Sol thewall Bamba Posted 23 November 2015 Share Posted 23 November 2015 The Leicester fans that call the 606 football phone in are rridiculous. Most other teams fans put up a reasonable debate and seem quite grounded but ours sound punch drunk spouting embarassing things. This weeks highlights were Kante's the best midfielder ever, arguing with Savage because Savage said he thought Lennon and Izzet were better or have done more for LCFC at least. The guy kept making out Sav had said he was better. Proper clown The last caller of the show saying we're definitely going to win the league. It must make other teams fans think we're all like these lot Whoooooosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing to think that this time last year we were 5 and a half games without a goal and this year we're the top scorers in the league without blanking once.

Jacnah Posted 23 November 2015 Share Posted 23 November 2015 Playing Style Wild, British, offensive - Leicester is in the Premier League for spectacle. Front hui, behind Pooh. 28 goals - no team has more. But for that it rained even 20 goals conceded. Only six teams were to score more goals. Pro Leicester game almost four goals are scored in the section. By comparison, only nine goals conceded Followers ManUnited, scored himself only 19 goals. Got to love google translate. just exactly the kind of football i want to see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 23 November 2015 Share Posted 23 November 2015 Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists Leicester are not title contendersLast Updated: 23/11/15 3:47pm Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has praised the work of Claudio Ranieri at Leicester Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho insists Leicester are not title contenders despite sitting top of the Premier League after 13 games. Mourinho, whose Chelsea side have endured their worst start to a Premier League season and lie 15th with 14 points from 13 games, believes Leicester and manager Claudio Ranieri have done "amazingly" and "deserve respect". But the Portuguese believes Ranieri - whom he replaced for his first stint as Chelsea boss in 2004 - and the Leicester players would not be insulted by him ruling the Midlands club out of the title race. "Whether they be title contenders or not, we should focus on what they are doing and say they are doing amazingly well," Mourinho said. "I am happy to see somebody in Ranieri that, when he signed for Leicester, all the bets were that he'd be the first one to be sacked, but he is top of the league. Claudio Ranieri and Jamie Vardy have done 'amazingly' according to Jose Mourinho "I don't think Ranieri and the Leicester players will insult me if I say I don't believe they are going to be champions. I think they will accept my comment and feel more my compliments. They deserve respect for what they are doing." Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Champions League Group G clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv, Mourinho was also careful when answering a question about Jamie Vardy's success. The England striker equalled Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of scoring in 10 consecutive Premier League games on Saturday, and Mourinho said: "I don't want to analyse the boy because if I do you will take my words and put them in a different perspective, and say I want to or do not want to sign him. "The point is a super striker like Van Nistelrooy did something historical in the Premier League, and the reality is that Vardy has equalled that and has the chance to make history. So what he is doing is remarkable." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 23 November 2015 Share Posted 23 November 2015 Wenger on Jamie Vardy…It’s absolutely fantastic. It is not a miracle, because that is a consequence of his quality. The miracle is that he played at Fleetwood and that he didn’t play in the Premier League before. Wenger on Leicester…It is a surprise. Leicester fought not to go down last season but they won their last seven games. When we played against them last season at Emirates Stadium we came to the conclusion there is something special in this team already so overall they surprised everybody and congratulations to them.

EnglishOxide Posted 23 November 2015 Share Posted 23 November 2015 (edited) I've got a feeling that because we've not really been on TV this season it could play into our hands. Opposition fans have only seen snippets of us and our players on MOTD this season. It will take a few games on TV and against the big clubs until people fully understand what we are all about. I really hope we perform over the next 6 games or so because it would be an injustice to label us a flash in the pan.

Corky Posted 23 November 2015 Share Posted 23 November 2015 (edited) http://www.football365.com/news/premier-league-winners-and-losers-11 There have been many quick to state how much credit Pearson deserves for this Leicester rise, but that feels slightly disingenuous. Of course they finished the season strongly, but Ranieri has got far more out of the club’s attacking players, recruited smartly and changed the formation from 3-4-1-2 to a fluid 4-4-2 that varies between 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-1-1. He has been the tinkerman, but less so with his team selection and more with the shape. Have to say I agree with this. In a way I think Pearson has been given too much credit for last season but not enough for what he did before. To win a league with 102 points is a remarkable achievement, to nearly get back-to-back promotions is a very impressive effort. Getting a professional environment in place to ensure we have a fit, motivated squad should also be noted. Last season was very trying and Pearson struggled hugely, it was only in the last 10 games we found a style and formation that suited. To stay up is fine and shouldn't be taken away but plenty of mistakes hindered us, whilst Ranieri has signed good players and improved several of those he's taken over (Vardy, Drinkwater, Morgan, Simpson as well as giving Albrighton a proper run). I think we're beyond Pearson having a huge influence now, however well he did for us. Edited 23 November 2015 by Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're beyond Pearson having a huge influence now, however well he did for us. I think the credit Pearson has got is fair enough. We know at least three (Okazaki, Kante and Fuchs) are three of his / his teams, they would have improved the team under him also. I'm at the point I don't think we'd be where we are with him though. Purely because Claudio is so much better at seeing an issue and fixing it. He won't carry on with x player if he's playing badly for months on end. If it's not working first half he changes it in the second, rather than waiting for 65/75 minutes so as not to upset a player like Pearson seemed to.

EnglishOxide Posted 23 November 2015 Share Posted 23 November 2015 Pearson and the players took until the back end of last season to learn how to win games in the Premier League. The difference this season is that the players have that experience behind them. And Ranieri already knows how to win games at this level, his experience and tactical knowledge is superior. It's that simple really. There's no doubt we would have improved us even more under Pearson having that first season experience, but not to the extent that Ranieri has.

Matty Hamez Posted 23 November 2015 Share Posted 23 November 2015 It is pretty great to see we're even getting into this conversation. but that doesn't mean that Sky article can't annoy me. "Southampton were second this time last year but ended up finishing seventh. Leicester will surely go the same way..." Firstly, incredibly minor point, but after 13 games Southampton were 3rd. Less minor point, we aren't 2nd! And we're certainly not 7 points off the top like they were. On the other hand Newcastle were 9th this time last year, so it'll be funny to see Liverpool collapse and nearly get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffs Fox Posted 23 November 2015 Share Posted 23 November 2015 Sky's major argument for us not winning the league is the fact 'we are Leicester'?! So ****ing what? What's a team's name got to do with anything? Big name bias is unreal, I know we won't win the league but the fact we're Leicester City isn't the reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
