Funny "Neutrals" thread!
Occasionally you get "neutrals", hiding behind the "neutral" part of the thread. But often people don't even hide their club allegiance or bias. |

This thread's never really been a neutral thread. More of a general football discussion thread.

It's neutral in the sense that it's neutral ground and you can comment on other clubs misfortune without having to resort to being a WUM in a fans thread

I don't really see any other league of similar standard having the two top teams at this stage having no continental competition to plan for. |

At least any lingering hope that Leicester might have had of a top four place is now gone thankfully.
Paddy Power had them at 50/1 to be relegated earlier today but i suspect that'll change. |

You have to remember that when European football finishes next month then the teams that are a few points behind them will be on a level playing field with the top two. So Liverpool and Chelsea wont have that advantage over the teams that are just behind them

Oh certainly anything can happen as they proved, but now that the luck they had has deserted them, they're back to their rightful place.
Manchester City in the 1937/38 Season apparently. Won the title then went down the following season despite also scoring the most goals in the league as well, at least according to Wikipedia. ![]() ![]()

I see its a International break this weekend. How many is that since the season started 4 or 5? Seems ridiculous so many. Just as it gets interesting along comes another break. What's the worry about having a winter break when there's so many breaks anyway.

After Googling to confirm what season it was (37/38), I see that the season before that, they became champions while Man United got relegated. |

Is it just me or does it seem like there's been more international breaks so far this season? Sure this is the third one.
The fortnight off is fairly new. |

There is going to have to be a huge break around this time, to fit in the world cup after the Russian one.

So I think if we cannot do so, I would prefer Spurs or Chelsea to do so, as those I think are the least worst other options that look remotely like it could happen for them. |

Liverpool and Chelsea both have the advantage of no European football so they can keep fresh.
City seem a bit complacent at times. Still don't think Arsenal have what it takes to get the monkey off their back. Still think defence will be key! |
