The "do they mean us?" thread

Just picked myself after falling about laughing at some Burnley fans calling us the new media darlings.

 

I haven't heard one reporter, presenter, pundit say Dyche and his side has been anything other than impressive this season. Full of spirit, commitment, energy and always looking to play good football. Dyche is being talked about as potential Manager of the Year.

 

We are certainly not media darlings, partly because of our own dealings with the press. All the praise we've had has been aligned with criticism of our finishing, defending and manager's conduct.

 

Burnley have been the media's side amongst the bottom clubs all year. We've had some praise but in no way are the media desperate for us to do well.

Anyone see Sunday Supplement yesterday? In their token 20 seconds not talking about the big four, they managed to scoff at NP and say that we'd still be going down with Burnley and QPR.

There's a few journos and pundits who have had the grace to admit they were wrong but some are clinging onto their dislike of NP until the end. Fvcking media darlings lol

4 Big Chances Created by…

Leicester City as Nigel Pearson’s men made it three wins in succession to climb off the bottom of the Premier League. What has been noticeable is the attacking intent shown by the Foxes in this recent revival, throwing caution to the wind time and time again in pursuit of scoring goals to propel them out the relegation zone and it so far has worked perfectly. Taking the last three gameweeks where Leicester City has recorded nine points, the Foxes have hit the net seven times from 50 goal attempts of which 35 have been in the opposition penalty area resulting in a total of 17 shots on target. Also managing 44 key passes and 12 big chances all the stats mentioned above are the most by any club in a clear indication as to how Leicester are planning on beating the drop. And with a double gameweek next – bur/che – which is part of the most favourable run in according to our season ticker, backing two if not three players from the King Power Stadium looks a gamble worth taking. Players for consideration include Jamie Vardy, Marc Albrighton, Jeffrey Schlupp, Esteban Cambiasso, Wes Morgan and even Kaspar Schmeichel who has made the most saves in the previous three gameweeks with 15.

Leicester City topped the gameweek with four big chances created

Jamie Vardy created two of them in an all action performance that saw the forward involved in six goal attempts

Marc Albrighton managed four key passes benefiting from set piece duties, also managing four successful crosses, the most in gameweek 33

Winners

Leicester City
In an unpredictable Premier League, only three clubs have won their last two matches or more. Arsenal and Chelsea are two of them, while the third are engineering an unlikely spring resurgence that could end in startling survival come May. After stalling for six months, Leicester have finally cranked themselves into gear.

I won't feel guilty about failing to predict these three consecutive victories, more than Leicester had managed in their previous 24 games. That run took them back to the heady days of September - it has been a long winter of discontent.

If victories over West Ham and West Brom came as a shock, the greatest compliment to Leicester is that their win over eighth-placed Swansea was comfortable and predictable. It was only their second victory by more than a single goal in any competition since April 2014 - the manic 5-3 win over Manchester United the other exception to a miserable rule.

Nigel Pearson's side have felt the glorious benefit of playing three sides with very little to play for at the back end of the season, but that should not detract from the manager's ability to motivate a team who looked dead and buried a month ago. A trip to Turf Moor next weekend is accompanied by a massive neon sign screaming 'six-pointer'.

Top of the winner's column for the first time since the Man U game!

Don't think I've wanted to win a game so much since Watford away last season, just because of the opposition fans.

I hate Burnley fans. Every other forum usually has roughly 50/50 split of arsehole fans and decent fans, having a look through the Burnley forum they all seem to think they're aiming for a top 4 finish and Pearson is a competition winner who got a chance to manage a football club. Really hope we wallop them. Or piss them off by winning 1-0 with a penalty from a Vardy dive. Really piss them off

re: Nigel Pearson on David Nugent

I think if we are talking mind games between Nigel and Sean there will only be one winner.
 

Presume he must mean Pearson ala last season?  lol

I think the weird Burnley rivalry thing has only came about this season after Pearson slagged them off, and Dyche slagged us off.

 

Last season after the 2-0 win at Turf Moor the Burnley fans were fine and actually applauded our supporters coaches as we drove past lol
