Jakemoore Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 So a point last night confirmed that we will be in the premier league again next season - that's according to the BBC, I haven't done the maths myself. Now, I don't ever think this has been in doubt really. But how many of you thought we would be in trouble this season under Ranieri? I did! I thought he was washed up, I thought he was finished in football. How wrong was I. No matter what happens from here on out, what a fantastic season this has been. Where did you expect us to finish the season back in August?
Raw Dykes Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 It's true. Villa can only get a maximum of 46 points. Norwich and Sunderland can only get 54 points, so there are 3 clubs who cannot finish above us now. I thought we'd really struggle this season, like a lot of people did. Whatever happens for the last 10 games, it's been a truly incredible season for us, and I couldn't be more happy to be proven wrong.
foxfanazer Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 Thought we'd be in a real battle for relegation. In my defence this was before I knew N'golo Kantè existed
goose2010 Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 - 1st Team to score 50 in the league - Safe with 10 games to play - Top goal scorer in the league - who also now holds a Premier League record - 3 points clear on the 2nd March (when writing this post) - Has a 24 year old DM who is in his first season in the premier league who has won the most tackles and most interceptions in the league (and apparently Europe!) - Our 'bubble' still hasn't burst! Don't wake me up I'm not ready to get up yet!
Larry_LCFC Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 Bollocks to being safe. We're having the title boys (subject to terms and conditions)

Don't wake me up I'm not ready to get up yet! that may not be true by the end of the day. But to add to that on SSN they said that Kante has the most interceptions In Europe

Fox92 Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 I had us mid table, which would have been a good season for us.
StanSP Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 Didn't think we would be in trouble but certainly never expected this!
Countryfox Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 I thought we would win the league I thought we'd do better than that.
Staffs Fox Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 I must admit as I was queuing to leave the ground last night, it did dawn on me that we were now mathematically safe, Of course we've known really since October we'd be ok and it's been a 99% certainty since December but to be mathematically safe with 10 games to go is almost unheard of in any league due to the 30 point swing which can (albeit unrealistically) happen. I'll admit I had us down for 11-14th finish
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 I thought we'd finish 16th and would have taken that!
Hollism Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 I predicted us to be 19th, with only Watford finishing behind us. Now I normally hate being wrong, but this time I couldn't be happier
Bayfox Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 I put a ton on us to get relegated, (mainly as it would have meant a free season ticket in the crap that is the championship) best waste of £100 EVER.
ealingfox Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 Even with a 30-point handicap we wouldn't be in the bottom 3 Madness.
Corky Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 For a club like ours to be mathematically safe on 1st March is some effort. Unbelievable.
Len Finsbury Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 *17th. That is going to be some monumental fall from grace for that to happen. Almost as unrealistic as being bottom for most of the season, escaping relegation and then topping the league 12 months later!
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 That is going to be some monumental fall from grace for that to happen. Almost as unrealistic as being bottom for most of the season, escaping relegation and then topping the league 12 months later! Now your just being silly As if that would happen
David Lowe Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 That is going to be some monumental fall from grace for that to happen. Almost as unrealistic as being bottom for most of the season, escaping relegation and then topping the league 12 months later! There is only one way to describe that table - congested.
Carl the Llama Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 I'm on record on here predicting us to finish 10th for the spurious reasoning that each year somebody unexpectedly mixes things up so why shouldn't it be the team who finished the previous year with CL qualifying form, fully expecting I'd be shown up for the naive optimist I was in the face of so much negative opinion on here saying we'd only just survive again.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 In all honestly I said we'd finish 13th pre season. I didn't think we'd get relegated or necessarily be in a relegation battle even, I just felt Ranieri's appointment could have the potenial to contiune to make us a steady Premier League outfit, but in fact he has done a lot better. The current group of players have had a season's BPL experience and with CR's tactical knowhow, the season has just worked perfectly with these two aspects.
foxaholic Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 Thought we'd be in a real battle for relegation. In my defence this was before I knew N'golo Kantè existed Surely after the finish we had you expected mid table
