[Ike O'Noclassed]

We'll win between 12 and 15 games.

The manager in the job at the end of the season will not bring about any noticeable improvement in form compared to the manager at the start.

Tottenham will finish above us

We'll show next to no interest in the cups, the only remote chance of getting silverware,

That is all

That and him saying Craig was sacked after five games of the new season. He was there until mid October.

 

[City Fan]

This bit is bang on the money though:

“Is Leicester’s squad both bloated and too thin?”
