The Leicester City Thread (merged)

Just watched Leicester/Palace from last weekend Leicester are such an effective team.

Kante pressing the opposition into submission with Drinkwater controlling the game from behind is a great midfield two. Easily the best centre midfield two in the league. I can't believe how good Drinkwater's passing is, it was excellent during this game. Long, short, left foot, right foot. The build-up to their goal came almost entirely from Drinkwater; playing one-twos with the defenders, then plays a great 30 yard pass (brilliant vision) into Albrighton which leads to a cross. Once the cross is cleared, Drinkwater is there to instantly play it straight into Vardy's feet out wide and the goal comes from there. I love seeing that - the midfielder giving it to an attacker in a dangerous position really early. Seriously impressive play from Drinkwater.

No nonsense centre backs too. Morgan and Huth just defend correctly, nothing fancy, nothing glamorous, just defending. Otamendi and Mangala should be made to watch these two all week.

Vardy and Okazaki are such a handful. Okazaki's workrate is incredible, him and Kante are easily the two hardest workers in the league. Okazaki presses the centre backs intensely, then drops back into midfield making it a 4-4-1-1. He does this all game, so impressive to watch. Watch Bony lumber about up front for us then watch Okazaki put absolutely everything into every game. It's night and day really.

The most impressive thing about Leicester is that they're not a team of individuals, they're a team and the team comes first. Everything they do is for the benefit of the team. We could learn a hell of a lot from them. Well deserved winners of the league this season.

Leicester will win the league which is very embarrassing for the Premier League as a whole. How did the top clubs let this happen!? with the money spent this shouldn't never be allowed to happen.

Can't stand that smug **** Vardy lifting the trophy. Might turn off from football for awhile and watch a "proper man's" sport ala Rugby.

I only look forward to Leicester getting smashed around next season by the likes of Barca and Bayern to bring them down to earth.. they are not a top team so don't get use to it. Wouldn't be shocked if they are fighting relegation next season and it is like.. what was the point!? they have to compete on 2 fronts next season and have CL distractions.

Sometimes it is better for a club to build up to getting into the CL, to be fully prepared, not to get humiliated/embarrassed by the best teams. Yeah well done Leicester, but the positive is they won't have long to celebrate (seeing that smug/arrogant Vardy) before people's attention turns to the European Championships and then next season. It will be very short-lived as if they are struggling next season nobody will say "oh well they had a good season last season" football fans have short memories.

I prefer Forest's story it was back when football was still a working man's sport, and there was more romance in football, more characters.

Malty you're coming across as a bit of a bitter gobshite here.

One of the most 'we are turning into rags' things I've heard Blues say, and it's creeping in more and more.

To reiterate to any fans of any other clubs lurking, not just Leicester fans, this poster doesn't represent the view of City fans as a whole.

Fucking embarrassing.

What a sad fucker you are.

Why is it embarrassing? Who is embarrassed and to whom are they showing such shame? I wont be embarrassed if Leicester win the league in the slightest, and if anyone truly is, they need to have a long hard look at themselves as to why they feel embarrassed and the people they are embarrassed about this to.

Dont like the result, so going to watch another sport, very raggish, heard this from a number of their fans along with 'football isnt what it used to be, I am going off it'.

Should Leicester win the league they wont be facing Barca or Bayern, unless they get out of their group, as they will be in pot 1. Should they win the league and get out of the group, to be 'brought back down to earth' by Barca or Bayern, in no way will they have 'embarrassed' or 'humiliated' themselves, to use your frankly absurd turn of phrase, they will have done very well and helped our countries European coefficient better than some clubs in recent seasons.

You have little comprehension of the Leicester fan mentality, I have a good friend who is a match going Leicester fan, and he acknowledges that this season is a near perfect storm for them, under performing bigger teams and their luck with injuries. He says they are likely to be bottom half next season, almost certainly if Kante and Mahrez leave, and it would be 'typical' Leicester for them to go down next season. He doesnt care, should they win the league he will have that to savour, he never thought it could get better than their league cup wins, they acknowledge they arent a long term threat to us, he keeps saying to me, just let us have this one, it wont ever happen again. Their fans havent been arrogant or acting like its done, like some of the other club's fans in recent seasons. I really dont see what the problem is with them having their day in the sun. My mate doesnt care that others wont remember it in a season or 2, he will, forever, much like we will remember 2012 forever.

As for other fans of other teams remembering their success (its frankly an absurd suggestion this is anyway important in the first place) why would these 'neutrals' remember a Spurs or Arsenal win anymore? They wont, they would more likely remember Leicester winning it at odds of 5000/1 far more.

Much like you preferred Forest's story, I preferred when Bluemoon had a better sense of perspective, it wasnt so arrogant and dismissive of other teams abilities and efforts, when there was more honesty and realism amongst the posters and there were more characters.

Excellent post.

I want Leicester to do it now we won't, it'll be fantastic for football in this country.

Malty has been showing himself up lately.
