Leicester City Football Club

You're an interesting rooster...no-one can call you a fence sitter, that's for sure lol

They are proper poor though...from the perspective of viewing a team at this stage of the season in first spot. Defo the worst ever quality team to ever inhabit that position at this time of the season. What are they other than Vardy's goals? Nothing. Just a bog standard team that will get their arses served up on a plate to them this Saturday.

Are you sure LOL ! Probably be another DRAW lol

Very possibly, but I'd say probably not.

a) we're miles superior anyway
b ) they've just lost their CD unit.

Expect a big Everton win as The Entertainers take their one touch spellbinding football to these east midland halfwits.

I think we will score 5 against these.

Got to feel that Leicester are going to be done over come the January sales as the "Big 4" come fishing for Mahrez & perhaps Vardy and Kante.
Big 4 don't like anyone ****ing on their chips.

Leicester have said that those two are going nowhere but I think you raise an interesting more general point.
Often, we see big spending teams buying up talent from, comparatively, poorer clubs and the general assumption is that it is just to strengthen their squad. It often doesn't work out, as we know from many of the players leaving our own club. However, it does have the secondary effect of disrupting "smaller" clubs and keeping them "in their place". Look, for example, at what has happened to Soton in the last couple of years. I don't think that it is orchestrated or some sort of conspiracy but the practical effect (of big clubs buying up talent) is almost like a cartel. I think that RM, with Stones and Barkley, is in a way trying to buck that trend.

It's not just us mate. The influx of money into every club means that most teams aren't forced to sell anymore.

Exactly.....and all of a sudden the likes of Louis Van Gaal, Mourinho etc start to seem only human. Its always been a smoke and morrors job eith theie sort hiding behind money.

Not fit to tie the laces of the likes of Clough, Revie or our own much loved Howard Kendall.

Ultimately, though, money always talks and much as we are going to hate it Stones & possibly Lukaku will go in the summer - both for eye watering sums somewhere north of £40m each IMO and so we have to start again. Going to happen to Leicester and all the rest trying to break the cartel. In the end, UEFA will do it for us by only allowing 3 PL teams through to the Champions League

You make that sound like thats going to benefit the money clubs. If the PL drops down to 3 clubs i think its going to mark the beginning of the end of those clubs. They are there solely to be in the CL. Theres already too many of them right now. Mark my words, WHEN the PL drops to 3 its going to cause a domino effect and one of those money clubs are going to pull out. Cant come soon enough imo..

One could add Bertie Mee, Bill Nicholson, Busby, (dare one suggest Shankly and Paisley), and definitely Harry the Cat to the list of those that LvG and Jesse aren't fit to tie the shoe laces of...

ALL managers are crap these days.

I mean, there was never goalkeeper, defensive, midfield and attacking coaches in the game 20 years ago.

There was one manager and one coach. That was it. It's all delegated these days. And I don't think the game's any better for it.

Hopefully quite the opposite. With the exception of Arsenal (never bothered me), the downfall of City, Chelski and even Utd (never mind our deluded neighbours) cannot come fast enough for me. I hate the way the media are all over them simply because they think nothing of spending tens of millions on bench warmers.

Jealous ... moi?

Bit unfair that. Delegation is the art of good management. Fergie, so we are told, rarely took a training session

Doubt they'd sell in Jan. Summer is another story. They might be able to hold on to them. Its hard to say what/if future bids would be. Vardy will be 29 next month and Mahrez wasn't that much of a prospect. They'd probably be wise to stay and take the 60-80K/week that LC could offer.
