England’s Greatest Football Team. It’s an easy phrase to say, but which specific team is it referring to? Perhaps for each of us it’s a different team. It likely depends when you grew up, where you live, and what people you know are saying on the subject. Mauricio Pochettino discussed this subject in an interview […]
Leicester City have been praised for the progress they continue to make on the pitch — progress that comes with an added benefit to England! That’s the verdict of former Foxes ace Tony Cottee, who says that call-ups for the likes of Harry Maguire, Jamie Vardy, Ben Chilwell, James Maddison and Demarai Gray to Gareth […]
Burnley vs Leicester City 14/04/18 Kick-off: 3pm Preview: Well, my 2-0 prediction last weekend went down like a led balloon didn’t it? What an awful result we had at home to Newcastle; another Rafa Benitez special. We played like a team who struggled to create any ideas and only had one shot on target all […]
Leicester City vs Newcastle 07/04/18 Kick-off: 3pm Preview: Leicester’s first win at the Amex last week couldn’t have come at a better time. Not only is this the business end of the season, but it also meant we kept the pressure on Burnley, especially as we face the Clarets next week. Next up for the […]
Brighton vs Leicester City 31/03/18 Kick-off: 3pm Preview: Back to Premier League action this weekend, as Leicester City take on a much-improved Brighton Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium. The International break is definitely the most tedious time of the footballing calendar, but I’ll be honest, this time around especially against Italy, England actually played […]
OVERVIEW The summer of 2017 saw Leicester pull off one of the transfer window’s most unlikely signings, with 20-year old Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho joining the Foxes from Manchester City for £25million, on a five year contract. It was a move that epitomized Leicester over the past few years in a way; moving away from […]
Leicester City vs Bournemouth 03/03/18 Kick-off: 3pm Preview: Well, last weekend didn’t exactly go to plan did it? Leicester City 1-1 Stoke City wasn’t the scoreline I expected, simply based on the stats and Stoke’s recent performances. If you missed my piece on that game, you can find it on the By Far The Greatest […]
Leicester City vs Stoke City 24/02/18 Kick-off: 12:45pm Preview: Early kick offs, don’t we just love them! I suppose a positive slant on them is that you can lie in bed and watch the game, and still have the rest of the afternoon and evening to do whatever you want. To be more specific, when […]
Leicester City vs Swansea City 03/02/18 Kick off: 3pm Preview: The first game since the closing of the transfer window is upon us Leicester fans. Should the January transfer window be scraped?

Peterborough vs Leicester City 27/01/18 Kick-off: 12:30pm Preview: The FA Cup is back this weekend, with lower league teams still looking to upset the odds and take a scalp of their own.

Leicester City vs Watford 20/01/18 Kick off 3pm Preview: Whenever someone mentions Leicester and Watford in the same sentence, all I think about is that moment a few years ago. That one minute of madness will forever go down in footballing folklore and it’s a moment I’ll never forget regardless of the negative connotations it […]
Chelsea vs Leicester City 13/01/18 Kick off 3pm Preview: This Saturday sees the Foxes travel down to London to take on Antonio Conte’s Chelsea. I suppose you could label this game now as the ‘Drinkwater Derby’, or the ‘Kante Derby’, or even both if you’re feeling generous. This game is an interesting one in the […]
Fleetwood Town vs Leicester City 06/01/18 Kick off: 12:45pm Preview: The Premier League takes a backseat this week with the arrival of the FA Cup third round. The magic of the cup they call it, full of drama, uncertainty and goals. This weekend is a chance for the so-called ‘lesser teams’ to stake a claim […]
Liverpool vs Leicester City 30/12/17 Kick-off: 3pm Preview: The final game of the year beckons, before we transfer across to 2018 on a one-year deal. Leicester travel to Anfield looking to bounce back after defeat to Watford, whereas Liverpool will be disappointed if they only score one- the way they’ve been performing this season. Bar […]
Leicester City vs Manchester United 23/12/17 Kick off 7:45pm Preview: Guess who’s back, back again. Apologies for no pieces last week; it’s not like we lost 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace or anything… Moving on swiftly – I don’t know whether we as Leicester fans, as well as United fans, should feel privileged as […]
Newcastle United vs Leicester City 09/12/17 Kick off 5:30pm Preview: Saturday’s late kick off is a clash in the North East, with Rafa’s Toon Army facing Claude Puel’s Foxes.

Leicester City vs Burnley 02/12/17 Kick off 3pm Preview: An interesting game lies ahead, which sees an inform Burnley side travel down to the East Midlands to face Claude Puel’s Leicester City, in the first set of fixtures this December. Burnley are a prime example of a team who work for their manager. What they’re […]
West Ham vs Leicester City 24/11/17 Kick off 8:00pm Preview: The first game of the weekend for footballing fans comes from the London Stadium, as David Moyes takes charge of his first home game against Claude Puel’s Leicester City.

18/11/17 Leicester City vs Manchester City Kick off 3pm Preview: Well, wasn’t that International break a bundle of joy? My goodness me, I’m so happy that the next time we have to endure that level of football again isn’t until March- a whole 123 days from today! To give you an idea of how drab […]
Stoke City vs Leicester City 04/11/17 Kick off 12:30pm Preview: Premier League games come thick and fast don’t they? It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was finally celebrating a Leicester victory.
