    Got to be honest I was about to hit post 10 seconds before the goal

    Ssnchez was getting it
    Wenger was out
    Ox was useless
    Rambo was a selfish prick
    Atkinson was getting a bullet

    Then boom, fine lines from being an annoying negative poster and one overly positive dreaming of a league

    That was a tad tense. Now to see if Spurs trip up this afternoon.

    Me too, couldn't see the deadlock being broken and expected it to be like all the poor results we've had lately (before Bournmouth).

    Great to be back in the mix fully now, though I think the trips to White Heart Lane and Old Trafford will ultimately be our undoing in the end.

    I think we will beat united next week and lose to spurs.

    I think Spurs are the biggest threat for the title although a loss for them today could derail them a small bit

    In fairness some of those criticisms are objectively fair. Sanchez was awful today and Ramsey was his usual headless self at a crucial time.

    Delighted for Danny.

    A number of posters in here had faith in him and he's delivered in a huge game.

    Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke :rolleyes: He will look back at that goal for the rest of his life, better than anything he did at Man United for sure. Our confidence will be sky-rocket high after that result, now let's beat Barca 3-1 at home (yes, I believe we will win, even put a bet on it :D)

    That Match thread truely brought out the worst in the Leicester Bandwagon (closet united,liverpool, chelsea, man city,spurs fans)

    People really hate arsenal and I'm delighted Danny shut them all up

    Worst of seen Sanchez play he ran around headless for most of it and got too hyped up when they went to 10

    Last time I was this nervous/pumped for a match was in 1989, and we all know how that turned out.

    Get pumped more ****ing often please

    Amazing stuff made my week that

    I wouldn't say people hate Arsenal, every match thread it's just boards rivalry mostly

    Outside of posters here most wouldn't begrudge Arsenal a title

    I love the banter on here it makes games live Sunderland/United and Villa/Pool more watchable, you just can't take anything posted too serious

    It's all fine margins but Ranieri erred today IMO. Once we got Walcott on we could've been exposed big time on a counter-attack in midfield. Letting us attack and attack just meant that by the law of probability we were bound to get at least one no matter how bad our shooting is. By the end Leicester had been run completely ragged.

    Nice one, it's not gonna be me today. :P

    I saw you almost post a smiley emote in the match thread and I knew what had to be done :P

    With 10 men though had they came at us we 'could' have destroyed then he was 10 seconds from taking a point

    I don't know if it's better than what he did at United, that goal against them in the FA cup was pretty ****in sweet :pac:

    Had to walk away from the TV 3 times, missed both goals. Will have to watch MOTD tonight:)

    Leicester have lost more games to Arsenal in the league this year than to every other team combined.

    Not exactly "come at us" but have some kind of intent on the ball. They had no outlet at all when clearing the ball.

    Can't remember the last time I celebrated an Arsenal goal like that.

    Woke the baby up but I'll take the inevitable heat from that any day if we score more like that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    I can the day we battered United 3-0 at the emirates that's the last time I lept out of the chair celebrating a goal

    Last kick of the game stuff trumps that for me. Today's game was much bigger. A different type of satisfaction in both games in fairness.

    Chambers firmly ahead of Gabriel on the pecking order for me after the fantastic performance he put in

    He played it very safe but that is what we needed today.

    Thought he made some great passes and even had an attempt on goal to be honest, no sideways ****e to mertesacker either

    Delighted. Didn't think we were gonna get the winner. Just seemed like one of those days. Way to wasteful with our attempts today. With that said thank you Welbeck, great come back and winner :)

    Couldn't be happier with that. Danny Welbeck worth every penny of that 16 million for that goal alone :)
