Leicester

[MaxY]

CHAT SHIT GET FUCKING BANGED. I'm so hyped that this finally happened. I had some fears that somehow they'd screw up and Tottenham looked like world beaters with an amazing squad. I'm so glad for Ranieri,Leicester and also because it's a middlefinger to EPL fanboys. All of them moneyclubs like City,United,Chelsea yet the small underdog Leicester lead by Vardy,Mahrez and Kante takes a shit on their lunch.
Sorry for the language but I just can't help it at the moment. FUCK YOU EPL, GOOD JOB LEICESTER.

What pundits were saying about Ranieri's appointment at the start of the season...

Phil Thompson

On Sky Sports: "They should really have signed his agent. He got all those jobs for him! I may be quite wrong, but I don't think he's ever won anything."

Matt Le Tissier

On Sky Sports: "With Leicester I think it could be a massive struggle this season. I think he might struggle with the spirit there."

Gary Lineker

On Twitter: "Claudio Ranieri? Really?"

On BreatheSport: "Claudio Ranieri is clearly experienced, but this is an uninspired choice by Leicester. It's amazing how the same old names keep getting a go on the managerial merry-go-round."

Dietmar Hamann

On Twitter: "Can't believe Leicester appointed Ranieri ... Great club, great fanbase but I'm afraid MK rather than Old Trafford season after next."

Harry Redknapp

On Twitter: "Ranieri is a nice guy, but he's done well to get the Leicester job. After what happened with Greece, I'm surprised he can walk back into the Premier League."

Tony Cottee

On Sky Sports: "I'm astonished. I just didn't see this one coming. Obviously there have been many people linked to the job but as far as I'm aware, Ranieri wasn't one and for me, it is a strange appointment."

"They made a massive risk getting rid of Nigel Pearson who did such a good job football-wise towards the end of last season. To appoint Ranieri now, bearing in mind where he has been the last 10 years, is a huge gamble."

Robbie Savage

On BBC: "Ranieri, good manager but for me not Leicester. If you play for the Foxes you need someone you can relate to as a manager. O'Neill, Pearson are managers the players can relate to. I'd have gone back to O'Neill or Lennon. It will be a relegation battle whoever was manager. Big name, bad choice in my opinion. Time will tell. Hopefully I am wrong."

Frank Sinclair

On BBC: "If I was a player at Leicester still I would be excited given the players he has worked with in the past - very excited.
"But for the next manager at Leicester, the job in hand is stabilising the club. I don't think they are looking to win things yet. If they can be a mid-table team then he will be doing a fantastic job."

Alan Smith

In the Daily Telegraph: "Replacing Nigel Pearson with Claudio Ranieri can only be described as a huge punt. The risk is that City now lose some of the energy, aggression and spirit that pulled them to safety."

Paul Merson

Speaking on Sky Sports in September: "Leicester have started well and they'll be well safe. They can beat teams and I love the Nathan Dyer signing… he could easily get in Tottenham's team."

Stan Collymore

In the Daily Mirror: "Last season's Great Escape will have instilled incredible belief at the King Power. Having met Nigel Pearson on a number of occasions last season, he was in no doubt that the Foxes would claw themselves to safety."

"Unfortunately, the script has changed. I'm not convinced about 'Tinkerman' Claudio Ranieri. Pearson had the dressing room. The players believed in him. Ranieri has a job on his hands earning the same respect."

"Don't underestimate the loss of Esteban Cambiasso, either. But I think the players believe. That could be enough. It may be just as messy as it was last time, though."

Michael Owen

On Twitter: "Right then here we go again #Top6Bottom3: Top 6: Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs."

"Bottom 6: Bournemouth, Leicester, Watford. Let's see yours!"

I don't think anyone has enjoyed this more than "EPL fanboys".

Vardy will go down in history now. There is Socrates, Martin Luther King, JFK and now Jamie Vardy.

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."

"I have a dream."

"Ich bin ein Berliner."

"Chat shit get banged."

This post deserves more credit.

I've heard Universal are in talks to make Moneyball 2, based on Leicester FC 2015-16 season. They're talking with John Voight to play Ranieri. Already have Ethan Hawke to play Vardy, and Collin Farrell to play Mahrez. They're looking for someone to play Kante as well, rumor has it they're gonna give the part to Chiwetel Ejiofor, from 12 Years a Slave. Can't wait.

Ranieri stated a while back he would love De Niro to play him in the Vardy film.

Lol, you must be taking the piss, all those guys are to old to play footballers in their 20s, also probably too expensive.

Yeh, totally makes sense.

Hollywood studios can make anyone look at least 10-15 years younger.

It would be best to get a younger generation so they can bring fresh legs, hunger and motivation
