    If Vardy Mahrez and Kante leave they've lost the linchpin of the team and most of their goals. They'll finish bottom half I reckon.

    They'll go out in the groups of CL and they'll hope they don't finish 3rd in the group and get lumped with the Europa league

    Think Ranieri may feel like Paddington bear looking for his lost marmalade sandwiches this season.

    Lester Piggott.

    Next season will be tough for him.

    117 years old, dead horse... don't fancy his chances.

    Rupert the bear was in the Bay City Rollers with his checked trousers. 70's glam rock sucks.

    I think they will be okay next year. Even if a couple of their big players leave they will still do okay.
    My only thought on the subject is if they have an injury free season like they did this year, that helped them massively.
    Going for Leics to just miss out on a euro place next year.

    I was thinking just after I posted that its too early. I didn't think they were due out for another couple of weeks.

    I thought that was Bear Grylls?

    Did he climb the local Tesco in Grantham and hurt his back? He slipped on a jar of mango chutney.

    Lower mid table - said this before. It's easier to play when all you have is one competition and no injuries. They'll suffer this season with or without Vardy I reckon.

    11th or 12th at best and I reckon we won't be far behind them

    I'm not saying its a bad thing. It shows that they had the togetherness and confidence to keep winning. But it could be an indicator that they were finding it tougher and having to dig deeper because teams were finding ways to deal with them.

    They wouldn't have beaten us had Pickford been in goal - VCardy was 2 yards inside our box before he got on the end of the pass from Drinkwater - it was keepers ball easily and Kaboul's face showed that! Mannone could've and should've had it (only thing he did wrong in the game TBH but it cost us the game!). TYhe ball from Drinkwater was something they'd tried 20 times in the game and it didn;t work. Had the keeper got that one as he =should then they'd have effectively been flogging a dead horse!

    Hop[e Pickford is number one next season - his distribution is as good as De Gea's!

    Top half I'd have thought.BIM waiting for carry to get found out l, really don't see him being a huge loss.

    ****ing hell, that's some statement... you're talking about the best goalkeeper in the world there pal.

    He will have to be something special to live up to all this hype you lot are throwing on him.

    I've only seen him a few times mate but I honestly think it is from what I've seen! Unbelievable. We need to keep him signed on - I wouldn;t say he's as good a goalkeeper all around as De Gea but I watched him put the ball in a 3 square inch target without missing once when he's played. Like I say - he's only played a handful of times so I'm probably giving more credit than may be due but just from the few times I've seen him play it looks like such amazing distribution! Obviously compared to Pantillimon I would probably have better distribution (will find out on Saturday when I play at the Stadium of Light!) and we haven;t exactly been blessed with great distribution for a lot of years
