Match Day Thread Leicester City v The Cup Holders

Southampton away was an easy game, theres a theme here...

 

As long as Dennis waterman doesn’t rise up to sing the tune I’m relaxed.

 

Was Luton last season?

 

Last season is irrelevant.

 

We have the same team

 

Why? The point is there is always the potential to lose to a Premier league side. I can guarantee you didn't think we'd lose to Luton.

 

I only remembered him,should win

 

Unless, in your eyes, if you're Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Brighton, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Manchester City

 

Because these three promoted teams are even worse than Luton.

 

Did you think we'd lose to Luton?

 

I can't remember.

 

There's always potential to lose to a non-premier league side as well - ie when Forest put us out the league cup when they were in the championship, when we played Stevenage under Pardew etc

The point is our team is massively better than Leicester's and anything other than a win is a disappointment. We would have to play extremely badly to lose to Leicester....it wouldn't be Leicester playing brilliantly cos they don't do that.

"No easy games in the Premier league" is a standard cliche, but the gulf in quality better the best and worse sides is huge this year.

 

Did you think we'd lose to West ham?

 

Real Newcastle fans think we'll lose most games

 

The gulf in quality isn't as wide as people think. Its elite level sport and the margins are actually small.

If you don't play well and the other team does you'll get beat..

 

Real Newcastle hmmmm think I prefer Newcastle Madrid.

 

We lost a game many said we'd easily win vs West ham.

Newcastle are favourites but nothing more tonight! They have to perform.

 

West Ham are better than Leicester, that isn't a comparison.
