Leicester City (H) - Pre-Match Thread

[lcfc_chump]

:) Assuming this talk is the normal pre-match Mancunian Haka? Vardy. He is a fabulour player who started his top flight career late and despite tabloid nonsense, has for several seasons now taken care of himself, suppported by excellent sports science. He does not seem very injury prone, but has a had a few.
This would be conspiracy theory nonsense was mildly amusing initially, but now looks tired and a little sad.

Would be happy seeing us play a 4231 again, giving Kev a bit of a licence to roam and providing the back four with a little more cover. Can't stand Leicester as a club, still remember how small time they were in the 70's.80's, 90's etc with pitifully low crowds and shit away support. Stabbed Ranieri in the back after he supposedly wanted to stop the doping and they have somehow managed to avoid proper FFP despite overspending their way out of the championship.Their title win is still tainted in my eyes as well, want to smash them by at least four clear goals.

Comedy gold!

The season they walked the championship he only scored 16 in 41 games then followed that up with five the next season. The miraculously he then scored 24 in 38 games. Funnily enough the next season when Ranieri gets sacked possibly because he was against certain practices he reverted to form and scored 16 in 48. Then maybe certain things change again and its 23 in 42, 18 in 36 and now 16 in 18 whilst all the time getting quicker as he gets older...

there were always rumours Leicester and, perhaps, Vardy in particular were on the juice. All allegedly and conspiracy etc. I wonder if we'll ever get the truth in an expose in years to come.

Their clappers annoy me

Sadly seen as good luck by highly superstitious owners. Can see why as well, considering they were introduced with us foot of the table by a mile and with 9 games to play.

The rest they say, is history... "Great Escape", league win, quarter final of the champions league, three quarter finals and a semi final in domestic cup competitions and a charity shield, now sat second again at Christmas.

Rumours, made up by idiots, peddled by idiots. There is no drug in the world that will take a team rooted to the foot of the table and get them to win the league.

If you're trying to make a serious argument then you need to drop stupid things like wondering how a guy can score 5 goals when shoved on the wing in a relegation candidate, to 24 when played in his natural position being supplied by PL POTY while winning the league and scoring 6 penalties.

Sterling had just as miraculous an increase in goal scoring, going from 10 a season to 25.

If Leicester are doping so are we, and so are Liverpool and so are everyone else.

It's all about opinions

It's all about opinions

And when your opinion is based off conspiracy theories and ignoring context to fit your narrative, it's not worth much.

It quite simply isn't remarkable that a player scores 15 more goals when he 1) Gets matched with a top class coach 2) Gets surrounded by very good players (inc two PL POTYs) 3) Is in his second season so can adapt to the league 4) Gets played in his usual position and 5) Gets put on penalties (which accounts for 1/3 of the increase).

Like I said above, Sterling went from 10 a season to 25 when he got some decent coaching. It's not special.
