What Mahrez is doing with Leicester is a lot more credible than what Maradona did with Napoli

Ok.

But but.. it's still mathematically possible isn't it?

Shut up idiot. Arsenal is mathematically out of the title race you stupid idiot. Your jinxing will only give Spurs the title. Do you understand what I am saying to you right now? Stop this immediately.

Spurs are playing like Arsenal would be if Wenger hadn't lost the plot and Giroud was anything more than a large traffic cone that occasionally has balls bounce off of him into the goal

He sees Arsenal in Spurs and he wants it to happen because then he can start to believe again. RG has fallen into delusion, yes, but he still has hope.

Praying for you RG

Can't anyone praise a player anymore

Praise after season is done.

Spoiler:

The thing is, yes, Mahrez has been majestic and coming into the season Leicester's squad was deemed as mediocre, but even all these championship and outcast players played at an exceptional level. And that can only be attributed to Ranieri.

What Ranieri did with Leicester is a bigger achievement than Klopp's Dortmund and Simeone's Atletico combined.

lol why because he did it in the epl?
lets see how he does next season, in the league and the cl

something both simeone and klopp despite not winning the cl atleast reached the final.

Dortmund and Atleti were both top of the table teams. Leicester's goal in the beginning of the season was to remain in the PL...

doing good in a very overrated league doesn't mean shit, doing well in the CL is an achievement.

Not that I agree with donuts but you guys are comparing apples to oranges here...

Completely different situations

Are you serious Donuts? It's a ridiculous achievement. This team had no resources or champions. They are top 2 in a league where they were barely surviving relegation last year.

Rainieri/Leicester have nothing to prove in the CL. Winning the league for them is just amazing.

Dortmund were almost broke and finished the league 13th before Klopp took over. Sure Klopp didn't turn them into champions immediately but that was his starting point of the club when he was appointed manager and he got them to several titles and a CL final. No one expected Dortmund to come back soon and certainly nowhere near the way they did. It's just underrated because people don't care about the Bundesliga and only see that Dortmund was a top team till 2003.

Obviously it's a massive, massive achievement from Ranieri but stuff like "What Ranieri did with Leicester is a bigger achievement than Klopp's Dortmund and Simeone's Atletico combined" is a joke.
Both these managers brought their respective club to a whole new level and achieved massive success over a relative long period of time and one great (as great as it is) season tops all of that? I mean come on now.

GOAT confirmed

Entered into annals of carrying to title, ala Maradona/Messi. And definitely more credible than Maradona "carrying" Napoli to first scudetto. Respect.

Harmonica according to that table Higuain was better than Messi this year. Is that true?

i'd say more credible than messi...i mean mahrez didn't have the same co-stars messi was surrounded with, no? and they're both playing in the same time period, unlike diego who played many years ago....he doesn't even have the same co-stars messi has with argentina.....maybe that's what we should be comparing

Messi, Maradona and Mahrez are playmakers, Higuain is a striker.

That table shows that Higuain was more important to Napoli than Messi to Barça this season, not that Higuain was better.

I respectfully disagree. To me at least, What Simeone has done with Atlético is nothing short of miraculous. He completely transformed Atlético, turned them into winners and made them compete with Real Madrid and Barça. As if that wasn't enough, he then made Atlético a force to be reckoned with in Europe as well, eliminating Barça twice, Bayern once and a myriad of other strong clubs in the process.

Leicester winning the PL is a massive achievement, I agree. But Going neck and neck with Real Madrid and Barça for not one, not two, but three years straight, winning the league, the CDR and reaching the cl final twice, is to me the biggest achievement in world football.

Atlético has become one of Europe's heavyweights and have shown that they're not a one-season wonder team. They have reached the top of the mountain and stayed there with a select few. Most clubs reach the semi-final once and then go back to being mediocre. Only four clubs could maintain that level for years, and Atlético is one of them.

Not RG's proudest moment.

Mahrez's a fraud if I ever saw one.

struggling to think of someone who dipped so much in quality

he was insane last season, absolutely unplayable, ruined defenses over and over

he was better than the likes of Hazard and Sanchez have ever been last season IMO

now he's Januzaj tier

Perhaps the title should be changed from Mahrez to Kante, then it should be right

Bench player at Chelsea next season imo

so what happened to this guy? one season wonder?

biggest one season wonder I can recall tbh, he was playing at an incredible level last season..lad could do it all, dribble like Messi, pass like Iniesta, finish from any angle, set pieces, etc

crazy decline

Future Arsenal legend imo.

I wonder what made me make this thread

He wasn't that good lol, in fact the decline was already noticeable February onwards.

Their defence and organisation carried them the rest of the way.
