If City beat Villa and win there game in hand there ahead of Arsenal. Funny thing is I think they have been pretty bad in the league this year.

Good old Spurs, 2-1 up against 10 men. Come on Leicester

Arsenal will win

Will Loftus-Cheek ever start?

Spurs set pieces have been terrible

Let's have a draw and a Leicester win, come on

But the quality of the top teams has dropped even though Utd have spent loads of money, Arsenal have signed big players for big amounts of money (these players where not needed by there own clubs anymore) and City signing unproven players for the prem when there are good enough players in the prem.

So you would take Otamendin at Chelsea. He would get no where the subs bench let alone the first team. You blame Pellegrini but Kompany has done fine in years before. I bet if they signed someone like Williams instead they would of been a lot better off. I agree Pelligrini doesn't help putting Toure in CM where my nan runs faster. I hear everyone on the telly and media saying Arsenal need a forward for years now but he never signs one. He only signed Cech because Chelsea let Arsenal have him otherwise they would still have Ospina in goal. I wasn't talking about big signings anyway was I, I said when media etc say Arsenal need a certain player, normally in the January transfer window and he never signs one. And Man Utd have signed and spent loads of money the last few years and still went out the group stages of the champions league.

So basically the quality of the top teams has gone down lol. Utd have seemed to be alright spending money to me. Arsenal simply find 4th as winning the league and Wenger is arrogant so won't sign anyone if anyone tells him he needs players. City have made dreadful defensive signings

Rather win the league by 10 points than lose it on the last day like Utd did against City. But I could always think that was unpredictable so makes it better ;)

But at the same time it could be said would a Chelsea team from 2005, the Arsenal Invicibles and the Man Utd teams would dominate this league, maybe even get record points. I do agree the standard of some of the lower teams is better, Stoke, West Ham etc but then look at Villa. I don't think the standard of the lower teams has had a direct effect on the bigger teams. I feel this has just been one of them weird seasons where City, Chelsea and Utd have really underperformed and next year they will be back in the top 4. Like I said it's been a weird but entertaining season but I won't be suprised if the top teams are back at the top contesting the league and Leicester mid table.

You are making it up and it's not based on fact is it. Both times Guss has been here are different teams and different situations. Then you can't take the games Guss has managed then put it across a season because it benefits how you want it to be. Players could of got banned when they didn't before, certain players could of missed 3 months of the season when they havnt. We might aswell say Steve Holland would of one the league based on 1 game.

Spot on, for all we know certain players might of got injured in certain games Guus played them but Mourinho didn't. It could go on for ever.

In the past the top 3 teams in England could go toe to toe with the top teams in Europe and beat them, the last few years and now I think it's been pretty obvious they havnt got the same quality as the top European teams.

Oh right that's the reason ;)

Didn't happen in 2008

I agree, If Mourinho goes to Utd and will have loads of money to spend. Guardiola and the same at City. Klopp building his own squad at Liverpool in the summer. Conte will have money to spend at Chelsea. I can't see Spurs and Leicester being in the title race again and we all know Arsenal don't look any higher than 4th ;)

But then there hasn't been many winners of the Europa League from England lately.

Having quality players isn't good enough alone. This Chelsea team is nothing on first Mourinhos teams. That team was a machine. Lampard, Cech, Carvalho, Terry, Maka, Essien joining. Drogba. It won the league on record points not because everyone else was poor, because that team was of a high quality with a high quality manager. Like I said City should of run away with this league. They have quality players but they have had a lot of injuries, I don't rate Pellegrini as a manager who keeps playing Toure in a 2 man midfield. There defensive signings have been a joke. If they just signed Williams or Reid from West Ham they would of been a lot better signings. Put the top 3 teams in England against the top 3 in Spain and Spain will nearly always win.

Well that's wrong. It's pretty obvious the quality of the top teams has dropped. You just need to look at the champions league the last few years. Look at the teams. Compare this Chelsea team to some of the teams in the last 10 years. Same with Arsenal and the invincibles, obviously with Utd and some of there past teams. City should walk this league this year.

Exciting league title race but piss poor quality

Swansea really should of scored there

Swansea made 6 changes for the Arsenal game, I think 3 at the back too.

There's a barren spell then there's Hazard lol. Wellbeck has more goals

Watched the end of the Leicester game, apparently they had hit the bar twice earlier and when I watched they had the chances to win. Morgan should of scored, Mahrez decided to go for a scissor kick when it was easier to do anything else and they also missed a chance from 6 yards out with the last kick of the game. Very unlucky but a typical Pullis team.
