I don't think I've seen a team work as hard as Leicester. They are phenomenal. Huth and Morgan are beasts at the back. Bodies on the line at all times. Mahrez in the right-back position at times defending. Kante is just one awkward wasp in the midfield, winning balls he shouldn't and doing so whilst being harassed. Vardy covering miles and miles.

 

Just a stunning machine, I really hope they do it.

come on leicester.

they are going to do it.

They might even do it with games to spare!!!!

 

I bloody hope so.

 

I remember chanting "we're gonna win the league in the Championship". Amazing feeling, to be doing it in the Premiere league is fantastic. I wish it was us. Lucky buggers.

 

I'd even take a draw next week if it helps them ;-)

I just love it that Leicester are still going strong and still favourites. The big boys are being humbled and all true football fans are celebrating.

We're surely due a win against those arseholes from merseyside, entitled ******s.

Brighton up to 2nd in the Championship.

 

Imagine us, Bournemouth and Brighton up in the PL while Pompey (drew with Mansfield today) languish around in L2! :lol:

 

In danger of falling out the play offs at this rate :)

Did we once put in a bid for Huth?

The Leicester story is the most amazing thing I've seen in 40 years of watching football . What would the meltdown on here be had we replaced Toby with Morgan or brought allbrighton in ( myself included) . This is no forest or Blackburn , remember forest had the worlds best keeper , spent a million on Francis . I thought it would be amazing if we finished top 4 , but to win it , **** me . I have a mate who supports them , he is in dreamland . He's been married to a scouse for 25 years , lived in Liverpool that time and her old fella and family are st holders there . Who would have thought Leicester will win the premier league before Liverpool

Francis signed the year after they won the league.

 

I know , the point I was trying to make was that the leveliish playing field meant they could break the £1mil barrier in that era . Even if Leicester win the league the hottest prospects ie Kane won't go there . When us , Watford and qpr can finish second the league is obviously more " even " than it is now . Cloughie is the greatest imo , but it was a different world then . What Leicester have done , or will do hopefully , defies logic . An OK manager , with what is basically journeymen players , ****ing on the elites parade , I love it ( shame it's not us because I truly believe our Poch side was better than them )

The bitterness and rage on some of the forums of the 'Big Six' is delicious. Utterly delicious.

 

Arsenal fans calling them boring, Spurs fans insisting that they're better (despite the clearest imaginable metric of Leicester having beaten them on H2H & being above them in the league), Chelsea and United scoffing at how bad the league must be etc.

 

Really hope they do it. Will laugh like a drain if they manage it.

Bournemouth losing after 45 seconds. This could be a great afternoon. I don't particularly like Spurs or Poch but I really dislike Bournemouth and their ungrateful fans.

You've got your priorities all wrong.

 

Now 2-0.

Only 4 points off Man City in 4th place, 15 minutes to go.

 

We surely can't...

 

There are teams around us with games in hand but if we beat Leicester then it's doable for sure!!

Nah....there's still one more meltdown left in us this season I feel :)

Yeah I think we have potential for another wobble, but compared to others, life is pretty cool.

 

We are not going down, we have not produced Liverpool's excuse for a title challenge, and we have not blown the budgets that they, Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea have.

Benteke today - £32m. :lol:

Days like today don't come around that often so let's savour it, before the next wobble.

Our poor run earlier in the season was overwhelmingly down to our strikers not doing the business (6 goals in 10 games with one of them an OG and two coming from a CDM)

 

Now that Pelle and Mane have re-discovered their scoring touch, there's every reason to believe we can finish the season in good form, as long as our defence holds up as well as it has so far.

It's somewhat annoying to think that two more wins would have put us in the top four.

Sunderland and Villa home games were the ones I feel we really should have won- gutted, but we have also had our fair share of luck- Yoshida penalty calls vs WHU and Swansea immediately spring to mind.

I think it's somewhat amazing that if two of our wins were defeats we'd be down in tenth.

i dont think that was an unreasonable comment. 2wins in that rerrible run of 8 or 9 defeats woukdnt have been an unreasonable expectation. I think saints have again thrown aawaay a great chance to attack the top 4 spots.

 

Maybe he amount of cash awash in the game means the smaller teams no have a bigger chance every year.
