I admire your optimism. But let's hope you don't disappear when you inevitably hit a rough patch

Yep I was one place off but it was our first season and we took time to adapt but during that time we were still playing well and still didn't lose by more than two and only by two on six occasions. We were in pretty much every game we played. It took us until April to play the way we can, which is the way we started. Had we carried on like that, like we should have, we wouldn't have been in a relegation battle in the first place. Same team now!! Same team at the end of the season too. We're better than West Brom and there's no arguing it now yet you still try ha ha 😂

Lol I give up trying. You've got the big blue blinkers on

I'll only disappear if it becomes impossible to talk about football!

Let's wait and see what's the situation come may

Haha was it that bad as a leicester fan

No blinkers here, this is what I was saying at the staty of last season and I'm still saying it but now the team are showing it week after week.

We have the third best attack in the country on the pitch, not on paper, but on the pitch we do because we've scored more goals than the Champions this year!! We've scored more goals than United, Liverpool, Spurs and everyone else barr City and Arsenal. By my reckoning that's;

Man City 1st
Arsenal 2nd
Leicester 3rd

Arro,

You are pure quality. I strangely admire how stubborn you are.

Stubborn? To a point.

I conceded I misjudged Sanchez and I said if Leicester kept the same team spirit then i'd have Ronaldo over Vardy.

I obviously value our team spirit more than others but that's up to you and everyone else. It doesn't mean I'm wrong though just because I value it more than one world class player. It might not be what you'd choose but I have never witnessed anything like this team in my 35 years watching it. It's unbelievable, so yes I do value it very highly.

So I'm not all that stubborn and I will admit when I'm wrong but if you try to tell me that Spurs' attack is better than ours and that most of your team will walk into ours, then yeah I won't budge.

I've been very stubborn in defending this team since before we kicked a ball in the PL and I'm not about to stop anytime soon. I have been saying this for over a year now and well my prediction is playing out before our eyes.

So are we all in agreement then? If the opportunity to do a straight swap with Madrid came up - Vardy for Ronaldo, its a thanks but no thanks

I thought we'd agreed despite a great start to the season, we'd be top now if we'd played 352!

Cambiasso bigger and better than Ronaldo?!

Greatest wum of all time. Love this guy.

What has Ronaldo achieved compared to Cambiasso, the most decorated Argentinian in history?

They play different positions and both world class and I see you're just the same as everyone else and only judges a footballer on goals scored there are ten other players on the pitch and Ronaldo isn't more important than anyone else! He scores goals, Cambiasso controls games, both equally big names, both equally good pkayeds in their respective positions!

Football is more than just goals

What has Ronaldo achieved compared to Cambiasso, the most decorated Argentinian in history?
--------
Made the wum too obvious with this.

They're different players but both equally as good and for me, Ronaldo is not a bigger name in football than Cambiasso has. More famous because he scores goals but like I've said before, football isn't just about scoring goals! Every position is as important as the next and you don't have one without the other, it's a team sport.

Cambiasso is one of the best in the world in his position and Ronaldo is one of the best in the world in his, so please explain why a forward is better than a midfielder?

Can you name many better players than Cambiasso, in his position throughout history? I can't!

Franco Baresi was one of the best defenders ever, he was brilliant on the ball, read the game superbly, was a rock and a leader and he controlled everyone around him. Pure class but he can't be the best footballer in the world, even though he's one of the best defenders ever?

What about goalkeepers like Banks and Eusebio? These guys were unbelievable. Their reflexes were astonishing and they both commanded their boxes and had great influence on the players in front of them.

But goalkeepers, defenders and midfielders can't be considered the best in the world because they're not forwards? Do you realise how narrow-minded that is?

The one thing I see that most of you don't, is the bigger picture. You look at the surface but I look deeper than that and that's why you think I'm deluded but I'm not.

I'm sure people thought Einstein was deluded, just saying 😉
