Well done Arsenal, managing to make Spurs no longer the biggest chokers in North London

Well done Man City. Although it took them a while to really hit top form this season, they are clearly the best team in the PL by a long long way.

But thank Christ that Arsenal showed brilliant form for the 1st 75% of the season, otherwise it could have been the least interesting title race ever.

I don't think anyone truly "chokes" against City. Arsenal just ran out of steam because, like everyone else, they don't have the squad depth that City have.

They also don't have a Terminator up front like City have.

Fair points, agreed.

Dropped points against 4 of the bottom 6, and tried incredibly hard to make it 5 of the bottom 7 (Bournemouth beaten with a goal two hours :wink: into injury time)
That’s difficult to argue it’s squad depth
Not performing against the better sides is ‘justifiable’ on squad depth

Out of the 3 I want to see Everton survive, they're just a bit more likeable than Leicester and infinitely more likeable than Leeds

I wonder if west ham will go easy against Leicester on the last day as they have their European final the next week.

If you were going to choose any fixture for a game on the final day to try and get you out of trouble I reckon west ham at home would be right up there.

Esp. as West Ham are so erratic anyway irrespective of whether or not they've got a cup game coming up.

I genuinely wonder what/who will stop City winning it again next year.

Arsenal need to add a couple of players and it's still up in the air as to whether they can repeat what they did this season. Newcastle and Man United seem like they might still be a couple of good windows away from being somewhere near and Liverpool are in transition as well at the moment with no guarantee they will come close next year either if they are to uproot large parts of their squad.

Who are City going to lose? Possibly Gundogan if he decides his future is elsewhere and maybe someone like Bernardo Silva as he's been rumoured to be leaving in the past. Other than that, it looks as if the core of the squad will remain together for another season.

You can picture the quotes coming from opposing managers already!! Perfect game for Leicester on so many fronts.

That game still hurts to this day. Portsmouth did not even attempt to play. Played at around 60% and that was generous. When they did attack they looked quite threatening.
