Well played Leicester! Can you? Hope you do win the league again this year. That will keep Liverpool, Manu, Man city and Tottenham fans quiet. Especially with the zillions those teams have spent
Leicester have no chance of winning the league sorry
Not gonna happen.
It would be magnificent and I’m a Chelsea supporter. Love Rodgers approach, wham bam! thank you Mam!
Spurs will never win the league with the Fossil at the helm !!
It could happen and tbh any of the top 7 could as it's so tight :)
As a Newcastle fan, fingers crossed you can do it.
Noting the comment on zillions spent by those teams.
You can count Liverpool out of that list as ‘net spend’ is lowest of Man U / C and Spurs! And most of prem clubs.
On the positive, you have Rogers as manager. Was good for L’pool and brought back the passing game & press that had been lost in years prior! He makes good teams!!

Strange season, everyone has a chance, especially you have Vardy in the squad!!
Party like you’re Vardy baby! Fast hard and in the zone!
Southampton robbed. Should've had a penalty when Evans made that OBVIOUS foul on about 75 mins. VAR where were you????
The guy he fouled was offside. I guess you must have missed that. Replay it and watch it again if you don’t believe me. Linesman flagged.. Offside given.
If he wasn't OBVIOUSLY offside it would've been a penalty.
They don't give penalties for being offside mate

2 very even teams. Good game. Leicester lucky with the first goal after the foul, ref had a mare with that one. Game of 2 halves and score a bit flattering. Hopefully get Ings and co back soon. Such a young bench.
Just wish we went forward more with 5 mins to go

One team scores early and defends for an hour. Its football but its definitely not a beautiful game.
Did you actually watch the game??
Who scored early?
Contenders. And Soton are close.
Well played City against a very well organised Saints team 5 points off safety nearly there .
Marc Albrighton the new Frank lampard.
Saints were decent and 2 nil probably looks a bit harsh on them.
We were much better 2nd half though and had more chances so will definitely take that.
I never thought it would happen the first time, surely we can't do it again.....

Lack of scoring seems to be a major issue for Saints at the moment. While I think a win for Leicester (well done by the way) was more likely, Saints seem to be lacking that potency at the moment. I think a mid table finish for Saints this season. Hoping for Leicester to win the league though
A good game between two well managed teams. However, I fear for Leicester's title charge if they have to rely on Iheanacho and Perez for goals if Vardy's injury keeps him out for number of games.

That’s what you & many more said in 2016....& just look what happened.
We may not but the best thing is we don't think we are entitled unlike Liverpool or Man U or Man City ,Chelsea or Spurs the boring Bourinhio team (who finished 3rd in a 2 horse race in 2015/16).We don't spend a quarter of the money neither. We have also had a shed load of injuries to key players but have just got on with it and are still second. We will be happy to finish top 4 and probably will.
No chance? Ah yes, they are only in second , well thought out. Brexiter?
Wrong
A statistician might disagree - along with many Foxes fans. The world would love it, as they did in 2015/2016.
Thats what millions of people said at the start of 2015 season.... :)
Liverpoop dropping like a stone

Well played Foxes.
The scoreline is not a reflection of how close the match was for the most part.
T'is all looking rather congested up there.

Really like Rodgers approach, fast direct but under control. No pussy footing about, waiting to be countered and creating problems for yourself. Efficient and effective for what they have spent. Best value for money team in England.
Rogers has really impressed since returning back to the premiership.
Creating a good team at Leicester..
Fair play.

The two idot commentators on bt sport mentioned 30 + time the 9-0 defeat!!!! Seriously move on
They have a very limited vocabulary and no mental capacity for new material. Hence.
Actually it was 7 times from the moment the players took to the pitch to the final whistle. We had a side bet on it, hence we were counting...
Oh yeah, I had compeleyely forgotten about the 9-0 match. Thanks for reminding me it was 9-0. Could have been 10-0, but no 9-0 it was. 9-0!
Take it as a compliment, Leicester haven't done too much to be remembered about over the years except the Premier League win, the 9-0 win and having Gary LIneker as an ex player lol
the story after the rout at st mary's is actually about how improved southampton are as a side
they have to be thinking europe this season

In 2019, the average score of a Leicester side posted to the south coast zone was .. N .. N .. N .. N .. N .. N .. N .. N .. N .. Nine
Yep, and they seem to forget it was against a 10 man Saints side that was totally lacking confidence, form and belief, even before the game started, the result was really not as impressive as it sounds. Like thrashing a team of 10 clueless chickens, who shamefully looked like they threw in the towel a bit after the early sending off

Would say Leicester are the best bet outside of Liverpool or Man City to take the title. Despite Man Utd’s unbeaten run, I’m not convinced that they’re good enough to stay in the hunt, while Chelsea and Spurs definitely aren’t at that level.
Bang on Mark’s, the best of the rest for sure
Total points since MU got Fernandes: MU=68 LFC=62 MC=59 LCFC=46. I think MU could well win it on that form.
Forget about his pie. Jamie Vardy couldn't finish his sentence. It was a game of missed chances wasn't it? Who will win the prem?

