Riyad Mahrez

That could very well be it, before this season Vardy had a ratio of something close to 1 in 4. I'm not going to shoot my load over him when he's going through the best form of his career. If he's still scoring goals as consistently at this time next year, then I'll start giving him a bit more credit.

Thank **** for that

You'd never get that close anyway

See I argued with Smug and a few others that it's not impossible for you lot to challenge for the title.

Right now, Leicester are proving my point for me and nobody can deny that with the right people on and off the pitch, Terry is the ****ing King of the world.

You can be a pessimist and say it's impossible or you can do what Leics are doing and have a go.

The monopoly has been smashed to pieces this season. Everybody is waiting for 'order to be restored' I'm not sure it will.

To a lesser degree mate we have seen it happen with Atletico in Spain, they won the league with 20% of Barca and Reals budgets, that success allowed them to double their budget but in reality they are still worlds apart.

Facts are Simeone went for the 'run through walls' route with little pinches of class, and then increased the overall quality despite losing a few.

Leicester could, with the owners backing, follow a similar model from where they are right now.

Walsh also 'strongly advised' Ranieri to secure the deal for N'Golo Kante at the beginning of the season ... for me the best addition to the Prem this season (I'll admit to some bias - but he has been just as key as Vards or Mahrez to our success)

He was excellent last night. Really impressed by him as hadn't heard much about him before. Ran all night long, covering every blade of grass across the pitch.

Nice to se our players getting recognition outside of our own board - for those interested a couple of great articles on the lad

We got him for a daft price - around £350k and he was spotted by Steve Walsh our Chief scout who initially had gone out to look at Le Harvre's other winger, Ryan Mendez, who is now at Forest.. (think we dodged a bullet on that one )

Walsh is now apparently subject of a poaching move by Arsenal - perhaps unsurprisingly

As to how good Mahrez is? - I've been watching Leicester City since the 1969/70 season and he is, IMHO, the most naturally gifted footballer I've seen at the club ..

Walsh is a Mr Leicester ain't he? I should imagine he'll stick around.

Wasn't he a CB who converted and started banging them in for fun? Or am I mixing up here?

.. he's worth the admission money on his own .. fast getting the reputation as the best 'dribbler' in the Prem ...treat yourself to his 'skills' video on YouTube... one clip against Villa this season stands out .. I kid you not ...he puts 3 of them on their arses at the same time with one change of direction. ...

The way I see it is Leicester under Holloway were relegated into the abyss of league 1 in 2008, just like we were in 1986..

What they have achieved in re-building that club is pretty sensational and they will always have my best wishes. Not many fans hang around to applaud the opposition fans like they did in 2005 when MicMac brought us back up. Will never forget that day, so I will happily stand by and applaud them on their success..

I went to University in Leicester from 2000-2004 and have fond memories of Filbert Street and the opening of the Walkers Bowl (as it was then if memory serves me correctly). They had a good team back then and I even got to see the world champions Brazil play live in their stadium (they won a friendly against Jamaica there with all the big name players from the 2002 World Cup turning out). I genuinely hope they win the league or finish in the top 4, I just don't think it will happen, not by a long shot.
