Corndog - unlike many on here, I take our successes and failure with equal grace.
That said, I'm enjoying the ride right now. It's not just this season, but the incredible run to avoid relegation. Add the last ten games of last season to what we've done so far this season and we're 6 points better than anyone else in the league. Which is pretty remarkable, although the number of pundits who had us down for bottom three was baffling.
The next few games will be really telling - both Manchesters, Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton... But I think our football has been exciting, ambitious, attack minded and thoroughly good for the game. That Ranieri has managed to retain the spirit built up under Pearson, and get more consistency out of essentially the same squad, is impressive.
Vardy and Mahrez cost us a total of £1.45 million and have 20 goals between them in 13 games - Mahrez has created more chances than anyone else in the league and has an impressive number of assists. These are exciting times and long may they last.
