Didn't go for us sadly but what I would say is that outside Chelsea and Man C all of the bigger teams are beatable if they have off days. I'm not saying we'll do it but we shouldn't write off Nov/Dec like some seem to be doing. We've beaten the big sides before and we can do it again.
I'm sure that the press will be fawning over The Foxes tomorrow but I still think we're a better side than them and will finish above them once players are fully match fit and the decisions start going against them.

Too true.
Every team, including the eventual Champions, has a rough patch at some point during the season, hopefully Stoke's is current. The mark of quality teams is they come out of it and recover form. Will Leicester when they hit a rough patch? Newcastle haven't.

Leicester are the darlings but let's be honest here: strip away the hatred for United and be objective, they were bloody lucky today. They went 2 down from two excellent goals, got a very lucky goal after Vardy clearly took the ball out, we then see United go comfortably ahead again and a mad 30 minutes. Vardy blatantly fouls a Rafael then dives to win a penalty, stuffing knocked out of United. Leicester quickly get the equalizer and United capitulate. The ref was awful in that game and despite United gifting goals you can't say the ref didn't have a massive bearing on the game.
