They play for 20 minutes a game.
Second best team today. West ham were better than them. Sunderland as well. The list is half the league long.
They have half arsed a lot of performances and the only reason they are 9 points clear of us is the referee in games like today. Think back to us drawing 0-0 with Norwich earlier this season. We did not have a ref in our corner helping us out. Against west ham they were second best for everything from 20 minutes onwards but the ref handed them 3 points. Against us we battered them second half and would have won if any of the 3 clear as day penalties were given. Would they have pushed for a third if suarez had been booked and sent off for his blatant dive with sturridge already off injured?
Hungry my arse. They haven't had to fight for a single point.
I agree with both of you.
They are hungry and fighting for everything, but that on its own is not enough for a squad like that.
They have been handed the most decisions I've seen since the rags that season we won the league.
It's an extremely hard thing to beat. Forget goal difference... the extra point(s) comes from the leaning of the brand that is the premier league.
And before all the high and mighties get at me, it's not corruption...
It's promotion.
