tom27111 Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 Surprised that nobody has mentioned it, but the BBC live sportsday page was running a lot about us today. The poll was who will finish higher - Leicester or Chelsea. 59% think we will! They were also asking people for their views on if we're title contenders. Got the respond that you'd expect really.
MPH Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 It is pretty great to see we're even getting into this conversation. but that doesn't mean that Sky article can't annoy me. "Southampton were second this time last year but ended up finishing seventh. Leicester will surely go the same way..." Firstly, incredibly minor point, but after 13 games Southampton were 3rd. Less minor point, we aren't 2nd! And we're certainly not 7 points off the top like they were. On the other hand Newcastle were 9th this time last year, so it'll be funny to see Liverpool collapse and nearly get relegated. Bloody Hell, i'll take 7th.
Fox42 Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 Bloody Hell, i'll take 7th.You're not the ambitious type, I see 2
lgfualol Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 aww arsene wenger loves us He's buttering us up so he can try to nick our players
ramboacdc Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 You're not the ambitious type, I see i would gladly take 7th too!
CosbehFox Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 Sky have also spent the day on Twitter actively trying to get Robert Huth in trouble with retrospective punishment.
Popular Post Matty Hamez Posted 23 November 2015 Popular Post Posted 23 November 2015 Bloody Hell, i'll take 7th. The trouble with 7th is, having finished 14th last year and 21st the year before, we'd run a strong risk of finishing 0th next year and I'm not sure anyone knows what would happen. 15

MPH Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 You're not the ambitious type, I see As a 13 year old i once went round the house of the prettiest girl I knew, and gave her a love letter. She was way out of my league, but i didnt care....
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 Why whoosh? They can't all be the same guy Sorry, I thought there was just one when I heard Sean from Enderby was on there. How the BBC keep on letting him on I'll never know.

AKCJ Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 The generic 'Leicester won't carry on winning because Southampton didnt' argument is absolute muck it really is.
MPH Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 The generic 'Leicester won't carry on winning because Southampton didnt' argument is absolute muck it really is. You are quite right. But its probably true.
AKCJ Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 You are quite right. But its probably true. Don't get me wrong we're probably not. But the reason will be because of injuries or suspensions. People say 'they won't win it because they're not a big club' and it's just lazy.
foxfanazer Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 Sorry, I thought there was just one when I heard Sean from Enderby was on there. How the BBC keep on letting him on I'll never know.Oh right. No theres a few. The other week some lad phoned in and said that against Palace Kante made an average of 7 tackles a minute
promised land Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 Does this now mean the so called 'top 4', then became the 'top 6', and now we've gatecrashed the party it's a top 7? Because they can't leave any of the other trendy clubs out just because we have taken a spot up there after a third of the season.
Webbo Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 LEICESTER HAVE WORST RECORD AS LEAGUE LEADERS AFTER 13 GAMES Leicester's record is the worst of any table-topping team after 13 games since the first season of the Premier League. Chelsea (2010-11), Aston Villa (1998-99), Manchester United (1997-98) and Newcastle (1996-97) all had a better goal difference with 28 points after 13 matches. Blackburn had 26 points after 13 games in 1992-93 - none of them went on to win the title.

UpTheLeagueFox Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 Sean from Enderby ... How the BBC keep on letting him on I'll never know. He's an absolute plum. Yet people take him seriously 1

Absolute willies.
Matty Hamez Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 What a f**king shambles. Ranieri out. Don't let the mail bamboozle you. Including us, that's 6 out of 23 seasons, so more than a quarter of seasons were just as- HOLD ON. NONE OF THEM WENT ON TO WIN?! Ranieri out. Chelsea sacked him for finishing 2nd. Why are we any less than them.
dayday Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 On the Sunderland forum, they have a thread called Are Leicester City really better than us, you couldn't make it up
Sir Shep Posted 23 November 2015 Posted 23 November 2015 Does this now mean the so called 'top 4', then became the 'top 6', and now we've gatecrashed the party it's a top 7? Because they can't leave any of the other trendy clubs out just because we have taken a spot up there after a third of the season. How the hell have Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool crashed the party!
