home and away games remaining

home games look nice, away games less so

Quite a quirk of the fixture list that is with still the 'top 8' of the EPL all still to play away from home.  I am not sure if you are still ahead of the handicapper or not after yesterday.  5/2+ away at Everton was an interesting price.

Record of 1-2-1 so far against the traditional 'big 6' (all 4 games at home and the win against 'bottom half' chelski) with 8 games still left to play against them.  This is when the lack of possession will/should really start to tell.

Don't want to be a party killer this time of year but they look a sensational lay at 12/1 to win the EPL.

Amazing to watch them for the calender year of 2015 all the same.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does this tell us about Leicester?



Leicester completed just 168 passes yesterday, fewer than any other PL side


Surely Tony you're old enough to remember Ali's rope a dope tactic against Foreman Smiley

Means they are long ball merchants, Tikay.

Was talking with a few regulars down my local on Friday night. Despite us all supporting different teams (City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and......York) we were all in agreement that should our respective clubs fail to win the title, then we wanted Leicester to do it. I imagine this is the case for fans across the country (apart from maybe those in the midlands? Not sure on how deep rivalries go in that neck of the woods)

2nd place play off tomorrow night, gg Leicester.

Well I'm not a football expert, but "long ball merchants" is a derogatory term associated with "hoof it upfield"is it not?

I get the impression it is more a case of fast & incisive breaks, with none of the tippy tappy stuff we usually see associated with the world's most skilful teams, such as Barcelona & Arsenal.

Have to agree with the other point though - all neutrals seem to be rooting for Leicester.

What with Watford (4 on the spin now) & Lord Pardew's Palace miracles (Palace in 6trh place, incred) , it's been one of the most enjoyable EPL seasons I can ever remember.

that they counter attack very well and don't need possession to win when they are in such lethal form up front

only one of their 17 games this season we have had more than 40% posession

That is an amazing stat.

Which game was it? Because i think there will be a very good chance it was first game of the season against us!!

Lord Pardew? Seriously?

Just pray he's never near a team you support.

Let's not get carried away. Would you have him as your manager if Ranieri had to be replaced tomorrow?

He's welcome at the Swans, I'd rather Bielsa but other than that Pardew would be fine with me.

Was tongue in cheek Tony, thought you of all of people might realise that! Smiley

Dreading going there on the 29th, our away record is dog shit and don't see it turning any time soon with trips to Leicester and Watford on the horizon.

Can't wait for King Pards to get the England job, win the world cup (bringing himself on after 70 min's in the final when 1-0 down and scoring twice to win 2-1) and the toon fans still shrug their shoulders.

Shola Ameobi is the only person to ever leave Newcastle and not be berated by the fans for years to come.
