Very unoriginal but after his fifth or sixth goal kick went straight out for a throw in, 'you're just a shit Peter Schmeichel' made me smile.

I wish Stoke still had Huth alongside Shawcross. Good signing for Leicester? All the attention has been on Vardy & your manager this season (and rightly so), but who are you top 5 for your team this season? What signings (if any) would you like in the transfer window?
Huth has been a fantastic signing, our results turned from the minute he signed on loan last season, as the silly conceded goals stopped
He has transformed Wes Morgan next to him though, never thought Wes was more than a championship centre-half but he is superb this season
apart from Vardy and Mahrez
- Kante is different gravy. £5.5m, most interceptions in the league, an unbelievable engine, good on the counter. our best signing for a long long time.
- Fuchs from Schalke. Austrian national captain. great at corners and free kicks, proper defender too. real leader in the squad. his no look pass/assist on the counter for vardys record breaking goal against united was one of the moments of the season
- Schmeichel, one of the best keepers in the league. the odd wtf moment, but top class. another leader
- Albrighton, villa released him two years ago. a real threat for assists but up and down the left flank he offers great help defensively
- drinkwater. completely under-rated player in central midfield. picks a pass, gets his foot in, organises well. come on again this season in a better team
really the only signing that hasn't come off is kramaric, really high strike rate by steve walsh and team. kramaric didn't start too well and needs a run of games that he isn't going to get
signings.
would like another striker to upgrade ulloa, target man maybe. some protection for if vardy and mahrez suffer injuries so maybe a striker
that apart, save money for the summer window when we know what we are competing in next year. the new tv deal and our finishing position this year means we are going to be in the market for more talent and to upgrade further
Agree with you on the Schmeichel & Albrighton lines. Dont really know the others but take your word for it.
I think Crouch might be on the move this transfer window. Maybe Leicester could step in for him if a short term deal could be worked out. I have a feeling he will go Palace or West Brom though.
The TV money is not to be sniffed at. I think this is so much help for the teams outside the 'big 4 or 5'.

the tv money in the PL is shallow, everyone gets a lot of the pot compared to some european leagues
as the pot is now so big it raises all ships. we can buy players who we could never have dreamed of getting
stoke can get afellay, shaqiri etc
every L club is in the top 30 richest in europe
apart from barca, madrid, psg etc the super clubs even leicester, stoke, west ham etc are competitiive in the transfer market against anyone else
this is why the liiverpools etc are going to have to overpay for talent, they are competitng against 20 clubs in england not 3 or 4 for these guys

Might have asked you before, Tighty, but just how good is Ranieri?
He does this "bumbling fool" act, but I suspect he's pretty shrewd tactically.
The rest of the League have had time to suss his tactics now,. but he's still able to get results.
Those 2 results at WHL should not be under-estimated, Spurs are well organised these days & a very fine team. There were some grumbles from one of the Spurs players, "hit & chase, bla bla", but what strikes me is the team spirit, they all give their best & play for each other. It sort of reminds me of Clough's first Derby Team, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Don't see any prima donnas there, either. Can you imagine, say, Ballotelli there?

very shrewd tactically, especially within games. on several occasions his changes of formation/substitutions have changed games
when he joined he brought in an italian assistant but very cleverly i thought left the pearson team intact. really helped make sure last season's finish wasn't wasted by "starting again"
he knows we don't have the quality to dominate possession, so he really ramped up in tactics and incoming transfers our ability to transition quickly from back to front.
the pace in the team, and kante's ability to interrupt opponent's attacks, is the key variable

Incidentally, they enjoyed a nice piece of good fortune this week, Huth scoring in the 83rd minute, & Arsenal conceding in the 90th minute produced quite a swing.
It all evens out in the end though.
Best EPL season in recent years, not even close. If the quality has declined, & maybe it has, that would not bother me.

Vertonghan came over as very sour grapes. I loved that result as for the first time I'm confident they can make top 4 and spice the league up a bit. Would love it if someone else could as well. Stoke. Even Spurs I guess.

Chelsea want to bring former manager Claudio Ranieri back to the club, according to reports.
Italian newspaper Tuttosport claim owner Roman Abramovich is considering swooping for the Leicester coach in the summer after Guus Hiddink leaves.
Ranieri was sacked by Abramovich back in 2004 following four years at the club and was replaced by Jose Mourinho.
But given Ranieri's impressive form with Leicester this season, the Russian owner is now contemplating whether to give the Italian a second chance.

We go top overnight
two points dropped with a missed penalty a few players, Huth and Mahrez notably, below par
44 points, and onwards
