Just now, Matt said:

I must admit, he's looking the most lively i've ever seen him, not sure that's any major compliment i've gave him there but a compliment nonetheless.

Fresh start at a new club, bet it was hard for him here, when Ulloa was often playing ahead of him

[hejammy]

That Slimani fella looking lively and a decent football player, we should take a look in the summer 

[Guest]

Slim could "lead" his team to finish above us in the prem.

[Guest]

Almost as if he's better off as an actual striker rather than playing our special number-ten-but-not-really position. What a surprise

Given that he has played about 3 games all season he should look lively 

[yorkie1999]

Doesn’t fit the Leicester Mold of a 5 1/5 foot tall frontman

[ZeGuy]

Oh look, Slim not played out of position is doing well.

[fazzyfox]

On current form and with our Arsenal & Spurs fixtures to come it won't just be Everton who overtake us, Newcastle will too. Can't believe I'm supporting Arsenal, I need a shower after this, shouting offside and appealing for fouls for the slightest contact then switching to library like silence as they make harmless passes.

I can see Jose Mourhino letting West Brom win today so that Man City win the league on his terms.

 

I win... in the most minor way possible.

if only Arse had Giroud to bring on.

Good player is Slimani but Vardy is obviously better. Anyone arguing any different is a spastic. Just be happy Slim is in a team that suits him because he seems a nice bloke.

I'm writing to the Premier League about this weakened side Arsenal have fielded. 

[ZeGuy]

That's three more goals for Kane today then.

[ZeGuy]

Newcastle to stay up. Happy for them.

[fazzyfox]

That roar is the sound of a club with momentum, passion, determination. With the pressure off I think they'll get even better in the next few games.

What is a Spastic?

Can see it as well, pleasant to see players giving it their all for the shirt, manager, and fans, I can still remember what that was like.

 Our players are on holiday already, wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t get another point, even Southampton looked good until Chelsea really turned it on

[NorthfieldsFox]

Offer Rafa £7m a year and £75m transfer funds 

 

let’s Gerrim in

If they keep gifting points like that we might indeed finish 10th. Everton are already closing down.

Arsenal are taking quite a risk at the moment. No guarantees they'll win the Europa League at all and Burnley's form and run-in isn't too threatening so they could finish 7th and have extra matches to play in the Europa League next season.

Originally from the Midlands, Newcastle are still fighting a relegation battle, although a win today would see them safe. We'd offer him more money too. If Mike Ashley doesn't sell, he won't invest much into the club, so they'll probably be in the bottom half for most of next season again.

Only two points between Leicester & Newcastle  & they could possibly finish better than us.

I guess a lot depends on whether Ashley sell the club.

Burnley go above Arsenal and into top six if they beat Chelsea at home on Thursday.

 

Does 6th mean one qualifying round less in Europe?

Take it a step further.... 

 

Imagine the reaction from all the moaning Gooners fans if they flunk out of the Europa, Burnley finish 6th and Southampton win the FA Cup, leaving the Arse out of Europe.

And Leicester can help the above come true: Leicester 3 Arsenal 1 (May 9).

Your own fans yesterday admitted you were lucky to beat Watford last week, Pope was motm yesterday we deserved at least a draw, you will not beat Chelsea in midweek as your luck will run out soon.

 

As for the Europa league playing Thursday and Sunday with your squad next season I will lump on in the close season you will be relegation candidates with your squad.  Simply not big enough to cope with the extra demand.
