Vardy is the true underdog story. Played on a non-league team not too long ago and now he's the leading scorer in the Premiership and holds the Premier League record for consecutive scoring matches. I mean...it's a perfect movie script.

Arsenal beat Olimpiacos 3-0 today to advance in the Champions League for the 16th straight season. The Gunners entered the game needing to win by 2 to advance and won by 3. Olivier Giroud was the man today, collecting the hat trick.
Newcastle beat Liverpool 2-0 last week. Probably should have been a 1-1 draw, but Newcastle was due a little bit of luck. The team has mid-table talent outside of a few players, they lack chemistry though and haven't caught many breaks this season. Maybe this will be the start of a good run for the Magpies.
Also, Leicester is my #2 at the moment. Love seeing them in first place!
Try NBC Extra.....they usually are good with showing full matches in replay format. Or...hold on...let me find the site I was given on a Leicester forum
FOUND IT http://www.fullmatchesandshows.com/
Been banned a few weeks but I've been watching ha. Ref, sorry to say, but when clubs like Leicester have guys play like Vardy and Marhez, they lose them. May not necessarily be in January but enjoy them at the king power while you have them ha.
As for European soccer, the knockout round of the champions league is set and United blew their chance and a few other English teams got in by the skin of their teeth, but none of them really have the talent to win. But should be fun to watch the draw for the KO round this week.
I make up for it by being a fan of PSG (b/c of Ibra) and Bayern Munich. It's funny because Newcastle was the only team I knew for sure I didn't want in the draft we did last season, then I got them, and now I can't not like them anymore. Being a State fan has made me a glutton for misery, so Newcastle is a perfect fit for me.
On a related note, we scored 2 goals in the last 15 to beat Tottenham at White Hart Lane. And we beat Liverpool last week. Which means I fully expect us to lose to Aston Villa 4-0 next weekend.
Draws for both of my teams this weekend. A good one for Norwich against the Toffees and a bad one for Liverpool with West Brom.
Champions League round of 16 has been drawn. Biggest are arsenal v barca and bayern v juventus. Real madrid drew roma
Watching Leicester and Chelski on NBC sports now. Do Leicester fans use some kind of artificial noise maker?
Eh, I don't have a huge reason, I'm not really a massive fan of any club, even Newcastle (although they're sadly growing on me). I've never liked Real or Barca. I view them like the Yankees, Lakers, Alabama, etc. Although I guess the same argument can be made about Bayern. But I admire the German national team, so I guess I'm biased towards the German club with a ton of German national players. I also get the impression that they personify the German people as a whole, who I view as industrious and hard-working people, which is probably a silly and untrue reason to like a soccer team, but none the less.
CALL ME THE PROPHET!!!!!
ALL HAIL YOUR LEICESTER CITY OVERLORDS YET AGAIN.
