Yeah, Leicester have a history of competing for the title. If you look at Leicester's fixtures they haven't played many of the big boys yet, 3 of their wins have been against teams in the bottom 5 in the table. They played us and came unstuck. They're on a very good run but they won't last the distance. Whether we will remains to be seen but we've clearly got a higher class of players and a better squad than they do.Originally Posted by Niall_Quinn
No, but it shows it's not just been a few good wins, it's been a long, consistent run of title-winning form. Today was neither a good result not a disaster.
That's true if you ignore all the times when we did get a win.What Wenger really rejects is the notion that when the chips are all down and we really must get a win, his teams come up short time and time again.
The fact you actually go into detail on that is so incredibly illustrative. You remind me of about 30 million other people in this country.

So much to say but shocking misses by Giroud, my Lord!
In the end the chances you take and don't take really count....whether you play well or not. We could have played superbly today and failed to win from missing chances.
How many of the fuckers from the squad are playing during the international break? Can we lock these fuckers up and not let them leave?
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
One positive to come from today is that Ozil is apparently the first player in PL history to assist in 6 consecutive games.
Fair play to him, I wasn't sure about him after his first year but he's really settled down and adjusted to this league now. Oozing with a lot more confidence and he's now made himself invaluable.
Ozil is arguably the best out and out playmaker, period. Too bad he's deprived of a more able front man to play with.
Regards the game yesterday and after sleeping over it, I'm still with Thierry on this one. That wasn't good enough, we had to win that by hook or by crook to take advantage of City's slip up. I really can't see it and other way, no disrespect to other views on here, it was a poor performance but an even worse result we really had to win it.
'WHEN HE HAS A PLAN, WE BACK HIM, WHEN HE DOESN'T......WE KEEP QUIET'
We were poor but still had the best chances. Giroud missed two easy headers.
Given our injuries it's not a bad result.
Looking back at the highlights in a calm state of mind and I think it's a game we really should have snatched. The chances he missed were bread and butter for Giroud, there aren't many better headers of the ball in the league than him. Disappointing. Let's just hope he returns to form quickly and doesn't spend the next few games cutting himself.
It was a bit like the Liverpool earlier in the season when we should have been buried but didn't fully make the most of the lifeline we were given. We've got a few straight forward looking fixtures coming up so we should be looking at getting another run going if we're serious about challenging.
