3rd in the EPL...although they are back up on top.

They are through to KOR of CL, and not that it really matters because they re-draw anyway, so you can get a tougher draw even if you finish #1 in your pod.

My frustration is just top to bottom the last 10 weeks of soccer from them.

- Lost at home opening round of UCL to Juve (UCL)
- Lost at home to West Ham (PL)
- Thrashed Sunderland's cup squad (CC)
- Ass kicked by Tottenham (PL)
- Won 2-1 at M'Gladbach (UCL)
- Thrashed an awful Newcastle team (PL)
- Thrashed a worse Bournemouth team (PL)
- Beat Sevilla 2-1 (UCL)
- Parked the bus from the start and managed a draw vs MUFC (PL)
- Thrashed CPalace cup squad (CC)
- Barely escaped 2-1 vs Norwich (PL)
- Beat Sevilla on the road (UCL)
- Draw vs. Awful AVFC team (PL)
- Humilated by Liverpool (PL)
- Lost 1-0 at Juve (UCL)
- Good win over Southampton (PL)
- Struggled to put Hull away until like the 80th minute (CC)

I can forgive the UCL crap...it's just preliminary...but the problem is, because of injuries they are having to play first teams in cup games...a lot. And they are not looking that great in these games. I'd rather lose, and play all young kids, and let the vets rest up and be better prepped for PL fixtures.

Overall, this team struggles with ball handling, they struggle with passing and they struggle with finishing...consistently. Against good teams, against bad teams. And good teams make them pay. This team has a ton of salary, handpicked guys by Pellegrini...and a lot of them are not delivering. Pellegrini is a $hit manager....I have no faith even if they add a load more talent in the transfer window, they will be able to stop these frustrating results. Their defense is atrocious (really they are the team USA of the PL), and there doesn't seem to be any urgency to fix it.

Sound like any other football team you know?  Have fun watching that awful defense for years. 

So AgÞero is the Abbrederis of the EPL.  Perhaps you'd like an injured diver like Robben instead?

You'd think Everton v. Leicester would be a more interesting game, but NBC decides to shove the celebrity teams down our throats again.

It's almost as bad as Fox's coverage of the CL, which between FS1/FS2 and the local Fox Sports channel is the four EPL teams plus Madrid and Barça every single matchday.  (It's one of the reasons I want Italy to overtake England in the league coefficient.)

And the most amazing thing...after all the bull$hit MCFC has pulled this year under Pelleweenie...they are still 3rd on the table and a 1 seed in UCL, with a chance to win CC.

I just wish they'd flush the toilet on Count Chocula.

Also...Arsenal...WTF...they may win it all...though I still feel Leicester is much better than people giving them credit for.

Sounding like MCL. People claimed he tried to flop and injured himself. He claims he was jostling for position, and leaned back expecting the defender to be there, and wasn't so went backwards and his spike got caught.

Whatever...best case he's probably out 4-5 weeks...worst case it's the season. Either way, during this critical PL run, this probably since MCFC.

MoLeicester is gonna pull this one out.
