You can call it weak if you like, as if CSKA, Monaco and Leverkusen is group of death but for CL virgins to top the group with a game to spare is surely a great sequel to winning the Premiership last season.

The boys haven't been playing that bad in the league and I believe we'll come good again in that sphere. But regardless it's still all good fun and let's hope we get a decent draw for the the next round of the CL. And by that I mean avoiding the big guns. Someone like Monaco or whoever gets through from Group B will do just fine thankyou. Save Real and Barca for the semi and final.

:lol: :mrgreen: :geek:

Maybe all they'd need is some sort of, erm, incentive to do so....

Right now both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are second in their respective groups. PSG could easily finish second too. Winning their group may turn out to be a poisoned chalice for the Foxes.

There all loaded already but I don't think money is a motivator for this group right now. TBH they wouldn't even be at Leicester if that was the case because after last season they would have had options.

For sure it could go all Pete Tong with the draw. Although really there is no wrong.

Surely you want to beat Real, Barca and Bayern on the way to the final leaving careers and egos floundering in your wake.

I think what Leicester are doing this year is fantastic. The ECL is specifically designed to keep teams like Leics out. :lol:
