Interesting fact 2.
If you'd stuck £20 quid on Leicester to win the league at the beginning of the season - You'll get a £100000 if they do.
It's a funny old game.

Well my lot aren't going to win it this year (again) so I'd love to see Leicester win it with games to spare.

So far 22 people have cashed out the highest winning 57k.

Also doc not sure we're you read the Chelsea one .
But I would bet 10 quid it ain't true.

I would take you bet but I would win. It is easy to do just go back to the beginning of December and add up the point for all the top teams and compare with Chelsea points and Chelsea would be top of the league.

Mourinho was sacked on 17 Dec. The table before the next game was Chelsea 18 pts Leicester 38pts.

Current table Chelsea 44pts .leciester who have played 1 game less 66pts. That is 2 or if they win today 5 pts more more than Chelsea since mourinho was sacked. I have not checked if any other team as got more than 26 pts.

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Table after next game is the beginning of the new era, and not including any presumed result today.

I think then it is joint top. It was said at the BBC I think on football focus, so I checked it as I thought it was interesting.

Jammy - how did Scotland get on ??

Have the English fans caused the problem? The first I heard they were attacked by French hooligans a couple of days ago and then by the Russians, but of course we'll get the blame and now they're talking of a ban for England and Russia but will this include one for the French? Changing the subject I thought England played very well in parts but somehow lacked that telling pass, Sterling and Lallana just lack that international quality for me and I would certainly bring Buckley back into the side. Lets hope for better things on Thursday.

I watched England play Tunisia in Marseille in 1998. On the way to a ground , we turned from a side street in to the middle of riot , I looked up in the air and there were hundreds of green bottles hurtling towards us . Tunisians don't like the English . Same old thing . drunk English and people their to fight them .

The touch paper for the violence this time were Russain organised gangs [ approx. 150] who wanted to fight The English based on a reputation decades old .

had Russia been part of Europe then it is likely the 150 or so Russains would have never got out of the country as they would have had their passports confiscated . A decline in English violence abroad is one of the many benefits of Europe.

As for Englands performance . same old shit , different day . Russia are a poor side , Wales will beat them and on this performance Wales will beat us .

Have to agree England were really poor, can't understand why the pundits thought they were good..do they know what they are talking about?

Re the appalling violence I must admit it did cross my mind whether there might be something more sinister here at work?
