I see a couple on here beginning to say we should have got Ranieri as manager. 
I've been calling for him since 2004 and everyone but, everyone, has been saying I was mad. 
They named him Tinkerman because he saw when things weren't right and changed things. 
He did it as early as the tenth minute. So he has never been scared to admit he got things wrong. 
Over his career he has been a winning coach. 
Some say he'd never come to Villa but, he's now been at Leicester from almost the very end of the transfer window. We could have had him for 5 or 6 weeks before they got him.

It was a good game of football, better than Tottenham's pass it round the back boredom we had to endure.

We may not have been good enough but hey, we are still consolidating after getting back into the top flight and survival this season is the name of the game but there is no reason we cant try to play whilst doing so and it has given us some nice results.

Fair play, very complementary. Significantly less melty than most Arsenal fans. 

I keep an eye on that channel and that guy usually has his head screwed on, some of the other regulars are laughable though.

 

Nice to see they're all in their replica shirts in that video, I've seriously never seen so many grown men at an away game with replica shirts, players' names and number and premier league badges on the sleeves. It was like they were competing to see who could spend the most on their shirt  lol

Was thinking the same before the game. Every other set of away fans you see drinking in a pub or around town before the game. Yet you never see that with Arsenal aka the Ruperts.

JAMIE VARDY TOP OF THE SCORING CHARTS, SLASHED IN THE BETTING

Double in Arsenal loss takes tally to six

28 September 2015

25/1

TOP BET

2015/16 TOP PREMIER LEAGUE GOALSCORER: JAMIE VARDY

If you told someone two months ago that Jamie Vardy would be the Premier League’s top scorer this season, few people would have taken you seriously.

The Leicester City forward currently sits top of the goalscoring charts however with six strikes, after two tidy finishes in the Foxes’ 5-2 loss to Arsenal on Saturday.

The former Fleetwood Town striker began the weekend at 66/1 with Ladbrokes to be this season’s Premier League top scorer.

However his two goals this weekend saw his price come in to 40/1, before a flurry of bets which shortened the England man to 25/1.

Leicester’s marauding style has won many fans this season, and though defensively they remain somewhat suspect, up front Vardy is sure to be inundated with chances having forced himself into the reckoning as the number one forward at the east Midlands club.

A favourable run of upcoming fixtures may favour Vardy even more.

Of the Foxes’ next six league contests, they play five teams currently residing outside the top eight, in addition to welcoming Crystal Palace to the King Power stadium.

With that in mind, one can expect Vardy to feature in and around the goals over the next few weeks, which would only serve to further shorten the 28-year-old’s price.

Sergio Aguero remains heavy favourite for the accolade at 10/3, but the Argentine has bagged just once in the league.

Furthermore, while Kevin de Bruyne has settled in nicely at Eastlands, it could be argued he may serve to take attention and thus goals, away from Aguero this season.

Having opened his account for the campaign, Harry Kane also saw some movement in the market this weekend.

The Englishman was 33/1 ahead of this weekend’s match with Man City, but his strike and Tottenham’s resounding 4-1 win over the Citizens has seen Kane come in to 25/1.

It has been a case of misfortune rather than anything else for Kane’s struggles this term, with the England international seeing shots saved off the line and goals disallowed.

The 22-year-old continues getting in all the right positions, and with the monkey off his back, it could now be just a matter of time before his returns to last-season’s goal-scoring prowess.

An Englishman hasn’t been crowned Premier League top scorer since Kevin Phillips in 1999-00, but with so many of the big names currently struggling for form, that record might just be coming to an end.

All Odds and Markets are correct as of the date of publishing.

On the way back from the game I was on the way to the train station to meet the Mrs at her mothers and a couple of Arsenal fans started chipping off so a City fan said "is that the first time you've seen them then" as a joke. trying to be a hard man he pushed him in the back and squared up to him 'giving it large'  but soon backed down when I stood in front of him and wanted to see if he really wanted to go. However being 6'4 he decided not to be taught a lesson  :thumbup:

"Of course we're going to win this. Last year Leicester were an unknown quantity. This year we treat them with more respect. They play an open game...this has all the markings of a big victory for us. I'm going with 1-4, Ramsey -1, Walcott 2, Sanchez 1."

Hmmm..we"ll see..

 

 

Arsenal have scored about three goals all season and think theyll score 4 against us.. Ok.

 

lol
