    Does that mean that if Leicester played Iceland every week then Kane and Vardy wouldn't be top scorers in the league? :emoticon-0105-wink:

    They wouldn't score any because neither team would attack which means neither team could counter attack. So they'd both all just sit there in their own halves with the ball sat on the centre circle!

    Yup, Plus we all know Giroud scores in batches. He goes through periods where he plays well then disappears for weeks on end.

    Iceland have scored a fair few tbf against the likes of Holland, Portugal, England, Austria, Poland and Belgium among others just in the last year - they hardly just sit back and never attack, as England know only too well...

    I was joking. However, that doesn't disprove the theory that Iceland are a poor football team. Just like Greece were a poor football team in 2004. Winning a few matches doesn't mean you're a good football team.. especially when one of those teams is England!

    Giroud disappears completely when the team go through a bad patch like we do every season. Henry and then Van Persie in that season and a half, they would score goals out of nothing even when we were playing poorly

    Probably worth a visit to the Dipper board as they will be predicting a title win now.

    Watched that. Klopp is a good manager, I think he'll have Liverpool challenging this season.

    You think they'll be challenging this season? Yes Klopp is a top manager but their squad is some way off challenging. I think it'll be one of the Manchester clubs, then what do i know, Leicester won last season....

    Hard to say who will be challenging.

    Mourinho is unusual in the fact he tends to have an immediate impact.

    Hypothetically though.. Conte, Mourinho and Guardiola may all take a while to get going. We should be looking to start strong and gain an early points advantage. (Going to be tough with our current make-shift side)

    So you don't make them favourites for this year/season!
