Yes i am serious, it was never a penalty. If you are pushed in the back whilst already going up for a challenge then you have little control of where your arms will end up.

 

It was a clear push and its not like HMS Morgan hasnt got form for it. He is forever pushing players in the back.

and NEVER gets pushed himself a ?? who do you support by the way ? whats with the HMS crap  ? what`s next, he dived for the second pen  :-)

[adejo92]

I support Leicester however i am realistic rather than blind to any negativity just because we did well last season.

 

HMS? oh, sorry, allow me to refer you to the Cambridge dictionary;

 

"Abbreviation for Her or His Majesty's Ship: used before the names of ships in the British navy"

 

I just figured the speed and maneuverability  would resemble such title.

 

The second penalty was certainly a penalty but if you think the first one was then we shall agree to disagree.

T his thread is stupid, we have a team of PL champions, we have added to make the squad better.

For the first time ever we have a campions league agenda, in which we surpassed all expectations, isn't it logical that are PL form is not what we hope for?

Would anyone seriously swap with Spurs?, not going to win the league and out of the CL?, with a wimper.

 

Not anymore. By far. The major cog was taken out and the whole team is actually on Championship level. The recruitment was poor. Beside Slim and (maybe) Musa, the rest is underwhelming or can't even get to the first team's bench. Mendy is unfortunately injured since the beginning of the season. 

 

Bottlers or not, Spurs are still title contenders this year and I'm not sure we would have won or even got out of their CL group.

According to your logic we were robbed of victory at WHL, because that penalty for Tottenham was a bad joke, and we were robbed

of victory  against Arsenal at the KP, because Musa didn't get that last minute penalty.

Right?

Right?

I can't recall either of those so i am not going to say either way.

 

I think my argument boils down to the fact that we had to rely on 2 penalties (one of which wasnt) just to get a draw against Middlesbrough.

 

It wasnt intended to backtrawl every game for any time we were 'robbed'.

I am talking about this season!!!

What kind of fan are you, if you can't even remember

our games against Arsenal and Spurs?

oooo ooo oo i love a fan war. Im a bigger fan than you! ha! i bet that hurt!

 

But no, being serious, i cant recall the penalties from those matches off the top of my head. If you want my details so you can write to the club to suggest they issue me a banning notice for not being a 'big enough fan' then let me know.

I've watched a lot of football this weekend and think the only teams to look worse than us at present were Burnley (playing Man City), Sunderland (playing Liverpool away),  and Watford (God knows how we lost to that lot).

Worrying.

I agree entirely

I am not interrested.

But, do you really think, that talking our players (e.g. Morgan) down is helpful?

I doubt it.

Morgan, Huth, Vardy, Mahrez, Drinkwater & Co. have won the title for LCFC.

The players did it. Not we, the fans.

And now, just a few months later, those players are called clowns, donkeys,

crap, waste of space etc. in this forum.

Unbelievable.

[Wymsey]

We only need a couple/few decent results to potentially be where Watford are currently, as the league is currently looking like a Championship-esque one with many inconsistent teams.

 

It will only be official if the team lose or even draw at Sunderland, with tougher games following-up in what will be an important but hectic festive period.

We've also played West Brom, Hull, Middlesborough and Watford and picked up 1 point from those games

It really doesn't matter who we play at this juncture. What mostly matters is our midfield play, or lack of.

[foxy boxing]

we do like our battles whether it is fighting for the title or fighting for our premier league lives

[goose2010]

We are 6 points off 7th everyone just needs to calm down a bit!

Never a penalty ??? are you actually serious ? the bloke autographed the bluddy ball ! a push doesn`t make you stick your hand up and punch the ball :-) never said I was happy to drop 2 points but we certainly did not deserve to loose the game.

The first one isn't a penalty. Morgan is all over Chambers. Karanka said post game that even Morgan admitted it wasn't a penalty.

 

Besides two penalties we wouldn't have scored on Saturday. Middlesbrough deserved to win. Same applies to the week before at Watford.

 

It's fine people saying we're "only xxx points from 7th" but where's our next win coming from? We took one point from WBA H, Watford A and Middlesbrough H ffs... Results aside, the performances have been absolutely shocking and it's staggering the amount of people that can't see that.

Once more, it's not about where we are in the table, it's HOW we are playing that's important.

I remember like yesterday, going back years, how many people on here said we were too good to go down under Holloway.

It went on for months. Again (if I recall) I was castigated for daring to come on here saying...'hold on, look at how we are playing at the moment, relegation could happen'.

'Nah, don't be stupid' or 'you ain't a real fan' or similar was posted to tell me I was wrong. It's the FT way.

Fox 92 is bang on. Don't look at the table at the moment cos it means very little. Look at the way we are playing. We aren't scoring many goals (we are in the lower third for goals scored) whilst we have conceded tons of goals (one of the worst in the division I think?)

We have a striker in Vardy who is clearly getting pissed off at the lack of quality of the forward balls to him (it's not only about the number of forward passes, it's the quality of them that matter). We have a central midfield who are over run, not tracking back, not many assists and just about zero goals between them. And we have a defence that look unbelievably shaky.

Finally, we have a manager who appears to be making the same mistakes, in the league, week after week after week.

SOMETHING MUST CHANGE....if it doesn't, how we are performing may well result in the same outcome as it did under Holloway....relegation.

Our only saving grace currently is that the bottom sides are just as bad. I think Sunderland on Saturday could well prove to be a very early season 6 pointer.

That's the point, Col. We're playing absolutely dreadful and have been for the majority of the season. I think I can count 4 good 45minutes of football this season... Defence don't look organised anymore, midfield aren't strong and there seems to be lack of confidence with the Zieler and Vardy. We don't even create chances... Sunderland will be a tough game on Saturday and no doubt they'll be stronger than us.

 

It's time for a change now. Definitely personnel but who knows whether Claudio will change the formation. Too many players, nearly all the team actually, are under performing ... I say 'under performing' but maybe they are all back at their level now (average) because last season was a true one off where every player was on top of their game. The only player that has showed 'class is permanent' is Drinkwater, and even making two crucial mistakes at WBA and Watford he's still been our best player.

 

[Foxxed]

Just accept it. And get behind the team to achieve what we wanted last season: 40 points.

 

Chasing dreams and expectations will lead to disappointment, but working on ever improving may occasionally lead to greatness.

Absolutely spot on Col- I can't understand how anyone could disagree with this analysis

Col, did you used to have a different account? Because I know you love telling everyone how right you are all the time, but we went down in 2008, and under your avatar it says you joined in 2011

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

We are in a relegation battle because we poorly recruited in the summer. Most are a disaster waiting to happen. Yes, we are but that doesn't make it acceptable.

Indeed I did mate. One other in my lifetime I think. If I remember back that far, I think I got banned (again), left the forum for some time, then came back under the current guise.

I disagree. I think it's that in harness with lack of form and reaction to last season, plus a poor pre-season.

There's a solid idea for a comedy sketch in here somewhere, having a guy who claims he's right about stuff he couldn't possibly have forseen.

 

"Everyone took the piss when I said Caeser was going to come back and take over, but I tell you, they weren't laughing when he crossed that Rubicon"
