Other Games 2014-15

Everton leading already against Palace.

I hope they get top 4 tbh, ahead of Man. United and Liverpool.

Would show you can still do it without spending an absolute fortune.

They've spent an absolute fortune though haven't they??

Less than what we spent during the MON era.

Lukaku took up a huge amount of their spending, their rest of their expensive players are in the 7-10m range.

It is a battle of the deluded v the realistic on their website. "Leicester had nothing to do with that result, Clattenburg gave it them on a plate". The others are pointing out that the defending and team performance was less than good.

I'm just delighted that the wanker at Sky Sports who decided to refer to them as "The Galaticos" pre-match must be feeling very silly.

Leicester played really well what a comeback.

They did play well, it was a really good comeback.

I knew Man United were winning 3-1 and thought they would win so when I heard they had lost 5-3 whilst I was walking round Manchester I thought that was a really comeback by Leicester City and they must have played well.

It was a really good thing that happened.

Sometimes, I just despair that these people exist.

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli was the victim of racial abuse on Twitter on Sunday following his reaction to Manchester United's shock defeat to Leicester.

Balotelli, part of the Reds side which lost 3-1 at West Ham on Saturday, tweeted: 'Man Utd...LOL' in response to United's 5-3 loss at the King Power Stadium.

His tweet was met by a string of racist messages, including one from an account called @CraigSainsbury which read: 'F*** you Mario you f****** n*****. Got eat some bananas and get ebola you dirty monkey.'

The account from which the tweet was sent subsequently appeared to have been closed.
Balotelli has been singled out for racist abuse in the past.

He was heckled by Italy supporters during a pre-World Cup training camp in May and was on the receiving end of numerous instances of racist abuse during his time at Inter Milan and, more recently, AC Milan.

Balotelli spoke about the abuse directed at him in an interview with GQ magazine in July.

'They aren't used to seeing people who are different, not white, who act not as rebels but normally,' he said.

'I think what the ignorant people don't like is that people who are different are allowed to act that way.

'These stupid people, they get angry with me, they say horrible things, but I haven't done anything different from other people.

'I have made mistakes, like everyone does, and I have always paid for my mistakes. I think that if I was white maybe some people would still find me irritating or annoying but it wouldn't be the same. Absolutely not.

'Jealousy is a horrible thing, but when this jealousy is towards people who are different from the majority, and who maybe also have more than you, then it becomes anger, it becomes rage, and that's the overt racism.'

I question why Balotelli felt the need to tweet in the first place. But nice to see that Craig responded in such a balanced and humorous manner. Did it ever occur to him that he could have just referred to Liverpool's result yesterday?

Didn't Merson say they were on a roll now?

On the Beeb pre-match someone said that after all the new players in last season Spurs were now reaping the rewards.

[Damo70]

When it comes to us winning the title do we want a draw or a City win?

I'm joking. We have about as much chance of winning the title as Liverpool or Manchester United.

Palace 2-1 up...Campbell

[PeterWithesShin]

Free-flowing Chavski have managed 38% possession and one off target shot according to the Beeb. Watch the bastards win now.

Palace winning.

[PeterWithesShin]

Palace winning with 23% possession and 2 shots on target. They are all copying our plan!

[richard moore]

Good day for all our relegation rivals!

[PeterWithesShin]

Good day for all our relegation rivals!

Why aye man, it's reet shite. Pardew ooot!

[Colhint]

Good day for all our relegation rivals!

[Damo70]

It gets better. One United fan saying they fell apart after the dodgy penalty to pull it back to 2-3. So as far as he is concerned nothing after that counts!
