With 9 games left, Leicester find themselves in a position of strength, leading the Premier League by five points having been the beneficiaries of the two match week this past seven days.
Their consistency in selection, attitude and application is a triumph thus far and as consistent as Arsenal’s perennial collapse as the Ides of March approach.
Looking at the games left, Spurs have a tough run-in and only have four home games left while Leicester have five and next play a team in the current top six as far away as April 16th. Arsenal still have to go to West Ham, City and Everton while City themselves have a derby and Chelsea to contend with……………interesting times.

Last week’s real world events were largely mirrored in the XXI edition of the DWC where James’ 14 points were not enough to close the gap at the top as I top scored with 23 to win this week’s Riyad ‘and another one’ Mahrez award for top score.
McNick consolidates third place with a healthy 20 points as rival for the £40 prize wither withered away; Stathi scoring 7 and Harry only 5.
Bottom score this week and recipient of the Arsene ‘will I ever learn?’ Wenger award goes to Nick PC with a fat ZERO.

No transfers to report and given the games United have coming up, it may have to fall on someone else to update next week. A two legged tie against the vermin sandwiches the FA Cup tie v West Ham and then the derby. Self-harm may be an option.
Your worryingly,
Chairman P
