Well apparently, Rudd had a good game. Let's not get too despondent - look where Leicester were at the beginning of this year and look where they are now!!!!
It is astonishing to say the least. I am still struggling to believe they will be anywhere near the top in May but if they do end up as a top 4 team that kind of blows the theory that "small" teams cannot compete with the "big boys" anymore, right out of the water.
I tend to agree, but I wouldn't be surprised if they finish the season in the top 6 at least and so gives hope for us all. Mind you, for us to compete anywhere near there, we would need wealthy owners and I don't see that happening any time soon!!!!
You say that, but Mahrez cost them £500k. What I wouldn't give for us to make a signing like that in January!
Yes and remind me how much Vardi cost too ? Yet another thing that irks me about our club is our scouting system or lack of it.
I don't think our scouting system has ever been much good other than in the late 80's. Since that time, until perhaps 4 years ago, we have quite heavily depended on youth team players coming through but that seems to have dried up with the odd exception. If we go down, I want to see the likes of the twins and Loza given a real run to prove their worth.
So what with him and Vardy, they bought two excellent players for less than £1M. Yes, unless our scouting system improves dramatically, we are going to have to wait until our Academy unearths a gem!!!!

Stoke were incredible yesterday. I really like the the look of them this season. Arnautovic, Shaqiri, Butland, Bojan. They look fantastic this season.
I see Bournemouth's goal was not only against the run of play, but offside.....After last weeks P*sstake, of an 98th minute goal in 5 minutes of added time, now that!
My problem is, every time I think of Stoke, I automatically want them to fail - which is purely a throwback to the horrible Pulis era. As you say, FML, they've moved on from that. Having said that, I loathe Mark Hughes for the way he shat on Fulham as soon as QPHa came knocking. But credit to him - and them, for their current top half position and useful haul of 22 points so far
Their football is just really gripping to watch now. The players I mentioned, plus Afellay I like, Van Ginkle came on, and he's exciting. It's about time those Stoke fans got some decent football.
Jesus Christ....Just seen Tetty mind fart for the Pen.....What a tit. No concentration, an error, looked really sluggish chasing, then dived in and was never gonna get the ball. Just awful from start to finish.
