Man City v Leicester

[Whitechapel]

Match day chat.

 

[silkyman]

Meh, I don't care about this game. I was watching SSN earlier and apparently it's all about SUPER SUNDAY when we have the rare treat of 4th v 15th and 13th v 5th!

It's all going off, Brian.

 

[Destruction]

Aguero to score.

 

[Stevencc]

Aguero to score.

And Hart to have shots that hit the post credited to him as "world class saves".

 

[Dirty Harry]

Imagine Sky putting more emphasis on the games they are broadcasting and not the one a rival broadcaster is showing. Another conspiracy against City! So many people want to keep them down, the plucky underdogs them.

I can't decide if I find Bournemouth being involved in "Super Sunday" either hilarious or nauseating.

No... You see... It was kind of like a sort of joke?

Taking the piss out of United and Chelsea about how far they had dropped this season combined with a dig at Sky for their traditional hyperbole around whatever scraps they have left.

Like a retired lift engineer, it worked on more than one level.

Hilariating should be a word.

 

[JimJams]

So 4-0 Leicester, get your house on it.

United are two points worse off are two more points away from City than Arsenal and Spurs. City spent over £100m net and are struggling against Leicester.

Besides, twice the number of people will watch Chelsea vs United, so Sky are the winners.

 

[silkyman]

Yeah.... It was still a joke. A quip. A gag.

 

[silkyman]

So 4-0 Leicester, get your house on it.

5-1 for a Leicester win seems rather stupidly good value.

Anyway, this is going to be the confidence destroying massacre that starts the slippery slope leaving City to win the league at a canter.

So yeah... 4-0 Leicester.

(Note for Mr Slater. This is also a joke. The setup is misdirection which uses the fact that both clubs share a part of their name. It's the from the juxtaposition between the perceived overconfidence of the writer and the eventual meek acceptance of expected defeat that what small amount of humour anyone might care to find, is found.)

 

[silkyman]

Hart, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Demichelis, Kolarov, Toure (C), Fernandinho, Silva, Delph, Sterling, Aguero

Caballero, Clichy, Sagna, A.Garcia, Fernando, Celina, Iheanacho

Injury's kicking in now. Two kids on the bench. (Not counting Iheanacho)

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

3-0 City

 

[JimJams]

I'd like to make a special request that MISTERMAGIC stays the fuck away from watching this match.

Thanks.

 

[The Iron]

Blimey what a start for Leicester.

 

[PDS]

There is just something eye catchingly brilliant about Leicester's Sunday league style of play

Thanks.

I started watching after 20 minutes and nothing has happened. It's been dismal Leicester as usual.

However, I plan to take a nap in the second half. Leicester can go back to playing football then.

 

[JimJams]

No joke our game went down a level about 20 minutes in.

 

[Tesl]

Leicesters style is something we are useless against, pressing everywhere and pace against our slow defence. Fortunately we looked better after the first 20 minutes so there's still hope we get something out of this.

A loss is a disaster though, given Leicester have such a quiet fixture list otherwise they probably become favourites with a 6 point gap...

 

[Tesl]

Yep.

We can't defend, this is over now.

 

[seashell]

Leicester are insane.

 

[Jockney]

My mother's side of the family are Leicester City season ticket-holders, so could you kindly please stop being so fucking useless, Citeh...

 

[JimJams]

If Pellegrini has sense he goes 3 at the back. That worked for Chelsea.

 

[The Iron]

3-0 WOW

 

[Jarv]

Why did City extend their stadium, Loads of empty seats in every single block apart from where the away fans are

 

[Jackinky]

This is a staggering game.
