God rest the chin.

Pizzamorg · 12-19-2015, 03:39 PM

Any transfer rumours for Leicester in January? I'm interested to see what kind of players we could potentially attract given the way this season has played out.

Geoff D · 12-19-2015, 03:56 PM

Fantastic win for Palace at Stoke today, I'd rate that as better than us beating Chelsea or Liverpool away (back when Chelsea weren't a bunch of bums). Level on points with Spurs & Utd, 6th at Christmas, amazing.

Full disclosure:
There is only one person (player or manager) that I truly dislike in all the Prem...Diego Costa.

The Ultimate nightmare for Steed?
Jose being hired on as manager of ManU, yes I said ManU….https://www.dreamteamfc.com/c/man-un...ainst-norwich/

And then come Feb. when the black cats play ManU again, Jose having them in serious contention for the Prem title.

P.S.
I love the drama in this league.

I'm wondering if before today, an ex-manager has ever gotten chants of support from two different stadium crowds all on the same day????

Heck, I’m was hoping that we can woo Mahrez away from you guys.

Geoff D · 12-19-2015, 09:56 PM

Yep, Jose to Utd would be a great result for them.

Lovely day for South London's finest, as Charlton and Millwall both got hammered, and our arch rivals Brighton (spit!) also got battered. Life is sweet.

Ranieri said he and Vardy are not for sale, and Mahrez signed on in the summer for a four year extension. Whether that will mean anything when the offers are put one the table, is a different question entirely.

That said, I've never understood the tendency for the heroes of "smaller clubs" to go sign for big club, already with much bigger names than theirs in every position. You know you're going to be warming the bench for the rest of your career, before ending up in a team like Coventry City or something. You've seen it happen to every player making the same move as you in the past, so why bother? Is the money really more important to you than anything else?

I was expecting it, every team and his mother can get a result there but not us. What a pathetic lot, feel like ripping my season ticket up.

Good win for Palace, very decent 3 points, especially with late goal. It's always all the sweeter.

It won't matter at that stage. We are losing touch with the rest right now. It's only going to get worse with Man City and Liverpool to come. Seriously, who picks these fixtures. We couldn't have had a harder Christmas. I'm sick of the whole bloody lot at the moment. 400 pound a season for this pathetic excuse of a team. Mistake after mistake from the director and a complete failure to take advantage of our near death escape for the last 3 seasons. Unforgivable.

Supporting my team is a bit like smashing your head against a wall once a week.

Every player is for sale at the right price. I get what you are saying. They do it for the money IMO. Look at Jordan Henderson. It's not like he was on pennies here.

Anyway, good win again, tough place to go but credit where it's deserved.

Pizzamorg · 12-19-2015, 11:55 PM

I'll be interested to see how the fixture plays out when it comes around again, I feel like the weather was an extra player in the game today. I don't think Everton would have got the second goal if everyone wasn't slipping over everywhere, but I'm not sure we would have got any of our goals for the same reasons.

tob · 12-20-2015, 12:52 PM

I can't believe Watford are 2 goals up already against Liverpool.

Geoff D · 12-20-2015, 12:58 PM

That second one was almost identical to Newcastle's winner against Spurs the other night. Hopefully Liverpool can battle back for a draw, I don't want either of these sides getting too close to Palace! (Watford a point behind as it stands!)

Pizzamorg · 12-20-2015, 01:10 PM

Watford are killing it this year, I didn't know a newly promoted team could smash it so soon.

Geoff D · 12-20-2015, 03:02 PM

What a result, 3-0. Good luck to them!

This truly is a season to be remembered in the Prem

(no offense to our Liverpool supporters).

Worst for me. Utterly miserable. I am very tribal, I can't enjoy other teams glory. Appreciate it, yes. Be glad for forum friends, yes. Enjoy? Nope lol. Not while my team are in peril.

David LFC · 12-20-2015, 09:07 PM

Shocking result, Henderson was the only one who looked to turn things around. Didn't deserve anything from the game but think the first goal Bogdan did have both hands on the ball.

Klopp said he won't spend in January surely the last 3 games we change his mind and we've Leicester up next I'll be happy with a point and I can't believe I'm saying that.
