I think Leicester would have won everything ever but they were merely jinxed by that dead bloke under a car park.

Nah, he just put the kybosh on Millets shifting excess camping gear in the January sales.

Winter of discount tents?

The TTJ thread is that way ^^^

Well, the two key games this afternoon are currently in Leicester's favour. How interesting...

And yes, I have got better things to do.

Edit: Oh well, not a bad afternoon all told.

Blimey. Leictester draw to struggling Norwich and look like loosing the top spot then all the chasing teams loose. Who would have predicted that?
Ten games to go.

When did Man City last lose three games on the trot? I durst not phone my bro-in-law.

They haven't. Man City won the league cup on Sunday

Three league games.

I wonder how many teams have squandered the titlein the 1st div/Prem league over the past few years.
I remember City in about 1972 ish. Earlier in that season United were also top, but they fell apart.

Newcastle, believe it or not. When King Kevin was manager he did an impassioned press conference in which he said he'd love it if they beat Manchester United (a fancied team at the time) at St James's Park. They didn't and we ended up second. Closest we've been for the hundred year period ending in about 2030.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #61 on:** 04 March, 2016, 11:28:34 am »

In the 1960s it seemed to me that the dreadful Chelsea normally made the early season runnung only to falter at the end.

Well, at least you've got the Texaco Cup, and no one can take it from you.

I'd forgotten about about those, De Sisti! (If I ever knew.) Where they limited to clubs in the bottom half of the division? I had to look it up on wiki - those English flags next to Newcastle's names look really quaint!

pcolbeck · « **Reply #64 on:** 05 March, 2016, 02:58:18 pm »

And now Tottenham draw against a 10 man Arsenal !

Jaded · « **Reply #65 on:** 05 March, 2016, 03:37:08 pm »

Really not looking forward to tonight's match. I want both sides to win!

From my distant memory I think it was English v Scottish teams, but not the top ones. Happy to be corrected.

It has crossed my mind: does Leicester City have a nickname? The Pork pies? The Crisps?

madcow · « **Reply #68 on:** 05 March, 2016, 08:16:20 pm »

The Foxes

Wowbagger · « **Reply #69 on:** 05 March, 2016, 08:18:41 pm »

Of course. I think I knew that.

Leicester are really shaking the foundations of the Premier League.

Funnily enough, I was making a joke about something similar the other day, but in that case it was MU fans, I think.

A nervy win against an improved Newcastle. Not at all a good watch for me.

Still, "the dream continues" (copyright, patent pending, etc) blah blah blah

Peter · « **Reply #73 on:** 15 March, 2016, 10:18:40 am »

I'm not surprised you found it "not a good watch". "Our" away kit is appalling.
