    Fully agree ... unfortunately our 'temerity' still rankles with a few <laugh>

    On Huth and Morgan you are absolutely spot on ... it was one last season of stretching every nerve and sinew ... a halcyon period that was never going to go beyond the winning post of the last games <ok>

    Not for sure, of course ... but they have consistently been in collections of better players than we had ... and came up short ... we had the perfect storm in terms of the personnel we had and the tactics that Ranieri employed <ok>

    Most football fans enjoyed Leicester winning the league. I certainly did.

    The problem isn’t that Leicester won the league, it’s that you’re a repetetive, tiresome bore who spouts endless amounts of illogical crap and behaves like a petulant child when anyone suggests that Leicester City and it’s players aren’t the wet dream of world football.

    And thats the key phrase "Better collections of players" not "better teams".

    Take all the waffle away and the simple fact remains that Mahrez isn't fit to lace the boots of a prime Le Tiss.

    Utter nonsense to suggest otherwise.

    Agree with some of this, but there are some on here who totally resent the fact that Leicester took the chance that others missed.

    Yet you twice referenced the fact that Le Tiss won nothing.

    That's your opinion Libby and I respect it ... won't change my opinion about Riyad Mahrez - I never expected to see such a mercurial talent in a Leicester shirt ... I was just having a bit of a laugh poking fun at Saints at the start ... and wasn't being serious about a comparison ... because Mahrez is a skillful speedy winger whereas Le Tiss was a central midfield play maker - nothing like each other ... anybody seriously contesting that one was is /was better than the other is a bit of a twat tbf because you can't really compare the two as players ... it's like saying Shane Long is a better player than Danny Simpson ... but it was rather funny watching the usual suspects getting their knickers in a twist <ok>...

    Well at least Shane Long didn't punch his mrs up. Bet you're proud of your clubs support of Simpson after that.

    He didn't ... Bod had longevity as his measure ... what's your point? ... what do you think makes one player better than another? ... mine is that it's a very subjective subject and you can't really compare players who play in different positions and who also have different attributes ... I think my point has been proven <ok>
