Premier League 2015-2016

You said something like: "It is possible but it is impossible" :D. Really can't see them finishing 4th. Sorry Bilić.. :(

Haha,me neither, but theoretically it is possible. Anyway, hard work awaits them.

Anyway, I will cheer for West Ham, I would love to see some new faces like Foxes, Spurs and them in Champions League. Yes, hard work is in front of them. But considering how great of a start they had, then losing Carroll in key moment of the season and still being on a top says it all. Hopefully they will get to keep Alex Song for next season if they qualify.

West Ham had been great against the "top sides" this season so I don't think the schedule would scare them, they have all the chances if they perform like so far  in the season.

I didn't compare these two achievements the way you did, but the way of "surprisness level". It was as unlikely Greece to win Euro 2004as Leicester to win Prem, despite competition system or duration.

ok dude, but even a surprise factor is nowhere near, Greece were around 150-1 to win the Euro 2004 and I remember I've had  placed a bet for them to  reach at least quarters and I expected they could reach even semis, in the end it was a surprise to win the final but that is nowhere near to that 5000-1 what were the Leicester odds before the season. This would be like the biggest surprise in football ever or I should say in sport !?

I think it's comparable with Verona winning the Serie A in 1984–85, that was a total surprise but I don't know what the odds were back then.

Good article, you are right. I thought that odds were higher on Greece to win Euro 2004. I wasn't interested in betting back then because of obvious reason. I was 9 years old LOL

But odds Leicester to win EPL were the same as Kim K becoming 2020 US president LOL LOL What a comparison!

Yeah :) these are all legal bets in England at 5000-1

    • Elvis is found alive.

    • Yeti or Loch Ness Monster is proven to exist.

    • Christmas is the warmest day of the year in England.

    • Kanye West and Kim Kardashian name their next child Sinner.

    • Kim Kardashian becomes the U.S. president in 2020.

    • Barack Obama plays cricket for England after he leaves Oval Office.

Only 5000/1 for Barack to play for England. Seriously !!  LOL

Haha, that with Barack is my favorite, the whole list is hilarious :D

Only 5000/1 for Barack to play for England. Seriously !!  LOL

He's in pretty good shape, I guess England could use him :)

U joker JK  ;)

Got free bet today, Arsenal @ 13/8. Don't wanna tempt fate but half time 0-2

Solid win for Arsenal after a fantastic first-half performance at Goodison Park. Welbeck scored a beautiful first goal while 19-year-old Alex Iwobi celebrated his first ever Premier League start with a goal.

Everton 0 - 2 Arsenal

Iwobi has got potential to become very good player. Played ok against Watford, almost leveled things up. Today he became EPL scorer. He could be Arsenal's next big thing.

Leicester squeezed another win and got another clean sheet, Mahrez gave them all three points at Crystal Palace. Chelsea rescued a point against West Ham thanks to a late penalty kick while Norwich grabbed a very important win at West Brom. Aston Villa are pretty much done, only a miracle could save them now.

Chelsea 2 - 2 West Ham

Crystal Palace 0 - 1 Leicester

Watford 1 - 2 Stoke City

West Brom 0 - 1 Norwich

Swansea 1 - 0 Aston Villa

Manchester derby coming up today, here are Sunday's Premier League matches and the odds at NetBet:

Southampton vs  Liverpool

2.80 - 3.20 - 2.65

Newcastle vs  Sunderland

2.20 - 3.15 - 3.70

Tottenham vs  Bournemouth

1.50 - 4.30 - 7.00

Man City vs  Man Utd

1.86 - 3.60 - 4.45

Good luck!

This may be the last chance for Man Utd, if they win today there is a chance for the Champions League. But it will be very difficult in the Manchester derby.

Red devils are in very poor form.

Another season without CL, or maybe even without Europe, it will be a heavy blow for the club.

I think the biggest stars of football will no longer to play for Man Utd who aren't competing in CL.

I can't see United winning today, but have to disagree about your sentence about big star not wanting to play for United. It isn't true because they are financially strong and still one of top 5 biggest teams in the world. If Mourinho replaces Van Gaal, his name would attract almost every player to United.

I don't expect a win United today too. I agree with jakablazic, United, led by Mourinho will be a new team. Premier League next season will be really interesting. Pep and Mourinho again in the derby. Uhh I can't wait.  :)

Liverpool threw away a two-goal lead at Southampton and also their chances of reaching the top four. Manchester City are out of the title race after losing the derby while Tottenham keep the pace in that race with a comfortable win over Bournemouth. Newcastle and Sunderland remain in the relegation zone.

