What an absolute pile of horseshit that is.Bunn should have been sent off (no he shouldn't) , Gestede's handball  for the goal (which it was ) but no metion of Huth's forearm smash.What a prick.

It will get worse next  season if we go down with all the hate being thrown at us by near neighbours and those not quite as near.  Nice to see Coventry lose yesterday - they are one shed of cocks we can do without.  I don't actually mind the bile from Bloooooose, Wolves etc but Coventry City.

[Clampy]

A good result even if it wasn't the right one. We seemed to have found some belief and resilience and we made a normally decent looking Leicester side look ordinary at times. A shame the ref was dire though.

[Witton Warrior]

The positive for me was we went for the win and didn't just settle back like we usually do when we score. Agree totally with all those saying Leicester are a MoN-like team - they looked just like us a few years ago.

One negative was the behaviour of a group of 20 or so "lads" in K3 who drank and smoked throughout until the second half when stewards intervened. There then ensued 10 minutes of threat and bullying towards the stewards (one bloke filming them and claiming "assault") while they tried to garner support from those of us around them. Eventually the stewards backed off and we were let with this bunch of twats bouncing around revelling in their "victory". I had an altercation with one who was saying the Leicester No 20 "eats dogs", I pointed out this was somewhat incorrect as he was Japanese to which the reply was "same thing".  Seems the hoolies were out yesterday as I noticed another group of "lads" before the match being loud under the Holte.

A few highlights from the Post Match Thread on Foxes Talk (for those watching in black and white, this is the team currently at the top of the Premier League):


We were shite.

That performance was absolutely dreadful. Villa have yet again managed to drag us down to their abysmal level and if anything I'd say over 90 minutes they were the better side.

worst game i have seen this season..

Several hours on and I still feel shit about the game. It feels worse than a defeat.
I know I'm overreacting but if our season now turns to shit ( relatively speaking)
this is the game we look back on and say " that was the turning point".

Absolute dogshite. We should of battered them the way we have been have been playing. Villa were woeful and so were we.

Worst result of the season for me. Feels terrible.

the 2nd half was atrocious

Don't want to sound too much like a negative fan because we are doing beyond my wildest dreams, top of the league in January is indescribable, but on today's game alone it was the worst I've witnessed since we came up.

we were crap end of

Fans were shit today, from where I was at the back of the stand the atmosphere was arse. Tried really hard to get it going but just crap. Worse game for ages. Gutted

In one sense, I'm hoping we get thrashed on Wednesday, as a wake up call to the rest of the players...... Play shit get whipped

We should all be seriously concerned.

Another poor performance

Christ that was awful.

That was absolutely shit.

A tired performance that. Think Vardy needs a spell out of the team

Fair result. Villa could even have nicked it.

I'm sorry, I know we've just gone top of the league and everything, but that was pathetic.

It was hard to tell who the team at the bottom was

[pav]

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but in the lower north it was like being at the darts , people walked in with pints in first half , then second half was loads with bottles . Quite bizarre , as nothing was said .

Bring it on. It'll be great to be hated again.

My son and I couldn't believe the crap Matterface and Martin were coming out with on Talksport when we were on our way home from the game. Apparently we were rubbish and Leicester should and could have won comfortably. They then praised Leicester which seemed contradictory to me. Surely if we were so bad they should have knocked them for not winning. Even my son said "they must have been at a different game to us".

'Shed of cocks' is a magnificent term. I worked a fair bit in Coventry about ten years ago and met plenty of people who disliked Villa but their passion didn't extend to actually going to watch 'The Cov'.

Moyes on MotD

Gestede goal was hand ball: My view. Yes it ball flew up and hit his hand, but this was not a deliberate act.
The two fore arm smashes to Kozaks face were unintentional and were not penalties. My view. An arm/elbow to the face any where else on the pitch is a foul. We should have had at least one penalty

What they missed on MotD was the altercation between Vardy and Baccuna. They squared up and Vardy pushed his head into Baccuna's face and raises his hand. Is that no longer a red card offence?

[amfy]

Also - just after the 2nd Kozak possible penalty incident, the ball goes to Ayew, who I think is tripped as he comes back across the area. Nothing on that either.

[Olof's Beard]

I'm flabbergasted by the amount of people suggesting we give a Kozak-Gestede strike partnership a proper whirl. I refuse to see a 20 minute cameo that was semi-effective against a Leicester side dropping deeper and deeper as reason to unleash the slowest and most technically inept forward line in the league.

Fair play to Rudy, he put himself about but his touches that led up to the goal show how limited he is and if the two of them were playing up front from the off, the opposition could hold a line midway inside our half. Trying them together would smack of the Tim Sherwood 'try anything that sort of stuck' approach. At least we know it's an option that can work against deep lying defences, but if they start together next week we'd all be scratching our heads within ten minutes.

I thought Leicester were very good in the first half. Ads is right, they have a clear game plan but it's mid January now and nobody has worked out how to stop it. They have lost just 3 of their last 31 games (Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool I believe) and have underrated players. Credit to Garde and the players for finding a way to snatch a point in the 2nd half because whereas every player turned up on Tuesday, a lot of them struggled today. Positive signs, albeit ones that come far too late.

Definitely off topic but under that article was another one  showing the Bin Dippers arriving at their hotel They were all wearing LFC branded hoodies even Klopp (to be fair, he was holding his suit bag). Bunch of scruffs!

Sports Direct must have a sale on.

[passport1]

Leicester reminded me of us under O'Neill when we were 3rd/4th. Sit deep, play on the break/hoof, very direct, work hard, get the best out of average players. Effective but boring and will get found out eventually.

I don't think Young, Milner, Barry, Petrov, Carew were average players

Those were the days my friend..............

Did they really happen?
