Danno Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Pint of bitter, Steve? Yes, there are so many things for a leicester fan to be bitter about when it comes to Burnley.
Soar Fox Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Pint of bitter, Steve? Bitter about what? Sean Dyche did say about not getting a factual penalty.
lgfualol Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Bloody hilarious. BT are wankers. We could have won 46 games this season and Dyche would have got it because of his budget of a paperclip, chewing gum and string.
Corky Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 How can a manager, who was under enormous pressure to deliver and kept faith in a squad that collapsed so spectacularly, who manages to win 31 games and claim 102 points not be in the top 5 managers?
Happy Fox Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 This Calvin guy is a c**t remember him being very bitter towards us during the Sven regime and afterwards, has a chip on his shoulder and is a Millwall fan as well.
Kitchandro Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Great to see Nige has made BT's top 5 managers of the season. http://sport.bt.com/sportfootball/football/englishfootball/upwardly-mobile-dyche-defies-the-odds-S11363899682065 You'll never guess what Nigel thinks of that:
BlackburnClaret Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Yes, there are so many things for a leicester fan to be bitter about when it comes to Burnley. I know, it's incredible reading this forum at times.
BlackburnClaret Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Complete media failure???? Our Nige has done a sensational job and he has been massively complimented in the media, don't forget that. However, he took a team which finished sixth last season up as champions and with a relatively decent sized wages/transfer budget. Dyche, for all his faults, was forced to sell his star striker on the eve of the season and took a team fourth favourites for relegation to an automatic promotion spot. Man City will probably win the Prem but you can easily argue that Pulis and Rodgers have done a better job than Pellegrini this season, taking various things into account. The Dyche story is much better than ours to the neutral. But that takes nothing away from what Pearson has done. Absolutely spot on.
Finnaldo Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Do we really have to scrutinise every media outlet for not mentioning Pearson as much as our liking? The media's primary goal is to get people to buy their papers, visit their websites or watch their TV channels. The best way to do that is surprising/outlandish/shocking news and information, such shocking crimes such as various school shootings, celeb paedo/sex offender trials and other equally shocking content. On the other side of the spectrum you have the heartwarming stories, the favourite of these? In sporting terms, it's a good underdog story. If you were to stand back and step onto the boots of a neutral, would you be more interested in a team on an average Championship budget, most likely unbeknownst to you of the cuts we've made, who have won the league without breaking many records other than the club's personal ones, or the story of a club, favoured for relegation get promoted on a budget much lower than most in the league, and only use 22 players? As much as he's come across as a bit unsavoury, he's showed very good tactical nous, and its obviously going to become the number one story. But I bet that next season Nige and the boys are put much more in the light in the pre-season build up. Generally preseason analysis will be a lot more detailed than the general mid-season dross that drawn up quickly to fill up pages. I'd imagine Burnley's summer will be less colourful than ours so I can see more Leicester related media coming out in the close season
Bilsthorpe Blue Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 I drive past this road sign every day and it still makes me chuckle Sums up the championship table to a tee!

MC Prussian Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 First playoff game is on tonight: Brighton vs. Derby Predictions? I'd go with an entertaining draw. 2-2.
FrankieADZ Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 First playoff game is on tonight: Brighton vs. Derby Predictions? I'd go with an entertaining draw. 2-2. sitting back & enjoying it...knowing we did our job and on that game....2-1 Brighton.
Unabomber Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Thank goodness we are not involved in this, I reckon Derby will nick it 2 - 1 this evening.
kingcarr21 Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 dont think it will be a high scoring game. Brighton to sneak it possibly but im going with a bore draw 0-0
Jiggers the Fox Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Normally fairly low scoring the first leg. Similar to ours last year i'm gonna go 1-0 Brighton.
ealingfox Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Derby's record against the top 6 P10 W5 L5 Brighton's record against the top 6 P10 W5 D2 L3 Should be an intriguing tie. Not expecting much from QPR v Wigan.
ScouseFox Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 1-0 brighton, second half goal. boring, predictably tense game.
kingcarr21 Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Derby's record against the top 6 P10 W5 L5 Brighton's record against the top 6 P10 W5 D2 L3 Should be an intriguing tie. Not expecting much from QPR v Wigan. good stats but i believe Derby took 6 points off Brighton this season. Derby will feel confident
Fox Ulike Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 I fancy Brighton over two legs. Derby have over-achieved this year, but man-for-man, Brighton have a better team. INTERESTING that Brighton only made the play-offs cos of the three points they won off us when our team was hung-over. I'm surprised that Reading haven't made a fuss about this... If Brighton get promoted then it'll be because of our promotion party.

Danizen Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 "We're one-nil down, who gives a ****? We're Derby County and we're going up." Very cute, Derby. Very cute.
