I can't wait for the first game of the season! my tickets came this morning for Leicester City v Everton. Everyone has already said we are going straight back down, but it seems everyone has forgot we walked to The Championship title last season and were by far the best team in that division. It's not gonna be easy as our first five games of the season are tough (h v Everton, a v Chelsea, h v Arsenal, a v Stoke, h v Man Utd), but we have got a young and talented squad who are improving all the time (Drinkwater, Knockeart, Moore and Mahrez are the standout talents). We've also managed to sign some decent backup and all of the out of contract players have signed long term contracts, including Nigel Pearson who is the best manager we have had since O'Neill. I just think there are three teams worse than us in that division, Burnley, West Brom (poor squad, and manager who was failed numerous times at a lower level) and Aston Villa (awful manager, awful tactics, awful style of football)
But I'm a fan, perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps we will get battered every week. Wes Morgan as our centre half does not fill me with confidence, and Ulloa is a massive gamble. But who knows, there are always some surprises along the way.
Oh, and I've done my team, would post it but I don't know how :)
