As I said .....long way to go. I would save your harping on until you've won it....Otherwise you might end up looking stupid.
please log in to view this image Make your own minds up. I know the quality of the picture is awful but I reckon its still in play. The whole ball has to cross the line and I don't think it does.
I really don't think that saying the title is Leicester's to lose is in any way negative mate. I really do believe that to be the case. However, we are in a great position and a win Tuesday night followed by another against Burnley should see us with a good lead over 3rd place. My recurring nightmare and that of my lad too is that we lose the play off final to Reading!!!
Hi lads! ... flattering to be so featured on your thread! ... some interesting perspectives ... spanning the whole dichotomy of the football fan ... hope, expectation, wishful thinking and some realism ... From my perspective ... and I've been watching the buggers man and boy since 1969 ... we now have a very good squad for this league ... we endured a rather spectacular collapse last season with the manager persisting with our relatively youthful team (including Michael Keane on loan from Man United at centre back). This season we are a year older and the likes of Moore, James, Drinkwater, Knockaert and Schlupp have developed markedly both in experience an stature - add to that some astute, experienced signings, Phillips, Wasilewski, Taylor-Fletcher and Hammond and you can see we have far more strength in depth - and in Wasilewski a guy that is not only an experienced international but a guy that would run through a wall if the manager said "do it". We also have Lloyd Dyer in the form of his life and Jamie Vardy more than repaying the "£1 million gamble" of signing him from non-league - his pace is exceptional (as you'll know ) and the many penalties (admittedly high) we have had have largely been due to his pace making defenders lunge and miss the ball ... For these reasons I wouldn't hold out your hopes for a collapse - yes we could drop points - we can be beaten - but we have momentum and belief and winning is becoming a habit ... as such it's a very good time to be a Leicester fan - good luck for the rest of your season (apart from when you play us, of course) - I'll happily take second ... but I think we will take a lot of dislodging ...
Can't argue with that! IF we beat you at your place we might catch you. My money would be on QPR and Leicester going up. Champions or runners-up; who really cares?
Only difference between QPR and Leicester is that we have drawn four more games than them. This is entirely in our own hands and I'm not all that interested in what they, or any other team do. We simply have to win all our home games, and a good chunk of the away games and avoid losing at all costs. As we are set up to avoid losing the challenge should be scoring more goals and winning.
Haven't seen clips of the in/out incident yet, I heard there was a push by Vardy before then though- so it shouldn't have stood anyway. That undeserved win Leicester got at Loftus Road looks so crucial now. If we win our game in hand we'd be 5 points behind...which would have been one point in front if we'd taken our chances at home. Small margins!
