Suspect if they win then all will be forgiven.
Personally, I really hope Leicester go down now.

The idiot owners think they should be challenging every year now when in reality they are in a more or less normal position this season.
Disgusting decision

How a team with the super-pacey central defensive partnership of Morgan and Huth could win League 2 let alone The Premier League baffles me
Much of the credit should have gone to Ranieri , a foreign manager I just cannot help liking
Im in the ever growing " Hope Leicester go down " camp ... but only if it dosen't keep Palace up

A striker who enjoyed the season of his life, a collection of low profile yet hardworking players around him, tactics which suited that collective, low expectations meaning no pressure upon them whilst those expected to challenge, most of whom had European distractions, all underachieved for one reason or another (though I don't include Arsenal in that; they did what they always do settling for a runners up spot).
All of which was met with a constant, charming smile by the so-called 'Tinkerman'.
Twenty sixteen saw LCFC become a metaphor for the unlikely underdog winning against the odds - 'doing a Leicester' entering common parlance.
Sadly, twenty seventeen may see that term come to mean something entirely different.

IF they do stay up, it will have been the right decision IMHO.

The thing I always found interesting about them was their amazing run actually began in the last 10-15 games of the previous season when they stayed up after looking nailed on to go down, Ranieri didn't tinker too much apart from a genius signing in Kante.

also signed Mahrez who had an amazing first season - they were also very lucky with injuries and had a settled team throughout the season
Some of Leicester's players need to have a long look at themselves, Vardy has been terrible most of the season, says he was nothing to do with Ranieri's sacking yet has a stormer first game after he has gone - basically looks as if him and a few others had downed tools for Ranieri after he had delivered their best moment of their careers
Players getting bigger contracts seems to have led to bigger egos!

course you can
Injuries are part of the game and can happen due to several factors - you can minimise the risk of some injuries (as you go on about at length on here) but you can't do the same for things that happen during the game due to contact or falling awkwardly
Leicester didn't suffer any significant injuries to their key players all season which is lucky!

You do to an extent....whilst you can manage muscle injuries etc can you really plan for a player getting kicked up in the air and getting injured, breaking a leg in a tackle, being landed on to cause an injury etc. There are loads of injuries you can get playing football that are out of the control of clubs. What if Vardy in the middle of his hot streak last season had fallen down the stairs at home or stood on broken glass like Dave Beasant did.

He didn't sign mahrez Pearson did. But he certainly got the best out of him.
