Anything that doesn't help City is good with me.

Anything that doesn't help City is good with me.

I am biased in this instance, but it makes a nice change to see a club withstand the onslaught of a vast sum of money.

As a 'Foxes' supporter, I feared the worst last night and my fears largely came true.
Last season I read where West Ham had the best record for goals scored from corners and free kicks into the box.
Leicester had the worst record for goals conceded from these deliveries. Then factor in 5 first choice defenders missing.
i.e Injuries to Jonny Evans, Wesley Forfana, Jannik Vestegard, (all centre backs) and James Justin plus Ryan Bertrand (Coronavirus) and you can
see my concerns. Soyuncu is a good defender but probably needs Jonny Evan alongside 'talking ' to him.
As if that wasn't bad enough ? down to 10 men in the 40th minute.
Well done to West Ham and in particular Antonio, far too good for us on the night.

We were diabolical even before the sending off. Ok the defence was weakened, but if you look at our midfield/attack we really should be creating more chances!

I think the reason you could not create the chances was because Moyes "out foxed" Rodgers (again)
West Ham played a line of defence that stopped Leicester knocking the ball over the top. The West Ham midfield allowed the Leicester centre backs the ball and then cut out the pass to the creative Tielemans and Madison (excellent work from Rice and Soucek)
But that is taking away from the West Ham attack who are excellent at counter attack football. Antonio is a beast, he has pace and power to burn. If his finishing was any good, he would be worth a lot of money.

Does the "Broughton" refer to Broughton Astley ?

Yes our midfield is 'lightweight' how can it not be with Maddison and Perez there ? They are 'nice' footballers (especially Maddison) but no way can they handle the physical challenge that West Ham present.

I was there at the London Stadium on monday and i am still buzzing at that result.
David Moyes is putting together a good squad but still needs to be added to because of the Europa cup.
Thought we played very well against a very good Leicester team(on paper) who just didn't turn up on the night.
Although Antonio is not the most technical player he compensates for that with his strength and determination.
We only need another thirty four points to avoid relegation.

It was great being back in a crowd yesterday but I couldn't help but feel this could all go wrong very quickly. We've gone from masks, social distancing, isolation and being (mostly) well behaved to jumping straight back in to 50+ thousand crowds and people hugging folk they haven't seen for 18 months. Still, we appreciate what we can have. View attachment 605424

I know what you mean.I was a bit apprehensive on monday at the London Stadium and decided to wear a mask throughout the game.I was only one of a few.
It was like "virus what virus".

Leeds United to visit Craven Cottage to face Fulham in Carabo Cup.We are expecting a big crowd said Chairman Tommy Trinder,and we are hoping Johnny Haynes will be fit after his injury.I hope so fancy paying a bloke a £100 per week to play football,where will it end.

I'm neutral but I have a sneaky feeling that Chelsea are going to win the league this time and 'pinch' a 1-0 win at Liverpool.
I sort of hope I'm wrong because I don't like Chelsea . . . . well really I don't like Abramovich but that makes it difficult to like his team.

I don't think Man City will struggle to acquire points this weekend

Well, I'd settle for a draw tbh but hope we have the same result as last year's two League results?
