True, it probably won't.

Then again, who knows.

Ranieri might as well lead Leicester to win the CL Laughing

Always feels good to beat City, and I'm very pleased for Rashford- a young Manc scoring against the blue lot must have been amazing for him....BUT...

I'm not gonna allow myself to get too hyped about top 4, we've been down this road of false dawns before. We get a big result, then we throw it away the next weak against a Norwich or WBA.

1 step forward, 2 steps backwards- The LVG way.

I personally think West Ham could/should get top 4.

Also Liverpool lost Thumbs up

Good day.

What a laughable sack this Chilean fraud really is Very Happy

Just 10 more games before the dementia riddled mong leaves for Rubin Kazan or Omniworld.

Pelle isn't tactical good, City down fall has either little or nothing to do with Pep announcement as it has to do with the absence of Kompany and KdB, which show cases Pelle tactic, which he doesn't have. Also with Kompany gone, City don't have an leadership in that squad.

If you're blowing £50m on frauds like Raheem Sterling, of course you're going to struggle.

I cant judge Sterling under this idiot. Any flair he has has been coached out of him.

He has this irritating knack of giving himself extra breath when it looks as though he's dead and buried. Someone online said, it's like he has a cheat code that enables him to reset and carry on. lol.

Shots per Game
P. Coutinho Liverpool 4.2
S. Agüero M. City 4.1
H. Kane Tottenham 4.1
A. Sánchez Arsenal 3.6
R. Lukaku Everton 3.4
Ighalo 3.2
Vardy 3.1
.....
15 Mahrez 2.6

:bow:

Mahrez, 16 goals with only 2.6 shots per game.

And what's with the deal with Shootinho. 4.2 spg. Does he believe himself to be Cristiano Ronaldo?

Alan Pardew’s bitterness
Cheered by Leicester’s rise are you? Think it’s a good story for the game in need of one? Impressed by their performances under pressure and resolve? Then you aren’t Alan Pardew.

‘Unlike Leicester we have been unfortunate to lose key players for long periods,’ Pardew wrote in his programme notes ahead of Crystal Palace’s home game against Claudio Ranieri’s team. ‘Today’s opponents have been awarded 10 penalties this season, which is double the total of any other team.’

This is why Pardew is so difficult to root for, and his slumps enjoyed by supporters across the country. He sounds like a man who would tell his children Father Christmas doesn’t exist just so he could take credit for buying the presents.

Crystal Palace DNA
“I genuinely came back to Crystal Palace because the DNA of how I wanted to run a club and what I wanted to do, would fit me much better” – Alan Pardew, December 2015.

“We had to sit ourselves down at half-time and take away the tyre that we were dragging behind us after five defeats. Make no mistake, it was Crystal Palace DNA which got us home by getting blocks in at the end. We thwarted a Swansea side who are in good form, so it makes it a little bit more sweet that we managed to pull it back” – Pardew, February 2016.

“This team’s DNA has been to fight, to battle, to scrap, and we didn’t do that in the first half there. That was the most disturbing thing. It was uncharacteristic, but that will worry our fans” – Pardew, February 2016.

“I thought we played a fairly measured game in the second half, so that was a good sign. We certainly had more of a Crystal Palace threat in the second half than we had in the first half. That’s what will get us out of it, our DNA” – Pardew, March 19.

There are therefore two explanations for Palace’s run of two points from their last 33 available:
1) Pardew’s DNA, an inability to address a slump, is more powerful than Palace’s own DNA.
2) Palace’s manager is talking a load of old guff.

Stop hating on SAP for telling it like it is.

Couldn't think of a more apt description of Pardew if i tried tbh.

It's up there with describing Kanye West as someone who would " sing a lullaby to his daughter and get mad at her for falling asleep during the performance ".

Sometimes Coutinho does shoot too much, but sometimes this season we've struggled to create chances and long-shots have been the best thing we have managed to come up with. In those games I'm fine with Coutinho taking a lot of shots. Rather that than watching Moreno put a dozen crosses into the box when we're something like the lowest-scoring team in the league from headers.
