Leicester (h) pre-match thread

[frothy]

With it being a bank holiday anybody making a day of it? into town dinner time a few drinks something to eat, more drinks then the tram to the ground to watch City win

 

[BoundedCascade]

I am contemplating either calling in sick to work or making up a doctors appointment to leave early since it will be playing at 3 pm here.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Who is Leicester'12th man I mean who is the ref tomorrow?

Mike “The Woolly Back” Dean... @FA determined to make sure we win fuck all

 

[mccity]

I take it if we win then all of a sudden Brighton are going to be elevated to being one of the most dangerous teams in Europe?

 

[kaz7]

Put your money on several early yellows for us and if vinny is playing a red card early doors esp if he is looking after vardy
I don't fear leicester,i fear look at me dean,if ever there has been a fix on for the title it's this year

Hopefully a loud crowd and an early goal

 

[aguerooooo]

i Was asked last night " if we fail to take title ( god forbid) would the facup final be a bit of an anti climax"??

I m aware that this is a city forum and my opinion will be not very popular on here , dont get me wrong I m not saying you are wrong here but: over the last few games you were supposed to cruise and trash everybody on the road according to most people me included but things have been harder than most of us would thought:

• a win against Crystal palace that took a late counter attack goal to deny them coming back into the game after they deciding to actually start playing with 10 min left to go.

• a narrow win against tottenham with Ederson denying Lucas and Son on three occasions.
• A nil nil first half against a shocking united side , with yet another DDG mistake then Lingard missing the unmissable.
• A very tense narrow 1 nil win against burnely , with a goal coming deep into the second half.

Yet we were all thinking it will be a walk in the park, blitzing teams right left and center but we saw 2 narrow tense wins with both a one goal margin and a nervous city team seen against Utd first half, Burnley first half and Crystal palace last 10 min.

The thing is your team is on a 12 games winning run and it s always hard on the players nerves to keep going no matter how good you are.

Still , You are going to win the last two games , pool were so lucky in this title race and in all fairness it will be hard ending the season empty handed .. Again.

Fair play to you guys.

What a pile of crap

 

[RoryisTheBest]

Right.

Can you now post about all the dives, cheating, lucky goals, offsides, bad officiating decisions, opposition player mistakes that have got Liverpool to where they are now. Go through them all. I’ll be back in an hour. That should give you enough time to write and post them all.

Really. How the f*** you’ve got the nerve and the tenacity to come on BM and criticize City’s performances is beyond me and everyone on here.

Please, f*** off back to RAWK and discuss Fabinho’s dive that led to the goal.


Liverpool’s Fabinho escapes FA ban for diving vs Newcastle as regulations do not cover simulation outside penalty area


Despite tumbling to the ground with no contact from Newcastle’s Matt Ritchie, and Jurgen Klopp’s side scoring as a result, there is nothing disciplinary chiefs can do to punish the Brazilian

Don t be so offended , I didn t meant to.

You are right about our luck, referees decisions, diving and so on, in no way did I imply the opposit.

We all know we are nowhere near city level and we ve been so lucky to be fighting for the title till this point.

I just wanted to point out that I noticed nerves started kicking in citys game and you were not exactly cruising those last 4 games despite being unplayable for large spells, hardly giving opposition a sniff , all that said I see clearly that the team is somehow nervous and this is normal as players are humans after all , I dont see why you are getting so defensive about it , and I appologies if i hurted anyone.

I m here in a opposition forum and in no way I want to be disrespectful , I just wanted to share my views and I m gratefull the mods allowed me to join in at the first place.

My appologies , that s just my view.

So basically what you are saying is we are due a big win against Leicester........

I am done hearing about how cheating, diving, bad ref decisions at penalties & offsides, gifts of goals from goalkeeper fumbles, and opposition players missing sitters will give L'pool the title. I am done hearing about "it's their year." City have better players who score more goals and concede fewer than either Leicester or Brighton. They will win comfortably on Monday and when it comes to having to win on the last day there will be no repeat of the dreadful spell against QPR, this City team is better than the one that won that day. So fuck l'pool, anfield, rawk, the kop, klopp, martin tyler, the scouse=loving media especially the daily mail, sod off doubters and moaners on here, City are going to be champions they believe it and they deserve it, the best team in the land (and all the world.)

Let’s hope Dean keeps an eye on that diving little shit Maddison, an early yellow for him will put a stop to his antics. Vardy is another who isn’t averse to hitting the deck in the box.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Just got two tickets for this, absolutely buzzing for it. Long journey but well worth it.

I’m hoping that with 8 days rest the lads will be right up for this.

Special atmosphere = special performance, please.

Is RAWK shut Dippsy?

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Leicester won't have enough of the ball for Vardy to be a constant threat and Pep won't waste a player following him around - not his style. In my view, it'll be a case of us quickly getting into formation to try and cut out the through ball when Leicester's 35 per cent possession results in an attack. Do Pep's team talks really include 'I want you to pick up Vardy when he starts his run' ?

Agree to a certain extent but going back to the Spuds game Son was given far too much room , we can't give Vardy similar space , but as you infer , let leicester worry about us.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

I take it if we win then all of a sudden Brighton are going to be elevated to being one of the most dangerous teams in Europe?

One thing is for sure , i would rather be playing a shite Brighton team away than a half decent Wolves team with a tactically aware manager

 

[rnblade]

The vile cretin Murphy begging Lineker to get Leicester to get something off us, the comedy BBC coming out with a ‘one off play off’ for the league.
It’s never happened before, and the odds are so ridiculous.
Clutching at straws.

 

[BlueAnorak]

So you're saying that in terms of defense, we are joint top.

In terms of defence, at the moment, YES.

 

[mikemcfc]

full credit to Newcastle imo the better team lost It wasnt a free kick that led to the goal and until that they were fucked Its over to us please no fuck up City I COULD NOT endure the scouse love-in if we tossed it off Start against Leicester with pace and power and lets avoid the possibility of mine and a fair few other tickers being put through the ringer HOPE TO FUCK NOT but it would be Rodgers revenge for 2014 and Gerrards slip

With all the points from all the luck the scousers have had this year they have well made up for those points lost coming from the Gerrard slip, coupled with all the crap and non calls that have come our way we are well in the negative in the fair play department. time to put it right with six thundering points.

 

[mikemcfc]

Big TV money has ruined everything, i'm not naive, i know why, but still.
been said before but it's absolutely wrong that a clubs last home game is on a monday night. Still pisses me off.
it should be a great weekend afternoon for all young and old alike.
The FA should be put under fire and something has to be put in place so this doesn't happen again.
In mid-season, ya ok, but not the last home game celebration and send-off.

Totally agree with you, do like I and many others are doing and cancel your sky sports subscription, hit them where it hurts in there pocket because they won't change.
