Re: The 2015-2016 EPL Discussion Thread

I appreciate NBCSN trying to build up the importance of this game for their own purposes, but winning this match doesn't push Tottenham back in the title race. Wake me up when they're within 3. Not enough time left in the season to act like 5 points is negligible.

To look at it from another perspective, five points, four games left, and Leicester will most likely be without Vardy for the next two.

Also, Spurs will finish the season with a higher goal difference, so it's not too far of a stretch to say it's over.

But I hope it is, because Spurs. Come on, Stoke!

Spurs are superb in attack. Their off the ball movement is great.
+5 it is. 4 to go.
The pattern was obvious the last 2 weeks:
- Dope "scandal".
- FFP "scandal".
- "Leicester ref" removed from Stoke-Spurs match.
- Moss comes and ruins a great match. (Don't get me wrong, his decisions were trash for both teams but especially against Leicester)
- Vardy is called by FA.
- Leicester is called too.

Wow.
I hope this ends like this:

Title win by Chelsea own goal in 90min

Setting up elaborate conspiracy theories. Congratulations, your transformation to Chelsea is now complete. You may now be crowned 2015-16 Champions.

Meh, to be fair, the timing of some of that stuff is pretty odd, and Moss was definitely way worse for Leicester than West Ham.

Then again I'm a Chelsea fan.

Also, Kevin Friend isn't a Leicester fan. He either lives there or is from Leicester, can't remember which.

Either way, both Spurs and Stoke benefitted from that because Kevin Friend is almost certainly the worst ref in the league. Which is impressive because he has a lot of competition these days.

He's from there.

Re: The 2015-2016 EPL Discussion Thread

So what do you guys think -- is the title race going to come down to the last day?

I just have this sneaking suspicion United beats Leicester, especially if Vardy is suspended for that one. I hope I am wrong.

Does Chelsea have any fight in them to take points off Leicester or Spurs?

United players will be up for Leicester, but Chelsea players just don't give a damn at this point.

17-19 is going to be interesting if Newcastle can get something out of this match.

I was just pointing out the facts and events within the last 2 weeks timeline. I guess there are 2-3 here that every time I post something they just want to argue.
As it is it won't be a surprise for me if FA deducts points from Leicester.
Another fact is that the players have not caused any problems all season. The team has just 2 red cards (if I'm not mistaken) and a logical amount of yellows.
