    Don't get me wrong, we have something daft like Liverpool, Spurs, United and Chelsea away beforehand but yeah, it's a favourable draw for us.

    I think that out of those 6 home games we 'only' play Man City out of sides that finished in the top half last season.

    Yep, they go for you they go against you. The only thing you can do is try to win regardless of refs decisions.

    That tackle on Rooney was definitely a pen. Ref was momentarily blind ;)

    Like I said, the best way is to do the job yourself regardless of the ref. We could have had a draw if Ibra hadn't waved his foot at the ball in front of an open goal (making a great pass to their defender on the line) :(.

    by then Rooney could have been sent off for a wild kick out (so crap these days he missed the player ) and constant fouling <whistle>

    Leicester fans need to be very #worried there's nothing to their team now

    The combination of losing a key player plus no longer having the element of surprise has killed their attack

    There's nothing to them now; didn't turn up against Man Utd, beat relegation candidates Swansea but thrashed by Hull and nothing against a very poor Arsenal

    With a busy schedule top 10 will be a good season for them, and their main aim should be to not beat Chelsea's record for worst title defense ever

    Today we were totally robbed by the ref, plus gifted them a goal.

    If we make a habit of scoring 4 per game we'll be okay though.

    Not many teams are as accommodating as that Leicester team were today :emoticon-0100-smile

    (you really need to read the rules of the game, it may help you realise why refs make decisions you don't understand sometimes <ok>)

    Actually the industry of their player put your CB under pressure whereby he lost control of the ball, he then tried to make a pass to the RB whilst stretching, this caused him to under hit the pass and another industrious player nipped in to score.
    All forced by Leicester players, no gift <ok> :emoticon-0100-smile

    With respect to the debate on leicester.

    They went from promotion to relegation favorites to surviving to top of the table.

    Nobody knows where their "level" really is. Theyve bought a good few players so how that merges into a team and how the ild gaurd adapt and also... how all these fat and happy players on new contracts for big money react to being on the gravy train will be interesting.

    Anything could happen.. i dont know how anyone can really predict.

    Thier illegal encroachment so shocked lucas that he made an error would be more accruate.

    It was a goal kick that their player illegally encroached into the box on before the ball left the box. Shockingly poor refereeing was what lucas was thinking.

    But Lucas touched it first, why would he expect the ref to intervene on his behalf :emoticon-0100-smile

    Thats irrelevant. The moment of encroachment is where the foul was and any sane player would have fallen over in shoxk at that level of official inconpetance.

    This is the same ref that missed two assaults on our keeper and waved off a hack at another of our players. Ignored a barge in the back of firmino but waved needless cards atvplayers for hardly anything.

    What part of the encroachment rule regarding goal kicks are you struggling with?

    It is Astro isn't it, come on admit it now :grin:

    (when your keeper ploughs through two of his own defenders and manages to collide with a player attempting to head the ball assault can only be called one way, accident is what most people call it though <ok>)

    The bit where Lucas collected the ball then expected the ref to dig him out <ok>

    By applying the rules? This is like when Bruce said the referee would have had to have been a 'Saddo' to have known the rules to disallow the beachball goal against Sunderland.

    Having won the title, their level isn't fighting relegation is it? I'd even say it isn't bottom half either! Anything but top half will be a failure but nobody expects the to win the league again, not many expect them to challenge for the top four. I'd say anywhere between sixth and tenth is expected.
