S5M31: Runaway

You know it's gonna happen when the breaks fall your way. Offside laws be damned, Okazaki spectacularly keeps the Leicester train rolling. At some point, their inertia will be unstoppable. A 5 point lead over Spurs and a colossal 11 point lead to Arsenal in 3rd with 8 to play.....they're pulling away rather than being caught.

It's a little strange talking about the reduced programme, but Man City's dismal showing is emblematic of them as a team. Norwich are in horrible form themselves, but shut out a couple of billion pound's worth of talent to get a valuable and unexpected point. Meanwhile, the South coast revival continued, with a thumping 3-2 win for Bournemouth and an excellent win away at Stoke for Koeman's Southampton - I think he's going onto bigger things next year...maybe Man Utd if they come to their senses and forget about Mourinho

The week before - a cracker in the North London derby was followed up by an equally brilliant game at Goodison and an atrocious perfomance from a Newcastle side who clearly have had enough of Maclaren. He can have no complaints about the sacking - there is no excuse for a squad with that class to have had such an abysmal season.
