Except what I posted was not "complete twaddle", as everything I said was correct. This poster DID spend all last season saying those things.
What Ranieri said doesn't matter, if he instilled that mindset into his players all the way through the season I doubt he'd have won the league. I don't believe the manager truly believed that, and if he did that's besides the point. You only joined in April so you won't have seen it but others will know what I'm talking about. A poster noticed him being negative so all I did was comment on how negative he was being all last season, meaning that the posts he's making now aren't that surprising. I did lurk for a long time before I joined so know that he was very negative about the title, but I honestly couldn't blame him. There were plenty of people (pro's and fans of football) who doubted Leicester until the very end. Nearly all said they would fade eventually. I believe Ranieri said the same to his players. Great football lads, but you've won nothing yet, it can all change in an instant as evidenced by their previous season. Flying high then BAM, they crashed and just about stayed up. |

Interesting comments from Pep on Joe Hart. Really didn't confirm he will be staying let alone be #1.
He was a good goalkeeper, who was hyped by the media so much that fans believed him to be a world class goalkeeper. Unfortunitely hart believed the hyoe too and developed a terrible ego. Anyway, when a good keeper has a poor run of form, suddenly they are an average keeper, and thats what hart is going though. Thats not good enough for city, and after he threw a few in at the euros, it is no surprise that he will soon be playing for everton. |

No surprise to see you being so dismissive about both the player, and the club. |

Fair do's, I concede you were talking about said poster, but can you blame him for being pessimistic considering we are talking about Leicester winning the BPL? When Ranieri the coach of his team was saying almost the same?

It is hard to say within DS guidelines what sky is guilty of. But i will put it this way. Sky only think that there is only four clubs competing in the pl. When i looked there was 16 other teams. The hype surrounding manchester is over the top. Mourinho is the most arrogant manager and the PL is going to be truly unbearable with him in it. His arrogance is rubbing onto his players already IMHO

Well not exactly flying high as in at the top, but I'm sure they were playing above and beyond their means for quite some time before they crashed. My memory evades me.

Again, no-one's forcing you to watch it.
Pretty sure that Leicester were nailed on to go down, until the last 8-9 games of the season, when they went on a big run. Of course it will. I thought they were doing well for longer than that. |

I just checked. Yep I was way out. They were in top 10 after seven games then they dropped to bottom of the league until as you say the last 9 or so games.
I thought they were doing well for longer than that. A word on leicslad: there are plenty of pessimistic football fans on here, but his posts have often been clearly malevolent. For example, back when they were flying high at the top of the championship he could be found saying this: Quote:
I am so confident that leicester will fcuk up promotion that i will put a bet on them actually playing championship footie next season

He has gloried in Leicester's slip ups, and ended up making a massive fool of himself in the process. More or less everyone here is wise to him now.

Guardiola will drop Hart for tomorrow's game apparently.
Not sure if it counts as being 'dropped' if it's a new manager who hasn't yet picked someone, but you get the point. |

Morning all! Happy new season day! ![]() Best of luck to everyone and their teams for the opening day. My team competes in League One so my season as a fan started last week, but I still follow Prem football avidly. Quote:

Shame that it is only Sunderland, as I doubt that they will be able to take advantage of the change of goalkeeper.
As far as I'm concerned, neither Hart nor Caballero is good enough to play for Manchester City. Neither is of Champions League quality, and only Hart is good enough on his day to play in the Premier League against the top teams. I also think the fact that Joe Hart is yet again the #2 goalkeeper at Manchester City will further call his position as England #1 into doubt. Fraser Forster could well be finding himself between the sticks for the Lions more often in future. |

Been talk all summer that pep wants a new keeper. Pep wants Marc-Andre ter Stegen but I not sure barca will let him go in this transfer window. |

Soccer AM seem to have dispelled suggestions it was stuck in the 90s by deciding to have a quintessentially 1997 looking and sounding band to open the show.
