MPH Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Martin Keown thinks having a week in-between fixtures will hinder us as it will mean we can't keep momentum after beating Liverpool and Man City in the space of 5 days. He bleeds Arsenal. He's at it too.

Sharpe's Fox Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 The only mind games Pelligrini and Wenger play are Sudoku the old cvnts. Claudio is old in body but he's got the mischievous nature of an 8 year old.
J.Lisemore Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Martin Keown thinks having a week in-between fixtures will hinder us as it will mean we can't keep momentum after beating Liverpool and Man City in the space of 5 days. Didn't he play for us for about 5 games?
Corky Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Martin Keown thinks having a week in-between fixtures will hinder us as it will mean we can't keep momentum after beating Liverpool and Man City in the space of 5 days. But I thought we were going to benefit from not playing midweek games in other competitions?
Guest Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Man city and Arsenal are Under much more pressure. Manure even more. The team I'm most worried about who aren't Under pressure is Tottingham.
Larry_LCFC Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Ranieri and Leicester may achieve in a year what Wenger and Arsenal have been trying for how many years? Ofcourse they will try and play mind games. Just point and laugh at them.
Countryfox Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Man city and Arsenal are Under much more pressure. Manure even more. The team I'm most worried about who aren't Under pressure is Tottingham. Me too. They are sneaking up while everyone focus's on us.
ARM1968 Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 We were always going to get the mind games if we carried on in the same vein we have. However I think Ranieri is cultured enough to deal with it all astutely. The truth is that ALL the pressure is on Tottenham, Arsenal and Man City. These teams have spent way more than us and are considered to be much bigger teams. The onus is on them and not is. Arsenal simply HAVE to beat us at the weekend. Anything else for them would be a disaster. We've just got to stay strong, stay focussed and play our game. It won't be easy for either team, but the pressure will grow on Arsenal and teams like West Ham have already shown they can be beaten at the Emirates.
Biggus Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 I love Mind Games - always enjoyed Mourinho doing it- he is the master at it. Its going on all the time. Even Claudio saying '40 points' down plays our achievement. Then setting a new target of 79 points - not 80 - but 79. This may be enough to win, its in the70's and thus more easily achieved in the mind. The fans should keep it up by singing 'We are staying up' - it will wind up the opposition and their fans by stating we are just happy to be where we are. It tells our players that everything here on in is a bonus - not life an death. The fans are key to this - even if we go down a goal or even lose we have to keep up the loud support. As said above the other teams around us have more pressure based on entitlement and expectation - let us play on that. Spurs is the challenge - lower expectation than the others and looking good - we need to think up something to phase them.
maynefox Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 **** the mind games. Everyone keeps forgetting our players are under no pressure to win the league. If we do, fantastic. If we don't, I will be elated with the team and they'll be icons for years to come! ALL THE PRESSURE is on Man City and Arsenal. If those two do not win the league it will be an utter embarrassment. Even if one of them wins the league and the other does not. The latter is still an embarrassment. If Arsenal don't win the league they should sack Wenger. I'm not even exaggerating. This should (could) be their year and next year will be even more difficult to win the league than it has in the past 10.

Socks Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Tbh spurs arse an all and man city are under more pressure than we are. Its expected of them and not us. Even now. So let em say its spurs or arse an alls to lose. Let them get on with it. Let them still go on about chromosome boy being the best in the league. We just keep playing like we do. Thats all If we go top with 3 games to go, 3 points clear. Then yeah its pressure time.
whoareyaaa Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Martin Keown thinks having a week in-between fixtures will hinder us as it will mean we can't keep momentum after beating Liverpool and Man City in the space of 5 days. We have kept the momentum going all season the baboon.
StanSP Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 We have kept the momentum going all season the baboon. exactly
Woof Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Martin Keown also said on MOTD that the pressure will be greater than the great escape last year as then we were in a situation of "nothing to lose". I thought this was absolutely bonkers as our current position is literally "nothing to lose" - very far from the very real threat of relegation over most of that run!
Spudulike Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 This 'mind games' thing doesn't get to me and it won't make any difference on Sunday... And I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them. Love it.
Floridafox Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 I get all this but IF we are 2 points ahead with 2 games to go then even our players would feel a bit of pressure cos we will never have the chance to win the biggest prize in football ever again whereas man city, arsenal even spurs will. So we better win the League as soon as possible!
FireFox Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Thought I'd post this here (Don't listen to Robbie Earle take a shot at Robbie Mustoe though, they both were saying we couldn't keep it up) http://www.nbcsports.com/video/leicester-city-must-balance-pressure-mentality If that is blocked outside the U.S. then try this one: http://pdk.theplatform.com/5.6.12/pdk/swf/flvPlayer.swf?id=player&v=http%3A%2F%2Fplayer.theplatform.com%2Fp%2FBxmELC%2Fnbcsports_embed%2Fconfig%2Fselect%2Fmedia%2F1SlHGPxT9CVv%3Fform%3Dvars%26component%3Dplayer%26autoPlay%3Dtrue%26t%3D7
SheppyFox Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Their mind games and nonsense work with teams constructed of only money and mercenaries, teams that pale in comparison to the might of our team spirit and friendship amongst the ranks, they have no chance against us!
Vlad the Fox Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 To be honest I wouldn't take too much notice, no ones said a great deal really. Let's face it, if they start spouting off about us it could backfire as it would show the world they're running scared of a club costing a fraction of theirs and who started the season as relegation favourites, which could have a negative impact on their own squad and its confidence as it would increase the pressure on them.
