Matchday 31

[Art Vandelay_]

Wed hate lo lose 5-1 on aggregate to them. That's for sure.

Hey, could be worse I guess.

At least we can tank the Europa league to focus on the league title

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Certified legendary thread status yet?

I'm going to PM admin. See if they can get the bay prefix "meltdown". So apt here.

 

[Zidane98]

I was going to ask you the same thing. Now please stop, I've explained myself properly despite you bizarrely and desperately trying to pick apart the actual definition of paraphrasing.



Yeah makes for some interesting reading!

Oh you've clearly explained about how you bullshitted about what LFC fans said on here.

That much is clear.

I'll leave all the smoke and mirrors stuff to you thanks very much.

 

[jod23]

Do you know what, the proof will be in the pudding when the window is over and we will see who ends up where.

I wonder if the Liverpool guys would be big enough to apologise to SM and Jatz if Leicester retain all their key players..

Why would I apologise for talking about football. Have I offended someone so they need an apology? Leicester's player might leave Leicester! Shock, horror.

It's like talking to small children.

 

[Zidane98]

Going to be quite awkward if you don't win the title

#standbySM

Hahah, I'd just read his melt about paraphrasing above this post. Then read your response and I genuinely laughed out loud.

Well played. Hahah...

EDIT - Im still laughing at this WorldCup2022OZ. Maybe im just super tired.

At least they're in with a shot, and can console themselves with CL football next season.

Not really. We were behind Leicester when we made this decision. So if we don't win the league it probably means they haven't dropped enough points. Nothing you can do about that.

Europa is an unwanted distraction in that goal in that it guarantees CL football. Something we have already earned. Made the right call to get out.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

For mentioning the possibility that players may or may not leave Leicester?

How ridiculous.

I think you've been more insistent that they will leave rather than "may" leave to be honest mate. Pretty sure we wouldn't have reached the stage we are at had you been less forthright about it. Plus the fact that you've turned the debate with SM into a mud slinging affair also suggests an apology should be in order.

Quite happy with our chances in the Europa league and also CL football next season. Even if it pained you to admit it before

You are far less likely to win the Europa league than Spurs are to make CL or win the title. There are far better sides left in that competition than you.

Nah mate. Someone saying a player may or may not leave is not saying they definitely will at all.

As for SM he's been called out on making shit up, that's hardly a mud slinging affair.

 

[jod23]

So to sum up the large 6 pages.

I suggest if larger clubs came in for Leicesters players it will be hard to keep them.

Melting from SM, Jatz and Spurs fans.

The end.

Can we all move on now?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Lol so even if Leicester keep their players the scousers won't admit to being wrong

Says it all really

Nobody is right or wrong, we are just talking about possibilities in the summer.

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

 

[Zidane98]

Still we are a reasonable chance to win it.

I always found this line to be ironic as it is an absolute.

George Lucas really lost his script writing ability

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Anyone care to dig. Pretty convinced the talk was in absolutes

 

[jod23]

Still we are a reasonable chance to win it.

We're probably second favourites to win it, the only problem is, we drew the favourites.

 

[SM]

Still we are a reasonable chance to win it.

I wouldn't say reasonable.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Still we are a reasonable chance to win it.

"Reasonable"

Err... Ok.

Not even reasonable to get out of your current tie

Do that and then we'll talk.

Dont get me started on the prequels. Worst. Movies. Ever.

I love George Lucas for creating Star Wars. I hate him for almost destroying it.

You calling me a sith lord mate!?

If you want some, ill give it yer.

 

[SM]

Sorry but that's just nonsense. Players look out for themselves. Just because you can offer CL football for one season doesnt mean players will stick around.

If Barcelona come in for Mahrez (they wont of course) then what will he be thinking. Hmm Ill stay at Leicester cos we are playing in the CL for one season and then probably wont ever again.

Or shall I go to the European Champions who play CL and compete for trophies every year and double or triple my wages and play with Messi and Suarez instead of Drinkwater.

Tough choice.

This whole Leicester culture or whatever is crap. If big clubs come calling, Leicester will be like any other club. The players will want to move.

Who's saying any Leicester fans would begrudge him going.

All Im saying is if big clubs come calling, the players will move. Leicester fans seem to think their club is immune to this.

Contracts mean nothing in football.
They will play CL next season, probably never again.
They are the best team in England right now. Probably wont be in future.
Amazing culture and environments happen at every club.
Im sure they would want to play for Pep too or Enrique or Mourinho etc...
Leicester can attempt to put foot down. Barely ever works. At any club. When a player wants a move it usually happens.
Why would Leicester not sell to other English teams?

Im not saying Leicester's players are definitely off in the summer. But if big clubs calling, Leicester will be like any other smaller club, the players will want a move.

Im just not buying this whole Leicester is special crap. Players are mercenaries.

Ive said my peace. Leicester like every club wont be immune to bigger clubs stealing their players.

That's all.

Included the last one because he said that he'd said his piece 7 pages back.

Also found lots of fun quotes belittling Leicester so yay! I've found the posts that I was paraphrasing.

 

[DBAH0]

Do even follow football. Payet to West Ham was a regulation deal. One player moving to another club. Both clubs are of similar size and Payet was not a hot property like he is now.

Cabaye was unwanted by PSG and not many suitors were interested in him. Pardew the connection with Cabaye from his Newcastle days. There you go.

Pretty easy. Neither deal had anything to do with London.

Payet led the top 5 leagues last season in assists though, he really should have been a hotter property than what he was.

But then again, the really big clubs aren't into signing a 28 year old unless he's an out and out Star.
