When we were catching teams out all the time he was clever at winning penos like that a few times, using pace and forcing the keeper to foul him, inviting him a bit, but at least mananging to manufacture contact with his pace. Kane didnt even do that, just dived Vardy doesnt win so many now because team's allow for his pace and those opportunities come less, its not like he was ever a terrible diver. Jealousy has people slating him for that, like we get slated for everything since winning the Prem Delle Ali, is the worst for it as far as I can see, 3 bookings for diving in a year!, but he plays for Spurs, so the media wont bang on about it The thing is he may have been booked three times but the ****er does it every game.

Koke Posted 5 February 2018 Share Posted 5 February 2018 6 hours ago, Babylon said: Why do people feel the need to mention what we paid for him when it means the square root of feck all and doesn't dictate value. Harry Kane cost Spurs £0 so I guess they should sell him for £20m and stfu cos they've made 20m profit. Logic. Fail. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 3 bookings is a lot, players rarely get booked for diving. So 3 bookings probably equates to about 30 offences 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisses me off how others still think we fluked it despite winning it by TEN fvckin points. Sending off your striker in a key match is some way of helping you.

Vlad the Fox Posted 5 February 2018 Share Posted 5 February 2018 3 hours ago, Blue ROI said: The league win is one thing but spurs having so many young England players compared to us makes them almost free of criticism. Easier to have a go at Vardy, Simpson,Albrighton, etc.The latter don't have a reputation for diving but if they did you could be sure it would be a stick to beat us with. The England international has always been somehting of a protected species.we should know from shearer and Lennon as far back in 98. Jamie redknapp called them one of the most exciting teams in the world after the last game at home last season so the narrative on spurs isn't likely to change anytime soon. To give redknapp some credit I was watching a programme recently -can't remember what it was called maybe someone else saw it- it was about the 15/16 season, he said that us winning the league made it his favourite premier league season ever.

Not a bad point that. I wasn't saying Redknapp slated us or anything but that Spurs comment was just another favorable one without them winning much yet. Even Kilnsman got a reputation for it back in the 90s. Not that Kane is at that level but it will be swept under the carpet by Sky. The problem with all these articles like the one in the guardian last week and the Clattenburg comments on title winning night is that is takes from the reality of Spurs failings. When we lost games like the 2 playoffs and the close defeats in 2014/15 no one had much sympathy for Leicester bar ourselves. It was no ones fault but our own. Even with the penalty decision in Madrid where we had genuine grounds for complaint we came to accept that we lost to a better side overall. If Spurs don't win anything the favourable press will count for little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheLeagueFox Posted 5 February 2018 Share Posted 5 February 2018 I'm sorry but the big clubs do get plenty of stick in the press/media. We only see/hear what they say about us with our narrow blue specs on. Yeah some pundits/writers/broadcasters make lazy points. But we got masses of worldwide positive publicity by winning the league. Sacking Ranieri (painful but correct) would understandably create some negativity. Fans of all clubs think the press/media give them a raw deal and think they hate them more than any other club. These fans are incredibly insular and overly touchy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pundits have gone stupidly overboard about Diabate. I think he's done well and I like the look of the kid, but they're looking for a narrative here rather than watching the game. For once though the narrative is in our favour but yeah, not having him in team of the week. Do like Diabate though and have got high hopes for him.

Dan LCFC Posted 6 February 2018 Share Posted 6 February 2018 16 hours ago, Babylon said: I've come to the conclusion that people (including many pundits and press) still hate us because of Ranieri and the knives are out when we do anything. Don't accept a low ball valuation? Leicester's fault. Lack of decent English coaches and daring to sack a manager out of his depth? Leicester's fault for ruining football. It's a mix of that, and bitterness in my opinion that we've won the league, that a provincial Midlands club managed to crack the nut of winning the league - yet Arsenal haven't managed it for 14 years, Liverpool 28 years, Everton 31 years and Spurs 57 years. There is no way on earth that it doesn't irk them inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buce Posted 6 February 2018 Share Posted 6 February 2018 Chris Sutton breaking ranks with the 'experts': http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42953586 Leicester midfielder Riyad Mahrez has been acting like "a big baby" since a potential deadline-day move to Manchester City fell through, former England striker Chris Sutton said. Mahrez, 26, who helped Leicester to the Premier League title in 2016, handed in a transfer request in January. Foxes boss Claude Puel vowed to help the Algerian back into the fold, but Mahrez has not played since 20 January. "If I was one of his team-mates I'd be deeply unhappy with him," Sutton said. Mahrez had been hoping for a move to Premier League leaders Manchester City, but their valuation of £60m for him fell significantly below Leicester's. The attacking midfielder, who has scored 35 goals and contributed 24 assists in 127 top-flight appearances, has frequently been linked with a move since Leicester's title win, with Italian side Roma having three bids rejected last summer. Algeria coach Rabah Madjer said Mahrez "deserves better than Leicester" but urged his player to resume training. Mahrez missed training last week and was not considered for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Swansea. Sutton, who won the Premier League with Blackburn in 1995, told BBC Radio 5 live's Monday Night Club: "He's a big baby isn't he? Leicester has put him on the map. "He's disappointed not to go to a bigger club, I understand that, but he has to see out his contract - so get on with it. "He is letting his managers and his team-mates down." Former England international Ian Wright questioned why Mahrez's agents had not put a release clause in his contract with the Foxes. "They have got to take the blame because they were happy to sign that deal," he said. "They have totally let him down. I can't see him getting over it."

Agree, I'll listen to various football podcasts and radio shows while working and the most boring and irritating calls are from those people complaining that their club aren't getting enough praise, motd coverage, media coverage ect, the media favours their bitter rivals or having a go at the presenter because they predicted their team to get relegated before the season started.
