If we win this it will be the result of the season so far.
1-1

They don't play like Arsenal, though. Leicester won't subject us to waves of attack unless we are completely open. They let you have the ball and play on the break. Lot of their goals come in the second half. That's obviously a danger to us, but I'm not expecting them to come flying out the traps.

suppose it's stood for a while though. i don't recall much of a fuss when ruud did it; maybe time has blurred the details.

Ruud's was spread over two seasons which gives it lesser value.

Does it?

I want us to win 4-1 with Vardy scoring a consolation in the last minute.

Strangely, I can see us doing OK today. The way Leicester play might suit us. I'd be more concerned/bored if we were playing a team that sit back. I'm not massively convinced by Leicester and I can see us nicking it.

1-2.

When Vardy got to 9 people were talking about how he'd achieved a record then because "he's done it properly"

I don't recall a big deal when Ruud got to 10. I remember Sturridge got to 8 and there was a £#%&!-fest.

Have we got any players left?

Top of the league by 7.30pm

That's a LOT of stoppage time. ..

EDIT : Thought we were the lunchtime game.

Erm, excuse me....

Leicester can't defend at all, so we'll certainly get some chances. I think Lingard will be suited to this game as we need the pace, and their defence is very wobbly. Martial, Memphis and Lingard will create chances.
They'll just do their usual, and very effective, counter attacking. Vardy and Mahrez will surely target Blinds lack of pace, so that will be interesting to see how that goes. They're a decent side, but looking at the amount of goals they concede I think they're really riding their luck. They could quite easily be mid table, and after their run of games coming up, they may well be.

Should be a good game though.

draw.

Only a convincing win will make me happy. Watching united is exhausting these days.

Leicester... Should be a 2 goal away win

The 2 players who will have the biggest influence on this game are Rooney and Vardy. Wayne showing no signs that he can be the game changer today. Swap Rooney for Vardy (Alan Sugar style - The Apprentice) and I'd subscribe to your prediction.

I'm not watching it . It's too £#%&!ing boring . I keep tuning in all giddy and its soul crushingly tedious shite .


It's not utd IMO it's .... I don't know what the £#%&! it is tbh ........but its not the team I grew up dreaming of playing for .

I'm out .

Well that ain't happening.

All the £#%&!ing cosmic turds are aligning for an excruciatingly shit evening's football. That rat faced, wicked witch chinned @#%&! Vardy is looking to break a record set by one of our players, we could possibly go top with a win and Leicester play the kind of fast aggressive football that saw us utterly implode at Arsenal. All signs point to yet more crushing disappointment.

If we manage a win i'll be absolutely stunned.

1-3

LvG is executing Brendan's death by football better than Brendan ever did

Vardy is going to dive for a bogus penalty and be the toast of the nation.

Again.

injuries will hurt us more than leicester. and then leicester will hurt us.

Golden scenario? 3-0 United win then feet up tonight in front of motd.
Think about it .....
