What a mint team Leicester are. Really hope they win the PL. They will at least get into the CL. Roy of the Rovers stuff. Will they win it?
I hope they win the league. They could easily have gone to £ity today and played out for a boring point with a fearful 'don't lose' attitude but they went out there and blasted them off the pitch. That game today typified their season and beat the February bottlers, I mean Arsenal, next, which I think they will, and they'll win it.
They have no european football to distract them, they have no cup football to tire their players. They're a team and don't seem to have anyone with a superstar ego, they play for each other. and pressure? Last season they had one of the hardest relegation fights in EPL history, every game was a must-win, and they didn't fold. Arsenal are spluttering (shock), Sheik Monsoon has rained on his own parade by sacking Pelligrini 3 months early but leaving him in position. I think their main threats are the spuds and United.
I don't think any of us are neutral, Minxy. Like most of us I want my team to win it. But, if they can't, then yeah, I hope Leicester do it.
I think you will find there are thousands of supporter out there who don't support a Premier League club who will be cheering Leicester on
If they win it it will be the single biggest achievement by a sports team ever. Cup wins? Anybody can win a cup, with the right draw and the right circumstances. A 38 game premier league with teams working with budgets in the hundreds of millions? An achievement of seismic proportions. Unfortunately, I am still 99% certain they wont. If Liverpool of 2014, with the most in form player in the world, couldnt go the distance, I simply do not see how Leicester can. They will very soon become the team to beat, and the weight of expectation will multiply by 100. Can they handle the pressure? There is no title winning experience in there, nobody who has gone the distance, in coaching or players. Like I said - it would be the single biggest achievement from a team ever. And it would be the best thing that could ever happen to English football. But this isnt the movies. I am, sadly, still convinced that whether its in March, April or the last game, it will happen Manager of the season? give it to him now! Team of the season? No contest, give it to them now! Champions? Would absolutely love to be proved wrong........ but not for me.
Starting to actually believe this is going to be a shoot-out between the Foxes and the Spuds. Leicester winning the league would be ****ing brilliant stuff, they show no fear at all. If they can get a win against the hapless Goonies they are going to do it..
Love your optimism But - and I hate to say it - there will still be a third of the season to go. As long as City are within punching distance, I still make them favourites. They have premier league title winning experience - something which cannot be undervalued when you get to April and every match is a cup final.
I can't agree. What I've said before was confirmed for me yesterday. Their defense is old, slow, and tired looking. That's not the first time they've been taken apart by a fast attack. Aguero, Silva, Hart are papering the cracks to an extent, but for my money if Leicester don't win it, it will be us or the goons.
I honestly think the Spuds will finish runners up. Both Leicester and Spuds have the momentum now. Arsenal bottle it... Man Utd are up and down... Citeh have shot themselves in the foot announcing Pep early and Chelsea are nowhere. Like Ranieri said.. there's NO pressure at all on him or his team.. same for Spuds really... no it's all on the other 3 teams.
I joke but I do honestly believe that Arsenal are a sleeping giant, the only thing holding them back is their manager, a man that at least half their fan base is terrified of losing because they are afraid of change.
