Leicester are a joy to watch - fullof the confidence that success brings. Newcastle are still in it, but they have a lot to do now.
Leicester so quick to close down, pressing, giving the oppo no time on the ball.
Something every single team in the land could do given the right training and instructions.
You may not have the fancy skills / mazy runs - but you can stop your opponents using theirs <ok>
 
Strangely Leicester became much more tentative in the second half and almost let Newcastle back into it. Good result at 1-0, but only just!
The lad Kanté is like having two good Alex Tetteys in your team at the same time.
I know Mahrez is, or will be a candidate for POTS but imho, Kanté is not far behind.
( And Payet, for Wet Sham, but tonight is not about them <ok>)
 
So so relieved when I got in last night, and saw that Leicester got the win. Had such a strong feeling for a 1-0 Newcastle.

Also, I see Watford or Palace will be in the FA Cup Final! Fantastic. I think I hope it's Watford. A joy to watch at times this season, and I saw their game against Arsenal and they were brilliant. Totally Outplayed and subdued Arsenal at their own place. Great effort.

Indeed, let's hope that they become distracted by the cup and forget to turn up at CR.
 
Hi bors, if I was vexed I would be irritated; dumb I would be speechless. I would opt for "unachieved" because we have not set out to achieve our main object : to be in a position of safety already for next season.
 
I was really keen for Lennon to come here back then.

Just shows how wrong you can be, and why i never moan about what we have.
