  1. Yep. We'd looked clueless after the Wycombe game. Even Coventry and Middlesbrough were coming into Filbo and beating us comfortably. Then Spurs turn up and low and behold we get a pretty dominant win. And yes Heskey used to absolutely terrorise them. Thinking of the game at WHL in 96, then the home games in the subsequent two seasons. I hadn't thought about it but you're right that we've always beaten them even when we've been terrible. It's hilarious.
  2. A few Fulham fans I know were disappointed he left, which I thought was weird at the time. But he's starting to show he can be useful.
  3. Actually it's probably nearer 40 years. In that period Everton won 2 league titles and one cup. Leeds won one league trophy only I think (did they win a cup in that time?). Villa 2 league cups?
  4. Leaving aside the PL all time list, he's looking very likely to get 200 for us. Which I don't think any of us a few years ago thought we would see a Leicester player do in our lifetime. Quite astonishing when you think of the quality of top PL defences now.
  5. The debate about what club is 'bigger' is pretty meaningless. The fact remains that only 5 clubs have won more than us in the last 30 years. Three whole decades.
  6. I also find the laughing emoji/ no comment reaction pretty annoying and a bit immature, I am Rod Hull used to do it a lot. But it's pretty common across social media. The trick as ever is not to bite... Either he's banned, which is weird because I can't remember any posts from him at all, or he is unbelievably disciplined.
  7. The 2-1 final game at Filbo was 2002. But your point still stands because the previous season (00/01) we went on that atrocious run of 9 wins from 10. And of course that one win was against...
  8. Ah great. It's a beautiful place for sure.
  9. Was interesting being in such a cavernous and totally empty pub. Felt like someone was going to bring out a copy of Magna Carta for us to sign.
  10. All the food on US adverts genuinely makes me feel a little nauseous.
  11. Haven't really watched much NFL these last few years but watched this season's playoff games and he looks great
  12. This McLaurin guy is pretty good.
  13. I quite like the Korean girl. Someone better at these things than me needs to save "Vardy just drank red buuuullllll" and use it as a goal reaction from here on in.

  15. Christ I hope we can stay up just because of how crap this league is. If we can be outside the relegation zone in late January just imagine what we could do when we're good.
  16. Also scored about 50 goals in the pre PL first division. Was a bit underappreciated at the time I think.
  17. Satisfying finish. Like a long snooker shot that doesn't even kiss the sides on the way in.
  18. Always surprised Sheringham has that many as he was never that prolific, but I guess the longevity helps.
  19. Well **** me
  20. I took to carrying round a 1996 ticket from a Port Vale game as some kind of proof
  21. Mum's family from Sileby and Quorn. But have never lived in Leicestershire and have the wrong accent which aroused some suspicion in 2016.
  22. Not the most sessionable choices there. Impressed you can still type.
  23. I thought all football fans were like me and just predicted the opposite of what they want to happen
  24. Forest will probably win the next two while some of the other top 6 play each other soon. Still think they'll scrape top 4.
