st albans fox Posted 7 December 2015 Share Posted 7 December 2015 I heard this...which amused me because John Cross had just been talking about the morale at the Chelsea training ground being flat. Danny Murphy chimed in and said that he couldn't stand such flippant rumours and that such a comment was conjecture at best...minutes later Brazil remarked that, although he shouldn't really say it, but murmurs from the Leicester camp suggested that Ranieri wasn't a great person and was a poor coach. Unbelievable. Unfounded speculation is TalkSports stock in trade. That's ok - we can attract pep or Carlo once we have sewn up the title! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovril Posted 8 December 2015 Share Posted 8 December 2015 14, The whole Derby and forest fan base Reading the Derby forum that was linked here, it seems they'd be happy to see us win the league. There isn't much animosity between the two sets of supporters. Forest on the other hand are bitter twats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain... Posted 8 December 2015 Share Posted 8 December 2015 I feel like this is the turning point, with people now saying we could actually win it, it would just be typical Leicester to prove them all wrong and start sliding down the table. I hope not, but while everyone was saying we were in a false position other teams were underestimating us, now they can't and they are going to target us and set up to stop us playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 8 December 2015 Share Posted 8 December 2015 A lot will depend on the players staying grounded and taking each game as they have done up to now which is they have to go out knowing they've got to win it because the opposition certainly wont be playing to lose.

Also not all are after 15 games. Talk about cherry picking. They keep trying to equate us to the other teams when, realistically, we are getting better by the game and no-one in recent times has been in this position. We may well fade a bit but the way we are playing, our tissue injury record and the flaws in other sides make me optimistic we can at least make it last a bit longer, if not even push them all the way for the Champions League.

nnfox Posted 9 December 2015 Share Posted 9 December 2015 Apparently the records show that we should finish in the top four this season. The problem is that we are record breakers - Vardy obv, and last season wasn't there a record about no team being bottom for so long surviving. I just hope we stay steady now!
