Leicester 2nd Spurs 3rd.

Such a shame he retired from England. Him running on to Kane's through balls would be immense.

Vardy is always alive to the situations around him, and brings in other players into the game and always looking to play off the shoulders of the last defender. Very clever player. He is not a one trick pony.

It is a stupid thing to say. What I love about Vardy is that he gets on the pitch with the idea to make sure the opposition defenders have a nightmare game

An excellent player for me

Vardy is just buzzing to have peace from his missus for a few hours, that happiness translates into his game.

I mentioned on dublin’s “live” thread that once the persistent rain had eased, Leeds came back into the match and took it by the scruff of the neck for a while. I just think the Leeds defenders had extreme difficulty in dealing with the conditions at the start of the match and City took advantage of this.

I’m not taking away credit for City’s performance last night, but had the pitch been dry from the off we might have had a major tussle on our hands.

Vardy at away > Vardy at home

They need to hope it doesn't rain in the winter, in England!, they push so many forward there are huge spaces to exploit a bit like Southampton do too sometimes it works

I’m not so sure nowadays but I used to consider our snowbound and sodden pitches as “great levellers” and reduced matches, at times, to a farce. You must have seen a good few in your time D & D. I certainly have. Upon leaving the ground you’d cotton on to those muttering “ref should have called it off”...etc...etc. I’ll always remember that Spurs match at Maine Road in the late 60’s shown on MOTD. Bone hard pitch and snow. An almost impossible task for Jennings to keep the ball out.

I remember a FA cup tie at Luton v Man city, Law scored 6 goals and ref called the game off, pitch waterlogged, Luton won replay 3-2
