Hammo

Much of the football media nowadays - especially tv and radio - is populated by dimwit ex pros who not only speak garbled English but would appear to be actively encouraged by their editors to utter heavily-opinionated, unsubstantiated tosh so that they stir up anger and controversy on social media and phone-ins. That is the world we live in. The Clown Pundit (Savage, Merson, Kamara etc) is a sign of the times. If we all ignored them or mocked them as the talentless buffoons they are, rather than rising to the bait and encouraging them, their lifespan would be cut short. But we don't. Personally, when I want to read about or discuss Leicester City, I ignore the worthless views of 'outsiders' and come on here.

Mills hasn't got a chuffing clue, has he? Like so many pundits these days, he's a clown who spouts nonsense presented as opinion.

The sour gripes of Mourinho are an offence and an insult to anyone of a sound, rational, reasonable mind. The man is a cretin, plain and simple. He thinks he's so clever, so cool, but he just isn't. He's a cretin. A rich, successful cretin, but a cretin all the same.

There is real variation in our play now, which makes us unpredictable. That is a huge step up from where we were... although let's not forget, we did win the title playing absorb and counter football and not much else. During that season teams were arrogant and let us play that way thinking "it's only Leicester, we'll beat them" and they couldn't. The next season they got wise and stymied us, but we couldn't change our style under Claudio or Shakey and paid the price. Now, under Claude, we have moved on. Check out those possession stats v Newcastle!

You most certainly can

Alan Shearer, Sting, Jimmy Nail, Broon Ale, Geordie Dancer, Ross Noble, Peter Beardsley, Stotty Cakes, Cheryl and, most of all, Ant and bloody Dec... your boys took one hell of a beating!

The Premier League gets seven European slots - four in the Champions League and three in the Europa. The first two in the Europa go to the winners of the FA Cup and League Cup. If the winners of both those competitions finish in the top five (which often happens these days), then sixth and seventh place in the league get into the Europa. If one of the cups is won by a top-five team, sixth place gets a Europa slot. Additionally, if Arsenal win this season's Europa League, and don't finish in the top four, they get in the Champions League as a fifth participant (like Man U this season) but that would mean only two Europa entries (again, like this season). What it all boils down to is that we should aim for seventh (realistically our highest possible position) and hope for the best elsewhere. If it did give us Europa League football, we would enter in the third qualifying round so would need to win two ties (in August) to reach the group stage. Potentially, though, that would mean TEN away trips (count 'em!) if we went all the way to the final, the last of them in Baku, Azerbaijan! Worth fighting for, methinks. Dillyding, Dillydong...

Haven't read all the posts so not sure whether anyone has already mentioned it, but this is the first time since we won the title that the Premier League table shows us with more wins than defeats. Raise your glasses for M'sieur Puel!

These are the games we should win. And we did. Newcastle a pretty dreadful team. Nice to see us have a bit of luck for a change, it's been a while. That said, we were clearly the better team. Mahrez, Chilwell and Ndidi top notch. And Leo - loved the corner flag keep ball. Class!

Really good in possession but Vardy out of sorts. Need him to finish off these nice moves. Mahrez excellent again. Must be the hair dye.

Sloppy in possession. Crap defending

Excellent post. You did your research by watching the game again (did you punch the air in joy again when Hazard scored btw???) and cleared up this overblown nonsense with sound evidence. That's the way to do it. Bravo!

The result eclipses everything else. It always does. But that was tough viewing once again in the second half. We sat so deep that they were almost invited to pick their passes around our penalty area. Fortunately their poor finishing let us off the hook. Two majestic goals from us though. That's what wins games like these. A bit of individual quality. Our season has now sparked into life. Let's keep it going against Burnley.

Not the Champions League proper. They lost both legs of their 2005/06 qualifying tie to Villarreal (then immediately crashed out of the first round of the UEFA Cup after losing 5-1 to Dinamo Bucharest!). The furthest Moyes took Everton in Europe was the UEFA cup round of 16 (once, in 2007/08) - a feat matched by his successor Roberto Martinez (at the first attempt) in 2014/15 See what I mean about Moyes's "great job at Everton" requiring closer inspection.

Very true. We dodged a fatal bullet there. 'Absolute disaster' sums up Moyes perfectly. I'd add 'Complete fraud'. He also loves blowing his own trumpet ("I'm ready to return to the Premier League"; "I've had lots of other offers" etc etc) and blaming others for his failures. His "did a great job at Everton" reputation doesn't stand up to close inspection either (no trophies, no Champions League participation, dreadful record against the top clubs etc etc). As that female journalist discovered, he's a nasty piece of work too. Can't abide the man. I don't know what West Ham are thinking of, but I guess the rather humiliating six-month contract is a measure of Moyes's current brittle worth. I'd be surprised if he even sees that out.

Not looking good. We're 17th as I write. Relegation zone beckons if these results stay same and Bournemouth beat Chelsea later ☹️

And what a load of patronising old tosh it was. Not surprised that it was a Scouser - Thompson - who actually said that our owners "have ideas above their station". Can you imagine the foaming at the mouth on Merseyside that sort of comment would bring if it was directed at Thompson's club (who, let's not forget have never, unlike Leicester, won the Premier League)?

Surprise surprise. Ref fails to give obvious pen against big club at home. Arsehole Whinger would be having a fit if that had happened the other end.

The sort of frustrating, error-ridden, possession-conceding performance Mahrez produced today has sadly become almost the norm over the past few months and is evidently the reason why no big club was willing to stump up the 45-50 million we were allegedly asking for. At his best he is a wonderful asset, a joy to watch, but far far too often he is a liability to the team in the way that he effectively sets up opposition attacks by turning the ball over in dangerous areas. He's had a tough week, granted, but if he wants to take his career onwards and upwards, he needs to start playing well on a consistent basis. It's up to no one else but him.

He's no more than an average midfielder but he played superbly v Sheffield United, almost scored after coming on v Man United and according to the Sky co-commentator turned the game for Wales v Austria. Kingy is a man in form. Get him in against Chelsea.

Probably the dullest England XI in living memory. On paper and on grass.

Up to eighth. Get in!

We ARE above both of them ?

Pretty sure the cost for 'juveniles' (as the turnstile sign said) was 20p for the 'popular side' and 25p for the Kop when I first started going as a young kid in the 70s. So many happy memories of that wonderful place.

Cundy? Durham? I must live a cloistered life because I have never heard, or heard of, these people. It seems I'm the lucky one.
