|
|
By:
chavski only won once away from home all season and were backed to 2.26!
the donut gamblers always back on a name rather than form that's why they all lose. |
|
By:
yommoma have you been watching the english league this year
|
|
By:
slip yes - leicester wont win the league but they can finish top 4, for a place in europe.
|
|
By:
i thought Leicester where bottom 5 team like usual
 |
|
By:
so did i.
|
|
By:
serious man i have not even followed the english league standings this year, i got a shock when i see these Leicester threads on the forum
|
|
By:

i'm logging off now. need my bed. |
|
By:
bye

By:
its n ot a flash in the pan because they were playing top 4 football from xmas last season ,thats a calendar season in football terms
|
|
By:
from april onwards won 7 of last 9. they were still losing pretty much every week before then
|
|
By:
okey dokey ,but if you could add them 7 out of 9 onto this season i,d deffo have a few bob on them winning the lg this season, remember the days when the loons fergie ,wenger etc said you could only afford to lose 3 in a season,some of the so called top sides lose 3 in a month these days
|
|
By:
probably gonna need at least 75 points even in this extremely sub standard season. still find it hard to see them getting more than about 65
|
|
By:
leicester have done very well but vardy should have seen straight red last night for tackle on costa
|
|
By:
doesnt often go to the end, but depends on your fixtures at the death ,teams in ch lg, fa cup on the beech and if it means upsetting the elite will the diddle of the road sides safe from the drop be putting it all in to help the likes of city and arsenal topple the minows,everyone should get behind lec bit like stevie brucie bending over for fergie in the past
|
|
By:
i think if the season ran from jan 1st to dec 31 Leicester by now would be crowned champions possibly
|
|
By:
Calendar year so far
Leicester have 62 points Chelsea 56 Man City 65 Arsenal 75 Man Utd 62 I'm not going through any more, but that paints Leicester in an incredibly sustained high position. Just one more for comparison though, Crystal Palace 57. Also above Chelsea. |

there you go darlo, work done |
|
By:
Thought it might be there somewhere. I'd gone on Statto but could only see table as on Jan 1, rather than since Jan 1.
|
|
By:
Darlo -Arsenal a big surprise for me slipping under the radar ,and only this spring most of the fans on Wengers back
 |
|
By:
Unfortunately for them the season runs August - May, BOTTLERS.
|
|
By:
Yep Arsenal winning the League would be a bigger shock than Leicester winning the League

Whatever happens i see hope for a more exciting EPL future.
Leicester have broken the tedious old boys monopoly that has ruled over English football for so long. Next season who knows? amybe an Everton or a Stoke taking over that baton. At Liverpool a simple football man has become coach. A man who understands the impo of the r/s btw fans and players, btw club and community. The mid to lower ranking teams don't have to doff their caps and bend over every time a bigger club comes calling for their best players. More signs that things are changing. Leicester prob. won't win it but next season i can see about 10 clubs in with a chance of a top 4 finish next season. Here's to a mew dawm. |

ffaith calm down fella the van will be here soon after your extended day out of the asylum.Kiss your aged mother goodbye and wink to your dad.This may be the last time that you are allowed out for a while.
"Next season who knows? amybe an Everton or a Stoke taking over that baton." That post seals it for me. Stark Raving Mad... |

O ye of tunnel vision hft. All i know is i am tired of the same teams running English football and the b.s they come out with to excuse poor play.
Man C have not done well in the CL cos they are too inexperienced  no mention of billions spent on players.Man U must get used to not winning trophies says Van Gaal. Apparently he said this with a straight face despite spending about £250m it goes on and on. A limited team will win the EPL this season why not Leicester? things will become even more open next season and i dont see many genius managers out there that will guarantee success for the bigger teams. |

By:
Take more water with it..
A freak season and good luck to Leicester but if you look at their managers record he has form for improving a team when he takes over and then it is usually a little downhill.. If you seriously think Stoke or Everton could ever be "in the mix" then you should seek help.. Both teams owners have taken a large slice of club funds - one to start up a gambling company that seemingly does not take bets and the other to fund West End Shows... |
|
By:
problem for small clubs is they get a great cammarderie and then their players get poached - Vardy will be off in no time .
shame really . Blackburn were the last small club to win the title and it will stay like that for years to come unless the bottom falls out of the game - which is most likely imo |

Unfortunately I totally disagree. There have been many teams who have challenged the top four. Everton, Bolton, Boro, Stoke, Ipswich, Sunderland, Villa, but few of them have been able to break into that bracket. Leicester at the moment, are simply just another team on that list. Until they can sustain it over the course of more than a season. |

Both teams owners have taken a large slice of club funds - one to start up a gambling company you need to see the doctor or check the facts....probably both. |
|
By:
Their are no small clubs in the premier league anymore.
|
|
By:
You have to think, somewhere out there, there's a bet confirmation before the season starts, with a lay of Leicester to win the league, and the user name ''Money Tree''

By:
Top of the league at Christmas if it stays like this.
Odds must have been in excess of 1000/1 ! |
|
By:
this is quite something . Tricky ties to come for Leicester but when was the last team so unfancied top the table like this at Christmas .
Were Norwich in the early 90s so unlikely ? or are we talking about the Brian Clough era ? |
|
By:
love to see them win..........probably unlikely but for us neutrals we can dream
|
|
By:
Ditto, football needs teams like this to win the league every now and then.
|
|
By:
I'd say Norwich's finish was very unlikely. Their previous five finishes were 14th, 4th, 10th, 15th and the previous season 18th. They were right up for the title until the last few weeks of the season.
|
|
By:
Though it's probably Clough's Derby in 1975 when such an unlikely side won the title.
|
|
By:
Forest 1978 even.
|
|
By:
Arsenal 89 was a huge shock. Most thought they'd never win the league again.
|
|
By:
Forest were the most unlikely of all time i'd have to say - having finished 3rd in the second tier and scraped promotion - they were probably tipped for instant relegation
