S5M24: February made me shiver

With reflection - I feel I've used this title before...

Well what a cracker we had back in the last PL weekend.

Norwich vs Liverpool - is there anything better than a 5-4 yo-yo game? Especially one with a last minute equaliser from over 20 yards from a centre back...before an even later winner!

Then we had Dele Alli with a nonchalant flick-swivel-volley in a serious contender for goal of the season - am I the only one really worried about this Spurs team? Look to be the real deal in a way that they never did under Harry Redknapp or AVB - those teams were built on monkey-faced quicksand. These guys are lean, mean and tight - a few more goals and there's a really exciting future for the wrong side of North London.

Vardy got back amongst the goals - Leicester are just defying all odds here with how they haven't dropped off yet. The next month will be crucial here. Charlie Austin marked his debut with a late winner at Old Trafford - it's hard to see what LVG can do to arrest this slide. With Guardiola going to City, it's hard to know who could come in and stop the rot...Mourinho's certainly not the guy to bring the "attack attack attack" school of play.

West Ham and City played out a great game, and doesn't the world seem a better place when Aguero is on form. I'm a massive fan of his - fix those hamstrings and he's got the game to be at Messi level in my opinion.

Finally - Arsenal took the ceremonial pistol this month, cleaned it, loaded it and very carefully aimed square at their own foot. This was not a good Chelsea side. There were plenty of chances to be level (even if Remy was doing a great job of keeping the scores close late on) and obviously this perpetuates the narrative - rather than looking at a month of scratchy form, it gets extrapolated to a point about Chelsea. Yawn.