Newcastle Utd 1 - 1 Sunderland

Southampton 3 - 2 Liverpool

Manchester City 0 - 1 Manchester United

Tottenham 3 - 0 Bournemouth

Premier League table before the international break, most teams have played 31 games:

1.    Leicester 66

2. Tottenham 61

3. Arsenal 55 (1 game in hand)

4. Manchester City 51 (1 game in hand)

5. West Ham 50 (1 game in hand)

6. Manchester United 50 (1 game in hand)

7. Southampton 47

8. Stoke City 46

9. Liverpool 44 (2 games in hand)

10. Chelsea 41 (1 game in hand)

11. West Brom 39 (1 game in hand)

12. Everton 38 (2 games in hand)

13. Bournemouth 38

14. Watford 37 (1 game in hand)

15. Swansea 36

16. Crystal Palace 33 (1 game in hand)

17. Norwich 28

18. Sunderland 26 (1 game in hand)

19. Newcastle Utd 25 (1 game in hand)

20. Aston Villa 16

Leicester still manage to win 1-0, I think the tension is now on and they are not quite as convincing but the important part is done and the 3 point in the bag.

Man United were more than decent today against City playing tight in all areas of the field and I wonder why they didn't play that style all season long, I think it was best United game this season and if the referee wasn't so afraid to rule the penalty kick at the end of first half it would be a game over for City a lot  earlier.

I think this lose to Southampton decreases Liverpool's chances to catch CL spot to minimum. You simply must win a game when you are two goals up,

I'm very surprised that United managed to win today. Rashford scored wonderful goal, once more you can see why Kompany's injury is crucial for City team. He wouldn't get past Kompany like he did today past Demichelis.

I can't see United winning today, but have to disagree about your sentence about big star not wanting to play for United. It isn't true because they are financially strong and still one of top 5 biggest teams in the world. If Mourinho replaces Van Gaal, his name would attract almost every player to United.

The first lineup for Man Utd at previous game:

defense: De Gea, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Rojo

midfielders: Mata, Lingard, Schneiderlin, Martial, Carrick

attack: Rashford

now tell me which of these players is "top player" ? My opinion is that Manchester has lost a lot, after Alex Ferguson left the club. Ok is what you say if there Mourinho come then will come and players, but we know that the best players in the world still motivated to play the Champions League. If they don't get into the Champions League or the Europa League, it will be another sad season for the red part of Manchester...

De gea is a top goalkeeper, Rooney also but he is injured, Mata was on margin of being top player.  It's true what you've been saying, but sad season for Red devils fans is every season they don't win trophies. They will be back, I'm sure ;) One of the biggest brands in world of football.

De Gea definitely a top 3 GK in the world if not the best one

Marcus Rashford ;) It's not a  joke :)

They all have to be concidered for a top players when they are all brought in United and most of them  at pretty expensive price too. I don't think sir Alex had a better team in most of his seasons, just the players played beyond their best and this is the difference between a great manager and Van Gaal. Do I have to mention the 300 mill spent for transfers  after Sir Alex retirement? So the squad should be on paper a better one and I think it is better than this in the last season of Sir Alex Ferguson.

SAF had almost worse team than this one. Fletcher played solid role in that team and that guy is bad player, not even close being world class. Anderson is something similar to Schneiderlin. They had CR7, he is the only top top player. Berbatov wasn't better than Depay, two good centrebacks in Vidić and Ferdinand but their replacement was Johnny Evans, one solid mid-table centreback. Gary Neville was also solid player but never anywhere near top class. This Manchester has got potential but Van Gaal isn't the right guy to coach them.

Yeah agree with your evaluation for most of the players back then, not a top class team by any means if you look the individuals, but they've  won the title in S AF last year  with a big margin in points  ahead of City "talents" Many people underestimate the fact that David Gill who was a chief executive for many years back then left the club by the same time Sir Alex did and that was a double hit for United from which I think the club still can't repair.

Z.Ibrahimovic said today that he will defintely not sign a new contract with PSG. He also said that he is close to Premier League, as there are few teams that want his signature.

My guess is that he is closest to M.United because of Mourinho.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is 34 years old, he is a fantastic player, no doubt about it, but...

I don't know how many will be able to meet the demands of the Premier League. We all know that this league is much stronger than the French.. I heard about possibility of going to Arsenal.