That's easy; A foreign billionaire owned club with players that are picking up the thick end of a million quid a month.
The question is:
Which one?

Marc Albrighton, the epitome of an unsung hero. Puts a massive shift in every single game.
Despite being a Blues fan, and he being Ex-Villa, I'll always fondly remember the moment when he came into my class at primary school. A local lad who went onto play a part of one of modern sports great achievements. Not to mention, he ain't half a bad player either.
What a great game. City were excellent after the first 20 mins, which Soton bossed. Two really good teams out there tonight.
Not gonna happen.

Thanks Shadow warrior... I've supported LCFC for 45 years, and seen the many lows, a bit of middle, and then the greatest thing that has ever happened in sport.. I don't expect loyal fans of other clubs to switch allegiances, and rightly so, but I'm pleased you enjoy watching us... We just love upsetting that exclusive boys club of the same 4 or 5 clubs who think they have a god given right to win
If only one day we can do a Leicester.

All these people saying Leicester have no chance of winning the league. Too funny. 18 games in, above Liverpool, Man City, Tottenham etc, but no chance of winning the league apparently, how could it even enter our minds. I mean, it's never happened before..........has it..........
Leicester are excellent and no mugs with Rodgers at the helm !! I would have Rodgers at Spurs any day of the week to see him work with the players and some decent attacking football !! The Turgid one needs to go !!
I believe many are ignorant of how deep this Leicester team are. Always good to be underrated with such players.
Leicester won it by 10 points performing, over a season, as well as Man Utd are this season when the least feeble challenge was from Spurs till the inevitable and they finished 3rd. This season they're one of 4 performing better than runners-up did then. Leicester have a chance, but outperforming their previous best, and Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, and Everton is quite a big ask as things stand.
People just cant or dont like to comprehend how tradition can be turned on its head, or how you dont always get what you pay for... human psychology
What’s even funnier is how when all these self-styled experts got it horribly wrong they tried to rationalise it by talking about the poor standard of the league, teams not catching on to Leicester’s style of play, a fluke etc. I mean the mental aerobics these people have to perform to convince themselves they’re right all the time must be something to behold
And I bet Garth Crooks still won't include any Leicester players in his team of the week...... ??
No chance. He never picks Saints players either. Not really sure why he’s got the gig he has when he’s so biased.....oh wait a minute.... he works for the BBC
It's because Leicester, for a top of the league team, actually look nothing special.
I can tell you now, Fernandes will be in regardless of what he does; there will be 3 defenders when everyone plays at least 4; only 2 from outside the “top 6”; no one from Brighton or WBA.
He’s a prize plum.

The big boys play tomorrow..

With Leicester where they are after selling their best players and Maguire is an achievement in itself.
AND Maguire. ;-)
Were those really their best players or were they hyped up to appear so? Besides, Leicester have been signing players who have added quality to their team. And with injured players recovering, look really threatening at the top.

Just waiting for player of the match to be announced. I would much prefer it if the bbc could stop being so woke. I did check and there were only men playing this match so please could we have a man of the match? It’s not much to ask for, thanks. Also I do realise that there are more important things happening at the moment, it doesn’t stop the validity of my statement though .
Don’t worry. It won’t happen again for a while!
Shame Ings Vestergard and Romeo weren’t available tonight. Still a really good shift from the team Ralph had available against a good Leicester side and their extra man the ref.
Saints and Leicester will still be upsetting the so called big six and PL monopoly for the rest of the season which is like a breath of fresh air. Good luck to them both

Leicester had the extra man the ref you must be joking Attwell was a disgrace both Diallo and Bertrand should have had red cards.
Not sure anyone who really watched that match would agree Leicester had an extra man in the ref. But that's your opinion.
Did you actually watch the game??

Hmmm, generally he was ok. Just that period of the game. He pulls Dialo up for a great challenge and minutes later Dialo is fouled. During same phase Leicester score. Enough said !
I also fail to see how long can be offside. Armstrong had shot hit the bar , phase 1. Phase 2, long is clearly fouled. Pen !
1-1 fair result

Not a supporter of either team.
Well done to both teams for showing others what football is about.
True English football, no hype, no battle of the words, no mind games, no overhyped players, no overpaid bench warmers, no overhyped players - 2 teams within the upper leagues of English football showing the rest how it is played on and off the pitch.

Not a Leicester fan but hope Leicester to go on to win the league, big Rogers fan, I wanted him at Arsenal a few seasons ago when we had a chance to get him. Could be the next British manager to do well in the league.
