Forest were 100/1 when they won the league, leicester were 3000/1

so if leicester do win the league, it will have been around 30 times more unlikely.

I think when they say their's was the better achievement they are including their euro cup win, in which case they have an argument.

Solely winning the league(if we do) leicester's will have no equal.

Leicester were 5000/1

Loads of Forest fans on the internet trying to justify that their achievements are better than ours would be.

It's almost like they don't like the idea of us doing really well.

 

I've seen a lot of this and it makes me cringe a little. Some of our fans are acting like we've already done it and are opening themselves up for a lot of stick if we don't.

 

Long, long way to go, wish people would wait to discuss that if we do it.

 

(But if we do, our achievement is bigger  :whistle: )

Tbf I think that's all anyone's really said.  13 games and 39 points for it all to still go horribly wrong.

William Hill has 12 5000/1 punts on us.

 

“For commercial reason we are not Leicester fans. Should they win the EPL we will be paying out £2 million plus,” said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.

How laughable, given they've probably more than balanced the books with the quantity of all the other bets on other title contenders.

And I will bet a lot of people have lost money on betting Leicester to be relegated lol

Keith Vaz's only agenda is selling Keith Vaz.

.

100% true.

Don't remember seeing him at matches away such as Hereford, Crewe or Cheltenham in 2008/9.

As usual Vaz comes across as a total plonker,not once but twice invited Vine to the Leicester match saying we will look after him.

He's being very clever, and doing what I'd do.

Vaz: You'll have to come and watch the chelsea game at ours this season, we'd make you feel very welcome and you'd be superbly looked after.

Vine: Er, it's at our place.

Vaz: oh, is it, oh, what a shame. We'd really have looked after you as well.

Pause

Vaz: Yes, made you feel very welcome.

Pause

Vaz: and really, really looked after you.............

Vine: oh for ****s sake. I tell you what.....

Vaz: oh wonderful that is so kind, see you last game of the season. Bye.

Vine: shit.....

Paul Merson is expecting Arsenal to beat Leicester next weekend

"No [they can't win the title] because if Arsenal beat them next week they're two points behind them - that's how quickly it changes. They're top four, and I've just written Manchester United off today [saturday]. I don't think Manchester United win the league now."

 


 

What an idiot Paul Merson is.  :blush: 

 

What if Arsenal don't beat us?

 

And even if they do is it impossible that we can't beat them in a 12 game season with a 2pt start?

 

Cringeworthy, imagine paying him for these words of wisdom.

Could not believe my eyes when I saw this in Cape Town on my way home from work!!

 

Nor me, this will out-do Forest's achievement for sure.

Can't disagree with that really. I don't think we'll win the league unless we beat Arsenal.

You must have a similar IQ to Merson then.  ;)

 

He said we CAN'T win the league, which is utter nonsense. No one with more braincells than an average housefly can predict who wins it with and degree of certainty and no one can write off anyone in the top four with any degree of certainty either.

 

Only an idiot would disagree with what I just said.

What are you on about? lol

 

He's not stating fact, it's his opinion that we can't win the league.

 

The question is "Can Leicester win the Premier League" and he said ""No because if Arsenal beat them next week they're two points behind them - that's how quickly it changes. They're top four, and I've just written Manchester United off today, I don't think Manchester United win the league now."

id say it was the opposite, if we beat arsenal we've won the league. if we don't we've still got a massive chance to win the league. 

 

to think that after only our third defeat of the season, with 9 incredibly winnable games coming up, at least one of the other two "title rivals" dropping points on sunday and no matter what still having a two point lead we won't win the league is mad. 

 

say what you want about other teams, journalists and pressers not taking us seriously but i've said it before and i'll say it again, when are our OWN fans going to start taking us seriously?

he's used the wrong word basically. his opinion is that we won't win the league. to say we can't is basically stating it as a fact. which is stupid.

After winning against City we don't really need to worry about the outcome against Arsenal, unless we get thrashed by 8 or something. If we don't win the league I'll imagine it'll be down to some tinpot outfit like Palace holding us to a draw or something

To be fair to Paul Merson he is one of the better media type individuals who has often this season bigged us up and said how well we have played etc, etc. Also saying things like if I have seen a better midfielder than Drinkwater this season then someone should point him out.

It's obvious Paul Merson will root for Arsenal this weekend he used to play for them. It's like asking Birchenall who will win. He will say Leicester. No different than Phil Thompson each time we have played Liverpool of course Liverpool are going to win.

Pundits who genuinely haven't got a clue are Garth Crooks, Mark Lawenson, and Micky bloody Quinn, none of whom will admit we are a good side this season and deserve to be where we are.

This weekends game is a bonus after winning at City. Even if we lose on Sunday come 6pm we will still be top of the league. Let that sink in for a moment. It's what we do in the 12 that are left afterwards that will determine where we finish this season.

Technically the journalist has used the wrong word. He doesn't use the word 'can't'.
