Paid Members Carbomb Posted October 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2017 No sympathy for Leicester, a real underdog-face-turned-shitty-heel story. The way they treated Ranieri was disgraceful, and I couldn't believe the sheer ungraciousness and ingratitude so many Leicester fans were showing in the wake of his firing, claiming that he was only finishing the job Nigel Pearson started. Absolute bollocks. Pearson's a good manager, but there was no way he would have won the Premier with that team. Particularly shit when you consider all those fans who were singing his praises to the sky only a few months previously. Worse than the Arsene Out/In Wenger We Trust lot.

MVP RULZ Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 This was always going to happen though wasn't it, I predicted this to my Brother when he was appointed Full Time that he wont last the year The Story has been played out so often Manger gets sacked, Unproven Caretaker takes over, results suddenly pick up, caretaker becomes permanent manager, results start to slide towards the end of the season, New season starts and the team gets off to a poor start and the Manager is sacked Happens a lot especially in the lower leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a lot of that stuff on social, and in comments on articles (I know, I know). I guess maybe I'm ascribing too much to a vocal minority, but there were so many coming out with that shit, and so many agreeing with them. Their entire angle seemed to be to credit everyone but Ranieri; as far as they were concerned, LCFC won the Premiership because of the team Pearson built, because of the money that the owners put in, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly that Shrews ball came out followed by 66 and I just stood in silence. Knew the next ball out would be 65 and us. Telford is a great tie for us, two phoenix club a home draw and a chance at the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2017 I am so fucking proud of Tottenham tonight. A draw that honestly feels like a win. And we didn't just go and sit behind the ball all night to try and get a 0-0, we had our chances and could conceivably have won. Sissoko and Vertonghen were fantastic. And Winks as well. With Dortmund dropping points, what a great night for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people forgot how good Leicester looked at the back end of the season they escaped relegation and were playing every team off the park (saw a few games and they were magnificent even in the games they lost), Of course no one could predict they would go on and win the title the following season but the football was similar and in hindsight if you was to watch the games at the back end of the season and the title winning season without knowing the context of the season you would think both sides were quality. Ranieri added his own touch, experience, calmness & confidence to the team to add that extra sprinkle, but the foundations & make up of that side was Pearson. Shakespeare leaving is not really a surprise, Leicester will probably adopt the Watford (sometimes Chelsea) model now and just change manager on a year to year basis.
