Leicester are not winning that league at the moment because they're lucky or flukey, they're winning it because the entire team from the goalie to the strikers are playing bloody well as a team. This all started last season, but naturally people just talk about them being lucky, or grateful to survive. The clues were all there, but for some reason people can't see past the big bucks spent by the so called top teams, with their best in the world managers and players and owners who are just playing fantasy football for the giggles. They might not have any "big" names, a Messi, or a Ronaldo, or even a Rooney, what they do have is a group of players who believe in their abilities and who are playing to that. Strength in depth without any galacticos, just hard working footballers. Even Vardy being out didn't halt them. Think about certain "big" teams, and how the loss of one player like this ****s them up. Its bloody great to see. That volley summed them up for me. Unexpected, unlikely but an absolutely cracking goal that took everyone by surprise, but it shouldn't have. The foxes winning the PL with Spurs second and the Hammers in the mix would be just ****ing super. I really hope Leicester can keep that team together, with only minor tweaks for next season, as I hope the Champions League will also get a rude ****ing awakening too.
I should add that despite my glowing review of Leicester above, I still think AK Cock Gobbler is a twat.
This "most successful team of the past calendar year" thing has become one of the great urban myths. They're not - Arsenal and Man City have both racked up more points. There's a chance Leicester might top that "running calendar year" table by the end of March, given that between this day in 2015 and the end of March 2015 they played six games and got only two points. But they haven't yet.
Amazing that most of that is Ulloa and Okazaki. You're forgetting that CM/CB they signed as well, forget his name.
I really really hope they do it. As others have said it would be, for me, the biggest achievement of any club in the modern era. Blackburn was a totally different kettle of fish to me and more akin to what Man City have achieve by out spending everyone else. (Well sort of - Suttons and Shearers goals that season we obviously massive). You might argue that Forrest winning the title in '77 straight after gain promotion the year before but for me that was a different age when perhaps money didn't play such a big part in things.
Could not agree more. Back in the day I always enjoyed games at Filbert Street in the days of Keith Weller - Alan Birchenall - Frank Worthington et al. However cream always rises to the top and I expect Manchester City to put the Foxes in there rightful place. However, IF Leicester were to get something from the game then the dream is on looking at what the Foxes have left. On paper at least.
Game, rather than games, we only ever played one cup game at Filbert Street while those players were there. And, if you're younger than me (as you claim), then you were eight years old (or younger) when it was played.
Hull City were not the only team I saw at Filbert Street. My first ever boss at the time new David Nish the Foxes full back if that helps with your confusion. If you are younger than me then you don't look it. nb. Filbert Street closed in 2002 btw.
You had a boss when you were eight? What were you, a chimney sweep? I'm not confused, the players you mentioned played in the 70's, they'd all left by 77/78.
Lol. and no I was not eight. The first time I went to Filbert street was against Hull City in 0 - 0 draw back in February 1971. btw.
It's just banter, I'd never dare confront Bummers, he can end peoples careers with a single phone call you know. You have been warned.
