Ranieri has done an unbelievable job there and doesn't get the credit he deserves. Imagine the plaudits Mourinho would get.

Leicester are a brilliant team, their teamwork and work rate are just phenomenal. They remind me a little bit of Atletico Madrid, no world class players but a great team.
At the moment,he must be a shoo-in for the manager of the year award. And if they do go on to win the league, he'll deserve it. Or even if they go on to "only" finish in the top 4. Remember, this time last season, they were dead in the water (similar to Villa now?). That's some improvement.
 
They're in a perfect storm just like Liverpool two years ago. Players playing a system that suits them, no other competitions to distract or tire them out, all players available, riding high on confidence. I can't see ranieri fucking it up like Brenda did.
 
They were excellent. Game plan executed perfectly by a coach who clearly prepares and exploits the oppositions weaknesses. They are nailed on top 4 and now I think they could win it. After Arsenal they have 9 games where they don't play any of the so called bigger sides and in the last 3 when they do, it is against rags, Chelsea and Everton, at least two of which will have nothing to play for.

I fear if they re still in the running then any team that has nothing to play for will roll over for them ....let's face it the entire footballing world is routing for them (including some of our own fans!)
 
Thoroughly deserve to be top of the league.

They did a number on us yesterday and executed their game plan perfectly.

Defended like lions and attacked like tigers.

Best of luck to them.
 
Could be the first PL Champions to be relegated the following season, unless they massively invest which would then fall foul of FuFP. Wouldn't want to watch a City team playing like they do

I agree.

Whilst I prefer watching football with a little more style and finesse, what they do they do superbly.

Agree. What impresses me about Leicester, is they never amend their style of play, no matter what the score is.
When they went 2 up, I was expecting the whole style of play to tighten, slow down and generally attempt to repulse a
City onslaught. Instead they carried on exactly as before, surprised our players and scored another, deserved goal.
If they can carry on in this vein, they'll piss the league.
