Good to see the top teams setting a hard pace at the top. It reduces our margin for error and ensures the despicable fraud can't get too comfortable. Every result is under scrutiny now and we will always be one game away from a disaster.

Watched Leicester v Liverpool yesterday....Looking at Liverpool just adds to the fact that we were a disgrace at Anfield...they are decent going forward, but if anything they are as chaotic as us at the back..
Liverpool also continue their tradition of whinging on and off the pitch, even on the Leicester penalty they surrounded the referee when in reality the only decision was the colour of the card for Mingolet. Then the usual Liverpool representative in the studio had the nerve to whing about the referee and the time added on in the first half..
As much as Vardy is a chav or whatever he never gives anything up..Mahrez obviously wasn't in the mood yesterday otherwise they are an ordainry team.

It is conveniently ignored that we put up a similarly disgraceful performance at Anfield last season where Sanchez was again benched.

Well we will find out what sort of quality the team has without Sanchez (and Ozil) next season, we are already miles off the top clubs and losing our two best players is really going to help?.

Wenger has totally destroyed his legacy now, full stop, when he joined we had finished 5th and that is where we finished last season, with our two best players, this season we'll probably be 6th so if anything he is leaving us in a worse state than when he joined.

Forget all this bs about he built the Emirates etc. Spurs will be in a better stadium next season, most of our rivals have grounds that have now been upgraded to close to our capacity and possibly beyond in future.

Wenger has been dining off the invincibles for 13 years ffs, a glorified accountant who got lucky, but he has the full support of a fellow bean counter who owns the corporation, we are a joke club.

Steel City derby - excellent game.

And Sheffield Utd have a young lad called David Brooks who makes anything we've produced since Cesc - who we nicked off Barca, I get that ! - look utterly feeble.

How come teams like that and Southampton unearth players of that calibre whilst the worlds greatest living genius stumbles on to nowhere?

Watched the game..Brooks was outstanding...He's just the type of youngster who's career would get totally destroyed under Wenger.,,,, he would get played out of position for 2 years, struggle, get farmed out on loan for the next 3/4 years, then sold to a basement dwelling team.

City are purring and I've noticed that Kevin de Bruyne seems to be playing the DB10 role of assisting the assist. He may not be scoring as much but he's making the team tick.

Sad though it would be to see our record equalled at least it would be yet another thing Wenger could no longer point at to justify how great he thinks he is, no doubt if it did happen he would then reference the "financial doping" that played it's part.

cant see it ever being beaten to be honest, as good as we were back in the day we still needed huge slices of luck to remain unbeaten, horse faces pen and Bobby's "trip" against Portsmouth spring to mind, the odds on everything going right for a complete season must be astronomical.

Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero might just be the 3 best players in the league to be honest.
