Anyone watch Leicester's pre season against Everton? I hope Leicester are that consistent in the actual League. Everyone is assuming we'll have a tough time because we've got to start the League on some really tough matches but I think if we can remain that consistent we won't do so bad. Our goal is just to survive but I reckon we can finish mid table if not higher.

Arsenal sign David Ospina.

I wish you the best but as I'm sure you know, it is exceptionally difficult to survive in the premier league. I should know, my team has been scraping to safety for eight seasons now!

Oh I know - at the end of the day it's all about money and right now Leicester need to aim for the money so they can sign Premier League level players. That isn't to say they don't have some great players, but when they come up against the big teams like Man City or Man United or Chelsea etc who have stars across the board, I'm expecting Leicester to just get annihilated.

I don't think it be that bad nigel pearson is a good manager and if you can stay in the premier league this season the club can build from there.

Yeah we just gotta remain consistent and dig our heels in which is why it is such a shame we've got such a difficult start to the season. But this friendly against Everton gave me hope.

Before we get to you we've got Everton in the first match of the season which obviously I'm confident about after the friendly but I really doubt Everton will be that sloppy in the actual League.

We started the Friendly weak but we showed some magnificent skill, especially players like Fletcher, Mahrez and Schmeichel and I'd love to see how we look when we're serious - especially when it comes to players like Albrighton and Nugent.

It'll be a tough match though as I reckon Everton went into that friendly with little interest in the match and the assumption they'll win - it annoys me when teams do that with friendlies. Either way, they wont make that mistake twice.

Then we'll probably be annihilated by Chelsea lol but they were my late Granddad's team and when I was a teen I used to support them with him and I have a lot of fond memories. So whoever wins that is fine with me.

He also loved Arsenal and Fulham, so I don't expect us to win against Arsenal who are a great team but Arsenal know how to put on a good game so I'm sure I'll really enjoy losing. Haha.

Sunderland are a strong squad - and my Dad's girlfriends team - so I can't wait for him to get caught between that haha. Who wins? His son or his girlfriend?

It was unreal when he made that mistake at Man City that cost us the win and the away fans were chanting his name over and over.
