]

What a night Mahrez is having.

2 assists and 2 goals.

I agree with that - and I wonder of it could ever be repeated in today's money-driven EPL.

Arsenal this season. 🙏🏻

FA dont like us being on top. Most of the English media got issues with us being on the top. Even the pundits keep writing us off. They all hate our guts and yet we keep on pushing with very little squad we have.

 

[Silencio]

How on earth are Spurs in 5th place? I just don't understand.

 

[Sal09]

Big games over the weekend.

Liverpool v Chelsea
Arsenal v Manchester United
Westham v Everton

Massive inconsistency on the part of teams around/below them.
