They won't hear the praise about us, they'll just hear the stuff about the other teams Could be, I suppose it depends what time you tuned in - obviously it's quite a big story how poor Chelsea's recent form is vs how they're expected to do, so they're going to spend a lot of time talking about it, but they did spend a lot of time talking about us earlier this morning. TalkSport are definitely fairer than Sky in that respect Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are we top of the League or did I dream it last night? Even heard one reference to Arsenal being a 'Top 6' Club. Tuning into TalkSport and then getting annoyed about what you hear is like wandering up to the most obnoxious wind-up merchant you know in the local pub for a chat, then getting upset when he winds you up. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TalkSport are definitely fairer than Sky in that respect To be fair to sky a lot of the "old guard" are not going to change their ways. I genuinely sensed a bias in Tyler's commentary last night. But the likes of Neville, Carragher, Keane, Richards and Redknapp seem to be on the turn when it comes to talking us up. The thing is we are still years behind where Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool etc are in terms of worldwide attraction. Popular news sells, its that simple. Pulling figures out of the air and using talksport as an example. If Chelsea have 1000000 and we have half that, talking about Chelsea is going to attract more listeners, its fact and something we need to get used to. Big if, but if we carry on the way we are in a few years we could be talked about just as much. The more we improve, the more we attract, the bigger we become, the more popular we become 'If' we win the league again in the not so distant future, the narrative will always be little old Leicester did it again. If we do it again after that, it won't be little old Leicester anymore, it'll be the new breed and so on. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zorro en españa 137 Posted 20 January Report Share Posted 20 January “Oooooh, they play some wonderful football ..... Leicester” - Peter Drury’s commentary when Maddison struck the bar last night. What a fabulous performance. The energy the players put into that game, in grim conditions, was astounding. I can not single out one player - they were all immense. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway there is a long way to go but 38 points from 19 is something to be a little excited about Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He just needs confidence the right manager, which Lampard is not. What are you talking about? Many of us were saying that for much much longer than that. He and Ndidi (Ndidi is much better now) were mainly responsible for our sideway and backward passes and our inability to get the ball upfield when pressed. They, together with Maddison (when he was playing deeper; now much improved just behind Vardy) regularly disrupted the flow and stifled our plays. We were found out by opposition teams - key is just to press our left side and back four and we would go pass pass pass backward. Chelsea fans are now just finding this out ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still a helluva long way from ending there! How is that so much different? We have form, as in won it before and finished in top six last season. Besides I wasn’t one of those claiming Southampton fans shouldn’t get excited, but yes 19 games in is way more games in than Southampton it is half of season. So quite different than a handful, when you have won it before people start to believe it can happen again. And it could, not saying it will, but it is far more likely than Southampton Edited 20 January by foxes_rule1978 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
