The Official Leicester City thread

[curlie467]

Haha, yes, I've read the splurge that comes out. Odd.

Well it's a nice win, but Brugge has an annual revenue of around £35m, while Leicester earned over £90m in TV rights alone in 2015/2016.

Quite a percentage by the way;
Leicester City’s revenue from 2014-15 season where they finished 14th in the table was around £86 million (£71.6m in tv money, £12 million Gate and matchday and £3 in Commercial).

Burnley fan by any chance?

"many pound notes" Dyche

brugge seemed to be awful to be fair but have been in the CPL before so cant be all that bad! sounds like we upped our game again and a great start to the campaign, certainly no disgrace so far which we were told we would be in the CPL, how did celtic do again? oh and Man u in the europa?

Eh?

Why do you respond to a post if you don't even seem to know what your responding to.

Leicester, with a annual rev. 3 times as much as Brugge, winning the match is hardly a fairytale is it. It's what you expect.

You miserable fker.

Ignore him he's a prat who seems personally wounded by any British sporting success, if you've seen any of his posts in the sports forum you'll see a boring trend.

I'm just waiting for the obligatory "islander mentality" comment

Yeah he's a prat isn't he....

Your probably one of the "Britain is the bestest at everything ever" crowd.

Ignorance and arrogance is a terrible combination.

Speaking of which (and a generous scoop of underhandedness):

I bet that was what you thought.....

Could you please look up the annual rev. of both Feyenoord and ManU ?

Top, top signing this Algerian fella you are about to sign, he just oozes quality ,

So annoyed my team isn't in for him.

[Rib]

whole team performance has been much better today! starting to look more like the team we did last year!

[Flying Phil]

3 - 0 vs Burnley .....Good solid result for the Foxes!

[Rib]

3 points closer to safety

Agreed. Top half is the realistic target now. Man City and the other regulars look strong this season. (Mind you, so did we today)

[Rib]

TBH I reckon in the back of their heads top half is all they are aiming for, or just not aiming at all like last season, 1 game at a time. Top half Id be chuffed, Europe again would be awesome achievement, all about the CPL this season! would love to get to a decent stage in that to show we are not an 'embarrassment' like many have said we will be.

[Leicester Loyal]

Bruges was a great trip, best one I've ever been on.

Lovely win today, we played some class football. That second half was one of the best I've ever witnessed at the KP.

[XslaneyX]

really hope we do a number on Chelsea tomorrow night. Conte looks like a bloody bond villain and would be good to see a healthy scoreline to rub it in against Kante for leaving.

Apologies.

The BT Sport site did specifically say that non BT customers would be able to watch the game on Sky as it was their Free To Air one, I can't find the page on the site anymore. I even asked them on Twitter to confirm. It was streamed on the website which was easy enough to watch and decent quality.

[technodup]

This might be an odd question but does anyone here remember the game and number of points when Leicester qualified for the Europa League last season?

I'm writing a piece about setting goals and that was one step along the way, and the only one I can't define...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35953062

These appear to say slightly different things, did they qualify for the EL and the CL on the same day? Because Man U lost at Spurs?

Shame about last night! 2 nil up just before half time then a couple or three mistakes and a final score of 2 - 4....oooopps

[stuartmmcfc]

League cup can be a poisoned chalice for a team competing on 4 fronts.
I wouldn't be disappointed if Swansea beat us tonight.

[Flying Phil]

A clinical first-half performance from Manchester United helped them beat Leicester City 4-1 in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

Oooopps!

[hornetrider]

I've decided Leicester are a guilt free option to support in Europe this year.

You're welcome!

[XslaneyX]

Edgy last 25 minutes but thats typical leicester!!

Glad we got the result. Hopefully follow it up in the league now.

Thought the ref was playing for a draw...!
