Spudulike Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 It's days like this where Veretout sits in a darkened room questioning his own judgement. Funny how things work out. If he had've signed for us then Drinkwater might not have got the flying start.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Funny how things work out. If he had've signed for us then Drinkwater might not have got the flying start. I don't know Inler can't get in front of drinkwater at the moment
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Another magnificent victory. Buzzing for Vardy equaling the record of 10/10. A great win for not only the team's confidence, but also for our three strikers getting on the scoresheet. Danny Simpson has stepped up superbly since being in the team. Ranieri's tactics and subs proven spot on once again today. Top of the BPL, what a Saturday.
Corky Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Two years ago this weekend we weren't even top of the Championship (managed it the week after). Just sensational.
ForzaFerrari Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 If Man City loses or draws...Am I daydreaming?
Vacamion Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Vardy gets the headlines but Kante was exceptional. What a signing. At this rate we will struggle to hold on to our better players in the window, because the bigger clubs are going to throw money at us. What times. Those of us who endured the dark days should lap this up.
Thracian Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Accomplished performance particularly considering we've not had the best record in Newcastle over recent seasons. Records tumbling for fun, such an excellent all round performance the home fans went home, welcome goals for supporting players like Ulloa and Shinji, Vardy's goal leaves him in seventh heaven, Simpson seen in the attacking half and even making a goal, Kasper dominating hi s area, our second defensive clean sheet and Mahrez moving to 13 goals/assists for the season. Superlatives are so well deserved and our achivement in going top is nothing more than the team deserves. Danny Mills' graceless comment that Vardy's just in form and has been lucky is an insult. A lot of centre-forwards wouldn't even have been playing with the injuries he's had and he could so easily have taken time out today with another knock or strain. But there he was with a thumbs up to the bench ready and willing to create more havoc. As for Drinkwater I'm alongside everyone else in supporting him getting a call-up for england cos anyone who can pass the ball 20 times a game more than today's MoM Kante - and keep the consistently reliable Kingy on the bench - is some player and showing himself as keen to keep on improving as Vardy. I didn't want to shout too loud but did quite fancy us for a clean sheet today and it only emphasised what a consistently improved area of our play of late with even one of the few goals we have conceded being a penalty for clumsiness rather than because we were taken apart in the box. I've not mentioned Ranieri but he's surely conducting the best all round team we've had in the 60 years I've been watching and getting the very most out of everyone as our league placing emphasises. Most important is that he always plays with balance and doesn't have any noticeable inclination to pick players cos they shouldn't be sitting the game out. He picks the team to compliment one another and win the game. I doubt it will be mentioned much but our closing down in the first half was exceptional. We were first to almost everything, everywhere and always with bravery and determination. Newcastle knew very early on they were up against it and someone mentioned what a long time it is since we conceded a two goal lead.. It's such a great and proud time to be a Leicester fan. Top of the league! Now let's show we belong there.
Brooksy Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Can't believe how good we are. We could actually get in Europe
J.Lisemore Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 He is useless Kante ten times better From what I've seen of that Veretout, he'd struggle to get in most Championship sides. Constantly plays the ball backwards.
foxfanazer Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Cracking performance! Yes Newcastle were bloody awful but we took the game to them and embarrassed them. Vardy is god. Kante MOTM
Webbo Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Vardy's goal was really good as well, not a tap in or a penalty but an excellent finish. He really deserves his record.
dedlock Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 So many good performances but, as others have posted,Kante is an excellent buy. Above all another supreme team performance. We have found consistency.

Very Julius Caesar'esque type speech there Thracian... like it. Summed it up perfectly
katieakita Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 The day will be topped off by the true Geordie summing up that footballing masterclass.
Strokes Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Brilliant! A third of the season gone, and we're top of the league. The goal difference is starting to look competitive now, too. Whisper it quietly, people, but this is a title challenge. We've got a tough run ahead of us but I think we can mix it. I seem to be saying every game how important the next one is but we need to beat Man U.
urban.spaceman Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 What a time to be alive. 4 wins on the trot 10 consecutive away games unbeaten Most points in the Premier League since April Vardy equalling the Premier League record of 10 consecutive games (for Leicester, having a striker than can score at all is a bonus) Vardy with 13 from 13 games - equalling Cottee's Premier League record with LCFC. As things stand, after 13 games we are top of the Premier League. I repeat: AS THINGS STAND, AFTER 13 GAMES WE ARE TOP OF THE PRIEMER LEAGUE. Seriously, what a time to be alive. Leicester City, wherever we are, however we're doing, be it top of the Premier League or being relegated to League Two, will always - ALWAYS be my happy place. I've never been so prouder to support this club.
Tuna Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 True Geordie will be crying into his brown ale tonight.
Sir Shep Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 Paul Merson loves us as much as we do! To be fair he's always been in our corner, even last season. I find him a decent honest pundit. My world will explode if the Beebs Phil McNulty ever decides to tear himself away from the "big" clubs and write something complimentary about us!
Richard Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 We looked seriously good today. Like seriously good. Aided by a poor Newcastle side but we kept the ball like a top 6 side at times and there's some decent players in that Newcastle team.
Socks Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 We've got a tough run ahead of us but I think we can mix it. I seem to be saying every game how important the next one is but we need to beat Man U.As long as we play the same way we have been doing and dont change cos its "man u" etc i will be proud and happy. Lose draw or win.I dont think claudio will change our tactics. He goes for goals and knows our team like the back of his hand. The only teams that bother me are man city. Chelsea. Arsenal
daib0 Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 just had to come on to say a big CONGRATS, this is an incredible season you're having. Suppose we should have seen hints of what was to come from the final games last season with that nice surge up the table. It's always easy to criticize but we also should give all credit when it's so due, as of now!! daib0 (David) and the team from 'Royals Rendezvous'
foxes_rule1978 Posted 21 November 2015 Posted 21 November 2015 We have class players and a class manager... about time the media woke up and saw what is in front of their faces
