Correct, think about it, they ain't too dissimilar Err, not really I think Diouf is an upgrade on SJW, Certainly quicker, and not afraid to chase lost causes, and will get on the end of enough chances to get a reasonable goal return, given the chance. But Vardy is a cut above IMHO. I'm pretty sure that Leicester fans have the same certainty of a goal when Vardy is bearing down on the keeper 1 on 1, that I've not had since the days of Mike Sheron. Certainly when Diouf (And I'm not knocking him), is in a 1 on 1 situation, I'm hopeful, and expectant, but never 100% sure. With Sheron, I was confident, and bizarrely almost relaxed. Don't get me wrong I think Vardy is a far better finisher then Diouf (even though I hate the scrote) but style of play that Leicester play suits him to a tee, and you could take Vardy out and put Diouf in they wouldn't lose a huge amount. Do you see what I'm trying to say? As I feel Im not articulating very well.

Fuck me, this isn't 18 year old Michael Owen we're talking about. Vardy has been mediocre his entire career and has simply hit a fantastic patch of form. Don't be fooled mate, the scoring will stop.

What's to suggest it will? He's on fire and has been an absolute nightmare for defenders, it's not just his finishing but his pace and work rate. He's proving his doubters wrong. You don't need to be a big name player to be a top player.

Do you see what I'm trying to say? As I feel Im not articulating very well. If you're saying that we should be playing Diouf, and using him in a similar way to Vardy is being used at Leicester, then much as I love SJW, I agree. metalhead As for where Vardy rates, then I think its somewhere between Owen, and Diouf. And I fully expect him to stop scoring sometime.

He's shit on the whole. He's had a whole lot of luck in this run and that's great, but trust me, it'll stop.

Memphis Depay was the best thing since sliced bread and Steve McClaren was looking a good manager at Derby. It's football, things change, Vardy is proving his worth and Rooney is on a serious decline. Would you bet against Vardy scoring next week? As for luck, on the whole you make your own but having seen us play Leicester earlier in the season he was head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch for me.

Two defenders clumsily running into each other.

Well done Jamie Vardy what a great achievement. I wish we had someone who could score as freely as he does. He makes it look so easy

Remember in the summer when I was ridiculed for suggesting that given his form he should be ahead of Rooney in the England pecking order...? Rooney should have been dropped from the england squad about 12 months ago. His form is piss poor for club and country and unfortunately he is selected by because of his club and past and not his present. If man utd were in better shape rooney would be one of the first through the door.

Against the club of the former holder of that record. Congrats to Vardy indeed, but I refuse to buy into the idea that football started in 1992, as I said, this week is the week that Jimmy Dunne becomes famous.

What a story this is turning out to be. I think it would be fantastic if he became the leagues top scorer at the end of the season. Although it still doesn't make sense.

Well done to Vardy, incredible record.
Saying that, other than the goal he was dog shit, as were Leicester bar the odd moment from Mahrez.

Leicester have the confidence of lions not foxes... Even danny f'n drinkwater is taking on the likes of Mata, Carrick, Smalling! Someone get what they're drinking up there and give it to our midfield. It's great (although very annoying as a local). High tempo, direct, mixed with some lovely skill from Mahrez and Okazaki. Kante hardly ever loses possession either. Just like when you're at the bottom nothing seems to go for you, when you're playing with confidence, things seem to drop for you; I guess that's what they mean by 'making your own luck'. Some of their fans are freaking deluded though and are quite insufferable at the moment I'd happily swap insufferable for the way I feel right now!

As The Oatcake has shown on many, many occasions, being a Stokie AND an insufferable arse is perfectly achievable.

Congrats to Vardy indeed, but I refuse to buy into the idea that football started in 1992, as I said, this week is the week that Jimmy Dunne becomes famous. You are spot on. He doesn't have the record. And in no way does that belittle the achievement. 11 in a row is amazing, it doesn't need a fake record to validate it. Maybe if he breaks the real record at least it will at least be one 'record' the media won't be able to separate from reality.

If he doesn't score another goal all season, he will end up with a greater tally than any of our strikers. Of course, he will stops scoring as prolifically at some point buti see no reason why he should not score his share. He is everything we need, and Diouf is the nearest we have to him so must displace the lumbering Walters

He gives hope to all players in the lower leagues and shows you can still make it to the top if you apply yourself. It's a great story. As is Lester on the whole so far this season.
