As for the rat Dewsbury-Hall, it doesn't take a genius to predict that his team will win the league. Pretty sure even slowpoke called it at the start of the season

That is saying something

[djr8369]

Was he playing in a different game?

"Very disappointed. I felt like that was a game we didn't deserve to lose. First half, created a lot of chances, probably should have been more goals in front."

Think they had one chance in the first half and that was after we played ourselves into trouble.

 

[Chris1987]

Naah mate, no tears. It may have been massive for you, just another game for us. Mind the gap!

The sour grapes . You were hammered there's no denying it. Not a level playing field when you start off with £100M more than anyone else. Still let's see where both clubs are in a couple of seasons. Your lot were shit today

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

After the dissent he didn’t make any yellow worthy challenges. Winks somehow staying on the pitch however…

Winks would have to have sent himself off as he was reffing the game while that other bloke in black blew the whistle for him.

 

[HadjiChippo]

One chance with I think Casadei (?) going just past the post that I remember. We went closer with Saka 5 mins in and were clearly on top the first 25 mins. Got to the point up until the penalty I wasn’t worried about them at all. They never had control and barely threatened us from open play.

He made one just before he came off that could've got him a second yellow

 

[HadjiChippo]

The one on KDH? Maybe with the shit game this ref was having but not a chance for me, didn’t even catch him at all and in a nothing area of the pitch.

That’s what got Maresca booked right?

Mad that for “just another game” we have loads of opposing fans creating accounts and posting on here. That doesn’t really happen for any of our other games. Why are there so many Leicester fans on here @astleyfox ? You don’t have very many fans in real life, so what’s the reason?

It was from our attack and they were breaking , Kasey got nowhere near the ball and was fortunate in my opinion not to get a second yellow

 

[Jamesimus]

The Dewsbury-Hall post match interview is some of the purest accidental comedy gold I have seen in some time. I wish I could inject it straight into my veins. It’s great, funny, cringeworthy, embarrassing.

 

[Jamesimus]

Fortunately the ref at that point had probably remembered that Harry Winks had made 37 fouls previously and only been given a yellow, so Kasey was rightly let off. If you’re going to keep your cards in your pocket, do it for everyone (apart from Fatawu).

I thought I was hearing things driving back home.

Vintage Clive!

[StrettoBoy]

What a great result today.

We were one down wth about 11 minutes to go and fought to the very end. We didn't even go very defensive - the way Leicester did - when we went a goal up.

Very proud of the lads. MR is putting a really good squad together. There seems to be a great team spirit as well.

 

[mmttww]

Dewsbury Hall in his interview saying it’s our big day and it’s like we’ve won promotion already

they’re so salty

Especially when you clock their reaction to the penalty. Winks looks like he's celebrating a CL winner.

 

[covcity4life]

Poundland Pep has lost it, talking conspiracy theories against Leicester, “annoyed people” wanting them to lose their winning streak, weird decisions going against them etc.,

this guys gonna get absolutely exposed in the Prem.
Wanted Palmer sent off too for???

Such hyperbole. Calm down

This bias stuff is so childish.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Especially when you clock their reaction to the penalty. Harry Winks looked like he was celebrating a CL winner.

Bang on it was why the crying over mve was embarrassing at the end

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

He was pleased with his decision

 

[Matt smith]

This was without wright as well, lots of people were concerned about whether we had enough firepower today

 

[David O'Day]

Think they had one chance in the first half and that was after we played ourselves into trouble.

yeah apart from the one their italian midfielder put just wide i can't really think of any more chances apart from the pen

 

[HadjiChippo]

Such hyperbole. Calm down

This bias stuff is so childish.

How is that hyperbole? Nothing over the top at all. Every decent manager in the league would have Leicester 1st with that squad and money spent.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Genuinely shocked at how badly they’ve taken this loss. How absolutely embarrassing for all involved with their club.

For a Manager to create a bizarre half arsed conspiracy and their “star player” to act like a a petulant child is mental.

Spoilt and entitled team who have made themselves look very unprofessional and bitter.

Irony is, they were celebrating basic defending like they’d won the league today; shielding a ball out or making a tackle were greeted with over the top excitement and celebration from their players and fans.

It doesn't always work like that. It's been a great appointment by them. They didn't look like conceding till they did. I can understand why he said he was happy with their performance

It's a derby. Nothing wrong with doing that when down to 10 men

 

[joemercersaces]

I think my dog could manage that Leicester squad to be top of the championship.

 

[skybluericoh]

Collins made a good save in the second half, can’t remember who off possibility the wedding venue.

 

[Greggs]

You don't know what hyperbole means, it was a typo, you meant to say hamster.

So where was the hyperbole in the comment you replied to?

if Maresca manages games like he did today, they’ll get taken apart in the Prem, regardless of ref decisions. Even their fans were amazed by how poor he handled today.

It was from a shot by Cannon

 

[Great_Expectations]

Well there is when you then claim the opposing team are over celebrating the fact they’ve won the game.

That’s won - after coming from behind against league leaders in a “derby” - not shielding the ball out for a goal kick with 20 minutes left to play.

 

[quinn1971]

What a game, problem was they thought they just had to turn up, they didn’t account for the fact we wanted it more, every single player gave it everything, when the team
sheet went up i feared the worst but robins seems to get the best out of whatever team we put out,

That he will get taken apart in prem. By all accounts he looks like a decent manager and learning from pep always helps.

Your just having a go cos he's Leicester manager.

The hamster is up his arse

Fair enough, your threshold for what is “hyperbole” is a lot lower than mine. Every game next season in the Prem will be tougher than this one, we’ll see how he does when his squad isn’t a league/level above the competition.

 

[David O'Day]

they say we celebrated like a cup final but they were having group hugs and hi fives every time they got a goal kick

it's ruined them and it is lovely to see
