Living the dream. Could be us one day As much as I agree re the diehard fans, LCFC have never endeared themselves to me. Last time I went up, a two nil loss I believe on a day they should have had about six (Nugent should have had a hat trick), the atmosphere was woeful and the ground half full. For a team going for the playoffs at that time it was shameful. I notice they have some form of fans/clappers to make more noise and fabricate some atmosphere. Fans were less than friendly after the game, very few willing to help me and my mate find a chippy. Got to respect the job the team on the pitch are doing, hard not to like Ranieri as well!

It defies logic that he was in the second tier, he looks world class for Leicester at moment and despite Vardy getting the headlines it's Mahrez who's been equally good all season.

cityexile Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Nine points off fifth now. That feels a significant lead, and something defendable. Outside of Man City and Arsenal over the rest of the season, really cannot see who they should fear. Mind you, will most likely finish 4th, and get bumped from the Champions league through Chelsea winning it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it happens with immediate effect, read a load of articles about English teams needing to perform this season as its done on a 5 year cycle or something. Champions League - 3 English (Arsenal v Barca, Chelsea v PSG, City v Dynamo Kiev), 2 Italian (Roma v Real Madrid, Juventus vs Bayern Munich) Pretty sure Europa League counts too - 3 English (United, Liverpool and Spurs v Fiorentina) Italian - Fiorentina (vs Spurs), Napoli (vs Villareal) and Lazio (vs Galatasaray) So 6 English teams in Europe vs 5 Italian teams, you'd think 1 English team would make it through the CL where as both Italian teams could feasibly be looking at going out. Europa League, will Utd and Liverpool be as bothered with EL if they're both pushing for top 4? Will they need to save players for more important games? Fiorentina knocking out Spurs could quickly even things up as well. Italy were very close to the English points total for the last team to get 4 spaces.

The Batman Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Managed to get 25/1 for them to win the league last night. With the others in the top 3 all having European football to contend with, both manc clubs not setting the world alight, and arsenal as inconsistent as ever. I thought it was worth a punt.

If they can keep the top players next month and stay lucky with injuries they will finish top 4, the danger is Vardy and Mahrez getting injured and having to rely on Ulloa who really isn't that good.

... Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 ....... that last Vardy volley was pure class from a striker in the form of his life. Typically bad luck for City though - with the January window coming up, I doubt if we could afford him now. I think he would give our attack a new dimension. Uncle TFR Posted April 1st.

Has to be one of bargains of recent PL history I suspect that I have seen more ligue 2 French football than most on here and to be honest only French ligue 1 sides generally buy from the lower French ligues and most ligue 1 sides will sell on very quickly at huge fees, neither of these players barely registered on the radar of most ligue 1 clubs, so I would say it is to the credit of the club that we scouted Kodjia a player that most ligue 1 clubs appeared to have no interest in at all especially at the price that we paid, even smaller ligue 1 clubs have paid at least this size fee and up to 8 million euros for similar talent from lower ligue clubs. What it will do obviously is make more clubs aware of the odd talented players in French ligue 2. So I would say be very happy that we seem to have unearthed a real gem at a good price and fair play to Leicester who appear to have unearthed a similar gem, who like Kodjia was not on the radar of the bigger French clubs.
