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.Quote:

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!
I'm calling a 2-1 Leicester victory on Monday vs Chelsea. Vardy and Mahrez with a goal each.Quote:

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 forumQuote:

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 don't get how in the hell you blood pressure isn't sky high being a state AND Newcastle fan....Quote:

Being a State fan has made me a glutton for misery, so Newcastle is a perfect fit for me.Quote:

Why bayern? Genuine curiosity.Quote:

Champions League round of 16 has been drawn. Biggest are arsenal v barca and bayern v juventus. Real madrid drew roma
I work with a guy from Newcastle. The way he describes following them over the years sounds just like being a State fan. Misery loves company.Quote:

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.Quote:

First win vs Chelsea in 9 matches. First 9-game lossless streak since 1955.
Vardy gets goal #15, Mahrez gets goal #11.
Vardy has scored or assisted in a goal for 14 straight matches, a Premier League record. Vardy now holds two BPL records.
