But he's getting no service. Leicester are being dragged deeper, as they have nobody breaking up attacks. No coincidence that Kante was one of the few signings made by Chelski in the summer, and they're now leading the Prem by a margin, whilst Leicester struggle. He's a very good footballer but, more than that, he's brilliant in his role - and humble enough to not get ideas above his station (I remember Paul Ince being a great DM, but thinking he was a better footballer than just that & losing the discipline to play the deep role; Ferguson shipped him out and Ince was never the force he was when concentrating on just being a DM)


Spurs couldn't cope with Liverpool yesterday. It's ridiculous how good our record is against the other top 7 sides this season, whilst against the bottom 7 is woeful in comparison. The following is this season's games; home first, away second:


Chelsea - d / w


Tottenham - w / d


Arsenal -  - / w


Man City - w / -


Man Utd -  d / d


Everton -   - / w


 


So out of 9 games (4 home, 5 away) we've won 5, drawn 4. It's the best record in the division I believe.

Yep, woeful. They looked half asleep for much of the match.


I don't know what's worse, losing to the Dippers in the way we did or handing the title to the Chavs (today's aberration excepted).


The only thing I learned from yesterday's performance - apart from how sh.ite Spurs were - is that the Dippers don't like the physical stuff.

Did you also learn that both yourselves and The Victims are as far away from winning a title as Leicester are from winning another Prem title, or were you already well aware of the fact it will likely never happen in your lifetime?


On the plus side you must have had a chuckle at them banning The Sun after Hillsbrough dropped out of the news for ten mins?

Thanks. Just watching his performances Vardy doesn't look the same player but stats are stats.


As for results against the top sides, Chelsea's record is pretty good, I think:


Liverpool: lost/drawn


Spurs: won/lost


Arsenal:  won/lost


Everton:  won/ -


Man City: - / won


Man Utd: won/-


 


5 wins, 1 draw, 3 defeats.  16/27


2 of those were before the change of formation, so since then 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.  16/21

Ranieri sacked according to the Fail.


Slightly surprised they didn't leave it until after the return leg with Sevilla.

Disgraceful. I don't think there was any real danger of relegation and they are still in the champions league. They could have waited until the end of the season and then bring in someone else.

Absolute disgrace. Why not give him at least the return leg against Sevilla? Could have been a complete fairytale...

This is the sort of thing that makes me feel glad I dedicate most of my football time to watching my kids playing in their mini leagues rather than the nonsense that is the Premier League.

Totally agree, Saint.


Sure, Leicester have had a really poor season in the league, but I guess a lot of people out there will say that they very much over-achieved last season given their resources compared to the old powers in the PL. All the same, it's a shockingly poor decision in my opinion too.


Premier League= best for hiring and firing managers.
