Leicester

[Bjornebye]

Its fucking amazing. They looked far better than City today. Its frightening how good they are. They top the league completely on merit and I for one hope to god they hold their bottle.

 

Vardy is playing as well as anyone in Europe. He is a little chav prick but fuck me he is lightning. The whole team work for each other and you can tell how high the spirit is.

 

Ranieri keeps playing a title win down which is good man-management.

 

Chat shit, get banged

[El Rojo]

The new pressure of potential success might be their undoing. Hopefully not though.

[Paco]

we also looked far better than city.

 

city will go toe to toe with everybody but their defence is nearly as bad as ours.

 

take nothing away from leicester they have been absolutely brilliant and I hope they do it.

[stringvest]

I'm really pleased for them.  

[Lee909]

Good luck to them

Id like to see them do it

[Russ Atmosphere]

If they do fail, I wouldn't mind it occurring through someone slipping on their arse.

[SasaS]

I was watching them today and for the first time believed they may actually go all the way. You could definitely feel the glow of something special happening with them. Maybe they were collectively bitten by a radioactive fly or something.

[Jairzinho]

They're essentially the complete opposite of us. They're far more than the sum of their parts, do the simple things superbly, and are doing wonders to destroy the tedious "we can't compete" financial bullshit excuses. Fair fucks to them and especially Ranieri who seems a thoroughly decent chap.

[Grinch]

Doubt theyll do it tbh. They've piss poor players in many positions. Everything is going in their favour but it wont be enough Its a shame City are so shite this season cause a Arsenal or Spurs league win will cement us outside of the top four.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I hope they win it, that'll fuck off those wannabe purists of the game who actually know didly shit.

 

They are top on merit. 

 

They are not only good in attack but have a very well organised defence, a solid midfield with an absolute gem in Mahrez who cost 400 grand ffs. They have an excellent man manager and the whole club seems to pull together. 

 

25 games played and only 2 defeats. 

 

A lot of the so called pundits reckon they'll flap as the line comes nearer, can't see it myself. They'll be 13 points clear of 5th place if the mancs lose against Chelsea, 12 if they draw and still 10 if the mancs spunk a win. They are nearly as damn nailed on for CL football next season, that is their dream, anything else is a massive bonus. If they were going to shit themselves it would have been this week, us then City, they passed with flying colours. Hope they fucking stuff Arsenal.

We have no fucking chance of a top 4 at the moment, best we know our place at the moment mate, thinking we are a big club under the current set up is deluded. 

[Dr. J]

No injuries, no Europe, out of the cups, playing the same guys game in, game out. Just like it was for us. Sometimes it all falls right.

[usernameunknown]

Kinda torn on if I want them to win it. An underdog story is great, especially one as insane as this. Ranieri is a great fella too. But...... yes I'm bitter, little Leicester winning the title while we cant in my life time would be fucking shit, an inspiring story for us to look to maybe but still annoying. Well done to them and that but I think I'd probably prefer City winning it and no one in the world giving a fuck other than 30k fans in Manchester. Sue me!

[ZonkoVille77]

Fair play to them. They deserve it. Shows what pride and teamwork can do.

 

We're fuckin shite

[Guest Pistonbroke]

We're fuckin shite

 

Even if we win the Lactose Free milk cup or whatever the fuck it is called these days we'll still be shite, but, the paying fans deserve a trophy and in years to come it will be a trophy won on the records and nobody will give a toss about the dross we played that season. 

 

Be pretty ironic if Leicester won the league, we won both cups and the usual crowd who the media suck up to won absolutely fuck all. 

[Anubis]

Good luck to them. I hope they get across the finishing line. Ranieri has drilled his players superbly and they seem to have an excellent team spirit. As I've said elsewhere, it would be like raising the ghost of the old First Division, where money wasn't such a deciding factor, and goods managerial skills coupled with good team building could see you across the line.

[Lee909]

Be similar to Derby winning the league under Clough. Except Ranieri isnt a cunt

[Boss]

They deserve to win it as well. It's not like they're grinding out 1-0 wins, they're dismantling top quality teams and holding their bottle when all around them are faltering. Credit has to go to Ranieri for setting them up the way he has, if ever there was a group of players that bought into a system the way they have, i've yet to see it. It's that fine balance between utter belief in the manager and utter belief in each other that keeps it going. It's a joy to watch.

Or Forest being promoted and winning the league and a year later the European cup. Imagine Leicester winning the CL? 

[moof]

I'm pleased for them. It's a great story and i naturally root for the underdog anyway.

If vardy can do it on a wet Wednesday night against Stoke then I'm sure he'll have no problem going to the camp nou, mate.

[Lee909]

They'll struggle with the additional games next year but fuck it. How great it would be for there fans. Going into the season just hoping to stay out the bottom three then this. Id be delighted for them.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I'm not overly arsed if they win it or not. It'd be a good story etc, but if we don't win it, I don't care who does provided it's not United.

 

On Leicester though, it's not just the potential success on a relatively low budget story which is captivating, it's also a good story to show how some people can over complicate football.

 

How Leicester play is hardly rocket science. No false 9, no regista, no inside forward wing attack, no tiki-taka. It's a bit of a throwback to the 1980s. A 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 formation. A solid back four whose primary concern is to defend. Two hard working central midfielders. Big, strong players who'll put in a shift. Two pacey, direct, skilful wingers. And the ability to mix up their front 2 between a fast direct player, a deeper lying, skilful goalscoring forward or a bigger target man.

 

They do what they're good at. Defend deep, narrow and well organised. Concede possession, soak up pressure then when they get the ball back they get it forward quickly to the pacey players and hit the opposition while they're out of defensive shape.

 

Simple. But effective.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

If vardy can do it on a wet Wednesday night against Stoke then I'm sure he'll have no problem going to the camp nou, mate.

 

With the windfall going to clubs due to TV rights this summer/CL football and bonuses for finishing high up the league they could easily make our aims harder, aided due to our owners trying to do things on the cheap whilst fleecing the club. 

[Dr. J]

Watford, West Ham, Palace - they're all doing the same, and shitting on us.
