VillaChris Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Have Leicester got as many points as we did at this point in 08/09 yet? Being serious, that lot are insane. If they can come away from Man. City and Arsenal away unbeaten or even just win one of them...yes they can seriously win the league as they'd have played most of their hard fixtures so only nerves could let them down or a key injury.

If you think arsenal mini run problems is anything but not having coq and cazorla in team then I doubt you watch them much. Giroud scoring double? So you want him to be on 36 goals for the season already? In 33 games? Riiiight... (and some of those games have been sub appearances) How is vardy a top 3 striker? His ability wouldn't be able to cut it at any of the top teams. They're just playing perfect style to suit him which top teams can't/won't play He's the leading scorer in the Premier League so yes he's a top 3 striker.

The_Rev Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Vardy is younger than I am, so he's young. That goal though. Shades of Deano against Ipswich all those years ago. Oh, and a minute before Leicester scored their second goal they did this. It's just like watching Brazil. Wonderful football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Vardy was playing for **** Fleetwood Town in the Conference Premier this time 4 years ago.. How the hell do other clubs land gems like that? I know they signed him when in the Championship but that was still a 1st Division team signing a player in what is the 4th Division? That's quite a punt.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Deano's was better though. - it was further out, and it was at a real football ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 just saw Martial goal. for me that was as good as Vardy with the build up straight from defence and a smashing finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Barkley sure does come across as a stupid/greedy footballer at times. So wasteful Edited February 3, 2016 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Just love how pundits are proclaiming Newcastle are safe on the basis of a few signings...their back 4 still has Dummett in it! Losing tonight to an out of form Everton team without Stones and Lukaku. They're going to need 5 of their last 13 games...they've still got to go away to Chelsea, Liverpool, Leicester, Southampton and Stoke. That is very very tough. Only ones that look winnable are us and Norwich. 7 home games left...Man. City looks a write off and probably Spurs although that is the last day and Spurs may already be in the top 4 and on the beach. Going to put massive pressure on them to win most of the home games v Sunderland (who they always lose too), Palace (think Pardew might be motivated for that one), Bournemouth (have lots of pace on counter attack), Swansea (improving and have a great record at St James since promotion) and West Brom (they should win that as WBA are toss atm although amusing if Berahino scores in that one). All season long I just haven't been seeing what others on here have in Newcastle. Yes they have good spells here and there in games but so do we. What might of course save them is Norwich look very poor aswell but it's going to be tight as Swansea and Bournemouth are pulling away from the bottom 3 now.

gharperr Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) ^^ so little protection for back 4 from midfield and cbs just aren't aggressive / good enough. (in this game anyway)...been redic easy for Everton to play ball to feet for striker or barkley Edited February 3, 2016 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
