He should have used appropriate protection then.

Maybe he could have wrapped a mask around it.

Did the 4th official see that nudge by the bloke in the tuxedo. It was minimal, but there was definite contact. I think that's why Salah went down.

Definite penalty for me.

Have any of the 3 games we have had cancelled actually been solely down to Leicester?

Spurs were struggling more than us at the time and also wanted the game canned and I’d wager if they were happy to play the game would have gone ahead, where as both Everton and Norwich solely down to them.

Seems the club with the most injuries and the busiest Xmas schedule now can’t whinge despite showing their willingness to honour the schedule because some players went to a darts match and not locked in padded rooms like every other premiership player presumably has been, unbelievable Jeff.

Spurs wanted the game called off so they could play Rennes 

once the PL rejected that course, they travelled up for the game. They did not have enough covid/injuries to cancel the game 

 

Everton weren’t very bothered about our request to postpone but the request definitely came from us 

 

norwich was nothing to do with us

New goal music?

Yes, we can use it to goad the opposition when we win, too.

 

Every goal for us followed by 'IIIIIN ONE', 'IIIIIIIN TWO'

 

Then at full time we wheel a speedboat onto the centre circle and the Birch looks to the away end while shouting 'look at what you coulda won'.

May 14th, 2022. Leicester City retain the FA Cup with a 3-0 win over Liverpool, thanks to a Maddison hat trick. After waiting his turn to lift the trophy, he looks right down the camera and says in a Scouse accent “look at what you could have won”, while Vardy walks in front singing the Bullseye theme tune with a ball stuffed up his jersey. Bom bom, bom bom bom bom bom bom, bom bom bom…

 

Scouse piss is well and truly boiled.
 

Hamza offers Adrian Durham a speedboat, which he can’t accept because he’s self isolating.

Huge Leicester City title claim made over Derby County survival bid
Wayne Rooney's men are attempting to pull off an unlikely escape from relegation after a 21 point deduction this season.

ByAmie WilsonMidlands football writer
21:30, 4 JAN 2022

Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman has said that Derby County surviving relegation from the Championship would eclipse the achievement of Leicester City’s title win in 2016.

Wayne Rooney’s team have been deducted a total of 21 points by the EFL this season, leaving them at the bottom of the table.

However, three wins and a draw in their last four league games have put the side to within 11 points of safety and in with a fighting chance of staying in the league at the end of the season.

Derby, who are still in administration, have turned to free agents and young players to supplement their team.

City pulled off one of the biggest ever sporting shocks in 2016, defying odds of 5000-1 to lift their first ever Premier League trophy, just six months after pulling off an unlikely escape from relegation of their own.

But Goodman has said that if Rooney’s men do achieve survival at the end of this season, it will be a ‘bigger achievement’ than that achieved by Claudio Ranieri's team.

“Winning football matches breeds confidence and they’ve managed to rattle off three wins in a row which they really, really needed,” he said.

“If they pull this off, I’m going to put something out there. I would say it would be an even bigger achievement than Leicester City winning the Premier League, and I know that’s a big thing to say.

“It would be a minor miracle I have to say if they can pull it off, they’ve got no right to go close to be honest with you.”

 

 

That claim hasn’t gone down too well with City fans on social media.

“Further cause for my petition to stop cheapening the #LCFC title win with ridiculous comparisons,” one fan wrote, while a second said: “Yes, if they pull it off it would be a ‘minor miracle’ but what @LCFC did was a ‘major miracle’.”

 

John Gamble
Hardly a comparison when Derby are competing to finish above the worst 3 teams in the Championship. Good luck to them anyway

 

Paul Wright
Derby trying desperately trying to get in the east Midlands debate what achievement was bigger, leicester winning the Premier league, Nottingham forest winning 2 European cups.........or Derby surviving relegation from the 2nd tier

[LestaFox92]

Points reduction or not derby surviving in the championship isn't a miracle it's probably like 60 pts whats that mid table for a team like derby in championship is about the going rate and as one of them said in the OP the level of competition is literally a league above.

Don Goodman is a throbbing helmet

[Greg2607]

I appreciate it's not hugely comparable to our PL win, but you really do have to admire the work Rooney is doing at Derby. A club in administration, free agents and youth players, and he has them competitive. 

 

It's probably more aligned to the work Micky Adams did here, but for a young manager, with very little experience, i'd argue he is doing a better job than Lampard did. 

 

looks like he could be a real talent in the future as a manager.

[Hamilton Fox]

He’s says Derby would be pulling off a minor miracle yet all around the world ours is considered a major miracle..

[Xen]

If you look at last season's table, finishing 10th would have still kept you up even with a 21 point deduction. TENTH.

 

It'd be a good achievement, sure, but the bottom of the championship is so poor that mid-table form is enough to give you a fighting chance at staying up even with such a big handicap.

 

It wouldn't even surpass our great escape achievement from 14-15, never mind the title win.

Edited 5 January 2022 by Xen

[coolhandfox]

Not going to happened they are 11 points adrift, having played more games.

 

Drawing with 4th from bottom in the last game was a major blow.

 

 

[urban.spaceman]

It'd be a decent achievement for sure, nothing compared to ours.

 

What people should be pointing out is that they're now level with their PL points tally from 2008 despite having had a 21 point deduction. A reminder that they are quite literally the worst PL team of all time.

[ealingfox]

It definitely could happen. Only 3 teams in the league have a better defensive record than them and there's some absolute dog muck hovering in the few places above the drop zone. They'll overtake Barnsley and Peterborough for sure.

I was so worried when we came up that we’d be worse. 
 

Turned out alright.

I wouldn't go that far. The run we strung together was remarkable but we shouldn't have been cut adrift at the bottom of the league for half a season in the first place. Also, we didn't receive points deduction and we were allowed to buy players.

I was genuinely worried that it was going to be beaten by Sheff Utd last season  

 

Newcastle and Burnley are already on 11pts and Norwich are on 10pts. Surely they'll pick up a couple of points at some stage
