Well, we've well and truly made it now. We are now appearing on the "Alternative Premier League Table" on RAWK:

Unfortunately we're not top, we're second to Man City on -5 points, but you can't have it all. Click to page 1 if you'd like to understand it (although I'm sure it makes perfect sense to everyone anyway

).

They still don't believe we can make the Top 4 never mind win the League.

"Leicester play with such an intense, high-energy style that may tell on them later in the season and this is where the added depth of the likes of Tottenham, or even Liverpool and Everton, may come into play."

Anyone else not really get this bit? I've no idea about Spurs but have the other two really got added depth? If so why aren't they giving them a chance now when little Leicester can make it to the top?

Amazing days.

That's one of the most poorly written articles I've read in a long time.

I agree. The thing is that it's in USA Today which I think is their top circulation paper so it shows two things. One that our name is spreading far and wide and, two, that Yanks are largely illiterate.

Yanks also seem to have the worst problems in coming to terms with how Leicester is pronounced.

FTW is the sort of bloggy wing of the USA today sports coverage. It's their play at vital content. They are pretty good at it, but not really what you'd call "hard news".

It's like a family guy seg of a Russian guy reading an American newspaper article about British football soccer.

LES Fox · Dec 15, 2015

I don't think anyone actually reads USA Today. It's more of a freebie given away at hotels, with
a nice weather map to look at on the back. NY Times is into "hard news," but they do love a factually incorrect piece too. ".. $117 million it cost Leicester for its squad".

Not very newsworthy

Miles Away · Dec 16, 2015

An interesting one, particularly as it relates to Ulloas performance:

Look in the Random Images thread

Ah ! Thanks - that's it! I've only ever looked at the Leicester thread on this site before. I've worked and travelled in Africa and Asia over the years where I have been suprised to see seen English football shirts (clearly second hand or 'knock offs' of Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and of course Man Utd) being worn in some pretty remote villages. This is the first time I can recall seeing any City mercandise - and it looked fairly new - perhaps a gift from someone in the UK?

Looks like @WillKirwaan_ could be having a good Christmas this year... #LCFC #BookieBashing
