We saw a good football game, because Leicester were willing to play, respect.

I cherish these few occasion where teams want to play football, instead of putting 10 behind the ball and killing any potential spectacle.


The discussion is happening because some people are confusing good football with an attacking spectacle

You notice they have a completely different squad ?!?
There are clubs out there playing with an attacking agenda in every match even if they know they will most likely lose but they are getting better even after such a loss in the long term.


I'm struggling to understand your post mate. I don't get your point


Read this one maybe you get it after it

Once Pearson last season changed to all out attack instead of parking the bus, they won a lot

This season Ranieri has also done well while attacking

Fair point. That may have been their best chance.

I disagree though. Just personal opinion.

Does anybody have the clip of Alexis telling the ref that he thought the Leicester player was diving by doing an impression of a swimmer?

Well done fellas/girls, you lot looked a class act today. Can't really understand the the hate from the minority on here though. You clearly have a better team, we had a go, it was entertaining...what's not to like? (Apart from the result for us) look forward to coming to you place.

Mate, we were never out of it.


THIS.

Chelski are swimming in their own shite.
City who spent 17 gazillion lose badly to Spurs.

We gotta see what ManU are about... hard to gauge them- though their young Martial is looking brilliant.

it's terrible that i couldnt stay awake long enough after work to watch. grr!

Nice to see Aelxis get his touch back and Theo run in behind and slot home.

It's going to be a long old slog of a season. I don't think anybody will run away with it this year and we'll be up there until the end.
