Foxes talk was delightful last night and this morning. Doom and gloom over there. Some think it's the start of their downfall. Their so upset over the turgid football they've served up recently. Delightful.

May I remind you that the more clubs in the top four keep up their good form, the less chance the scum from the haemorrhoids will have of winning the premiership. I'm supporting Leicester and Man City (well after we play them in a few weeks time anyway...) I can't have them winning anything. Ever.

I thought they were booing him because he represents the biggest threat to Vardy starting and well, we're not likely to drop Rooney now, are we.

My Dad emailed the BBC after the first FA Cup game complaining about the poor commentating by Jonathan Pearce. They replied saying that BBC would not choose someone not qualified to do the job and they had to cater to a wide range of viewers. There would only be a problem if he was offensive, to which I replied, his ramblings are offensive to anyone with half a brain.

When we heard him talk last night we put on the audio from the radio. David Pleat gave us numerous hilarious moments.

Absolutely diabolical coverage from the BBC. Missed a lot of the match through crowd shots or following a player who's walking about nothing to do with the play. If it weren't Spurs I would have watch the other game on BT Sport.

The stream on the BBC site wasn't all that either, after half time it started jumping about all over the place. I turned it off about fifteen minutes from time and stayed with the wireless instead.

I don't mind Leicester fans, nor the Watford fans who were pretty 'ambitious' before we played them. Their clubs are enjoying good seasons, getting more attention and plaudits than they have for the last decade or longer, and in terms of Leicester their results show they are doing better than us in the league up to now. Will it last? Probably not, in the same way it is fair to expect a Liverpool or particularly Utd to recover and over the long term be a bit better than us because they currently have bigger/better long term factors.

Our new stadium, plus settled development under Pochettino will see us do better than Liverpool in the medium term,, and maybe United although their financial clout will always make them a big player if they can get the on field situation sorted.

Back to Leicester fans - they had W1 D2 against us until last night, for once they were able to 'laud it up' over us, so let us over teams that have recently been doing better than us, they were gloating a little and viewed our annoyance at the change in the status quo with glee.


I would rather they finished in the top 4 than Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, West Ham, City, Arsenal, in fact pretty much anyone bar us!
Lol! Bar the lucky 2nd place finish a few years back. We've been better than Liverpool for the last decade, with inferior crowd numbers.

What was his beef with Pearce?
I've always liked him.
Lets see the email in all its gory glory.

Agreed. Back in August I tipped Arsenal to win the league (as I did Chelsea the year before, and ManC the year before that), and I don't want to be right. I don't mind Leicester having a go at it. Yes, they play this and that kind of football, but at least they are not oil money infested. There is something romantically pure about it. A bit like that Norwegian guy in the 90s, walking around in wellies and leading the Norwegian national team to be ranked as the world's greatest team for a while. Enjoy it while it last.

Fair enough. I hope we get the results to capatalise when they all play each other

I like it when they cut to the away fans after a goal has been scored but I do agree with you overall.

Maybe they don't, but winning breeds confidence. They've not really experienced a bad run of results, and I do think back-to-back defeats could complete derail them.
With Europa and the FA Cup, I believe we could potentially play 30 more games than Leicester when the season's over. That's quite a bit. I think it's best for them to be out of other competitions. They don't have the depth.
