Leicester throwing down the gauntlet and saying "we're taking that CL spot which Chelsea have vacated"?

life-long Leicester City fan popping in to be smug again
seriously though, when we went 2-0 down at Aston Villa I was sort of like "oh well I think we all knew this wouldn't last forever" but then jesus christ we had to go and nick it. i think champions league football might be a bit of a reach but if we keep even a little of the stuff we're showing right now then we have every chance to fight for a europa league spot imo. the biggest question marks in my head are "are our players fit enough to stop them getting injured or flagging in the second half of the season" and "if that does happen, is our squad deep enough to cover for it?"

Well last season Aston Villa where on top of the league after like 5 games played or so and then they ended up in the relegation battle at the end of the season. Dont think its a good idea to read to much in to this start
Pretty sure most of the "normal" top teams will start to move towards the top again an usual.
But still have to give alot of credit to Leicester tho of course. They have been very good so far, but that usually dont last an entire season sadly.

Man United & Liverpool are two bang average teams right now. There's just nothing going on.
They're two teams that are for the taking right now.

Yeah, it's the long haul that matters. Look at Derby in the Championship last year. Looked like they were running away with it, and dropped from top with a big gap to finish outside the top 6 in the last two months. Originally Posted by Cren

(and the manager who masterminded that drop now works for Newcastle...)Last edited by Butler to Baby Sloths; 2015-09-14 at 12:18 PM.

Dyer's goal aswell, fucking hell.. Talk about going all the way. He could've easily hurt himself alot more there. Originally Posted by StarbuyPWNDyou

Also Southampton were in 2nd trailing Chelsea until Christmas, but ultimately didn't have the legs to keep going. If Leicester get European football next season I'll post a picture of myself in a Chelsea shirt with Terry's name on the back.

Yeah he was. They shouldn't have taken Bacca off for him though, they should have taken Honda off instead. Originally Posted by Firebane

Jesus Christ Newcastle are awful.
Wouldn't be surprised to see both them and Sunderland go down. Most likely with Bournemouth or Watford.

Some of the bets being made this year are getting pretty juicy.
Just remember, nothing is impossible. Still annoyed I wasted a tenner on backing Liverpool to win the league after making a daft bet on here.Ex-Mod. Technically retired, they just won't let me quit.

I think Bournemouth are more likely to go down than Watford. Bournemouth just seem lost on the pitch. I mean, the game against Norwich they were just standing around waiting for the ball to come to them, and they got taken apart. Originally Posted by Firebane
