PFA Team of the Season.

They picked the right team.

Schmeichel unlucky to not get that goalkeeper spot though, IMO.

Good to see a team come from nowhere to win the EPL. Leicester have literally fallen from the sky to win the EPL.

They may not win it, they have a hard final run of games with Tottenham having a much easier run with only 5 points separating them.

Leicester -

Swansea H
Man U A
Everton H
Chelsea A

Spurs -

West Brom H
Chelsea A
Southampton H
Newcastle A

Honestly, based on current form and what teams have to play for, they have fairly even run ins.

Game 1 - West Brom and Swansea are both pretty much safe, sitting bang on the same points and having so-so runs of form.

Game 2 - Man U away is the toughest of the lot based on current forms. Van Gaal finally seems to have found a bit of form and they're fighting for that final CL spot. Chelsea will do all they can to try fuck up Spurs' chances at the title, just because of the London rivalry.

Game 3 - Everton are currently the worst defensive sides in the league and are on a terrible run of form. Southampton on the other hand have taken 8 wins from the last 15 games and hold a defensive record beaten only by Leicester and Spurs. If it's a banana skin you're looking for, I think this is the one for Spurs.

Game 4 - We may have already crowned our new champions by this point. Either way, Chelsea will have nothing to play for while Newcastle may need a point (or three) to guarantee PL survival.

If Leicester take 4 points from the next 2 games, I simply can't see Spurs catching them.

Vardy may not be present for those matches so outside of Everton Leicester may drop points on all of them while I can see Tottenham gaining points in 3 of their games and can possibly upset Chelsea on their own pitch as historically Spurs have been a problem for them during the Abromovich era.



Looks like Hummels is on his way to Bayern, sigh.... Even tho there's some incredible players and teams in the Bundesliga the competition just isn't fun anymore since Bayern easily wins the league every year.

Great goals by alexis



I just realized that Liverpool could end in 4th place if they win all the remaining games ( Newcastle, Swansea, Watford, Chelsea, WBA) and if both Manchester teams screw up at least once. Wow.

In football a caught player has never had any consequences on the played match right? With Sahko caught in the Uefa League Liverpool will still go on right?

It depends football is erratic in these cases as they tend make it up as they go along sometimes, most likely nothing will change the result and he'll get a long ban as to change the result can prompt Liverpool to rightfully take legal action.



Newcastle is playing so well with Rafa. I hope they don't get relegated.
