    So just how far can Leceister City go this year?
    I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop but with that two headed monster of theirs up front they are very good. I know the schedule is tough for them coming up but if they can tread water and hold the line they might just be in it for the long haul towards the end. Can they sneak a Europa spot or a top 4 finish or have a fairy tale season and compete for the title all the way??? Blackburn won it in 1993-94, so someone crazy has won it before..

    Thoughts...??

      I'm very impressed with their high intensity pressing game with an all out attack that has a high strike rate but they have a thin squad and will be a shadow of their current selves 25+ games into the season as they can't keep up this level of intensity over a full season.

      From a betting perspective there is still a few games where money can be made by betting on total goals in their games before the odds fully adjust or fatigue sets in.

        If they can win at least a few when they play the big teams, they can content European spots

          They just keep on winning!Tough one Sat vs Everton though.I am on the bandwagon because I threw 1.00 on them at 5000-1 to win the EPL at 5 dimes.It was a joke of a bet at the time.Tony might ban me forever if it cashes or call bad line/

            Yeah I wouldn't be too optimistic about seeing that cash.

                They can win it all.
                Just because everyone else is so bad.
                Liverpool better under Klopp but players not good enough.
                United with Schweinsteiger and washed up Rooney?
                City? Maybe... Still a bunch of mercenaries.
                Chelsea? Hiddink? Pff. Will be lucky if they somehow make Europe...
                Arsenal? Özil extremely strong again. But they lack another great attacker. Giroud is just okay...
                I am very surprised of Ranieri. Terrible manager, the football he played in Monaco was the worst I ever saw. Except for his time with Valencia his style of soccer was almost unwatchable. What he does in Leicester is very entertaining though, gotta admit...

                  Liverpool and man City next two. 2-3 points needed between both games to stay afloat..

                      Leicester @ 4.33 (B365) to beat Man City. Starts in 40 mins.
                      Vardy was questionable, but he's been named as a starter. Aguero returns for M.City.
                      The market has overreacted to Leicester's away loss to Liverpool imo. Man City are in this Lose/Win/Lose/Win/Lose/Win pattern, couldn't beat Villa or Stoke away recently, and have only scored in 1 of their last 4 away games. I think Leicester are worth backing to bounce back at the price.
                      2 unit bet for me.

                        Yeah at 4.33 its worth a shot. I think 2-1 either way

                            Starting to fade now with two draws,Still think they can make top 4.

                              Unlucky draw against Bournemouth, but a draw against City ia fine.
                              Arsenal is very strong at the moment, but Özil is the one who wins the games for them.... They have to hope he doesn't get injured, it's a long season.

                                3 games in a row without scoring now

                                Just like Southampton with pelle the other season. They looked good when pelle was on form but when pelle wasn't scoring they were trash

                                  Stats show they are getting shots in great locations and finishing is high levels. I think teams will adjust to this by defending deep and close the Mahrez wing. I kind of think they will have problems with mid table teams that sit deep (i didn´t see the results so i am not sure about this).
                                  Another thing is that they are work horses and it´s not easy to be on this level from August to May.
                                  I don´t think they are going to stay in top4. If they do it´s just an underdog´s fairytale.
                                  Strong candidates to be on European spots in my opinion.

                                      Not good... Guy's a beast so far. Should be back within 2 weeks I guess, but will hurt them. Basically the thing that could hurt them is their lack of depth in the roster when it comes to quality...

                                              favourites to finish top3 which is incredible.
                                              they willprobably go out in the 4th place play off for champions league......

                                                  Good win today getting vardy back in form and beating down stoke who arsenal struggled with.These next three vs Liverpool,at Man city and at Arsenal is going to say everything.I honestly believe that if they are still on top after these upcoming matches then I would say they are 50/50 to win the EPL if not the favorite.Still 11-1 now.

                                                      whats the price to trade out?
                                                      i guess you put 5k on them not to win, you make 200.
                                                      but then you are fukked if they win it

                                                          I see euro books have a dual forecast bet of Man city/Aresenal at -110 to win EPL..man if I had an extra 1100$$ lying around I would hedge my 5k.But then if tottenham wins the league I am ******..

                                                          Anyone see a Man city/Tottenham/Arsenal triple??

                                                            My sportsbook has premier league winner without city, utd, arsenal and Chelsea. Tottenham are @ 2.00. Looks juicy.

                                                              Thanks but does not do me much good.I guess safest bet would be to take tott at +800 and city/arse at -110

                                                                The best bet would be the city and arsenal one. That seems like a steal.
