Roberto Martinez discussion

[bluestevon]

Because cups still matter, despite what you say to the contrary

Without looking it up mate can you tell me who won the last 10 of them? can you tell me the 4 teams with the most LC wins?

Name 1 team to be where leicester are now and then fall away.

Define "falling away"

 

[WA Toffee]

Fairly sure they've achieved 47 points from 23 league games mate.

So they have achieved safety from relegation. Well done Leicester, proves it can be done without squillions.

 

[Shagster]

I was responding to someone who said we can't compete without finance, showing that in fact it is possible, and Leicester are the perfect example, of a side set up to win football matches through hard work and knowing your strengths.

Apparently some bloke from Italy flew into swansea last week and instantly set up a team to deal with our system. High press onto a panicking back four, who'd have thought it.

 

[bluestevon]

What, you think they are going to win the league?

they may well do, either way they will be playing next season in a competition we have never qualified for

2015 was Chelsea
2014 was Man City
2013 was Swansea
2012 was Liverpool
2011 was Birmingham
2010 was Man United

That's literally off the top of my head. I watched every single one of those finals as well

No. They are currently top, but a lot of teams have been in the top 4 until Feb, March even April, but year after year they fall away and the usual suspects take the champions league spots.

Leicester, at the moment, have achieved nothing.

you do realise their great form isn't from August don't you? this is a continuation from approximately February / March last season.

Mate they have done things this Season,we can only dream about.

 

[Cultured right foot]

Can't believe some people are so dismissive of the league cup.

It's a day on the ale with a load of blues at Wembley.

who was the last team to be top at the start of February to not qualify for the CL mate?

You say lots of team so will wait for the list to be put up

[tim cahill]

I miss the Martinez in or out polls.

 

[bluewally]

not for me.

Howard out and the squad updated further in the summer. I still think he can see this out and kick us on.

What evidence is there for Howard leaving, squad updates or Martinez ability to see this out and kick us on?

Not break the glass ceiling. So not qualify for europe through the league.

This isn't a southampton or a west brom who were 4th in november, this is a team 3 points clear in 1st in feb.

They will defo do what we've done only once in 6 years and qualify for europe, they'll probably also do what we've doen only once in 25 years and qualify for the cl.

The idea that they don't prove that the opportunity was there for us is stupid. Chelsea are 14th you know, the opportuntiy was clearly there and we missed it.

Don't actually think anybody is being dismissive, they are just saying that it does not deflect from 5 wins all season in the league and an 18 month win percentage of 29%.
