    I had them down before the season started mate, one game isn't going to change my opinion. Don't rate Ranieri in the slightest.

    I agree regards ranieri but just think they have good momentum, scored goals in pre season, have speed and think they are reasonably strong at home, suppose they are in there but think they will be ok, there lie the tragedy. Never mind matching the swanseas and southamptons.

    IM middle ground i guess. but the poll wasnt the fairest of polls, it was either ****e or not.
    Everyone we have bought so far makes us a better team, but we still will be fighting around the bottom all season.

    Hopefully giach starts getting a game or we get some more creativity.

    Well done
    Well done Dick Dastardly but opinions become wilder with more scope of change possible. As I said 3 of 8, but at 5pm today it could be 3 of 6 or 3 of 10. The end of the window shuts off more uncertainty and reduces the odds of changes and also gives a few games to judge on.

    The defence is all over the place, Dick will have to chop and change every week I reckon, but at the back is more worrying to me. Man c for the title WBA, Norwich, and Watford for the drop. No way will Leicester gan down.

    Ranieri is a looper like and if they go down it will be down to him. For me they will have too much pace for a few teams. Them and crystal palace could probably run a decent 4 x 100 time haha

    I am happy so far, Lens, Mvilla, Kaboul, Mathews are good signings. We have time to make a couple more, if we get Borini and someone like Januzaj (it looks unlikely to be him) I think we will be moving in the right direction.

    Its not just about signing players, its about how we play, having 3 up front like at the end of last season and pace in the side is encouraging.

    I still think we are mad not to break the bank for Austin, it would make a massive difference. A goal scorer always does, SKP, Quinn and Bent have made the biggest difference to our club in recent history.
