LEICESTER CITY’S REMARKABLE season will be worthless without winning the Premier League, according to midfielder Marc Albrighton.
Albrighton and co. are six games away from hoisting the Premier League trophy aloft, with Leicester seven points clear atop the table.
Leicester’s table-topping run comes a year after they pulled off the great escape to avoid relegation last season, having been seven points adrift of safety at the foot of the table 12 months ago.
But Albrighton warned this season will mean nothing unless they claim silverware in May.
“It has been going on so long that we keep saying, ‘A year ago today…,’” he said.
“Where we were to this, it is a massive transformation. We will never get away from that fact.
“But we have got to concentrate on where we are now. Although it is fantastic, it will be worth nothing if we don’t see it out.”
Albrighton added: “There was a lot more pressure last season but I haven’t felt any pressure this season.
“I can’t see why there is any on us. We are in a position no one expected us to be in.
“If we don’t go on and achieve something now then don’t get me wrong, we would be disappointed.
“We are aiming for the top and if we can achieve that, then fantastic, but if we don’t then it is not a massive loss.”

Shambles.
@Brian Dunne: what is going on
@robbie Delaney: nobody seems to know robbie, least of all ineos it would seem!
@Brian Dunne: An utter shambles Brian, and still the Glazers lining their pockets.
@Brian Dunne: if it was him who signed off Zirkzee deal he should be fired. Worst player I have seen play for United and that’s saying something given some of our recent signings
@Dec: bit harsh he scored twice v everton and anthony comes to mind
Basket Case FC
And its still the Glaziers fault ??
@Michael Carroll: it was always their fault
Everyone kept laughing at Chelsea when they kept hiring and firing players and managers. Nobody is laughing now. Dan Ashworth badly botched his first transfer window. 200m spent did not improve the team.
@Caolan Z: why what have Chelsea done since
@Caolan Z: man u are finished
So change the sporting director and all will be well it seems.
@Bert Carolan: well he was the teapot who signed the most recent duds and extended ten hags contact. Radcliffe won’t tolerate that
@anthony davoren: Did Radcliffe not appoint him?
Will be looking for a new manager shortly
@Hugh Casey:great insight there Hugh. Please explain your deep understanding and reasoning to us all
@Dessie: some patterns are easy to follow.
@Hugh Casey: when
A catalogue of bad decisions at Utd. The most recent being the hire of an unquestionably gifted manager, to manage a squad that in no way suits how he plays.
@Phil McCabe: I assume that’s how it normally works ..then the manager acquires player’s that suits his style to compliment the existing players who can adapt. Then cut loose the players that are unable to adapt.
@Phil McCabe: apparently one of the reasons Liverpool knocked him back, he was uncompromising about playing 3 at the back, best of luck with that lads!
@damien leen: so what your saying is liverpool wanted a manager that played 3 at the back but not want him to play 3 at the back. Sounds like you were in the room when them decisions were made
@anthony davoren: now now Anthony there is no need to speak sense on this forum, we have a few people that will hurt their wee heads reading your comments.
@anthony davoren: sure, that makes sense, but the amount of money they’ve wasted in the last 6 months alone is shocking. Sir Jim needs to change the culture and this sacking must be part of that change.
Jesus these football teams show no patience
