(I'd lost that faith) A bloody nose and wet boxers for the big four , and a few more I bet Leicester fans must be pinching themselves right now !! Will be fascinating who they sign and how they go next season My mate`s a Saints STH and she told me in the week that that`s what they all think down there. They (and presumably most fans of the other `lesser` clubs) had pretty much given up ever being able to really compete with the big four or five but this season has given them fresh hope. She even said that, although she could never want Saints to lose a game, she didn`t dwell too much on their 1-0 defeat at the Walkers last week - every little helps and all that!

Up The City! Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Maybe a ploy by Spurs? Have a broken down car in the middle of the road. Certainly something Sir Alex would have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidNoble Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 We helped them out mind! We rejected four bids for Maynard back in 2011 (final bid of £7m) and they chose to instead spend £1m on a certain Jamie Vardy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Three things I wish for this season, City stay up, Rovers stay down, Leicester win the league.. I'm not asking for much.. 2/3 are pretty much nailed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I wonder if any truth will ever come out about these doping allegations? in this day and age we are regularly told that players need rest etc at that level. Last time I checked they'd used 19 players in the premier league, I think 7 of them had played every game and no major injuries. Good back room staff? Just lucky? Something else? considering a lot of other major sports has had high profile "supplement" abuse, and the amount of money now involved that has created a must-win at all costs attitude, I'm amazed there's never been anything in football.

Thought we had accepted the bid, but the ever wise Nicky said he didn't want to win the Premier League and elected to take a career path that sees him relegated from the Championship.

(I'd lost that faith) A bloody nose and wet boxers for the big four , and a few more It strikes me that at least 30% (6 out of 20) of this season's Prem are "unfashionable" clubs; Soton, B'mouth, Norwich, Palace, Swansea & Leicester. With only a few games to go, currently none of them are in the bottom three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 We had a thread on this a few weeks back, since then Leicester have won every game without conceding a goal. Fair play to them. Think wenger will be out this summer. He won't be able to use the excuse of other clubs having a bigger budget to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously our players must have been doped to the eyeballs last season using your logic. I don't recall us using much more than 18 players regularly.

Lanterne Rouge Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 It seems to be mostly recreational drugs in football and you never hear about it. The player just picks up a `hamstring strain` in training and is quietly dropped for a few weeks until his ban`s expired. Unless the silly sod puts it on twitter or something, it`s all hushed up.

yardy Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Possibly the biggest shock in my footballing lifetime along with Greece winning the Euro's, absolutely amazing to see Leicester win the Prem. Everyone talks about how good Vardy, Mahrez and Kante are but what about Fuchs? For me he is the best left back in the Prem this season and i don't think i have seen him make a mistake, quality full back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 With Spurs unlikely to win all their games, how many more wins do Leicester need? 2 I think? Swansea home should yield one. The other 4 games are 'tough' on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh 2 is what I reckon...if we assume they beat Swansea home (although not a given but very likely) then they need one win from other 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
