It was, but never mind - I sometimes think I must be invisible :)

My bad, been on the road all day so I did a quick skim of this thread when I found the article and must've skipped straight over your post.

Sky have done an article on 'worst day of 2015'

 

Our worst was drawing 0-0 at home to Hull which to be fair isn't a bad shout and shows how good our year has been! and according to Sky we have inflicted to clubs worst days. Villa's beating them 3-2 after them being 2 nill up after 70mins and Swansea's beating them 3-0 at home.

Lawro is no surprise as the buffoon is on LSD.

The super computer? I want to know what fkn data Sam was fed to spew out a 1-1 draw as they are shite :) ? Was Lawro or the other genius pundits helping them too?

Super Computer my arse!

Hopefully we keep getting written off week in week out. It keeps the pressure off us. The fact we have been the underdogs (according to betting) against Newcastle, Swansea, Chelsea, Man Utd, Everton and Liverpool is a little bit crazy considering we are top.

"If Leicester are going to stick around in the top four, and Silva thinks they might, Monday’s game cannot be billed as a title decider. “It is too early in the season anyway,” Silva says. “It is an important game but not one that will define anything. Arsenal are clearly a very strong team but Leicester are playing very well, so both really are direct rivals. You can’t discount Leicester because they are producing great performances every week. They are confident and winning their games. Perhaps Arsenal’s players have the edge in experience, they have everything they need to challenge for the title and they have some players coming back from injury, too.”

Good man Dave

I think he's wrong when he says Arsenal have the experience; they've won nothing for years (apart from an fa cup) and have frequently shown they can't hack it over a season. On the other hand, and I know it was at a lower level, most of our squad have recent experience of leading the race from start to finish and not letting the pressure get to them.

I'm guessing he means experience of having an expectant fan base and the pressures that come with everyone expecting you to win games. At the minute we're still surprising people.

 

By the looks of it though, Ranieri has his head well and truely screwed on and their seems to be great support from the crowd week in week out. So hopefully this will help keep the pressure off the lads and they can keep going about business as usual.

The BBC need a revamp in their football 'experts' on their website.

 

Lawrenson, McNulty in particular aren't in-depth analysts, compared to Shearer and Murphy etc on MOTD.

Ranking the 20 best players in the Premier League: December 2015
 
14 - Christian Fuchs, Leicester
Leicester’s astonishing rise to the top of the Premier League table is as a result of the entire team playing out of their skins, and the first of this group to appear in this month’s Babbello Index is Austrian left back, Christian Fuchs. Fuchs is a fundamental part of Leicester’s play and has made more interceptions (26) this month than any other player in the entire league. So often this season Fuchs has been the first of Ranieri’s side to win the ball back, the ground zero of those devastating counter attack moves which have resulted in Leicester’s apparently unstoppable momentum. And he’s a left back. Oh and he assisted that record breaking Jamie Vardy goal against Man Utd too, with an absolutely perfect pass.
 
 
8 - N'golo Kante, Leicester
The previously unsung hero of Leicester City’s table topping team has been spotted by a few people now, in the same way that it became ‘really cool’ to tell people Paul Scholes was the best midfielder in Premier League history about five years ago. Kante doesn’t play like Paul Scholes of course, but is the key to Leicester’s counter attacking plan in the midfield. He has made 24 interceptions this month, slightly less than his teammate Christian Fuchs, but has also made 25 tackles. It is his vision to break up the play in the centre of the park that puts Leicester’s rapid transitions to attack in play. You wouldn’t put him in your Fantasy Football team, but right now you’d really want him in your actual team. Especially if your team is Leicester, which is who he plays for.
 
 
3 - Jamie Vardy, Leicester
It’s probably time we realise that Jamie Vardy is actually quite good. Three goals and two assists in five games is a phenomenal achievement for any Premier League striker but it has become routine for Leicester’s. Vardy is perfect for the counter attack - direct, aggressive and really quick, defences throughout the league have not been able to stop him. It feels like the goalscoring will have to slow down at some point and we’ll all return to reality, but it’s been going for so long now… is he good? This is all so confusing.
 
 
1 - Riyad Mahrez, Leicester
He’s brilliant, this guy. A bag of tricks, a pocket full of rainbows and a first touch that would make Ronaldinho sit up and take notice, Mahrez has been tearing teams apart this month, scoring two and assisting six. The way he controlled a high ball in the box against Swansea and slotted past the goalkeeper was nice but the way he left Cesar Azpilicueta tangled in knots in the Chelsea box was borderline erotic. We can only hope that he maintains this form and Leicester don’t think it a good idea to cash in in January. What a player.

Scored 6 hasn't he? 3 against Swansea, 1 against Chelsea and 2 against Everton? Did they get the assists and goals the wrong way round

Yeah he's got it the wrong way around.

 

Assists - Chelsea home (Vardy), Newcastle away (Ulloa).

Genuinely, the PL CM with the best tackling ability I can think of, vs. the PL CM with the worst tackling ability I can think of.
