    Some of your own won't thank you for that first line RCL <laugh> you may get banned from your board!
    Good assessment though, I think most of us feel the same as removing Ranieri probably wouldn't change that. Need a clear out

    They have zero confidence.

    I don't think it's down to a lack of effort. The players were hurling themselves to get in the way of some shots last night similar to what they did last season. Trouble for us this season is that every shot that went just wide for us last year is nestling into the bottom corner. We don't have any luck going for us at the moment and most of that is down to the fact we're not earning it.

    The entire spine of the team (with the exception of perhaps Schmeichel, although he's had a very dodgy month or so) is in horrendous form.

    Huth, Morgan and Drinkwater (the three most underrated players from last season) are having a miserable time. Drinkwater is totally out of sorts. Look at Matic for Chelsea, looks a world beater with the best midfielder in the world next to him.

    We need to catch a break. Yesterday we should have had a penalty or two and Vokes' goal should never have stood. It's the way it is at the moment.

    I still believe that the sides below us aren't good enough to get out of their mess but we're going to give them as much of a helping hand as possible. It's next season I worry about, particularly if changes are not made in the summer.

  7. You have plenty of obsession.

    You've made about 20 responses to various posts of mine, even though not a single one of them either mentioned you or had anything to do with you.

    You are sick, Skiddy, and need help.

    Our home record against the current top 6 since our promotion reads...

    W - 4
    D - 4
    L - 5

    Not bad for aside that cost 15p and a packet of quavers.

    Yet another self made wum fcuk up gimp. <ok> if you make a post it is open for all to see and comment on that's why it's called a forum and for your benefit here's what it means:- 'a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged'.

    I realise they don't teach that at Cambridge gimp but the lesson was free......don't thank me. <ok>

    Leicester messed up in the summer.

    Instead of capitalising on being Champions of England and signing proven top talent, they went and signed players the likes of Hull/ Sunderland/ Burnley etc could have attracted. Slimani was the only one who had a solid reputation and even he wasn't being chased by many (if any) top teams.

    So adding unproven foreign talent, on top of a side that although performed brilliantly last season, were on paper a team of mediocre players with the exception of one or two, it's no wonder they're languishing where they are now.

    Can't see Leicester going down but I'd say they missed a massive opportunity to become a real force.

    Totally agree.

    We signed the sort of players we were after the summer before but with an extra 0 on the end of the fee.

    Musa and Mendy cost us 30m between them and they've been such let downs.

    We should have gone out and splashed on Michael Keane and Adrien Silva. Would have set us back 50m but they were two positions that needed filling.

    ..alright Quentin? ...I should have added.."before Spurs come to visit the KP and Pooch continues his 100% record of never having beaten a Ranieri team in a league game" :)

    So basically the players are not trying and Leicester have not been ambitious.

    What was wrong with them facts when I said them, or indeed some other posters, going back a few months ago?

    In other words 'called it'

    Should be about what is said not who says it if I remember the correct etiquette.

    Tbh I can't remember the quotes in question but possible it was because people were hoping it wasn't the case and didn't want to jump on the players backs too much. Being as how we are now into February and there's been no improvement whatsoever, it's clear that it's correct

  19. Your apology is accepted, Johnny Boy.

    I'm waiting, now, for Mental Mickey and Bambi to give me their apologies, and perhaps this thread can rest easy.

    Not to you unfortunately gimpy. You hedged your bets so well that you lose any credibility for your prediction. At least Sky and Spurlock have the balls to be more specific with their predictions
