Stevo985 Posted February 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2016 They're a strangely brilliant side. They're like a perfect storm of confidence, personnel, manager and timing. I don't, for example, think Ranieri is much cop, and I can't imagine him taking charge of, say, Norwich and steering them to similar heights. Everything has just worked. I actually can see them winning the league now. But I bet next season they'll be back to average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they could win the league a stick 2 fingers to sky and all their best league on the world bs... but I imagine that the Manc City chaps will be extra motivated with Pelli leaving, as he just seems like one of the most decent guys going. I know, I'd be busting a gut for him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Would quite like them to do it just for Ranieri. Been pretty much a runner up in his career so finally winning a league title and probably with the least resourced club side he's managed in the last 20 years if you discount some of the early Italian teams he managed. He's proved me wrong aswell, thought he was well passed it as a manager after his spell with Greece and I'd have reacted with horror if we'd appointed him at any point in the last 2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, they were pillaged and returned to normal service the next season. I see the same thing happening with Leicester.... ... but I still want them to win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I somehow get the feeling that even Leicester hung on to all their players they wouldn't be anywhere near as good as they are this season, next year. Right now just seems to be be the perfect storm for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 ABC - Anyone but City, Don't mind if Arsenal or Spurs also win but Leicester winning would be terrific. They really ought as minimum now get into the champions league as well, but next two are critical. City away is the fixture I most want them to win or at least draw. It would be so depressing for City to win this league after all the excitement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 They've only lost twice this season?! Wow even City have lost 5 matches. We actually have more losses than the first place team has wins. Pretty impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 This is the sort of stuff that used to happen in the 80s so even though it won't spark off a new era of promoted teams challenging for the league it's still good for the game. I'm pretty sure back then Watford came up one year and finished 2nd as did Southampton. Maybe West Ham aswell. Forest of course started it all off. Of course you still had a team who majorly dominated in those days (Liverpool) but there were so many different teams who'd finish 2nd-5th each season and of course the premier league gradually killed that and made the top 4 a closed shop unless you're bankrolled to 100s of millions. So Leicester who spent 10 years away from the premier league, who I saw play at Walsall in 2009 and are only in the second season back up are giving everyone small hope it could be them one day if they plan well enough. Even us in a sorry state but you never know, a lot can change in 5 years in football for better or worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
