End of month.
Premier League Week 29 5/6 March
- Thread starter Truedevil
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Is Mahrez still playing?
No.
Should you not be happy with the injuries we have ? Of course there is potential for more injuries though...
He just went off.
Subbed off.
Leicester gone off the boil.
Ranieri is a nervous wreck bless him.
Same here. I hate international football. And friendlies are like zombie apocalyps.
Am I the only one who thinks Danny Drinkwater could cut it here at United. Everyone is talking about Kanté but I think Danny has been just as good.
I like him. Sounds like a funny charming guy.
Two week break because of friendlies. If it was qualifiers then fair enough but fecking friendlies are just annoying.
..and you normally get 1-2 players back injured. Pointless.
Leicester player nearly having a Gerrard moment 
From the BBC site.
"Ahmed Nurein: Claudio Ranieri is destined to get a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge in the final game of the season. It will be epic."
Please please please please!

Please please please please!We wouldn't buy someone back who we thought was not good enough. He has been good though. All this talk about Wilshere, yet it should be Drinkwater being picked for the England squad.
Full time. 9 games to go.
There it is. Leicester are in a very favourable position now.
Looked like a hamstring tweak but it could've been cramp.
Another matchday where Leicester extend their lead at the top...
It is going to happen... What a season .

The champagne is on ice.
I'm reckoning Arse & City can't get to more than 73-74pts, Leics already got 60pts now. Two horse race, Brian.
Hmm truth be told Huth looks Vida like in this team and we know he was decent at best playing for.Chavs and Stoke. Drinkwater looks good becasue he functions well in this team.
Nah, we'll believe it in the 89th minute at Stamford Bridge
It's unbelievable - but it actually looks like it will happen.
Spurs is bound to drop quite a few Points in april and first week of may. Chelsea, Stoke and Liverpool away and us at home.
Arsenal's fixture list is unimportant - if they get within touching distance of Leicester - they will crack under pressure.
City have us and Arsenal at home - Chelsea away.
Realistically - if Leicester pick up 13-14 Points from their last 9 games - they will probably win. 5 wins and they will probably take the league

Leicester's next 4:
Home vs Newcastle.
Away vs Palace.
Home vs Southampton.
Away vs Sunderland.
4 very winnable games and if they can come away with 10 points from that I think they'll have done it.

They're going to win it in style!
Something like that. Drinkwater turned 26 today - he has since he left United never looked anywhere near good enough to cut if at United. Leicester has created a perfect team - and he has found a perfect role. He wouldn't look that impressive playing for another team
If they don't win the title now they will be shattered. This is a unique position to be in for many of their players, they won't have this chance in the rest of their careers. Hopefully it motivates them rather than paralyzes them.
Big difference when Kante is on the pitch.
Perfect description of Leicester this season, and why realistically its a once in a lifetime experience for them.
Honestly, I want them to win it so much. Worryingly so in fact. It would be such a special moment for football.
We beat WBA and we're two points off Arsenal.
In two weeks they play away at Everton and we're home to Palace. We can overtake them.

I think 5 wins out of 9 will seal it for Leicester. Spurs have some very tough games left (United H, Liverpool A, Stoke A, Chelsea A). Arsenal's fixtures are mostly pretty easy with Everton A and West Ham A being the more difficult ones (edit: just realised they still have City away too), but it's Arsenal and they could easily bottle it, especially when facing Sunderland and Norwich late on when they could be fighting to stay out of relegation.
75 points to win the title, surely the lowest amount yet? I remember we won it with 79.

In 13/14 Le Arse needed 79 to get 4th. Beat that Leiscter.
Spurs have averaged 1.9 points per game this season in what has been a very good season for them, meaning they will finish on 72 points if they keep up their average. So on that basis, Leicester would only need 13 points to finish ahead of them. 4 wins and a draw (mid table form) could well do it.
Coquelin is an idiot.
We have plenty more dropping points weekends in us.
