    Can Leicseter Be Caught?

    Hope people don't mind me posting articles I have writtten, please say if you feel I should stop posting them, but this is one I wrote before the weekends games. Would be great to get some feedback again but also to hear what people think about the subject. Are Leicester too far ahead of the rest? - view external link

    'combined with a defence who have only conceded 25 league goals, joint third lowest in the league'

    Second lowest Aaron.


    Leicester can be caught (mathematically obviously) but I just don't think that they will be. I can't see them losing three games that it will take for a team to catch them.

    Baring an asteroid hitting the crisp bowl and wiping out the squad, Leicester have no chance of being caught.
    Second is anyone of four teams now, possibly three if you count out the dogs. If Ings pulls a hamstring (please God) then Burnley may freefall, surely QPR's slump can't continue.

    Are Forest now on Billys bust stage of his perennial boom and bust cycle that all his teams weirdly do?

    As for Derby, can't see us losing again until our next defeat and our next win should bring us 3 points.

    As a Forest fan, I enjoyed reading your article. I must say it's quote flattering of us, but I think you can rule us out of this particular race.

    As Mourinho said of United's title challenge 2 or 3 weeks ago, to expect 1 of the 3 league leaders to drop points, is reasonable, but to hope all 3 collapse and start losing the 4 games in quick succession is practically impossible.

    For that reason you can eliminate Forest and QPR from your assessment. That leaves Burnley and Derby, both have shown the ability to start winning consecutive games after each draw or defeat.

    However there's a crucial barrier that all leaders hope to build going

    it's great to see your articles on here. why not? I'm sure bloomer will be jealous though. we have D_D's legendary rating and ella's stats. we had a guy that spent about 72 hours writing up tactical previews of each game that were great (although no idea where he is now?). so another regular article encourages more discussion. it's all good.

    In answer to the original question, the answer is a very insightful 'no'.

    And you needn't stop just here, you're most welcome to share your thoughts in the Forest board. However we do insist that posters sharing article links, at least touch a bit on the subject matter by way of an introduction, or by responding to replies.

    I think not, if it was objective and fair criticism, I'll back him up and urge for a repeal if in the unfortunate event he was banned.

    We don't have moderating Nazis in charge anymore.

    Nope. Fortunately these are now multiplying in boards such as yours and Notts.
