Cough, cough, "Liverpool"?
As a neutral, why would anyone not want to see Leicester win the title?
Leicester - some dodgy financial episodes in their recent past - doing brilliantly well, but the DID cheat to get there. However, I'm pleased for Leo / the Vardy story is incredible / Ranieri is superb, so on balance, I'm still rooting for them (even though its a little tainted).
Spurs next - like Pochetino, love how they play, love the inclusion of 5/6 young England players.
Then Arsenal - still breath-taking to watch when they get it right, and like how Wenger stubbornly clings to his principles. If they hadn't had such ridiculous bad luck with injuries they could be ten points clear now.
City, I actually don't mind either, despite the way they are bankrolled. Love watching Aguero / Silva / Nasri when they click, and Pellegrini seems a very honourable man.
The fact that Chelsea and United are not in with a shout is lovely.
Is it too much to ask that we put a clause in Leo's transfer about them winning the league or making the champions league?
PB: For a bit of a laugh we'll put a clause in here that says if Leo wins the league with you, we get £10m, and if you make the champions league we'll say £5m?
Leicester and then Spurs for me.
I want man City to win it. Purely because I like watching good individual genius moments, from out of the ordinary footballers and they for me seem to produce more of this than the other teams do.
suspect the outcome is obvious
They're reliant on it. It frustrates me that they won the league ahead of the far better team, Liverpool, a couple of years ago. City are so ridiculously desperate for moments of magic from Aguero or Yaya Toure, the team itself is significantly weaker than the sum of all parts and they need their best players to drag themselves through games. That doesn't make them a good team for me.
No Newcastle United option ?