Summer transfer window will be very interesting, I can't wait.  :)

Arsenal is offering him 300k £ per week, so Arsenal is an option for sure :D

Arsenal is offering him 300k £ per week, so Arsenal is a choice for sure :D

If it comes to money I would have gone to the China :D

With Arsenal and Wenger will certainly not win trophies.. :D In China he may win something... :D

I have no inside informations about Arsenal, but be certain that Zlatan won't join them, unless they change manager this summer, than it could happen. Wenger would never pay someone 300k a week and he won't be looking for a guy who can disturb harmony and ego in his squad.

Maybe that's the reason they have to change the manager. All other teams are spending huge amounts of money, and probably they should too. I dont like that, but thats the way that football works now. You spend - you get ( expect Leicester ofc,but this is a crazy season ) :D

Wenger for years now provides an opportunity for younger players. We see that it does not give a result. Arsenal fans are desperate, and as I see it is finally time to go. He losing the battle for the title, every year it turns out in the first round of the knockout stages of the Champions League.

I don't think he has much to offer new to Arsenal and their fans. Won some FA cups, but very far from respected trophies like Premiership or Champions League. Time run over him.

The problem is who is going to replace him?

I'm not a fan of Wenger but he's the most successful Arsenal manager ever and we all know that fine style that his team playing more so without spending much, whoever replace him will spend big - it's pretty sure and like we all see what happens in United, the results are not guaranteed even if you had spent 300 mill pounds in 2 years.

So don't get me wrong, sometimes the change is a good thing but only if you have better alternatives and I'm not sure Arsenal has one better than Wenger right now.

Crucial day on Saturday for both Arsenal and Tottenham, they have to win to keep their title hopes alive. Here are the matches and the odds at NetBet:

Aston Villa vs  Chelsea

6.25 - 4.00 - 1.58

Sunderland vs  West Brom

2.10 - 3.30 - 3.90

Stoke vs  Swansea

2.15 - 3.30 - 3.65

West Ham vs  Crystal Palace

1.90 - 3.45 - 4.20

Arsenal vs  Watford

1.35 - 5.15 - 9.25

Bournemouth vs  Man City

3.65 - 3.55 - 2.05

Norwich vs  Newcastle

2.15 - 3.30 - 3.60

Liverpool vs  Tottenham

2.40 - 3.30 - 3.00

Good luck!

Premiership is finally back. Last tries for Tottenham and Arsenal especially. Looking forward to watch some real football after international call-ups pause

I think Liverpool will cause some troubles to the Spurs this weekend and I still think Leicester will be the new champions, but of course it would be dramatic till the very end probably.

Tomorrow will be a great day for Leicester, all eyes will be focused on this game, I think it will be a very tough game with few goals ...

Arsenal has finally shown what they are capable off. They controlled game well and Watford had no chance. Alexis, Iwobi, Bellerin and Walcott scored. Didn't expect them to thin in such comfortable way.

Arsenal closed the gap on Tottenham, now the pressure is on Leicester for Sunday. Man City hammered Bournemouth but it's too late for the title, West Ham stumbled at home against Palace while Newcastle missed a good chance to improve their survival odds.

Aston Villa 0 - 4 Chelsea

Arsenal 4 - 0 Watford

Bournemouth 0 - 4 Manchester City

Norwich 3 - 2 Newcastle Utd

Stoke City 2 - 2 Swansea

Sunderland 0 - 0 West Brom

West Ham 2 - 2 Crystal Palace

Liverpool 1 - 1 Tottenham

What a goal by Payet against Crystal Palace  <3 That guy is having fantastic few months. Watched a game between L'pool and Spurs. Guests could take three points, were slightly better, but this is not bad result at all. Scorers Coutinho and Kane.

Two matches today, both quite important for the configuration of the upper side of the Premier League table. Here are the odds at NetBet:

Leicester vs  Southampton

2.25 - 3.15 - 3.55

Man Utd vs  Everton

2.00 - 3.45 - 4.05

Good luck!

The Sunday Times published an interview with a doctor who said he was doped 150 players of the Premier League. Names not released but said that it was Chelsea, Arsenal, Leicester, Birmingham City players. During tomorrow are expected reaction of clubs. Whether this scandal could throw a stain on a potential title of Leicester?

I think it's a serious charge, it should be investigated thoroughly, and if proven can put several professionals in an awkward situation

Another "Italian-style" victory for the Foxes, a header from Wes Morgan was enough to secure the three points. Now they have 7 points on Tottenham with 6 games remaining, one hand is definitely on the title now. 

Leicester 1 - 0 Southampton

Leicester is another inch closer to Premiership title! Well done guys, hard fought but deserved victory.

Much needed win for Man United, keeps them in the race for a Champions League spot.

Manchester United 1 - 0 Everton
