I liked this when looking at the current Spanish La Liga table:

 

Barcelona - Played 12, 25 Points, GD 18

Real Madrid - Played 12, 25 Points, GD 16

 

Our current record in the PL:

 

Leicester City - Played 12, 26 Points, GD 21

 

More points and better GD than Barca and Real, same games. :D

So what you’re saying is not only have we won the a premier League before Liverpool, we’re on course to win La Liga before them too, without even entering?

Haven’t checked to see if it’s in here already but looking on Saturday, Jonny Evans is the only outfield player from our current starting XI (3 games on the trot) yet to score a league goal this season...

Just a few weeks ago I was worried that we didn't have enough goals outside of Vardy for a genuine top 4 push...

Okay so I made that up lol

But seriously there are some names (not naming names) that I haven't seen post on this forum in a good few months. 

Funny how some just use FoxesTalk to vent.

Hmmm. I wonder who on Earth you could possibly be talking about. :ph34r:

 

It is odd that some people are only ever on here when it's going badly.

The PriceOfFootball's figures put Leicester in the top five most profitable clubs in Premier League history, behind Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Burnley.

Arsenal are the most profitable club, with £512.3m, with Spurs in second place (£390.1m), Man United in third (£238m) and Burnley in fourth (£121.5m).

This season is City's 14th in the Premier League since its formation.

 

 

Good news for

& other Gooners. #Arsenal win the most profitable club in Premier League history trophy ahead of #Spurs.

will be impressed with #BurnleyFC coming 4th & other surprise inclusions in Top 10 are #SaintsFC #HCAFC #NCFC #LCFC

La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A, **** it, Eurovision. We're here to win it all.

Can you imagine a bleedin' Eurovision Football Contest?

The chants would be a problem for starters. Our lot can barely keep it together for a round of When You're Smiling, so god forbid we every bring in a key change. Or... *shudder* ... a costume change mid-match.

 

You'd have to keep the Eastern European sides and the Greek and Cypriot teams away from each other too, they'd be scoring tactical own goals to help each other out.

With Leicester City making their best-ever start to a Premier League season, LCFC.com takes a look at the statistics behind their success so far in 2019/20.

The Foxes head into the November international break with eight wins from 12 matches, losing just twice – to leaders Liverpool and 20-times champions of England Manchester United – in the process.

They are currently in second position, with 26 points on the board, and have already broken both Club and Premier League records this campaign.

As the final international break of the year gets underway, we reflect on four months of riveting Premier League action for City.

 

The attack

Jamie Vardy's 11 Premier League strikes sees him, to date, positioned at the top of the goalscoring rankings in 2019/20.

Leicester City have the second-best goalscoring record of 2019/20, having netted 29 times in 12 games, averaging a strike rate of just over 2.4 goals per game.

This season, only Manchester City have scored more goals than the Foxes, who have netted more times than unbeaten Premier League leaders Liverpool.

They have only failed to score in two of their 12 matches – during the 0-0 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers on the opening day of the season, and against Manchester United, in a 1-0 loss, back in September.

City also possess in their ranks the top-flight’s leading goalscorer, Jamie Vardy, who has scored 11 times, taking his overall Premier League tally to 91 goals in 188 appearances for the Football Club.

 

The midfield

James Maddison and Youri Tielemans have both excelled for the Foxes in 2019/20.

The trio of Wilfred Ndidi, Youri Tielemans and James Maddison, has been pivotal to Leicester City’s fine run of form so far this season.

Nigeria international Ndidi has completed more tackles (59) than any other player in the Premier League in 2019/20, and is followed closely by City team-mate Ricardo Pereira (54).

In addition, Tielemans and Maddison, have contributed to a combined 12 goals this campaign, while wideman Harvey Barnes is the league’s joint-second assist maker with four to his name.

Spaniard Ayoze Pérez, meanwhile, often occupies the opposite wing to Barnes, and scored his first goals for the Football Club with a hat-trick in the 9-0 victory over Southampton in October.

 

The defence

Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans has been impressive all season.

No side has conceded fewer goals than Leicester City have this season, with only eight efforts breaching their back line and goalkeeper.

That has led to the Foxes earning an impressive goal difference of +21 after just 12 games, and only Manchester City have a better for and against ratio.

Kasper Schmeichel, meanwhile, is joint-first in the clean sheet rankings, with Sheffield United’s Dean Henderson and Manchester City’s Ederson earning as many shutouts.

Also ranking highly in the defensive charts is Çağlar Söyüncü, who has made the fifth-highest number of clearances (66) in the Premier League term.

 

The team

Leicester City sit second in the Premier League table after 12 matches.

Overall, as a team, Leicester City have made 266 tackles in 2019/20 – 34 more than second-placed Brighton & Hove Albion.

As the Premier League’s second-highest goalscorers, City are also second in the rankings for both goals from inside the box (24) and goals outside the box (five).

In addition, only three outfits – Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool – have made more passes than Leicester City’s 6,348, with Çağlar Söyüncü (835) ranking fourth in the individual standings, and Jonny Evans (757) placing ninth. 

Finally, City’s 247 crosses are the fifth-highest among the Premier League’s sides this term, with Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton and Sheffield United the only other teams to make more.

All well and good ... but can you trust numbers from people who think August 11 through November 9 is four months?
