This isn't a dig, just an observation. I sit in SK4 and don't remember hearing either of these in the second half.

I know. I think I've read probably every single one of them. It's getting to the point where it's actually irritating me a little when they tweet a new one.

Was waiting for this one to surface. Could see a good number of LCFC in the boxes to the right of us up there. A fair few stayed as long as we did as well, loving every second.

A post in here about our score line on Saturday being cheered at the Fulham/Derby game got me thinking about how it would feel observing this as a neutral and a supporter of another team... I've not really had chance to consider it before as I've been enveloped by the emotional madness our season has provided. So here's my attempt: Could you imagine if we were back in the Championship (hard, I know ). You've spent the first part of the season watching your team perform pretty inconsistently, winning a few and losing a few but never getting a real run together. As you would do, you've been watching MOTD, Super Sunday and the like to get your fix of top flight football. You see Leicester putting a nice little run together. It's nice for a while and you think "isn't this great, love it when a lesser team sets the pace early on". You buy into the media's idea that it will all fade away soon. Week by week passes and the results keep coming. "This is bloody brilliant" you think. Slowly you start looking for the Leicester result every week. You and your mates discuss it down the pub. "No they can't win it", "Not a chance". Now when you watch a Leicester TV game you and your mates are gunning for them. You're in the pub and every Leicester goal is cheered almost like your own team's. Then you head to your usual Saturday fixture, have a few drinks and don't really notice the lunchtime kick off. You're in your seat at around half two perhaps completely unaware of the final score and it comes across the PA system - "final score in the Premier League, Manchester City 1 Leicester City 3". The stadium cheers at the news. People around the stadium suddenly get a lot more chatty, you can tell there's a buzz about that result even though it's completely irrelevant to your league and team. There's an element of shock as well, shock that you now actually have to seriously consider "Leicester bloody City" for the title. When you think of it like that, looking at it from a neutral perspective (I may be wrong of course), it's no wonder the momentum is suddenly building around us and the media are starting to board the optimistic bus! For me it actually feels like the whole country is behind us. Stories from this thread, personal tales from people who are now the "celebrity" Leicester City fan around their area. And that willingness for us to win it I think will actually help. As one article I read spoke about pressure from the media it simply said something along the lines of "we won't be putting any pressure on them, we want them to win it". And to be fair I think he is right. Usually it's about how Man Utd or Man City might slip up, how Arsenal will bottle it as usual etc.... but now a team is up there who the majority want to win. There's no history of failure, expensively assembled squad or expectation to weigh us down. There's no reason for the media to get their knives out. It's a different kind of pressure and one that, in my opinion, resonates with what our team is about. People are enjoying our success to an extent they wouldn't if it were the usual suspects. They are enjoying the way our team plays. They are enjoying the togetherness and happiness of our squad. They are simply enjoying how much our players and our fans are enjoying football right now. I like that. I like that a lot.

What about his Brazilian cousin Willian??

Was about to post this on here. All sounds a bit too familiar doesn't it. I've read the first few pages and to summarise: "They hoof it long to Vardy" "Why don't they get any injuries?" "They're so lucky it's all going right for them" "They play kick and rush" "I've got a feeling we will put down a marker" "They were rubbish when we played them in December" "Mark Vardy and Mahrez out the game and we will be fine" "Leicester only have 2 weapons" Lots of them highlighting how massive a game it is for them though... Hope they end up feeling like other teams this season - perplexed at how plucky Leicester have done a job on them. No doubting it's going to be an extremely tough match though.

Possibly one of the best translates ever below... (although it is with Bing! translate) Awesome Vardy Brace to scream the Leicester runs R rolls out the Klopp and +3 remains on the City of Liverpool which surpasses l? Arsenal in second place Italian coach: "I'm more and more surprised, I have an extraordinary team» Saturday all? Etihad from Manchester is the second match of the Published in the edition of February 3, 2016Posted in LEICESTERCapita rarely in old England to see skip the press stand and applaud a player: seasonal records for Jamie Vardy is now too. The 1-0 at Liverpool belongs to the Gallery of masterpieces of football: a volley from 25 meters, putting the ball at the intersection of stakes. A gesture from star players, combining technique to naughty. Certain things happen more frequently on suburban courts or in the road where we always try because if you can the number, impress on friends, maybe on the girl that stares at you and then invite everyone in the bar. The great thing about Vardy is this: is a professional who has not forgotten his roots. He played among the amateurs until 2012 and certain habits if the door behind. When Mahrez invited the striker to shoot on the launch by forty meters, the thought was: but really will try to pull? Come on. Come on, my ass: Vardy kicked and when the net bulged jumped all over the stadium, Claudio Ranieri inclusive. Looked like a little boy, R. You have to understand this: look at the standings, Leicester first with 50 points, and you'll understand. REDS Also Klopp, German from his easy, pays homage to the center forward of Leicester: "his gesture made the difference. Vardy scored a beautiful goal. SIN has made against us. " Then Klopp has gone on the problems of Liverpool, a team that struggles to find continuity. The k.o. of Leicester is a step back, having cultivated a hope of getting back on course for the Champions. But if it is true that the goal of Vardy has given an electric shock to the match, it should not be forgotten that there was doubling, signed by Center forward, while, in the first half, Mahrez had touched the pole and Okazaki had hit the crossbar. RANIERI the moral is that Leicester has commanded the operations from start to finish, strameritando all three points. Ranieri's team is an accordion: opens and closes, playing good music. Everyone is running, all help one another, no primadonna. "I'm more and more surprised, I have an extraordinary team? the words of R?. Against Liverpool we were fantastic. The 1-0 was a masterpiece: incredible passing Mahrez, even more amazing shoot of Vardy ". On Saturday, Manchester City-Leicester, second against before because l? Arsenal has slowed with the Southampton and made himself surpass by Citizens: it is the match of the season.

