I think winning the title has affected them mentally, emotionally and physically. And i think doing this amazing achievement has caught up with them this season. Also teams know how to play against them and thats why Vardy is not scoring

But the big miss is Kante as he was the engine room in the midfield and without him doing all the work in getting the ball back from the opposition and starting the attacks the team has not been as effective as it was last season. People say Mahrez and Vardy and a great defence won them them the title. But Kante in midfield was the one that made Mahrez Vardy and the defence play better
I dont think they would be doing much better if Kante was still there, so many just seem to be playing poorly and look like they have lost the drive they had last year.

The last 2 games they have played like a championship team, it has been so poor all round, if they carry on playing like it, they deserve to get relegated and certainly dont deserve the big fat wage rises most got.

Magnificent Chelsea equaliser from Pedro!

Two wonderful goals we've seen in this match.

Just watching the half time summary of the Rotherham v Leeds game and they have showed the red card for Odemwingie

What a nasty assault and then trying to look all innocent

deserves a lengthy ban

Chelsea 2-1 up and absolutely rampant now - it should be 3-1.

Spurs' defenders just cannot cope with Costa at all.

Spurs must hate the sight of Chelsea.




Well on top for 45 minutes but now behind.

Swansea Palace game proof that not all high scoring games are high quality or that exciting. Pretty much every single goal was awful. If Swansea's goals didn't come so late on, the game would have been flat out boring imo.

I watched the whole match and for the most part it was dreadful. Two teams desperately low on confidence and quality and as a Palace fan it's especially worrying considering the players we have.

Probably go down as a OG with it coming back off the post, but I can't recall seeing Charlie Adam head a ball from a corner before

This seems to be the weekend of PL defences being unable to defend set pieces properly.

Thought that was a pen at first but every single replay makes it look like a worse decision. Impressed by Bournemouth's composure though.

bournemouth had 2 great chances just after the penalty and were probably the better team for awhile, arsenal back on top now tho

The goal summed up our day!

Let them dominate and get on top so we just got frustrated and created next to nothing.

Stoke came to do a job and did it well.

Ref was really hopeless too but overall we didn't help ourselves!!

United fans think they just need to score more goals and they'll be fine but their defence is crap too.

I never thought I'd say this but I felt a little bit of sympathy for him as kicking a water bottle is hardly the most heinous thing a manager can do - but I understand why he had to go under the new crackdown on dissent.

I also understood the reason for his reaction as well as Pogba was quite clearly evading a tackle rather than simulating.

No sympathy for him at all. Love watching him implode.

Well, he'll have even more reason to do so now as it's finished 1-1.

Will he face the media or will he leave it to Rui Faria?

He was doing this at Chelsea, it should not come as a shock to anyone
