Arsene Wenger: Too much time on hands could be disadvantage for Leicester

Ranieri predicted that Chinese football would attempt to overtake the Premier League “in the next three to five years”, following a series of high-profile and expensive signings.

Is it just me or does this sound like the player is trying to convince himself and actually tells us that the pressure is starting to be felt in the Leicester dressing room?

There is a sense of calm at Leicester which belies suggestions that Ranieri’s team will begin to feel the heat.

Leicester then went out, hit City on the break – as everyone knew they would – and won 3-1.

Arsene Wenger has risked the wrath of Arsenal fans by defending the club’s ticket prices in the wake of Liverpool’s decision to freeze their price plans.

Arsenal pride themselves in being regulars in Europe’s elite competition but the progression from other teams presents a serious threat. We are close to continuing to dream with our fans.

Yet another milestone in the unbelievable story of Leicester City – for the first time all season they are favourites to win the Premiership at the TAB.

“But it is a insane league because the big-spending teams are not in a normal position. History was made that day but it’s not in our mind”.

That was a 5-2 hammering at the King Power Stadium in September – a result many expected would precipitate a return to the lower regions of the table. Wenger’s decision to play reactively was a “minor miracle”, says Sam Tighe of Bleacher Report, but it paid dividends and established Coquelin as the Gunners’ lynchpin.

The 21-year-old joined from FC Copenhagen in January but has yet to make his bow for the Premier League leaders, although boss Claudio Ranieri expects to have him up to speed to face Norwich next week.

A disgusting goal celebration in Manchester, a frightful knee injury in London, and terrible weather in Stoke – all-in-all another great weekend of Premier League action. He forgot but I remember. Why are so many journalists here? “There’s no pressure. Let’s enjoy”.
