    I haven't been on as much as I would have liked to be honest as I have been tied up with the Labour Parties leadership elections..

    Who are you backing (if you don't mind me asking)? I always thought Yvette Cooper would be the way to go.

    I'm slightly dismayed at the way the militant left have come out from under their stones to pay their £3 joining fee in order to vote for Corbyn along with the scores of Tories who have been running social media campaigns to do the same.. If they get their way then we are destined to face years more of this draconian government who are driving the disabled and the poor into the ground..

    Blair was spot on with his analysis of Corbyn. He will kill Labour in my view.

    I'll have it out with you then, there's no way Leicester are close to even with Sunderland. They have had 1 season in the Premier League and clearly aren't as big a club as us, in any areas!

    I'd side with you here 83.

    A lot of teams are capable of staying up for one season, it's building on it that makes you an established side.

    In terms of players, I'd probably go with your squad in most positions.

    Last time a trophy was won?

    Ambition levels of chairman?

    Comparison to last season?

    Sunderland are perennial relegation contenders who don't look like doing much else. While you may argue Leicester are the same, they did flirt with relegation last season (as you'd expect from a newly promoted team) but they resoundingly pulled away at the end. A player from the outside looking in will be more excited by joining Leicester (at the moment) than you.

    On the flip side, you have a bigger stadium, MORE trophies/history and Sunderland is nicer than Leicester however that isn't saying much.

    At the end of the day though, it really doesn't matter. Both teams will more than likely finish in the lower half of the table and the cycle will just repeat itself. Ranieri is definitely an interesting choice. Is he suited to Leicester? I don't know.

    So does that mean Newcastle are about the same as Leicester and Sunderland?

    I've made it clear I'm not saying Sunderland are a massive club or even anything special. It will take Leicester a good few seasons to get about par with Sunderland though, they've got no history whatsoever and have 1 season in the premier league to their name (this time round for them)
