Burmesefox Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Swansea and Southampton were still aiming for Europe and we comfortably beat them. Its not fair to dismiss them wins tbh. I'm not - that is what I am pointing out - the only top 10 sides we played in the final push were Chelsea, Soton, and the swans.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Probably the best side since the sixties, and has the potential to become as good, in a few seasons. We have to retain consistency, and keep the nucleus of the squad intact, as best we can. The signs look good though.
Burmesefox Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 It is rather annoying. Almost like you have an attention disorder. technically italics is not a font style but a slanted variation of any font to demonstrate and distinguish particular words within a text from the remainder of that text.
yorkie1999 Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Our current style of play will guarantee results. We just need to stop giving away silly goals like Saturday. Once again we've seen how you get punished at this level for a lapse in concentration which Schlupp clearly had. Which was a pity as I thought he had a decent game apart from that error. What is our current style of play though, we were playing 3 Cm's with wing backs, attacking non stop and always looked like winning. The last 2 games though we've gone to 4 at the back and in the last one stuck 10 men behind the ball, at home to a spurs team that have failed to register a win this season. I know its a pointless thing to say, but if it wasn't for a brilliant bit of individual skill we'd have lost on Saturday.

I know its a pointless thing to say, but if it wasn't for a brilliant bit of individual skill we'd have lost on Saturday. I was a bit disappointed with our performance but I put it down to Spurs deliberately playing keep ball and our refusal to blindly chase the ball in the heat. The Bournemouth game will be much more high tempo from us whether its 3 at the back or 4 at the back. Bournemouth are similar to us but we should have too much firepower.
fuchsntf Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Last game of the season title decider!!! Ok it won't be, going way over the top but i'll just keep on dreaming. At last, I am not alone...A fan who dares to dream.Thats the true spirit of being a true blue fan. "He who dares, Rodney...He who dares"!!! So what if it goes pearshape, we pick ourselves up brush ourselves down, and enjoy the next few games unbeaten. Like S.Broads 8 for 15, sport is about the dreams blowing one away, and not the dreams being blown away. We just might have an whole season , where our style and pace carry on suprising people. Keep Vardy quiet, you have Mahrez on your case, close both down you have Albrighton and Okazaki to contend with. Let the other teams worry about us, dont set up to quieten the opposition players. We get 1-2 midfielders also putting the ball away, theres suprise-factor points up for grabs. 'All you have to do is dreeeeam, dream dream dream'
Floridafox Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Its a good question. There was a certainly a point under O'Neill when Lennon, Izzett, Guppy, Elliot, Heskey began to click and you knew then we'd arrived, that worrying about relegation battles was a thing of the past. From then on you couldn't wipe the smile off our faces as we won League Cups and comfortably secured top 10 finishes. We're on the verge of that again with Mahrez, Albrighton, Vardy, Schlupp, (ably supported by seasoned pros like Huth and Inler). It'll be about Feb/March when we can say that point has arrived for this current Leicester...then again it could even be earlier!
big stodge Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 I don't think anyone is getting carried away, but there must other teams, players and supporters, who must be thinking "You know what,these ain't half bad"
mozartfox Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Given the Italian obsession on defending and keeping clean sheets, I can only assume that CR still has surgery to do on our defensive unit. The RB situation needs sorting and the lack of pace at center-back is not ideal. If these issues can be resolved, it will obviously make us stronger defensively and this will be 'the point' at which we can relax a bit, in the knowledge we should, in theory be free of any relegation dog-fight this time around, similar to say Clubs like Swansea/Stoke/Everton.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 I'm confident with the current squad and signings we've made over the summer to finish 13th which is my prediction, we've strengthened and complemented an already good group of players.
adam95581 Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Your on a football forum and concerned by what font style I post in? Jesus! It is really annoying
Fox Ulike Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Just enjoy the now. Football is all about the moments, and being top of the Premiership on Saturday was a pretty cool moment that we should all enjoy. Yes, we are looking pretty good at the moment but these things won’t last forever. The moment we start to think that we are ‘that damn good’ is the moment we will falter. It’s always the clubs that get complacent that struggle – Newcastle very nearly proved another example of this last year. Swansea and Stoke are not 100% free from relegation worries, and never will be. There are too many factors outside the control of clubs like ours to make us ‘safe’: Injuries, lack of form, players off-field antics etc etc.
Carl the Llama Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Last game of the season title decider!!! Ok it won't be, going way over the top but i'll just keep on dreaming. Yeah Man City will have dropped off long before then.
Carl the Llama Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 It is really annoying Tbf yeah I find it a bit pretentious when someone thinks they're too good for the standard size 14 Arial.
Richard Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 West Ham were 4th a Christmas, now look at them. Things can change very quickly
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Can't beat mixing it up sometimes
shailen Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Anyone remember the first five games of last year. It's far too early to conclude anything
fuchsntf Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 West Ham were 4th a Christmas, now look at them. Things can change very quickly But they had a great ride, that was a good season for the Hammers. Probably dropped a few more points than they deserved.If city produced such a season, I wouldnt be so disappointed. 12th in their 3rd season with an exciting 16 game run. We would take that...no relegation fears!!! Maybe a 3-4% improvement then we could be 8th. Lets not use the Hammers has a poor comparison.Plus this season they will find their level, and it wont be bottom 4. I am not a Hammers fan by a long way, but give credit where credit is due, for any 'also ran' clubs like them and ourselves..

I personally think they'll struggle this season, Allardyce was very harshly treated in my opinion and Bilic hasn't done it for yet, obviously still early days.
5waller5 Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Lets see where we are in Feb, we'd have played every side and begun to play sides once more. At the minute we know what the first XI can do, we've no idea how well the squad can perform and we're still enjoying the bump from last seasons incredible run. This is what fills me with even more excitement ..... I don't think we are playing our first 11. I think we are being fair to the players that have taken their chance in the team, but eventually will make way for the first 11 .... With Kante and Inler in the team I think we'll be even stronger and that's massive cause for excitement!!
danny. Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 technically italics is not a font style but a slanted variation of any font to demonstrate and distinguish particular words within a text from the remainder of that text. If you are going to get technical, he actually wrote in oblique, not italic (which is a hand-written version of a typeface) and oblique versions of typefaces can considered a font in themselves (i.e. Helvetica Oblique). Although in this case, it looks to be a computer simulated version of non-oblique font, so is an approximated font style, and not a font. I'll get my coat.
