The Official Leicester City thread

Cannot wait for Wednesday now. Lack lustre game according to the radio on Saturday but then it was never going to be dazzling.

Nick a draw against chelski, beat newcastle and QPR and we're laughing!

[TwigtheWonderkid]

A draw away at Leicester on Weds will suit us and you guys. Looks the most likely result to me.

[Pixel-Snapper]

Question is... will we go unbeaten for the rest of the season?

I really hope so.

So the owners have their own call sign on the helicopter now.

Actually, I'm starting to think he's some kind of flawed genius. It was a loaded question about criticism of the players.

He's immediately turned the attention away from the players and onto himself.

He looks and sounds like a man on the edge of a nervous breakdown, I honestly think he needs help.

[mickk]

Shame the reporter didn't give him some stick back, Pearson's just a bully.

[Evil Jack]

You are an ostrich.

[TwigtheWonderkid]

"You are either very silly, or incredibly stupid."

Not much of a choice!

He always seems to get into spats with very young reporters. I'd like to see him try it on some hard bitten weatherworn hack, who wouldn't be intimidated by his nonsense.

I wouldn't call the words he used as being a bully. Got to be a bit soft to consider that.

The media have had it in for us for a good half of the season being at the bottom. I think he could of handled it a little better then he did but on the flip side i can see why he walked out. Some journo's ask such crap questions to which they already know the answer to, yet still persist in asking.

Found it amusing that all the reporters are wading in blowing it out of proportion yet not one person stepped in to stop the "bullying" at the time. Even piers morgan is trying it on.

Biggest ing Slimebag of the lot..........And a balloon headed ostrich to match!

Roll on saturday!

I'm not sure there has been criticism. All I hear and see about Leicester is the players performing very well but the results not quite matching what is deserved. Plenty of times this season you chaps have been excellent only to lose by the odd goal, as a result, you're probably the least criticised team down there.

[Rib]

if youd like to see pearson with an experienced reporter who asks decent questions he did one with the guardian I think it was, cracking read and shows that he responds to quality journalism, but detests those that try it on.

[Kitchski]

I couldn't even hear what the question was!

And that was exactly the point the journo was making. NP was moaning about unfair criticism of his players and the journo was asking "what criticism is this?" It was a perfectly fair question because there has been very little. Mainly because LC has been good this season, even when they were losing, and have been no one's pushover.

BBC Sport's old boy has taken him to task. Pearson's responses smell very strongly to me of a man on the ragged edge.
