    You are so close that I almost hate to tweak <laugh> ... but what I'm actually trying to convey, in a nutshell (and that would be a Filbert of course) ... is ........Leicester City! ... unquestionably THE entertainers of the EPL ... come and enjoy the adrenalin rush ... start to enjoy watching the beautiful game again ... next tour date this weekend at The Mike Ashley's Neglect OF Footballing Principles Arena just outside Gateshead ...

    Entertainment? How is that entertainment. You shoot at goal and it goes in. None of the suspense and drama that Liverpool gives.

    We shoot and you never know: goal or row Z? You can't be sure. Now that's entertainment.

    You may have a point ... but only if the player shouts out the seat number in row z before shooting ... otherwise it may well descend into a turgid debate (that might just run for pages), on, specifically :

    a) whether that player actually possesses the required technique to execute the attempt
    b) whether he was actually meaning to do it in the first place
    c) why the fans of one North London club are considerably less well endowed than another ... or something similar..

    Have United really had as many as 123 shots? I'd have guessed about 4 going on the games I've seen.

    Well done, that's your place in Europe sorted and a new addition to the trophy cabinet a third of the way into the season. Wait... hang on <whistle>

    Hard to believe Arsenal only have 22 goals with such world class talent supplying the strikers.

    ...If you also include the last third of last season it gets even more impressive ... remember the days pre-season and all those predicting that we couldn't possibly continue such form, ... where are they now? ... oh wait! :)

    Why not, let's merge seasons in order celebrate irrelevant facts of nothing. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    No not like that at all, not in the slightest. <laugh>

    Ok, give me a consecutive Leicester stat which runs across seasons. See if you can work out what 'consecutive' and 'record' means and how it's applied. <laugh><doh>

    Poorest comparison in order to make a point I've read in a long time. <laugh>

    ... Just for you then :) we hold the record (jointly with Man City) for winning second tier titles .. partly because we are rarely in the top tier for consecutive seasons ... now prostrate yourself at the altar of my wit :)

    No, I meant from the end of last season going into this season(it was your stipulation<doh>), obviously, as that's what you were harping on about. You compared it, without detail, to a consecutive goal scoring record. I'd like the detail to see if your point is remotely valid. <doh> It's called adding substance to the ****e you're talking <ok>

    .
    go back and read your stipulation again ... what you might of meant and what you wrote are not the same.. you did not specify which season and I therefore provided that which you requested ...no need to get up now :)

    Anything above 7.1% is trying too hard.

    It was your stipulation you wally.


    Then you go off your own point. <doh>


    Sorry I didn't remind you to stick to you own point. Silly me was stupid enough to think you had the intelligence to remember what you on about. <laugh>

    What a Tard. Tards are hard work. I'm off to watch SAS, see if you've worked out what you were on about when I get back <ok>;)
