The Leicester City Thread (merged)

[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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
