    Sunday 1.30pm.

    Top of the table Leicester with Vardy,Mahrez and co.

    Read quite a few saying we could/will win one. Where does this confidence come from?

    Fully expect SA to pick the same team. Or do you see it differently?

    Can't see owt but a Leicester win tbh.
    He'll go not to lose & they'll nick one.
    Can't see him having any interest in trying to win this one.

    I watched them against Southampton yesterday. Extremely organised in defence, the midfield just never stopped running and the speed in which they counter attacked was frightening. That said, I am going for a win for us :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I think we've got a chance because we'll play the game in a way where they're not as effective. I.e. dropping deep leaving no space in behind.

    It'll be another 'stay in the game for 70 mins at 0-0 and have a go for 20' though.

    think we will nick it with a surprise 1-0.
    Just created a thread about Leicester if someone can merge it for me :emoticon-0111-blush

    Will Watmore be fit to come on as an impact sub? I expect Sam will play the defensive options.

    That will be the trouble they will drop deeper and deeper and let Leicester get on top, we blew our chance in the last 4 matches, and Larsson and Watmore need to come in, Cattermole offers very little, he had a great chance in the first half but fluffed his chance,and Borini is not doing it. PVA MUST go into midfield and Kabul to go into his defence position. All our last 4 home games are very tough, so 4 points at home and 5 away will not be enough unless we win at Norwich but we have lost every game there since 1985.

    Already done it, see "good read on Leicester City".
    Did ask if it could be merged but still out on its own.

    We always manage one of these once in a decade (and more) results, like Chelsea away three years ago and Man Utd away two years ago, so we do have a track record for getting unexpected results especially with our backs to the wall.

    Don't think we'll win it even if we tried to beat them which I don't think we will. Pressure off for this one in my mind based on this.

    If you could just let us win that would be most appreciated.

    But please, don't go down. Love Sunderland away (even though I can't make it next week :( )

    We can't do that mate. We're in a relegation battle so we'll set out for another home draw<doh> Low scoring game but we won't stop you scoring. 1-0 to you lot I reckon.

    :emoticon-0136-giggl Your lot will look 2 divisions lower Sunday
    This is a team that has one hand on the biggest prize in club football
    They will beat you convincingly, make no mistake
    Boro will be doing a Leicester next year.
    Get your money on it:emoticon-0148-yes:
