English Football 2015-16 - Leicester City won the league - Page 885 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

talk is cheap. i remember the venkys woman talking about champions league football after they sacked the fattest of sams, and she's got a fair few bob too. then they sold everyone and got relegated.

venkys are the most extreme example but i think there are quite a few examples of wealthy owners making loads of promises they didnt keep, or ever intend to keep.

marty im sure has a compendium and anthology of the crimes committed by the various charlatans associated with rangers.

need to see it to believe it

Well yeah, that's why we laughed when they said it.

But we're seeing it now, so maybe it's time to start believing. Ranieri won't be cheap and they did spend in the summer.

They probably spent as much as we did.

There are loads of clubs that have had owners rock up with big words about Champions League in five years or whatever (we have had two of them ourselves). It just so happens that this lot might be the exception to the rule as they are the 50/1 shot that had enough of a combination of skill and luck to do it.

Leicester already have a comfortable 9pt lead over 5th place United. They can even afford a wee stumble and still be in good shape. It's not like the teams behind them look like putting a run together either which is why they will get a CL place imo

You guys are out of your minds suggesting that Leicester bring in a bunch of players in January. Why would they risk potentially upsetting the team chemistry they have to slightly increase their their title/top 4 equity. After the next couple of weeks they will only have 1 game per week. Bar any big injuries, they'll be able to play their best 11 every week without worry of players tiring too much.

People are going a bit crazy wrt United and Leicester. 9 points isn't that much. United are obviously aids at the moment but they've got tons of quality. Watch Mahrez do an ACL next week and then see how robust Leicester are.
