Football Banter

Well the Wally is out & the fat waiter is in!!

Benitez is a good manager and knows what he is trying to do, but doesn't exactly go in for attractive attacking football. Also he seems to spend ridiculous money on certain players and than blame the board for not giving more money when they turn out to be busts. I was certainly not too upset when he ditched WestHam for Madrid and I am even more relieved now.

well It will be a memorqble FA Cup weekend if Watford win today

What a difference a week makes...
Last week Newcastle looked a team of total losers...
Newcastle bring in Benitez and last night they were very unlucky not to win the match... They were the better team but still managed another defeat.
But it was a vast improment on recent performances

I do think that after this weekend there is no way Villa can survive the drop and looking more likely the Magpies are down too

Thought they drew 1-1

^ Look at the date on the quoted post, it is not about yesterday's match.

I guess when we look back where Leicester finished last season and where they are now, I think what has been the difference between their performances this season and last season has been Ranieri.
He has totally transformed the team!! I really would love them to win because it has been an incredible, unpredictable season and certainly I would say that Claudio's tactics certainly have made the other managers think I guess. To an extent I feel the only way Leicester can lose the title if teams were to play better quicker counter offensive football. Leicester have shown how quick they are on the break too.
I guess the title ca nbe done and dusted if Leicester can win as many games as possible in April and I suspect at sme point Vardy may not play in all the games.

I don't know what the stats are when concerning how Leicester have performed when Vardy is in the team and when he is not in the team, but certainly he is red hot favourite for Player of the Year award

Not really because the last 9 games of last season they were the best team in europe taking 22 from them 9 games not even bayern and real madrid were doing that

that said he took pearsons team and added a little more to it but pearson does deserve credit
