I know it's highly unlikely, but I'd love it if they kept this run of form going and won the Premiershit. Even if they finish in the top 4 it would upset the applecart nicely.

Of all the 'big' teams we played in our third tier glory days, I found their fans to be genuine and friendly, not at all fazed by playing teams of our stature. Norwich fans were the same.

Ditto. Be a breath of fresh air. We can dream.

Indeed...but unfortunately they have a lot of tough 'away' games to come yet, their most difficult (on paper) away from home so far, has been Southampton...
Felt sorry for Nigel Walter Mitty Shithead when he got sacked, but they made a fantastic appointment in Claudio Ranieri !

I remember there were very few Leicester fans and "pundits" happy with Ranieri's appointment. All gone quiet now like...

Leicester winners and Chelsea relegated would be great. Have even watched MOTD a few times this year.

Lineker was particularly vocal about Ranieri when they first appointed him...

Would be great to see, no teams seem to be able to handle Vardy and Mahrez on current form. Sadly, I do think they are heavily reliant on those two and if either were to dip in form/get injured, I fear they would fall apart slightly. Still, they've built an excellent platform for them to possibly get in Europe.

I hope they do it for the simple reason that they respected League 1 when they were down here and as a result dominated and went straight up. Leeds were the exact opposite, hence their struggles.

To be fair he isn't doing much more than Carrying Pearsons form on from the last 12/13 games of last season.

Which in itself is a good thing especially for someone labelled 'the tinkerman' or whatever it was.

He seems to have distanced himself from that nickname since yewtee investigations.

I saw them up at Newcastle a few weeks ago they are a good side, obviously Vardy is rightfully getting a lot of headlines but Mahrez is absolute different biscuits and the best player they have is the lad N'golo Kante in midfield who they signed for about £5 million. He's an absolute machine in the middle of the park, the amount of times he breaks up play is unreal, he's quick and can use the ball as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see one of Europes top clubs sign him. I reckon they have three players that would get in any Premier League team right now. They could have beat the Geordies 5 or 6-0 on the day without complaint.

If they strengthen in the right areas in January, maybe a top centre back, they can stay right up there for me, all of the teams have defeats in them.
