Well yeah, those 5.

But then Leicester won the title by TEN POINTS last season. 14th season before, 16th now

Leicester probably the second worst team we’ve played this season (Swansea away the worst).
Good second half from Man Utd, and we have another defensive injury so I can start complaining about injuries in every thread again. Yippie!

the stats in this article are mind boggling - i reckon he’ll go to madrid in a year or two

i also remember reading a stat in the middle of last season that leicester were 70% more likely to score if kante touched the ball during a counter attack

Think it’d be good and useful if we keep referring to Chelsea and Kante as if they’re not really affiliated. Well done Kante on winning the Premiership.

There was a stat that he’s now got the most tackles in the premier league since the start of the 2014/15 season, despite playing a year less than everyone else in the list

I got to speak to Paul Scholes shortly before he passed away and asked him who was the best midfielder he had ever seen. Without hesitation he replied “N’Golo Kante”

“I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.” - Ferguson on watching Kante at Boulogne

Sickening to think that without their paid off officials, United would be seventh instead of sixth.

Forest had 70% possession! Mostly sterile but were a bit better creating chances as the game went on. First 35 mins villa looked like they’d score every time they broke. They faded badly second half but still had at least two clear chances that I can recall.

Forest probably deserved it, just about. The sending off was crucial, Grellish is such a colossal weapon :frowning:

He’s a part timer!

thats a bit shocking considering how much we’ve tried to reinforce the main spine! cant complain about losing really if thats the case, need to see the highlights

grealish? you leave mr villa alone!!
