Hopefully, people are starting to realise that Leicester & Rodgers aren't as good as people made them out to be. They were fortunate to leave Selhurst with just a point - if the players cuts out individual errors for Palace, they pick up wins I'm sure of it and Vieira is clearly doing well, two subs score the goals and Olise looks impressive, looking forward to seeing more of him (except against us of course) I feel for Rodgers he can be good but I don't think he's a long term manager and with Jamie Vardy getting on in age its going to be interesting to see who can continue his work. Fofana is a big miss for them because when I think about it he really did carry that team defensively. The fact that he kept trying to aim for top four and twice he fell out on the last day of the season. I think right now he's missed the chance to get back to those levels right now. The Premier league has gotten tougher over the years because now even the smaller teams are slowly creeping up on the big boys in terms of fitness. The only way I can see Leicester possibly making top four is if one of the other established teams falls off majorly this season and given the fact most teams around them has strengthened themselves leaves Leicester with virtually no chance now. They need to just work on staying in the premier league at this rate and come out of Europe competition this season. My issue with Rodgers is less with him but more with his reputation - great job at Swansea, up and down at Liverpool which was more down than up (I'm still miffed how he blew that title challenge), won lots at Celtic but there wasn't any challengers at that time plus did nothing in Europe with them & whilst he has done well at Leicester, a substantial chunk of the groundwork was laid down by Claude Puel who brought in a possession based style after the counter attack play of Ranieri & Shakespear as well as a few current members signed under his tenure such as Ricardo, Maddison, Evans & Soyuncu not to mention Tielemans who came in on loan whilst Puel was still there. This is why I was never really on the Rodgers bandwagon and was quite happy he wasn't interested in becoming our manager. |

On current form I can't see Leicester City getting anywhere near the top four. Entertaining game between Liverpool and Manchester City although quite how James Milner escaped a second yellow card is beyond me. Another great win for Brentford. Brentford I feel may be in the league for a long run. I do like what Thomas Frank has done with that team |

Every Liverpool fan hated me for a while with the way I laughed at them for blowing that title challenge. All they needed to do was get a draw at Anfield against Mourinho's Chelsea and beat Palace. That Gerrard slip became a meme for years to come afterwards 😂😂😂😂. |

It seems as though the Newcastle takeover is now complete.
Now we're going to see big name footballers coming over saying the same old strapline constructed by their PR Team. It goes like this
"When I was a young man I always dreamt of playing for Newcastle United" 😂😂😂😂.
You couldn't make this crxp up.

It goes like this "When I was a young man I always dreamt of playing for Newcastle United" 😂😂😂😂. You couldn't make this crxp up. Like London EasyLink who used to run the 185s, you might be able to go out and buy lots of new stuff, but things may still go wrong further down the line  Newcastle will still be their crap selves until the Transfer Window, there's no guarantee the new owners will want to plough all their money into the club. I'm saying that as a Spurs fan, where the club is owned by billionaire Joe Lewis. Granted, the new stadium is nice, and we saw an influx of players in the summer window, yet Nuno hardly plays them. Not that they need to be in constant use like EN38, but they like to show players or assets off and keep them benched. Look at Bale last season, who saw more benches than a magistrate in court  Perhaps from January they can push up the table, but I think the Big Six can sleep comfortably at night  It depends on what players they can lure to the club, and what wages. They will have to face competition rules like everyone else. Man City haven't been that great now Grealish joined, ditto Man United with Ronaldo. There is a lot of hype at the moment... Let's see how things pan out... |

Maybe Ronaldo wished he'd joined City - Man Utd have been poor lately and with no trophies so far it appears that nothing has changed under Ole

Mendy fully saved Chelsea yesterday against Brentford. My goodness those shots were coming from everywhere. As for Villa. How did they manage to throw away a 2 goal lead.
Dean Smith must of been fuming after that result.

Dean Smith must of been fuming after that result. People beginning to realise how incredibly overrated Mings is - Konsa is the better defender along with Cash. Taking off Douglas Luiz certainly helped Wolves. Meanwhile, it didn't got well for Newcastle Arabia, their fans are laughable shouting for Bruce to be sacked (as Shelvey received his second yellow and a red) as if anyone can really do any better with the players they have. Probably the most unrealistic fan base in the league - for all of Ashley's faults, one thing he did do was have financially secure Newcastle as pointed out by fans of clubs who have nearly folded or no longer exist altogether. |

See with Newcastle now it's going to take a while to fix the mess Ashley has caused over the years. Newcastle Arabia 😂😂😂 excellent wordplay. I wouldn't be surprised if Villa try and go up for it against Arsenal on Friday. The fact that Arsenal hasn't scored against Villa since being the manager is a bit alarming. |

I don't think Ashley has actually caused any mess up there - now some of his decisions were strange at times but the fact that right throughout his tenure, the club have been financially solid at least shows he actually had some good intentions unlike Mel Morris at Derby for instance who spent beyond his means and then went to try and hide it behind a particular accounting method. Villa are becoming a bit of a bogey team for us so wouldn't surprise me if we screw that one up but our form has been solid if unspectacular so who knows |

This will be Vieiras first visit to the Emirates since 2011 I believe. |
