The general consensus of the EPL fans is that their teams don't do well in CL because their competition is tougher and it tires the players out.
Well I think there could be some truth in that, but it's not that EPL teams are tougher, it's because they play more games than most european teams (they also play the efl cup). I remember in the early 2000s, when it's still called the carling cup, epl teams used to field their youngsters. Now they take the cup seriously, so no wonder their players are more tired. Well, it's their choice though.

That's true. Also their decision to play Christmas games work against them.

As if more reason was needed to hate Leicester players
I don't know why there is much hate going on since Ranieri confessed the players had nothing to do with his departure.

I actually hated Sanchez in this vid more than Fuchs; if I was him I'd do the same exact thing probably. Sanchez fukkin around unnecessarily and then blatantly filming and crying after a ball hits your fukkin shoulder.

Utd's behaviour regarding Zlatan's injury has been very strange. I guess at this point it's safe to say it's not 'just' an ACL tear or they would have said it already.

How would he know? Also how silly to blame sanchez, what is he supposed to do in response to that? Just take it? Attack him and get suspended? He played it at you want your players to play it

After 33 games:

1. Chelsea 78 pts, +40 gd
2. Tottenham 74 pts, +47 gd

Round 34: Everton v. Chelsea, Tottenham v. Arsenal
Round 35: Chelsea v. Middlesbrough, West Ham v. Tottenham
Round 36: WBA v. Chelsea, Tottenham v. Manchester United
Round 37: Chelsea v. Watford, Leicester v. Tottenham
Round 38: Chelsea v. Sunderland, Hull City v. Tottenham

=============================

I didn't realise how unbelievably easy Chelsea's run-in was :D A point at Everton would probably be good enough considering that list.
