The Leicester City Thread (merged)

Serious rivals now. We need to beat them at ours.

 

[1.618034]

Next 3 league games are

Liverpool H
City A
Arsenal A

5 points from them, not unreasonable, and they're, still, laughing.

We've got

Sunderland A (Shite but a bogey team)
Leicester H (We can't lose!)
Spurs H (We can't lose!)

and Arse have

Soton H (not easy)
Bournemouth A (not easy)
City A (They can't lose!)

Meanwhile, for completeness, Spurs have

Norwich A (should be easy)
Watford H (Should be easy)
City A (Will fancy their chances)

But "they are Spurs"

Going to be a very telling few weeks. All but Leicester have an FA Cup tie 3/4 days prior to those first games and any draws will be most unwelcome.

As I said before I think they're now a shoe-in for top 4 and despite having, arguably, the worst squad they have fewer games and no pressure.

I'm rooting for them. To finish 2nd behind us.

If they're still top after their next 3 games, they're title favourites. No doubt about it.

Vardy and Mahrez looked back to their best on Saturday. Those two have been out of form for about a month and Leicester are still top - didn't expect that at all.

They won't be top after next 3 games.

No FA cup to worry about either

The next 3 games are tough for them but after that they have 9 games where they don't play any of the so called bigger clubs. Only in the last 3 games when they have a rags side who will probably be out of top 4 by then, an Everton side who also will be and a Chelsea side who will be. If they did manage to get 5/6 points in the next 3 then I think at that point they have to be taken seriously.

It's remarkable what they have achieved in the last 12 months or so.

Leicester Fan in peace

As a Leicester Fan i am on cloud 9 and loving every minute. When I am down in the dumps (with family issues, money issues and work issues) i just look at the table and I start smiling. This season has been just amazing. I want to win the league. We are currently top and have no more distractions such as the FA Cup, Europe or the League Cup.

Liverpool play on Tuesday after coming through a tough game at Norwich and hopefully there players won't be up 100% when they meet us.

Man City have Everton in the League Cup on Wednesday, Aston Villa in the FA Cup, Sunderland and then us.

Man City should beat Everton but it is a semi so anything can happen, Hopefully you thash Aston Villa 9-0 and you should beat Sunderland but they are fighting relagation so will be tough. I am hoping that by the time you meet us you have just beaten Everton, Villa and Sunderland but those games have taken there toll and we win.

Like I said we are on cloud 9 this season, I was hoping for a mid table finish but to now look at the table and start to think that we have a chance of winning it is unbelievable. The whole city is buzzing.

Good Luck to City in the League Cup on Wednesday and the FA Cup and I hope you finish in the top 4 behind us.

If Leicester are 8 points clear with 2 matches left some twat in the media will still say the won't win it.

Yeh don't get the negativity. TBF the only one who's backed them is Mike Graham (Talksport) who has said why can't they last the pace? when everyone is doubting them. Fair play.

It's great for the league, it gives everyone a dream.

There final three matches could well prove to be a bridge too far Untied away, Everton home and Chelsea away.
