I won't ask "Can Spurs win the title"?, because they're bound to crumble at some point. Their win does at least make the title race more interesting.

Spurs crumble around March time? Might be a bit light up front but they have not been as reliant on Kane's goals this season.

Will be interesting to see how Pep goes against the other title contenders.

To be fair to Pep and City, the difference between KDB and Navas is huge.

But then again, because it's so huge, and because they were playing away to Spurs, today highlighted a failing in Pep. One which you didn't see in Sir Alex, for example. Don't bother to play Navas, it's not like it was likely he'd do anything. Respect the opposition, and play another man in the middle of the park. Reduce your attacking options to 'just' Aguero, Silva and Sterling.

Anyway, we've yet again been punished this season for not signing a top striker in the transfer window. Had the chances to beat Leicester - and were easily better than them (even Ranieri has said we deserved to win), despite only returning from Israel on Friday night - but a weak forward line let us down again. That's about nine points dropped already, that our play didn't deserve.

Guidolin sacked by Swansea.

On the cards from the rumours going around.

In comes an American Bob Bradley, the former National coach and Le Havres current manager.

Never heard of him!

He still does. Indeed, I believe he's the USA captain.

Had a very brief stint at Villa, but now plays back in the MLS after a multi-million pound move from Roma.

I think that's him.

Didn't realise he still played for the US.

Leicester loose 3-0 and can not manage a single shot on target.

Title defense is over, and maybe need to make sure its not Champions to Championship in one season......

Seem to be really giving the champions league a fair shake though.

Finally score.

Seems like a very controversial red card in the Arsenal game.

Bournemouth cruising at present. Looks like its finally going to be Sunderland year to go down.
