'Congratulations on your title. You lead the way with your promotion of youth, the way you refuse to throw mega bucks at the team, the way you tirelessly scout the lower leagues for diamonds, the loyalty you show to your managers when they go on long losing streaks of three games, the huge number of English and British players you have in the first team. Chelsea FC are a credit to English football. Oh did I mention your loyal, knowledgeable and sporting fan base? This triumph is truly deserved, enjoy.
Penned by an absolute nobber who can't be a fan of any PL team.

Nothing personal, of course, but this is the worst post that I've seen in SA in years.

Which manager got fired after losing three games in a row? Mourinho was fired after having 15 points from 16 games, losing his 9th game out of 16 and winning only 4. This year after 16 games they had 40 points. They were absolutely right to fire Mourinho because he was a disaster last season and they were literally in relegation form. They got 29 points from the following 16 games after Mourinho was gone and that includes turning around the team, not starting from a great position and in that period they only lost one game, and that was the 16th game after Mourinho left. As in he lost 9 out of 16 and immediately after he left they didn't lose for 15 games.
 
Harsh on Leicester really. That first goal should never have stood but then you cant expect the assistants to make a correct offside call nowadays.
 
Sky commentator keeps asking if Sterling got a touch but isn't the rule about interfering? Sterling swung a leg at it so Schmeichel didn't really know where the ball was heading.

Not only did he swing a leg at it but he was directly between the keeper and the ball as the shot was taken so he's blocking his line of sight, no question he's interfering imo.

Lovely finish there by Okazaki.

Yeah I agree, I think they're missing the point completely, the fact that he didn't touch the ball is irrelevant. He was an inch away from touching it, he tried to play it, was therefore interfering from an offside position. Makes no difference where the keeper is, he was just offside. Meh.

Lovely goal for Okazaki but Leicester have offered nothing and certainly don't deserve to be anywhere near 2-1.
 
Im not watching on sky but find ut utterly baffling why that question is even asked. Do they really not understand the laws of the game? Especially one that is so well known and well...uncomplicated.
