Man City's Mendy cleared of 6 of his rape charges and 1 of sexual assault. He still has two further rape charges pending in a different trial.

I am so bloody furious Chelsea fired Tuchel. I really liked the guy. I hope whichever of the players sabotaged his reign are now happy being run into the ground by a Championship level coach.

No thanks. Although we might still battle it out for relegation, at this rate.

Hey, anybody wants to take Xavi off our hands?

I've seen enough.

But yeah, the chances of us stumbling upon a better manager are pretty slim.

Turns out Mikel Arteta was the best of the bunch of young managers.

It will feel really bad when Todd Boehly throws money at him to manage Chelsea in the summer.

Super Mik Arteta's tricky reds have conquered Tottenham, doing the double on them this season. Now Arsenal are 8 points clear of City at the top. Home to United next.

Personally, I still don't think they'll win the title, so I'm just enjoying the ride while the riding is good.

Fulhams penalty yesterday was bizzare, never seen the like. So unlucky.

I think Arsenal look great and I see no signs of them fading. Man City look really out of sorts at present, particularly defensively.

I think Man C. are focussed on Champions League now. I think they'll win that.

I do think Arsenal are the best team in England right now but the bench is so thin it could be their undoing.

As a post-invincible Arsenal fan I'm used to disappointment so I am expecting another big injury crisis and falling away in the spring. BUT I admit I did fall asleep last night dreaming of the day we win the league in May.
