Haven't read the whole thread so apologies if it's already been said, but I haven't seen the ball hit that long that often for many a long year. I knew Wimbledon had moved north but didn't realise they'd gone that far north.
Rumour has it Andy King went off injured with a sore neck!

As I said, I don't think it'll happen for us next season either. 2018/2019 is when we'll truly be able to see what Pep is all about. You must consider the near broken, aimless team he inherited and further consideration needs to be given to the fact that Conte, Maureen, Teeth, Wenger & Potti are no mugs either. Why would you expect a comprehensive PL win, and what would you suggest City do if a comprehensive PL win doesn't materialise? Also, thinking ahead to your logical conclusion, and replace Pep with whom exactly?"Lessons Learned"..........I truly hope so.
No more Spuds,Leicester,Everton,Monaco,Boro tactics & selections. That'll be the acid test. He's a very complicated guy is our Pep.
Nothing other than a comprehensive PL win will do next season.
I went to the match, so probably saw it from a different perspective to MoTD..."...there were several times when we went to break on them & either played the wrong ball or lost possession...."
I must have blinked when those incidents were on MotD.
I would have blinked with surprise as well if they had been on motd."...there were several times when we went to break on them & either played the wrong ball or lost possession...."

The best thing about this season is the return to fitness of Kompany. We won two titles with him as captain and if he stays fit next season we'll go close again. But of course teams like Chelsea aren't going to stand still.As I said, I don't think it'll happen for us next season either. 2018/2019 is when we'll truly be able to see what Pep is all about.

Its the way its lauded by the media that fucking irks me. Keeper gets the ball, Vardy the hare sets off and boom, its whacked downfield for the hare to chase. Its not football, its almost the hail mary of American football yet plucky Leicester are showing us all how it should be done apparently and deserved more.
My arse they deserve more.
I wholeheartedly agree.Spot on. The 'fairytale' love-in last season made me wanna throw up. Not to mention the way that the spineless twats downed tools on Ranieri and got him the sack, then reverted to the form (and tactics) of last season. As far as I'm concerned they can take their happy clapper bits of cardboard, shove 'em up each others arses and fuck off back to league one where they belong.
Many home games this year we have played unbelievably well and only taken a point or got beat (chelski). Yesterday we were average but won. We got one 50-50 decision in our favour and according to the media Leicester were robbed. Fuck me, we weren't great but only one team deserved the points and that was us. I'm glad to see we can actually win a game that we didn't totally boss for 90 minutes. That's what champions do so the omens are good for next year.

People who say that don't think.
I think next season depends on he transfer window. I agree it will still be transitional, which is why 3 years is too short a contract, but with Jesus fit & a few signings, this team could still become pretty hard to stop, even with flaws.
Conte had a team that coasted the previous season, changed the defensive system after a few games, had referees happy to give them freekicks every time Costa/Hazzard fell over and looked the other way when they kicked out & had no European football to worry about.Interesting then that Conte can inherit a team that finished well off the pace and City. Start the season badly and then find a system with the players available to him that works and wins the Premiership with ease. And we need how many more windows?
Will do for who? You?"Lessons Learned"..........I truely hope so.

They havent had the odds stacked against them from the start like we have had with every game, the refereeing decisions we have had to endure this season have hamstrung usInteresting then that Conte can inherit a team that finished well off the pace and City.
