What I'd give for palace and Leicester to drop. And Huddersfield, Wednesday and Brighton to be promoted. That would make my year. 3 terrific away days as well.

I said on a post last year. "Check where they will be this time next season and that's why I'd rather be in our position than there's." Hope they go down. You'd rather have a few mid tables than win the league?

If still think they did a deal with the devil last year. Their meteoric rise in physical fitness has deserted them, much iron the same way as their charmed dubious decisions. They are back to being similar too the team that was heading out of the Premier League under Pearson before their fitness improved overnight.

I know I shouldn't be saying this as a Stoke fan but, Mr Robert Huth hasn't been looking too clever this season has he? You know, the great void in our defence? Without the protection he and Morgan received last season they've gone back to looking bang average at best.

I'd still sell my right bollock to be I their position since the start of last season. I don't think they will go down. Gouranga. Shit Albert didn't you say few seasons ago you'd sell your left bollock if we we got to an FA Cup final.

Last season was a fluke this season is the real Leicester Can you fluke a 38 game season? I don't think so, a one off certainly but not a fluke. .

Fluke is certainly harsh, but they played the least amount of games of all 20 teams last season, having departed both cups early, giving them more rest weekends than anyone else, they played the least amount of players during the season than anyone else, the big guns simply did not perform, Man U and Chelsea especially, so no...Not a fluke, but a lot of cards were stacked in their favour.

Yes. Would you take winning the Premier followed by relegation in back to back seasons? Over let's say Top 4 followed by staying up? Definitely.

Of course they could, they achieved the impossible last season and it was never going to happen twice. Maybe they'll take the Champions League with them though.

It's a serious situation for us, one which I am really hoping Ranieri can turn around. Our fans all want him to turn it around. We are lacking in quite a few aspects, little too much to go into detail with on here, but these aspects are and have in the past, been fundamental for us.
We haven't pushed on and that's what's got to me and many other fans. This was a season to really stake our claim as a top side in the division - by that I mean a comfortable top ten finish. We may, just may still do that, and it's not impossible in the future. I just thought we'd be doing much better than we are. Pre season I wouldn't of said top ten is an unreasonable ambition?

If we'd won the title last season you'd need a crow bar to wipe off the stupid grin that would still be on my face.

Your squad is still very weak and you are still totally reliant on the fitness and form of a few key players. With Vardy and Mahrez unable to match the ridiculously high standards they reached last year and no Kante an injury to either CB (is the big useless Polish lump still 3rd choice CB?) could just see you relegated

Each season a bottom team goes on an amazing run and performs a miracle escape. Sunderland have done it repeatedly, as Wigan used to. Leicester themselves did an escape act 2 seasons ago. This season, if 2 of Hull, Swansea, Palace, or Sunderland again go on an amazing run, Leicester could find themselves in deep trouble.

They wont go down. But, they're lucky there's 3 shitter sides than them in all respect. Sunderland Hull Swansea Maybe even Boro. Otherwise, they'd probably be chest high in the shit right now. You forgot to include Palarse in that list ...

last seasonwas a fluke as all the top 6 performed badly. this was never going to happen for a long time and until the big 6 fuck off to the super league no one else will stand a chance of winning the title. i did predict the best bet at the start of the season was leicester bottom half 2/1

Yeah, I'd much rather not win the league. Then be a complete failure after. As a fan of Stoke City Football Club I would take that any old day of the week considering thousands upon thousands of Stoke fans have never seen us be the champions of England in our whole history, I'd snap your hands off if you offered me the league then struggle against relegation the next. Leicester City's season hasn't been a complete failure yet either.

Yes they could, I don't think they will, they have Hull, us, Sunderland, Watford and Bournemouth at home that will decide their fait but I would love it to happen to them if only to see MOTD on the last day of the season and the look on that sanctimonious twats face.
