davieG Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 Sorry to be a sourness but I've been here before. Just two examples of how things can and do go wrong. It's fine being optimistic and enjoying the occasion I know as well as anyone the chance may not happen again in your life times but lets not talk as if we're already champions The 1962–63 season was Leicester City's 58th season in the Football League and their 20th (non-consecutive) season in the first tier of English football. Under the management of Matt Gillies and starring players such as Gordon Banks, Frank McLintock and Dave Gibson, Leicester sensationally chased the double. Eventually falling short after losing 3-1 to Manchester United in the FA Cup Final and after gaining just one win from their final nine league games their title challenge collapsed and the Foxes eventually finished in a disappointing 4th position. The side from the 1962-63 season is often regarded as the finest side in Leicester City's post-war history My football life will be complete if we do win it.

Voll Blau Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 Completely with you on this. Some people acting like we've done it is making me very uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkielcfc Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 I've not a problem the backing the blues campaign that's absolutely fine, but that premier league trophy should not be going around the city, it's not ours yet...I do think it will be yes, but radio Leicester and Leicester Mercury could well be really tempting fate today...I hope I'm wrong.

ramboacdc Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 we still might not win anything. we have a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. look at watford/wolves/cardiff/spurs away in 03/04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 Most people getting carried away with it are the ones who don't really care and have just jumped on bandwagon. Most of the 'loyal' supporters are still sitting with their arses firmly clenched. I like the idea of the back the blues, but its going a bit too far. Almost being treated like the lead up to a cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaqo88 Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 After everything that has happened in recent years nothing would surprise me anymore. Just praying that we can do it ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ttfn Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 As somebody who lives in NW London, probably (long) walking distance from Wembley, I'm pretty obsessed with seeing us at the new stadium. Since I've lived there we've been 1 game away 3 times - Cardiff play-off, Watford play-off and the FA Cup QF at Stamford Bridge. On 2 of those occasions we've fallen agonisingly short. Right now we've got as good a chance of getting to Wembley (in the Community Shield) as we did when Knockaert stood over the ball on the penalty spot at Vicarage Road. Let's hope that it's 4th time lucky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderbyFox Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 It really is bizarre. 3 points away from the title and The Mercury and RL decide to heap pressure on the players by parading the trophy around? Really strange. Like I said in the previous thread, can they not wait a week or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merging Cultures Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 I like the idea of the back the blues, but its going a bit too far. Almost being treated like the lead up to a cup final. Well, it pretty much is, isn't it? Three games left, we need to win one, just like a cup final or play-off final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesilverfox Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 Totally agree. Although the trophy is touring with Barclay's around the country and it just coincidence that it's in Leicester now. Most of us have seen Leicester fall at the final hurdle too many times to believe we've won it until the points are in the bag. Even then I probably won't.

Jakemoore Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 We do only need one win from our three remaining games or three draws. We WILL win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 We're 7 points clear with 3 games to go. I'm going to enjoy that fact and i'll be celebrating it. You can all be as pessimistic as you like but we're clearly going to win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovril Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 Spurs will come out guns blazing against Chelsea, I'm sure. I fancy us to draw and them to get 3 points to prolong the agony. I would be worried that we're 'getting carried away', but I know for sure that the staff and the players will be taking nothing for granted yet.

ARM1968 Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 Agreed. It's only in the bag when it's in the bag. It ain't in the bag. However I believe it may soon be stuffed into the bag on our behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid post, If Tottenham beat Chelsea and we don't beat Everton then it's anybodies title if that happens. We're in a great position but it doesn't take a remarkable sequence of events to lose it from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallpauldj Posted 29 April 2016 Share Posted 29 April 2016 Man.utd will be tough and ill take a draw, Everton have been poor for ages tho and we should be beating them at home. if not Chelsea away and saints at home are also tough fixtures for Spurs which they need to win both.
