Fake news?
Please tell us about the time you met a famous person and had an experience so bad you’ve never gotten over it. Did you meet his (awful?) wife too?Leicester Loyal has explained the Ranieri situation perfectly well, but it’s not going to alter your agenda is it?
We love the little song the Man City fans sing about us binning Ranieri . They sacked Mancini/Pellegrini after he won them the league too, but that’s different isn’t it....

Fake news. Bore off.
As for the game last night - Arsenal turned up with a back five and sat in deep.
Arsenal...
Good team this Leicester side. Squad is not deep enough for a title challenge - but I suppose that was true in 15/16 too.

Agenda? What are you on about?

It wasn't just Ranieri. The same happened after him
That poisonous little Vardy probably influences my decision too. He ranks amongst the most horrible people I've ever met. Even the Leicester fans hated him.
With who, Shakespeare and Puel? Shakespeare started well but when things started going wrong he didn't know how to change it. Under Puel as time progressed we just started playing keepball and not actually doing much else, but he laid the foundations for the passing football we're enjoying at the minute as well as looking after the squad after the helicopter tragedy.

I can see why people don't like Vardy, but don't just call out the team for being snakes. Are the Arsenal players snakes? What about Manchester United ones? Sometimes it's a combination of the manager, the tactics, the players themselves or the schedule, rather than one or the other.
I suppose success will always attract the attention of ill-informed opinions.
I don't know of any Leicester fan who doesn't think vardy is a Leicester legend, turned down arsenal to stay here, puts 100% in every week, even with poo el in charge.
Claudio we all love, but he brought on his own downfall, well publicised actually, binning a lot of the behind the scenes stuff which had taken years to build on.
Anyway, back to the real world.
Great performance, I was a little worried before the game but really didn't need to be.
Not a bad performance anywhere on the pitch, even gray is starting to look like a player worth having!
What will the season bring? Well beating Liverpool to the title would be the best thing since, well the blast time we won the league, but I don't think that will happen, Liverpool are so strong this year and I think more determined after last year. Top 4 is still going to be difficult, I'd be amazed if some of the other teams will start picking up again but it's a bloody good start and right now no reason why we shouldn't be getting top 4,but we're not even halfway through the season yet and the whole table is rediculously close.
How cool would it be to see us, sheff utd and another underdog in the top six instead of utd, arse and spurs?

Didn't he (along with other players) do a number on Ranieri and basically downed tools until they gave him the sack? I don't know of any Leicester fan who doesn't think vardy is a Leicester legend, turned down arsenal to stay here, puts 100% in every week, even with poo el in charge.

We'll never know. We had a small squad and were playing champions league football. It looked like we were prioritising the CL over the league, but were also at risk of being relegated.Leicester Loyal said:

Unbelievable you didn't get a penalty v Arsenal. LOL @ VAR.
Tbh I'm not a fan of that sort of penalty, he wasn't going to get there and don't think he pulled on him enough to go down like that, if it was given against us in would have been annoyed. It's the sheff utd fans that should be feeling hard done by, should have beat spuds and fully deserved to!

Rodgers can't jump ship already can he?
Is the media making a big deal of his release clause, or is there substance in the fact it's been leaked and he's playing down the clause and not the potential move?
His post match interview today suggested he might.. I think he'd be bananas but he's got formIs the media making a big deal of his release clause, or is there substance in the fact it's been leaked and he's playing down the clause and not the potential move?
