What Leicester are showing is that we have talented players wasting away in the lower leagues for flash in the pan players who are completely useless, or think that they're above the Sport in some cases.

What?

I totally disagree, in-fact I'll tell you right now that Owen is the best English player I've ever seen in my lifetime, better than Gascoigne, better than Barnes, better than Shearer, better than Rooney.

At 17 he was just as good as Pele was when he was 17, between the age of 17 and 22 before he started to pick up bad injury's, Owen was the best player in the World, above Brazilian Ronaldo.

Remember the goal against Argentina, what about the Hat-trick in Germany or the lethal finish in the World cup quarter final against Brazil or the Owen Cup final, as an Arsenal fan I'm sure you remember that.

Owen played for Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United, 3 of the Worlds biggest clubs. Vardy's had a good season and half for Leicester, let's not get carried away.

Twice Premier league golden boot winner, Premier League player of the year winner and a Ballon d'Or winner. He also won the BBC sports personality of the year at the age of 18.

Vardy's had a phenomenal season, but let's see if he can keep it up before comparing him to Michael Owen.

Bib: now I know you are a pi$$ taker. And to think you had me fooled with the sincerity of your posts. :laugh:

I know I say this every week and am wrong but I do think the LCFC title challenge will go wrong (Spurs will win) and I think this West Ham game will be the beginning of the end of Leicester's dreams.

There's a bizarre rumour flying around that LEICESTER are trying to lure ex Chile manager Jorge Sampaoli (who won Copa America last year) to be another Ranieri's no 2 /assistant. Which would be a crazy audacious coup as he was initially the first choice favourite to replace Mourinho at Chelsea but Abromovic was worried at his lack of English (Conte knows basic English and not nothing as widely reported). If true this is as crazy as them trying to get to Ronaldinho in January.

Not at all, Owen was terrorising and ripping apart defences in the best league in the World at 17, what league was Pele playing in at that age? Ok he happened to be in a World cup winning team at 17 (and played his part), but individually on a weekly basis, he wasn't doing what Owen was.

Owen's was 18 when he got to play in the World cup and showed the World what he's all about, getting in to the team of the tournament.

I understand your shock at me comparing Owen to the great Pele, but don't underestimate how good Owen was in his early career.

Oh trust me I know exactly how "good " Owen was as an 17/18 year old and he was not fit to lace Pele's third pair of boots*. He was a kid who did well, was better than the other English kids and showed potential. Nothibg more nothing less.To compare him to the greatest player of all time, a world cup winner at 17, three time winner (would have been 4 had he not got injured in 1966, sorry England) is quite frankly an insult.

It's the same sort of mentality which compares lightweight mediocrity Sharapova to greatness Serena, Garcia to Tiger Woods, Tyson Fury to Tyson, Joe Root to Brian Lara, average voiced Adele to vocal goddess Aretha Franklin. Just plain wrong and 100% offensive. Hmmmmmmmmm. :cloud::cloud: :fist::fist::nono::nono::inamood::inamood: :notimpressed::notimpressed::hmph: :rant::rant::rant::facepalm:

Gonna get dicked today

Vardy went from hero to zero within a space of 15 to 25 minutes.:joker:

Vardy has Done this a few times this season and got away with it.

To be honest, he probably needs a break. Luckily for Leicester they do have other goalscorers: The likes of Ulloa, Okazaki, Albrighton, Gray and Drinkwater need to step up to the plate. Can see Mahrez is getting very lazy again.

Schmeichel off to Barcelona?

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...Leicester.html

He'll be familiar with fellow newbies Kante and Mahrez. Blimey is there a top team who don't want Leicester players?

I like Adele's voice more, less shouting and more singing from her imo.

But back on topic Owen would've been a Pele for England if he hadn't have suffered constant injuries.

No offence but your obviously a pop fan rather than a soul, rnb , music of black origins fans.

Everybody likes Pop Music, they're lying if they're saying otherwise as there's so many different styles of Pop Music around it's hard to dislike them all.

But no I'm more of a Rock/Indie/Folk person tbh, I also don't mind Reggae and proper R&B and not just the ones being tagged as R&B because they're black.:joker:

Apart from Rock though I do tend to like more gentle singing voices more than the constantly loud ones as my problem with the loud singers is that it stops becoming a song and more of just showing off how loud you can sing.

Explaining Leicester's rise to Americans

so they loose their top striker

and then record their biggest win of the season

wow

Jamie Vardy tends to score 1 goal a game but is fairly onsistent (very good mins to goal ratio) and creates assists. I don't think he has scored a hattrick all season.

Also LCFC needed to put a message out to Spurs and Arsenal (who were still in the EPL race before the Sunderland draw) that they are not a one man team.

Ulloa (whom I'm no fan of) needed to put a message out that he's not a sub par championship level journeyman. And fair play he's been better in later stages of this season (last grasp Norwich goal, last gasp penalty against West Ham etc)

The Mahrez story

Congratulations Leicester (and local star Mark Selby in snooker), well deserved.

"In the history of betting, certainly since it was legalised in 1961, a [single event] winner with odds of 5,000-1 has never happened," says Simon Clare from the betting firm Coral. "Every bookmaker is crying out in pain.

Odds in August 2015 more likely than Leicester winning eg Pm Cameron becoming AV new manager

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-ze...t$category p$7

I did see the ante post price 5000-1 odds for Leicester (as well as Bournemouth) and thinking that was OTT just too big a price for a team who ended the season strongly , and with an experienced new manager who had come #2 in EPL, the price underestimating Leicester (obviously i never thought they win title but never had them down as relegation fodder either, thought they'd be mid table as they ended the season well and i knew about Kante and how good he was).

Imagine Poch #2 with Spurs ,gets sacked by Levy and manages Coventry in EPL in 12 years time and wins title. 5000-1 would be the odds. This price is just an insult to Ranieri.

""Lie-kester."
"No, Leicester."
"Less-ester?"
"No, Leicester. As in Lester."
"Oh. Why is it pronounced like that?"
Trying, and failing, to explain the mystery of English phonetics can be a daily task for Brits living in the US."

This is me everytime I have to explain my name to Brits :nono:

:joker:

Seems folks around world are confused, especially about, getting the win when they didn't even play.