Furthest I've seen us go was... well... I'm not going to mention it, still makes me sad. (I'm 22 btw if that helps you work out that game)

The bitterness is bound to emerge now from some fans. For some of the fans of the "top" or "big" clubs in this division it is becoming apparent we might actually do something special in this "shambles" of a division. Initially, they laughed at how well we were doing. Then, they gave us a pat on the head and told us "you're doing really well, we hope you've enjoyed your stay but you won't be here much longer". Now it's February and we are still top and still taking teams apart. Now, it's not so amusing for these "giants" of English football. Teams like Spurs, Everton, Liverpool etc..., who have been trying for years to break the top 4 at great expense are being shown up by a bunch of cast-offs. This generation of their fans have been brought up, with help of a sensationalist media, to expect their teams to win things almost by right, despite the fact we have won just as many recent trophies as they have (Liverpool and the Champs League omitted). To be honest, it must be horrible to expect so much every year and to fail to deliver consistently while the same old names take the Title, the Champions League and even the FA/League cups. It must be even worse to then see a "small" club overtake them within the space of a season (the second one after being promoted from the Championship). A decent chunk of their fans expect trophies and success even though many won't have seen much in their lifetime. For some reason history dictates that they should, right? So in all honesty the bitterness is understandable, with it being borne out of frustration, expectation and downright shock! It doesn't p*ss me off though. I've come to find it extremely entertaining and sometimes bring myself to pity the poor souls who get worked up over how we are top playing apparently defensive sh*t football. After all, that's what gets you 50 points and 44 goals in 24 games. The problem for them is they've only ever known getting into Europe or winning a trophy being classed as having a good season. They've not experienced relegation (several, and even to League One). They've not experienced administration. They've not experienced the La Manga incident, going double digits games without a win or Thai-gate. They've not gone to Portsmouth on a Friday night only to see their team get whacked 6-1. They've not seen their team lose two play-off semis in the cruellest of circumstances. They just don't understand what it's like to follow football where fortunes are so drastically different one season to the next. For those reasons, and more, a league title or even a Champions League place just wouldn't feel nearly half as good as it would for us Leicester City fans if we were to achieve it. We really appreciate the position we are in now because of years and years of cold days watching our team lose at places like Doncaster, Peterborough and Tranmere. Being top right now feels a million times better than it would for them. And for that I really do pity them. Now let's go all the way and make the impossible, possible!

I thought tonight was a fantastic atmosphere from the start. Came up well on MOTD as well! One of our better ones (and that's saying something)??

Yeah. Fcuk knows why you've got Kasparov as an autocorrect though!

I think you should check that one, mate.

Is he a Walsh signing now then?

I just think, like with the standard of football, we've set ourselves a pretty high standard and are disappointed when we don't quite reach it. Still thought the noise throughout the second half was great and we were right behind the lads. Not our best but far from our worst.

The view of a few Bournemouth fans - http://www.bournemouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=74024&posts=6

What struck me most about the Economist article is this about Kante: "when he touches the ball in the middle or back of the pitch, shots on the subsequent attack are 70% likelier to yield a goal than when he isn’t involved." Wow.

The Gillette Soccer Special pundits are now believing in the dream (sort of) All of them said they think we will get top 4.

One problem I have with the analysis saying we are fortunate is that we probably don't take many shots from outside the box. Neither do we seem to take many hopeful pot shots. Therefore, our shots are more likely to be when we have a better chance of scoring. Hence, the higher conversion rate.

Some of the comments about him being "big fish" in a small pond and him not being able to play as well for Manchester City because they don't get as much space! So ignorant. I could understand that for Vardy but they mustn't have watched Mahrez ghost past player after player all season. Absolute class. If the idiots want to be clueless and suggest just 'cos he plays for us he wouldn't be able to get in their team, so be it. I'd have him over Sterling absolutely any day of the week right now. The boy is going places.
