Can't find a link but here's a screenshot. Even then SkySports manage to represent us negatively, implying that he's remaining against his will. Maybe I'm a bit paranoid but it definitely seems that since our title win, they more than anyone are desperate to see us implode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard mate, everyone who said we wouldn't win the league last season is waiting with a semi, edging themselves ready for us to slide back down the table. I'm fairly certain they'll all be disappointed and simply left standing with their cock in their hands though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get much more revenue from supporters of the big clubs than Little Old Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without exception, everyone I speak to says our title win is the best thing to happen to the Premier League in a decade. I'm willing to bet that our CL group games will have TV audiences as big as any of the top clubs as neutrals will be interested in how we do. For many, many reasons I think this was a great opportunity for Sky to make some money but as you've both said, it messes with the natural order when you'd think the possibility of another team crashing that big 5 would be a welcome one.

Yep They need Utd, Arsenal Chelsea and City to be duelling it out with Spurs & Liverpool coming heroically close, they enjoy a good upset from the likes of us, West Brom or Stoke, because it makes the narrative at the top of table better They certainly loved our story last season, but ad revenues are nowhere near the same when it's us Vs Palace compared to Man Utd or even Liverpoool Vs Palace. They would love nothing more than we stay near the top and add to the theatre of it all, but they'll be praying that we narrowly miss out and return to 'plucky underdogs' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarriedaLeicesterGirl Posted 5 August 2016 Share Posted 5 August 2016 Given what CR was saying for the past two weeks, it would appear Mahrez had told them he was going to stay at some point. They planned their transfers around it. If his eyes started wandering later, I can see the owners putting the kibosh on the idea. This is especially true if they are seeking to sign some more players, who might be less willing to put pen to paper if it rumours are swirling that the team is leaking its stars.

I'm pretty confident we can finish in the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 5 August 2016 Share Posted 5 August 2016 There's no doubt that our profile is on the up so Sky etc will just have to get used to it. A good win on Sunday will raise it up even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 5 August 2016 Share Posted 5 August 2016 I hope we get it, otherwise we'll never hear the end of it. Newspapers love lifting people up way beyond their expectations and knocking them down with equal gusto. It's all in the interests of sales and presenting something that gets people reading and talking, of course, but that doesn't hide the hypocrisy. Cos they're never much for pulling themselves down when they get it wrong - either in terms of their football predictions or their political analysis or anticipation. .

I've noticed this. The amount of pictures of Mahrez smiling over the last few weeks has been incredible. It's clever, and I have to say I like it as well. All this rubbish that he's unhappy, then they post a picture of him training smiling. They did the same when it was reported that Ulloa wanted to leave and unhappy. Good work, city's media department. Arse fans must be hating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
