Still wins...

I was just thinking of that Altintop volley earlier!

[Blue Cabbage]

@#/? me.

Great hit

Not a volley but my favourite goal of all time.

[donnermeat]

Scholes against Villa has to be up there

[Tom]

Me at Cutwood Park in a game of 60 seconds when the keeper chose wides and over beats them all!

[Baz]

Steven Reids half-volley against Wigwam is another great goal too. Seem to remember Thommo and MGP scoring some crackers too.

[A cup of beans]

If you want to get angry. Listen to that bellend Lenny Johnrose, on tonight's Lancashire Sport. Defending Liverpool 's 77.00 ticket.

"Nobody's forcing you to go the ground will still be full"

Staggering.

It's getting worse. "Blame sky,blame Jack Walker (for taking the game away from the working man!)

[K-Hod]

Think he's got a point re people still paying it! You'll always get day trippers at the biggest clubs who will pay it.

The only way to stop it as an entire boycott.

Wonder how many will walk out on 77 minutes today.

In 20 years time premiership attendances will have fallen by 25-30%.. Whilst the Championship will be hit even more..........I think. I also think Ewood home fan attendances will drop below 10k before 2020.

People are getting fed up in droves. Money and hype are creating millionaires out of talentless cretins whilst young fans are not being engaged because they cannot afford it. Just look at our latest ticket offer £30 for three games and the take up will be negligible.

If I had one football wish to reward all, with the benefit of hindsight, it would be that the Premierleague had never happened

Or that the maximum wage for players hadn't been scrapped (it would have been better to simply increase it, obviously with the benefit of hindsight).

Leicester lead at City within a couple of minutes

If they win this it's theirs to lose

[Tom]

2-0!

[Amo]

As much as I'm enjoying Leicester's rise to the top, it does carry with it a certain ambivalence. The revisionists are already trying to wipe our title win from the history books. If Leicester achieve the unthinkable, they'll eclipse our triumph in 1995.

[A cup of beans]

2-0!

Fully deserved so far.

City have monopolised possession but Leicester have had by far the better chances on the break.

3nil

[Rover_Shaun]

City 0-3 Leicester. This is getting silly now.

Who gives a toss if others forget our title win? We won't

However if Leicester do win it it will be rightly the most remarkable win in decades and the most improbable since Leeds in 92

In fact if their current exploits are the only interest in a dull and turgid top flight

[DE.]

City might have wanted to hold off announcing Pep. It rarely ends well when the manager becomes a lame duck before the season ends.

[AlanK]

This is unbelievable!!

If Leicester pull this off it will be far more impressive than us winning back in 1995. It will be far more impressive than anything I can remember in the world of sport.

Incredible

[K-Hod]

It might sound out of turn but I think Leicester's players need drugs testing ;-) Seriously though, unbelievable from them!

[Stuart]

I was about to post similar DE. What motivation does Pelligrini have now, and why should the players care what he wants from them. I presume City wanted to avoid speculation between now and next season but it could really have hurt them this season.

Very mixed feelings about Leicester. I do want them to break the monopoly but it's another name on the roll of honour for that particular trophy (inevitably I suppose) and another nail in the coffin of our former status.

Don't agree with that, Alan. It's another city club doing well, they've all had their turns (well most of them). A small town club winning it. Well that was something else.

The commentators already mentioned Forest and Norwich doing well but no mention of 95

[Mike E]

But but but we only bought the league dontcha know?

Tbf, going from the verge of relegation to winning the title in just over a year is phenomenal.

The fundamental issue is whether you agree with free market capitalism or not. I don't and don't vote for it, but we have a conservative government so most people do. Can't have it both ways.
