Curse of the TV Games

[KrefelderFox666]

Was thinking about this before the match. We seem incapable of performing when live on TV. This season's stats:

 

Man U 2-1 Leicester LOSS

Leicester 1-2 Liverpool LOSS

Arsenal 3-1 Leicester LOSS

Leicester 1-1 West Ham DRAW

Leicester 0-2 Tottenham LOSS

Leicester 1-1 Man City (Cup) DRAW

Everton 0-1 Leicester WIN

Newport 2-1 Leicester (Cup) LOSS

Wolves 4-3 Leicester LOSS

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester DRAW

Leicester 0-1 Man U LOSS

Tottenham 3-1 Leicester LOSS

Leicester 1-4 Crystal Palace LOSS

Watford 2-1 Leicester LOSS

Leicester 0-1 Newcastle LOSS

 

1 win, 3 draws (with a penalty shootout loss) and 11 losses. That is poor. Two more TV games to come.

5 points out of 39 does not make good reading, just need to get this season over and start over. On a plus side at least it might reduce Tielemans price

Even the game we won against Everton we were shocking.

Leicester City. Stagefright in team form.

That was one of the worst games I've ever seen

And now Maddison is gonna be on Soccer AM tomorrow 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

On the plus side, we must be ****ing boss when we're not on TV. Amirite?

[Blue ROI]

We won our last 2  live games on Sky Sports Ireland. Fulham and Burnley last month.

Listening to the first 15mins on Radio 5 Live was great entertainment. Poor Alan Green must have wondered what he had done to have to commentate on that shocker of a game.

It's freaky how bad our record on TV is this season. On the flip side our record off it must be as good as anyone's.

Had to check and do quick maths. Quite incredible.

 

On TV. 1 win, 2 draws and 10 losses.

Off TV. 13 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses.

[KrefelderFox666]

Basically, tell Sky and BT to feck off and stop putting us on and we'll automatically slip into the top 4.

pretty much all under puel. cant even judge anything by that yet.

8th home defeat of the season,that’s shocking for us when you think Newcastle,Cardiff and Southampton have beat us here

Almost 50% of our home games we have lost - 8/17 to date which shows how good our away form must be to even be in contention for 7th.

I was posting about this very real fact on Facebook earlier as regard our season's performances in front of a live, national TV audience! We haven't played well in front of the glare of Sky's live match cameras all season long (Liverpool away aside), the BBC's (the Newport FA Cup debacle) or BT's - and so in spite of our current form it was no real surprise that we followed suit tonight too.

Delighted the Man City game has now been moved and will be on tv  That's going to go well 

 

Someone needs to write an open letter to Sky and BT begging for our games not to be televised

That's absolutely unbelievable  

 

0.38 points a game on TV

2 points a game off it

 

That's freaky.

Every single game is live in Australia

My mrs asked me if I'd set it to record last night so we could watch it back and I'd forgotten,  thank God ?

[Japanfox]

I can remember from the 90s when there was a local live match, we'd more than often lose it.  We are certainly cursed.   What did we do to get this curse is the question?

Equates to 68 pts and comfortably in 3rd place. 

 

 

Do one Sky and BT!

[Sir Shep]

Something I’d noticed as well, really does my head in, even when we play teams we should be beating (cough Newport) we just turn into chocolate feet!

[Grey Fox]

I'm not sure if it's being televised itself that seems to make a difference to our mentality.  Or if it's the move of the kick off times away from the standard ones that somehow upsets our preparation?

 

Never the less, as long as I can remember, we have always seemed absolutely dreadful when a game is moved for TV. Apart from the title season, which wasn't normal anyway.
