    But Mark would probably say Sunderland will win because they have not won two on the trot for thirty odd years......
    Goes both ways.

    Did Mata just feel sorry for them or something?

    I think that Palace and Boro are below us depends on how many games you go back I suppose.

    We should be payed millions for this analytical insight.

    Also 2-0 Saints because even though Sunderland have just won through an amazing performance, Saints could turn it around.

    It is dreadful we lost to Palace and especally 3-0, it was their only win in 19 games until recently. Puel described it as 'difficult' - 18 teams would disagree.

    in another sport, Lancashire became County Champions and were promptly relegated the next so it has happened. Ipswich managed the fall from grace in two.

    Knowing Leicester they will produce an outstanding performance against Sevilla (I hope not as I would love Sevilla to reach the final of the CL). Having said that, I feel that Leicester will recover once the romance of the CL is terminated. However, let's keep our fingers crossed.

    Maybe Mahrez and Vardy managing to get huge contracts has left the dressing room divided there. And how much is either worth now? About 50% of their value of last season.

    It shows how difficult it is. Its why people shouldn't lose their **** with Les quite as quick.

    And to think he was shown the door by Jose at Chelsea. Now he is the team every week, so well done to him for not being intimidated after his previous experience.

    This will be Leicester's third 3-0 defeat in four PL matches (together with a 1-0 defeat to Burnley) - if no more goals of course. They're also on course to have scored just one goal in their seven PL matches since Xmas (albeit, fortunately for them, it was in a 1-0 win).

    Leicester are poor....after all we beat them.....and that's only partly a joke.o_O I like Ranieri and last season was amazing, but isn't it a case of returning to the mean. Went from relegation candidates to Champions, and back again. The club rightly fear relegation with all its financial penalties, but be interesting to ask their fans in the future whether it was worth it (not now it is too painful). They have won the title and did have a wonderful season.....when it all settles down (if it happens), it may have been worth it to the fans.

    And they sold their best player. N'golo Kante may not have scored the goals that Albert Steptoe did, or created them like Mahrez, but he was the equivalent of Morgan Schneiderlin, Victor Wanyama, and Harrison Reed on a good day in one person. Watching the Chelsea game on Saturday one of the commentators said that the Chelsea central midfield consisted of Kante on the left, Matic in the middle, and Kante on the right. He was everywhere, and Leicester are missing him about as much as we are missing Morgan and Victor.

    A lot more, even. Though he probably does do the job of both that pair on his own.

    My mate Oriol doesn't think we miss Vic/Morgan.

    I love all Saints players....admire their strengths and tolerate their weaknesses. Keeps me happy and makes no difference as I am not selecting the team.
