Heard a few guys in the media (Richard Keys latest) say that this  current City side have become too "nice". For the best part of 25 years we have been known to play robust in-your-face football, whereas now we will dominate possession and basically look like a Poundland Arsenal. 

He could have been insulating and called pound land spuds.

What clowns, a non fashionable club evolving to play a different system and bringing in players to suit this style.....how dare they!

Former Celtic man says Leicester City fans 'need to get realistic'
He says another ninth-placed finish in the Premier League should suffice

Chris Sutton says Leicester City fans should be happy with another mid-table finish in the Premier League.

The Foxes finished ninth last season, and ex-Celtic striker Sutton says a similar result this season should be welcomed.

City got their 2018/19 Premier League campaign off to a losing start on Friday night , going down 2-1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, he said : "Leicester fans need to get realistic, don't they?


"I think if Leicester finish ninth in the Premier League, that's good.

"I know people will say Leicester won the Premier League, and that's fair enough.

"But I think ninth is good for Leicester."

Chris Sutton and Danny Mills need to say something controversial to stay in the public eye because they have absolutely nothing else to offer in terms of valid insight.

I think the fact every time Chris Sutton is on a panel everyone disagrees with everything he says and constantly has to put him in his place speaks volumes. 

 

He’s a moron that proves just because you played professionally doesn’t mean you’ll be a good pundit. As do mills and Murphy.

Jermaine Jenas column that's definitely worth a read if you're bored in desperate need of a laugh. The levels of his bias and delusion are incredible.

 

This is the bit that's relevant to us (pretty sure there's something in the water at the Match of the Day office.

I know Tottenham fans were craving the arrival of a massive name over the summer to provide that big moment and some excitement.

Personally I wanted someone who could go past his man and in the past I have hoped Spurs would go and get Riyad Mahrez from Leicester because he has the ability to do that and open up defences.

Wrighty said this the other day.

 

Neither of them seem to understand two things:

  1. Mahrez wanted to leave to challenge for more silverware.
  2. They STILL can't even afford Jack ****ing Grealish.

I think you should introduce yourself as 'Geoff  Peters, supporter of 5000/1 premier league champions, Leicester City'.

Sutton has spent the whole weekend saying Cardiff will score the lowest PL points total ever. Sad the BBC have gone down the phone call bait route as well

Someone senior at the BBC has obviously said they need to become more 'relevant', so their response to this is to try and emulate Buzzfeed and Jerry Springer.

You can tell some of their researchers just use Reddit for story ideas.

The website is garbage compared to how it was. All headlines are now clickbait.

Absolutely. I am a staunch supporter of the BBC and their website should be a leading light in news, analysis and information. Sadly it's nothing more than publically funded clickbait, finding and sharing populist material to get the likes. It used to be my go to place for news and sport, but I can't remember the last time I used it properly.

Aye, I especially hate that cross over with the BBC 3 articles that get bumped to headline articles like "LOL LINGARD IS UNHAPPY AT HIS HAIR ON FIFA" 

 

**** sakes.
