As you will have gathered I have been somewhat distracted this week.
Blocked sinus' and a red nose are neither nice to live with nor pretty.
But hey - Foxes are fighters so here I am bouncing back and catching up on football news.

Is anyone else starting to get a little nervous for the Man City "project"?

I was thrilled by the way the team were playing for the first two months of the season. Â They were incisive, dashing, and had a swagger about them that said "we can do this". Â As sure as one swallow doesn't make a summer, a handful of early victories doesn't define a season.

Aston Villa overturned the odds and the form book to beat Chelsea 2-1 after going a goal down early in the game. It was Chelsea's second away defeat and the shoddy defending on display will certainly raise questions at Stamford Bridge.
