What is the one thing Everton can do? Score goals. Lukaku is excellent and he'll score against Leicester. Especially now the referee will be looking at what pushing, pulling, shirt tugging is going on in the box. Can Leicester score against Everton? Probably. Can they out score them? Probably not in my opinion.

He's very good. But he wants away - hasn't looked the same player recently.

And we've outscored pretty much everyone thus far. Including Everton.
 
I cunting well will.

And if you get within touching distance and suddenly realise it's yours to lose - and then bottle it - I will look forward to your post.
Nice try cunty flaps. It's still yours to lose. Glad you lot are beginning to accept that if you lose , it's down to your cheaty little racist & his mouth.

Oh, the scenes up at the old Filbert Street if it goes wrong. Or the joy at the King Power if it pans out.

Am enjoying the banter btw. Sadly, you are in a lose lose. Win it? 5 points ahead at this point you jolly well should.

Lose from here & you will be labelled (along with Ranieri) as the bottliest bottlers of Bottleville
 
Its not the easy challenge as we all seem to believe it is, it may be only 5 points but the margins for error are small. We all know the following weekend we both have very difficult games. So for whoever doesn't pick up 3 points this weekend, then the task will be even grester.We will beat WBA, the pressure is on LC to beat Swansea. it willl be interesting to see how they cope.

In a twisted sort of way I'm looking forward to their match on Sunday. Will interesting to see how they cope with out Vardy! When is his hearing has he now got a definite 2 game ban?
 
Just read a quote from Sir Clive Woodward sayng Ranieri has mde a big mistake talking about the title in his most recent interview.

Something along the lines of you should only focus on the next game as your players will be listening to what you are saying to the media.

Monday.

Prob be 2 match ban. He's probably asked for the personal hearing to avoid the possibility of a 3 match ban, seeing as he offended twice, once calling the ref a c**t, and then coming onto the pitch at the end. They should give him 3, and add a 4th for being a nasty shit.

On a serious note, theres a glimmer of hope in all this. Ranieri looks like he's losing a bit. First up he should've sent Vardy off to get a shower and regroup once he'd got the red to keep him out of any further trouble. Then he allows him onto the pitch to give the ref more benefit of his wisdom. Now I see he's talking about winning the title. He should keep ti simple, only comment on the next game, we win and move on, bla bla. We all know they're thinking of the title, but they can't be seen to be. It'll mess with the players' heads.

He badly blew Chavskis title bid, failing to beat Leciceeter (under MoN I think) when 2-0 up with a few mins to go. Then he made an absolute ricket of their CL semi tie at Monaco. Ridiculous subs and directions that no one could understand. I also recall he burst into tears when they won at Goons in the CL QF. It's not the right type of behaviour for a winning manager.

They know the Swansea match is massive. The pressure will be immense. Ranieri is losing it, the crowd will get twitchy, the performances on the pitch haven't been convincing since winning at City early Feb. If they don't beat Swans, I'd put us as favourites.

I hope this hearing isn't dressed up as an appeal. It's starting to sound like it. In fact what else could it be?
 
Yes. Like two boxers who acknowledge each other's strengths after the fight.

One of the reasons I come here is because you're the only ones who knows how this feels. I know a lot of smaller clubs are willing us on because they identify with us - but they've can't know just how weird, wonderful and excruciating it is to challenge for a title when you had no real expectation that you were going to. You blokes do.

And I'd certainly be cheering you on if we were in our normal relegation-battling position, believe me. It's so fucking great to look downwards (from the top 2 spots) and see those clubs we've both left in our dust.
No they're not. They've finally caught on to the fact that you're pony and just getting favourable decisions and the rub of the green time and time and time again and that we play the best football and are wishing we pip you.

Go read some other forums too.

I really think it was a massive mistake. We've all seen that they've managed to keep the pressure off for a long time by not talking about it and only referring to it as a "dream" when forced to remark on it. I thought Ranieri was very clever to do that all this time. But now I think he has let the pressure get to him and this is the result, that he can't keep it in any more. Problem is, as soon as you say that it's reality. One mistake and the other team scores and now it really fucking matters. As a player, you're thinking that one slip, one pen you give away, one miss, one bad tackle, whatever, and you cost your club the title. It's really hard to cope with that sort of pressure. I think it was a big mistake from Ranieri, but he couldn't help himself at this stage because he is feeling the pressure too.

Agree. After Vardy's dive, many have switched their allegiance. Most fans want to see the best team win the league - not the cheating cloggers.

Genuinely, everyone who isn't a Leicester fan wants the swans to beat them this weekend. And then for us to smash the shit out of WB. I think many WB fans even want this too. And clearly loads of Leicester fans think this is the way the weekend will go even though they don't want it to happen. The whole world is against them. And people think they are more likely to get relegated next season than win the title. They are now 40/1 to win the league next year but 28/1 to get relegated (both Betway). That's cause actually everyone knows they aren't that good and now the referees have found them out on their cheating.
 
The big game week is the away games at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge.

Imagine what failing to win again for Leicester at the weekend may do to them.

I feel the mood has changed. Sunday is a massive game for them. Swansea's characterless players can make a name for themselves-get noticed- especially Ashley Williams who I though was looking good recently|?
