Ok, so yesterday was Arsenal’s day. Unfortunately. They won, no-one else (of any importance) did. But as Arsenal lost last week, its almost acceptable. Because there has not yet emerged any really consistent leader of the league. Other than Leicester. And with all due respect to that wonderful team; they won’t win the league. Yes, it could happen. Anything can happen. Santa could be real. Jeremy Corbyn could be real. ISIS could just be a gay rights movement. Anything.

Manchester United are shit. There’s no two ways about it. They’ve played 15 games and had 19 0-0 draws. Which is as entertaining as it is mathematically possible. Everyone hates them, except LVG, who can’t understand what all the fuss from fans and pundits is all about. Which says a lot more about the man’s concept of ‘good form’ might be than about everyone else’s expectations.

Manchester City alternate between unplayable brilliance and total disaster. Yesterday’s game at Stoke was, for them, definitely the latter. Beaten 2-0, according to reports it could and should have been 5-0.

Spurs, alas and alack, failed to win at West Brom. We should’a could’a would’a but didn’t happen. Like it didn’t against Chelsea last week and especially against the Arse a few weeks ago when we really should have won. Its all about closing games out and we don’t do that yet. Maybe…

Liverpool are playing right now, so all that’s left should be Chelsea. Even though we’re not at this moment discussing the relegation fight. Which is, whether they accept it or not, where the Blues are at this moment. Its all very well laughing off such suggestions (Jose!) but oddly we don’t talk to Aston Villa about their chances of Champions League qualification, do we? Nor Bournemouth. Even though the South Coasters beat Chelsea yesterday and are only 2 points behind them.

But obviously there are differences. Chelsea are much more arrogant, obviously. And feel its their ‘right’ to finish in the top 4, even though they’re just a couple places off the bottom 4. Also Bournemouth are a nice team who play entertaining football under a great manager. And Chelsea… yeah, whatever.

Right, that’s it, the football won’t watch itself, will it?
