o/t Man City v Leicester

[Keith]

Come on Leicester! What a 'six pointer' today. Can they actually win the Premiership? Hope so.

[George Dawes]

brilliant game.

I think they will get a champions league place.

I still have doubts that they can win the league, what happens when teams towards the end of the season start parking the bus, will they have the quality to play tip tap football through teams.

[Keith]

I'm sure the Leicester fans are just loving the moment and perhaps, today, just beginning to dream...

How many Leicester players have Morecambe played against in League matches? Just two, or more?

Kasper for Notts County
Drinkwater for Man United
Vardy for Fleetwood

dunno anymore, have to do some more thinking

[Dids]

Only 1, Kasper Schmeichel at Notts County. Vardy never played in the football league for Fleetwood and we've definitely never been in the same league as Man Utd!

[halftimeresults]

Vardy never played against Morecambe

[George Dawes]

Drinkwater was pre season, in the Man United 11, not in the league.

Vardy wasn't sure if he played at theirs in L2, I know they played that BIG LUMP Parkin who did the damage at ours, hatrick?

[seantheshrimp]

Vardy didnt play in league 2 for fleetwood.
Not certain but danny simpson may have played for newcastle in the cup game

[Keith]

Ah, I thought we'd played against Vardy. Either way, when we were playing Notts County, noone would have expected Schmeichel would one day be top of the Premiership!

We were talking about Schmeichel mid-week with that amazing over-head kick that hit the crossbar at Christie Park.

i don't know! I thought(back then) he should be playing at an higher level and keepers seem to peak in their 30s

think its still on youtube, taken by a County fan behind goal, with a packed out North Stand in the distance.

[Teams like Morecambe]

Its fantastic to see little Leicester mixing it with the big boys. If they win the title it would be a victory for football.

[Seasider9601]

And to think.. Their fans were irate when Ranieri was appointed manager in the summer

[Blackpool Shrimp]

Wes Morgan played against us for Notts Forest 2008 - 2009 season
4 - 0 defeat at City Ground in Carling Cup

[Teams like Morecambe]

Graphic on MOTD showing Leicester starting line up cost just £22.25m!

Vardy £1m
Mahrez 400k



And here it is. A number of signings from the Championship and average foreign teams.

CP looks amazing! What was the crowd that day?

[fulwoodshrimp]

I don't hear Ranieri referring to "Little Old Leicester" nor saying "we are what we are" or complaining that financially they can't compete with the big boys- 6 players in the City team individually cost more than the whole Leicester squad! He takes a much more positive stance and this is reflected in the way they play. Leicester show that with teamwork, an astute signing or two and a clear tactical awareness they can compete- at our level so could we imo!

[RedRedWine]

Edit: Just realised BS has written the same thing about Wes Morgan.

BTW it's Nottm (Nottingham) Forest; Notts is Nottinghamshire CCC or County. We get annoyed when people call us the Shrimpers; it's the same thing.

[Christies Child]

Just goes to show that by playing a simple system of 4 4 2 what can be achieved providing that the midfield support the 2 strikers by running into space. MoD showed how effective it can be.

Just wish Jimbo would use such a system rather than tinkering around with both it and the starting 11 on nearly every opportunity.

Maybe we'd have a better home record and create some entertainment for the fans not to disappear in their hundreds.

[RedRedWine]

I think Leicester have named an unchanged starting XI for the last 5 games. Only 17 different players have started games, but only 12 players have 10 starts or more... Meaning it's generally been a very consistent starting lineup throughout the season to date. And to think, they used to call Ranieri the tinkerman when he was at Chelsea!

[George Dawes]

and now Arsenal.. just gone 1 up Vardy

come on Leicester City, fairytale stuff!

and that Mahrez what a bargain £500.000, must be worth 30 million now

yeah

6 points out of 9 they were looking for in the past 3 games, not bad I suppose.


only positive is Welbeck, he's brilliant for England, and with the Euros coming up.

[Westgate Wanderer]

Trust Arsenal to spoil their fun!
