Leicester with the opportunity to clinch it at Old Trafford is pretty sweet. The little team that could closing the deal against the big team that can't. Can't write it much better than that.

I don't know, for a team that wasn't supposed to near the title to wind up in what is hopefully second is still a great improvement. I just thought that they would win today and the race would be closer than it looks like now.
I think that punch cost them the game. West Brom were pretty much going through the motions before that, but afterward they played a lot more aggressive and took it to Spurs. Bad time to lose your head.

I think that you're right but for a different reason. At half they switched Alli to the side and moved Eriksen to the middle. That just didn't work out anywhere near as well. All hope isn't lost until Leicester gets the three points. And on the really positive side Arsenal won't finish above Spurs, and could end up out of the top four. Really the season is an all-round success when you stop and think about it!
I want Renato Sanches though and rumours have heated up ... United have scouted him intensively (22 straight games apparently) and their interest is no secret (Mendes said Benfica turned down a 40m package in January). Seems like it'll happen in the summer though, according to di Marzio as well as O Jogo and the Guardian. Will be a 60m package, just unclear how much of that is going to be up front and how much is going to be added in bonuses. Probably something like 40m + 20m in bonuses when all is said and done.
CRAZY money obviously for a 18-year-old, but he is an exciting prospect and I like that they're using their financial muscle to target great young talents. Adding him to Martial, Shaw, Rashford etc would set up the club really well for the future.

Thanks for this. Had to look him up and watch some highlights. Strong on the ball, great passer and a lethal shot. He's a #10? How does he defend?
More of an 8, but can play 10 too. Positionally he has to improve, but his defending is decent. Only watched him in the CL games against Bayern ... he's very raw, but you can see why big clubs are after him. Lots of talent.

Wow. This sounds so Wenger-ish.
