Today's Football 2015 / 16

[Professor Toffee]

Just noticed Sterling has been playing.

He's been standing not playing!

 

[Fearthainn]

No real surprise they're well organised at the back - got an Italian manager and in footballing terms, the Italians are past masters of defence.

To be fair this run has started 9-10 games before the end of last season, obviously Ranieri is doing an incredible job but not sure he can be given all the credit.

 

[bring the ghost on]

After 24 games last season Leicester were bottom on 17 pts.

This is why it is remarkable, and we should enjoy it.

 

[PhilM]

I hope Leicester win the league it will break the big four monopoly , and make our fans realise you can win it!

I was chatting with a typical Red the other week who was spouting that he'd rather Citeh win the league rather than Leicester. I was perplexed...

He said it was farcical that a team who has spent so little financial clout compared to the likes of Chelsea, Citeh and Manure should win the league.

I therefore asked him if that meant that Liverpool should never win it as they're not on par? He had no response but typical rants and raves.

It upsets me that Leicester have performed so well in such an open season while we have not, however it does give hope in the long term.

 

[tsubaki]

Not quite sure about that mate

Suarez dragged Liverpool into that title race. Vardy and Mahrez have dragged Leicester into this one, which is more of an achievement.

I can't because I see it as bad for Everton.

What mate?

@AussieToffee
Wasn't suggesting that Ranieri is a defensive mastermind, just remarking that when it comes to organising defences, Italians are generally amongst the best.

 

[quasi modo]

Offside? No....Oh I forgot this is Man city rules.

You mustn't forget the role that refs played that season in giving the RS penalties for nothing.

A justifiable argument to be fair. As good? I'm not sure as Surez was sublime in his play. As influential? Certainly so, if not more.

There's clearly a few on here that would agree with his philosophy

State of the empty seats in the Etihad. Spoilt brat fans.

We arent Leicester fans.

Pearson would never have got them this far.

It doesn't give me hope long term if I'm being honest.

If only Leicester City can grab the league by the scruff in the most open leagues in decades...how could we or anyone else do the same down the line?
