If they beat us then they have a legit chance

I think LVG will always do what he doest best and get them a win against a team like Leicester but in the end I guess they will fail to make top 4 although it will be tight. And I think the reason will be, ManCity will thrash the teams which they are suposed to where as ManUtd's easy fixture list does sound exciting but they are going to draw 1 or 2 games from those Laughing

Junior Hoillet's career summed up

pretty sure there's a football league thread

follow the rules pls

forgot all about that guy though, had him on FPL a few years ago because he was cheap, thought he was in MLS or something, nice to see QPR still feeling the effects of handing out long term expensive contracts to scrubs from the PL days

Credit to Leicester's defence for carrying them to the title. Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, Kante. I cant see anyone even scoring against them at the moment.

Never seen a team with so many 1-0, 2-1 wins. They deserve it though and I'm happy for them.

Chelsea 04/05 immediately comes to mind.

Chelsea 04/05 had 11 1-0 wins and 1 2-1 win over a 38 game season.

They are currently on 7 1-0 wins and 4 2-1 wins, so 11 in total with 6 games to go. To put it into perspective.

CB was like 2 years old in 2004.

I was 2 when Blackburn won the league but I still know Shearer and Sutton bossed the league that season hmm

by Peccadillo Mon Apr 04, 2016 6:24 am

I remember that season well. Chelsea's 1-0's were also jammy AF. Lampard deflections and Drogba pen dives in the final minutes!

Both sides unquestionably have/had awesome defence though. Maybe Huth picked something up from that season.

Atletico in their title winning season. Jammy upon jammy upon jammy.

Its only these recent run of games that Leicester is winning 1-0. Don't forget their scoreline against the likes of City and Liverpool.

by Kick Mon Apr 04, 2016 7:25 am

Atletico 13/14 had 11 1-0 or 2-1 wins hmm

by Art Morte Mon Apr 04, 2016 7:50 am

The funny or curious thing about Leicester is that their defence has only become solid in 2016, earlier in the season it was actually a bit shit, but their attack won them games. Just checked and they actually had their first clean sheet in the league in only their 10th match and just four clean sheets before the turn of the year.

by Peccadillo Mon Apr 04, 2016 7:55 am

I agree. Their defence seem to have really lifted their game when it mattered. When their star attackers stopped performing as much as they were earlier in the season.

I think Schmeichel, Huth and Kante have always been having a good season but in 2016 Morgan, Simpson (who is their biggest liability) and Fuchs have really lifted their game and as a unit they are defending no worse than Chelsea in 04/05.

by FennecFox7 Tue Apr 05, 2016 4:45 pm

Their attackers are just burnt out. If they get depth players and keep their good players like Mahrez, Vardy, Albrighton, and Kante among others, as long as they strengthen a few positions they can remain competitive.

Relegation-threatened Aston Villa say they are spending less than £80,000 to "refresh" the club's crest.

80k to remove the word prepared and add claws?

Who are they paying? I could have done that for 20 pounds.

would of done it for 79k

by Art Morte Thu Apr 07, 2016 5:44 am

Damn, I had offered them 81k. So close.

Had never realized they had the word "prepared" in their badge. A bit of a weird one? Other clubs have words like "excellence", "victorious", "pride in battle" or "world domination". Villa were just "prepared". And now they aren't even that.

by Hapless_Hans Thu Apr 07, 2016 11:35 pm

Pretty sure they are prepared to go down by now
