It's great to see a team like Leicester doing well in the prem .
Good luck to them and I hope they see it through to the end.
You can get 4-1 on any one team but Leics to win the PL now
just hold it together for 4 more games and it will be over

Originally posted by stellspalfieThey play to their strengths, this has been the secret of their success. Rainier looked at the players that he had and simply worked out what was the best way to use them. Its pure Brian Clough genius. They will absorb all the pressure and then recoil on you. They also play as a team, I know it sounds silly but they really are a team as opposed to a team made up of individuals, they play for each other. Rainier although he comes across like some Grandpa, expects his players to do what he asks of them, he even droped Mahrez because he would not back track and defend. The whole country wants them to do it so sick of money trying to buy the league with big name prima donnas and grumpy arrogant managers.
are leicester that good or is everybody else that bad?

Originally posted by phil3000he is like a whippet, too fast for the Sunderland defenders, typical Leicester city goals, he did the same thing against Liverpool although in a more spectacular fashion, big hoof up the park, Vardy gets it and he is deadly accurate. This is the greatest thing since Forest won the European cup.
Vardy gets a brace against Sunderland .
Edging even closer ,guaranteed a place in the champions league now .( if that was in any doubt )...

Wins 'Premier League' title, 2 x 'Champions League' various other Cups

Originally posted by stellspalfieWell ok Chealski imploded, Utd are in transition, so are Liverpool but what can we say about Arsenal and Chity, whats their excuse? Sure we can argue that it may have been conducive to their fortunes this season but they are top because they are the best team. Yes they have not the finesse of the legendary Utd team but that doesn't matter, you can only do the best with what you have got and thats what they have, the most creative midfielder in the UK, Mahrez and the most prolific goal scorer in Jamie Vardy, its a deadly combo
