The Leicester City Thread (merged)

[1.618034]

It's about time they had their own thread.

Good on em I say.

Realistic title challengers?

I remember Forest coming up and nobody gave them a chance until they finally won it.

Who knows?

 

[Blue Haze]

I tend to think this playing style will wear down Leicester ultimately. It will come down to how much exhaustion their players can tolerate.

[gomer27]

i do not believe they will be able to win the league

 

[denislawsbackheel]

I do.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

It would be fantastic if they did it. Genuinely wouldn't piss me off at all. I think it would be great for English football.

 

[blueinsa]

Excellent and great for the league.

honestly i believe it would do the opposite for the league, a team that just qualified for the league this season should not be winning the league....that would never happen in la liga or the german top flight

 

[Gray]

Very pleased for them, they play as a team not a bunch of individuals.

Don't think there's too much danger of Watford, Bournemouth or Norwich winning the league this year.

 

[Demosthenes]

They're a cliche'd breath of fresh air. They play good football and they entertain. Today wasn't a huge test though, Chelsea are 16th for a reason. I don't think they'll have the stamina or luck to win the league, but a top 4 finish? Why not?

That's why their TV deals are so wank by comparison.

sorry meant to write a team that has recently qualified, not this season... my mistake

Absolutely.

If not us then I hope they do it.

yes i agree but regardless, they were playing in the championship 2 years ago and barely scraped by to stay up last year...they haven't really played any of the top teams this season though

 

[Ric]

Not sure who their chief scout is, but they've signed a couple of gems in Mahrez and Kante (not to mention Vardy).

 

[johnny on the spot]

January will be absolutely vital to their fate.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Absolutely.

If not us then I hope they do it.

It would be great to watch. Went for a couple of pints with an old mate last week who now lives in Leicester. He's not remotely interested in football but he said the whole town was absolutely buzzing about this season.

When I lived in Nottingham I often wondered what it must have been like for the place for a team from such a relatively small city to win the Championship. It must have been incredible.

Sign kante looks a boss midfielder

It's after the festive period when you can judge them properly. Fatigue, injuries etc. And the pressure will slowly but surely change. As long as it last l like it because it will be harder for other to finish top 4. It'll be a great game at their place soon.
