1999

What a team

You know nothing about our team and keep laughing at the fact we've signed Upson (player of the year)
......................................................
This may come as a shock given as you are a font of footballing knowledge but every team has a 'player of the year'.

I still can't stop laughing about Matthew Upson....

Right, so to be clear, this is the most important stat now yes?

So whichever of us has topped the other in the SAME division can once and for all be called the better team?

More importantly JH, when will be the next time?

Jeeze, I've just thought. If Upson was Leicester 'player of the year' then we've been arguing with arro for nothing......

So finally, after all the wumming and so on, JH came up with the real decider as to who is better, the seasons when we are in the same division, which i guess has some merits.

Sooooooooo, drum roll, here it is, the FINAL ANSWER AS TO WHO IS THE BETTER CLUB

Wolves 41 times above WBA
WBA 32 times above Wolves

So there you have it, Wolves have been the better club, it is finally official, and of course, all this ignores the better trophy haul as well.

How many times have we won at your ground? A lot more than you've won at ours
--------------------------

WBA have won 18 times at Leicester's ground
Leicester have won 11 times at WBA's ground

Meanwhile in irony corner:

"Unbeatable? Don't you mean "unbeaten"? Another display of your poor use if the English language!"

The CB scale:

Kompany


Lescott














Upson

Argue with that and it confirms you have the mental capacity of a 1 year old.

So basically you've signed know one except Ulloa

Upson. Literally a walking cripple
And a villa reject
To add to that already squad bursting of premier league experience
Good luck

If you had an ounce of understanding about football you would possibly be able to maintain the idea that it could be possible that a team that walks the Championship could, just could, have a very good team good enough to stay up. None of you are able to comprehend that however.

-------------


For the fifty billionth time, know one has said your won't stay up. But you are LIKELY to struggle due to having a lack of PROVEN premiership players which is ultimately a MAJOR factor in predicting survival. The fact your the only leicester fan arguing, speaks volumes for the realistic ones

... i have yet to see anything that suggests we are going to struggle and indeed several bookies have us in the play
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, in the play, that's great, but that's not the Premier League, you're only in the Championship. I mean, what's a 'massive club' like Wolverhampton Wanderers doing languishing in the Championship with all your PL resources and facilities and a chairman worth £500 million according to Pundit? And how did you come to be in the Third Division?

Gonna be hilarious if WBA don't finish ahead of Leicester now after this thread.
Bookmarking this puppy.

I think you'll find it's arro who's been saying Leicester will finish ahead of Albion and moreover that Albion will be relegated, and that only QPR and Burnley will finish below Albion.
Also gonna be hilarious if Wolves aren't in the play.
Bookmark those puppies, doghead.

I never said you would be relegated, I said there's a good chance because one established team will go down and you're the worst of the rest in my opinion.

With that in mind, I do believe we'll finish above you and at least five other teams, again in my opinion.

All Leicester fans believe we'll stay up, even the most negative! I said we'll finish 11th to 15th which has also been echoed by many, including fans from other clubs. You're the only ones that think differently!!

For the millionth time, Upson is a squad player and Lescott will spend equal amount of time on the treatment table.

Albrighton I will reiterate delivered the most amount of crosses in the league last season but he is very talented as the Villa fans would agree. It's not uncommon for talented players to rediscover their form under a new manager and a new style of football. We will suit his style of play because we use wingers and pace. He has only played in the PL so has plenty of experience.

Schmeichel - easily good enough
Morgan - very solid, expect to be good enough
Moore - young, talented, as above
Wasilewski - 60 caps for Poland, as above
de Laet - possible weakness defending but fastest player in the league and excellent going forward - not sure if he'll be good enough.
Schlupp - as above
James - solid, strong partnership with DD but not sure.
Drinkwater - this boy is class, easily good enough
Mahrez - as above
Knockheart - as above
Vardy - as above, frightens defenders by running with the ball at pace. Wins ridiculous amounts of penalties because he's too quick - I expect to be good enough.
Nugent - great touch, vision and scores sublime goals so I think he'll be good enough.
Ulloa has scored 1 in 2 in two very competitive leagues for two very average teams so I tip him to be good enough too.

Full-backs are potentially week but they're fast and excellent on the ball so could go either and I think we need an experienced defensive midfielder because Hammond isn't good enough.

Foster
Myhill
Wisdom
McAuley
Olsson
Lescott
Yacob
Mulumbu
Baird
Gardner
Sessegnon
Brunt
Morrison
Dorrans
Anichebe
Berahino

All have plenty of PL experience and have proven they are good enough to stay up and even compete with the best in this division on their day.

Most of the culprits for last seasons poor showing have been shown the door and replaced.

Pocognoli, Ideye and hopefully Gamboa and Davidson will be the only unknown quantities - all highly rated by their previous clubs.

We are then targeting a quality winger and another striker on top of the above. Our chairman is trying to ensure we do not have a repeat of last season and is aiming for a return to midtable.

Your knowledge of Albion is as poor as ours is of Leicester, I dont rate Vardy at all but I think Sessegnon is one of the best players outside of the top 6-8, whereas you probably think the opposite. Can we leave it now please until the season starts? This is just going in circles.

I'll give you Foster, Mulumbu and Sessegnon but the rest I don't rate or haven't seen because they've not played in England before so could be good.

Vardy is quality and will frighten teams but he isn't just pace, he's a lot more dangerous than that's. He can run with the ball at real speed and wins free-kicks and loads of penalties because nobody can catch him. He is rapid and faster than any defender in the league by a country mile. He chases everything and gives defenders and keepers no time at all, he highlighted this with our goal against Everton. On top of that he can score goals. I tip him I have a much better season than both Berahino and Anichebe.

I know you will disagree, that's already predetermined!

What you are doing arro, is giving us your opinion and then claiming it's fact because you say so.

This is a very annoying trait.

I had to wiki this Vardy chap to find out who he was. At 27 he has played for Halifax, Fleetwood Town and Leicester. Hardly a glittering career so far. Yes, he seems to have scored a reasonable amount of goals but the difference between the championship and Premier League is huge. I think you are totally underestimating the leap in class you are making.

I totally agree with the above comment by heisenberg. You have a number of annoying traits, but your inability to take your blinkers off is very irritating and probably the reason why their were not many tears when you took yourself to the other side of the world - apparently

By the way, lovely day on Necker Island today. Slight Breeze lazily blowing my 14 inch member

Yawwwn. Just leave it and stop repeating the same thing over and over

OnlyOneAlbion, was just about to post the same until I saw your post! He is like a broken record, I'm sure he thinks the more he repeats himself the more likely we will take it as gospel, although I think it's more likely he is trying to convince himself!

Maybe if we pretend Leicester are the next big thing, and agree they will become a new European force then he might scuttle back under the rock he crawled from!

Vardy is an unearthed gem but it's not so much his goals that will be his biggest asset, it his pace but let's just leave it at that because we will never agree.

Good luck this season and I genuinely mean that and I hope you stay up for Midlands football 👍

Trust me, arro. If Vardy is an 'unearthed gem' then he will NOT be at Leicester for very long.

...and don't worry about us. We'll be fine.

800...
