Shinji only scores shinsational goals now, his goal against Afghanistan was another shinsational goal.

Just read this on Red Cafe! "We were getting bitch slapped off Leicester when everyone else was beating them..... We're trend setters" "We were losing to Leicester before it was cool"

I've been thinking about us playing Barcelona for a few months now and I've convinced myself we would beat them! I'm sure we'd do better than Arsenal or Man City would against them. Europe is about to get a big surprise.

So just before he's about to play a nice cross into the box, his minds switches to quantum theory or something? It all makes sense now!

He's not quite managed English yet!

Nice things, really? It's the same patronising gash as it's been all season. Pundits, ex-footballers and jurnos have been saying good things said about us all season, but after the compliments there's always the...but they wont still be there after this difficult run of games or they could make the top four, but they cant win the league! It's always the same, Arsenal, Man City and now even Spurs can win the league, but we can't because...we're little old Leicester. We're top of the league, so if it's difficult for them to deal with, they can suck it.

Sod em, we've played them twice in the league so they can just be forgotten about now. Once we've knocked them out of the cup we can truly forget about them.

They're a sound bunch on Bluemoon, they seem to know more about us than any non Leicester fans and most of them are happy we are doing so well. I remember when we gave Derby THAT hammering in the Championship and there were a few on there that said we would do well in the Prem. If somehow we don't win the league I hope City do.

http://thecomeback.com/32flags/england/epl-england/leicester-city-wont-be-sellers-in-january-transfer-window.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=leicester-city-wont-be-sellers-in-january-transfer-window Here's a good article. Maybe because Americans are quite new to football, they don't see things the same way. It's good to finally hear what most of us are thinking. Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez — the Leicester City duo sit atop the English Premier League score charts and sit atop most big clubs wish lists heading in to the January transfer window. Easy call — sell high if you’re the Foxes. At least that seems to be the logic, and in most years a surprising team fighting towards the top of the table would be crazy not to sell. However, this isn’t most years and Leicester City aren’t most teams. With Boxing Day fixtures and a congested set of matches coming up, the Foxes improbably continue to sit atop of the EPL table. Currently, Leicester City pace the EPL with 38 points and are two points clear of Arsenal for the title. More importantly, this is a side doing it with just one loss through the first 17 matches of the season — yes, just ONE loss. That’s no accident, and a lot of it has to do with the timely scoring of Vardy and Mahrez, who have 15 and 13 goals respectively on the season. Yet, the assumption remains that the club will be sellers come January. There’s talk of a £30 million move for Vardy by Chelsea under new boss Gus Hiddink and of Chelsea buying crazy names like Alex Teixeira, John Stones and Marquinhos too. How could Leicester City pass up that kind of money for their in-form 28-year-0ld striker? Or so the logic goes. Yet, that would require a suspension of the reality that Leicester City are atop of the league and haven’t fallen off that perch once there. Some in the English media still operate as if the Foxes are just some mid-tier club with a hot player or two worth cashing in on. It also requires us to believe the season is worth giving up on and that there are other options for the club currently atop the table. Would one apply the same logic of selling high when “there’s no chance” to a Tottenham, Manchester United or even a West Ham United? No, instead most would be encouraging moves to strengthen the squad for a run at the title and at least a Champions League place. So, why would it be any different for Leicester City? With the Foxes at the top of the table, shouldn’t they be looking to add to their squad and perhaps look to strengthen a defense that has given up 24 goals this season? Wouldn’t Champions League money along with the riches of the new TV deals struck by the EPL be worth resisting temptation in January? Besides, selling a guy like Vardy for £30 million in January could be a pitance compared to selling a Vardy that just led the Foxes to an EPL title or Champions League soccer come the summer transfer window. Suddenly that £30 million looks more like a bargain than selling high for a player like Vardy. Put that fee together with the increased revenue streams and suddenly Leicester City has the money to be a serious squad all over the pitch, instead of one that did it with the second smallest wage bill in the EPL. There’s also the fact that if Leicester City are going to truly hang around for a title or Champions League run they’ll need Vardy and Mahrez in the biggest way this January. Let’s not forget there are matchups with Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham all within the first 13 days of the new year. How would selling Vardy or Mahrez do them any good in those top-level fixtures? Perhaps a string of losses in those fixtures bring Leicester City back down to earth, but even then they have a nine-point lead on the last place spot in the Champions League race (Tottenham on 29 points) and are up on third place Manchester City by six points too. Dropping those points are no guarantee they are done in the race either, given the propensity of everyone else to drop points on any given weekend too. It all adds up to a team that likely won’t be sellers come the new year, just don’t expect the rumors to stop in the rumor-mad English press. Many in the media and across fanbases in England continue to refuse to believe Leicester City’s run to the top of the table is a real one — and until that is put to rest, the transfer rumors of the Foxes as big sellers will persist.

Good read. I noticed your comment too, unless there are two Carl the Llama's!

It's obvious they don't know anything about us because most of them think we have just signed Vardy and Mahrez. You would think they would remember the end of last season when we finished stronger than anyone else, but that fact goes against their simple belief of us not being able to keep it up. They wont say we can win until it's mathematically impossible for anyone to catch us and even then some of them wont say it, because their tiny brains can't cope with the reality of the big name clubs being beaten by a better run club.

At the weekend I saw someone wearing a coat with a small forest badge on it. No word of a lie. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true honest! :xmasohmy:

And they must be feeling a bit concerned, Villa look crap enough to break some of their records.

I also read this piece of genius on the Liverpool forum! "People are not understanding how we are getting beat and by which teams we are getting beat by. I'm more worried about the games after after Leicester Sunderland and Stoke especially. I wish we could play the likes of Man City Arsenal and Leicester every week right now. Leicester wont sit back and concede possession vs us they will try and out play us and they will attack at every opportunity. I's very likely we will beat them in a high scoring game 4-2 or something. The two teams recently Man City and Southampton that played the way Leicester will play didn't have much joy vs us , teams like Watford who are willing to sit back and give up possession and hit on the break are having all the joy as we are one dimensional and if teams don't play into our hands we don't have a plan b and can't break teams down who do that."

I just read this on the Liverpool forum; At this rate the top four will be: 1. Leicester 2. Crystal Palace 3. Watford 4. West Ham God help their opponents in the CL next season, hope they've got a fleet of ambulances ready! Made me laugh quite a bit!
