Honestly, regardless of the result I'd have left satisfied today.

Satisfied that we don't have to endure that absolute embarrassment of a pre-match lightshow they put on 

Lights off, soulless music blaring for about 6 minutes, it's like they wanted to hide the fact that there were fans in the stadium!

Saints fans were actually decent in the first half, but thankfully their stadium stopped them getting anything going early doors.

Great win!

Just like how Rodgers started and how fans reacted, as I recall.

 

We stop playing for sure when we are not playing our game. When you run to the corner flag and then lose possession anyway instead of trying to take a shot, that is not playing our game. Game manage against Rotherham is not exactly confidence building. I don’t see Man City game manage normally - they continue to attack.

 

But it is a process, and I hope this is just a phase. After years of Rodgers, I just don’t want us to go back to that.

You're always gonna be disappointed if you expect us to play like Man City and Liverpool, and we're a long long way off competing with them again. Just enjoy winning games instead of picking holes 5 games into a manager's reign.

'leicester' will rise again rather than 'we' will rise again, or am I looking too much into it?

Second half exactly what I was hoping for. Sure we got outclasses first half, but 90% of team do at the etihad.

Smith will have learned a valuable lesson today: start Kelechi every remaining game. Maybe he'll finally become the main man his performances have consistently deserved. COYF

Let me put this plainly.  Supply and demand set the price of most things, including PL tickets.  Not anybody’s feelings about what they "should” cost.

 

The PL is the world’s most popular sports league.  The KP is usually packed.  Yet LCFC doesn’t charge much more for a basic ST than the bigger championship clubs.

 

Why care so much about what the most expensive ticket costs anyway?  I can’t afford a courtside seat for the Cavs any more than I can buy a Ferrari.  What matters to me is the price of a decent upper deck seat where I can go and enjoy the game.  If I want to watch hoops from third row center court, I occasionally go to Cleveland State University games -- where that seat is $25 for the simple reason that not many other people want it.  Life is good either way.

 

But by all means, keep moaning like the damned over ticket prices we can only dream of. 

 

You think we're all sat in a room bashing our heads against a wall trying to figure out how prices could possibly get so high? No mate, we all know football clubs are businesses. That's the f-ing problem.

You can also rationalise why taxes, petrol and energy is so expensive, doesn't make it any easier to deal with if you're already scraping the barrel.

But this is a much wider conversation about the money in football for me, costs are passed on to the fans via ticket prices while players kick up fuss about an extra 20 grand a week.

But I'm proper digressing. Agree to disagree.

The cheapest seat at a Cleveland Browns game costs more than that.*  And that’s just a few nosebleed seats much further from the action than anything in most English stadiums.

 

If there’s people or businesses who are OK with paying 60 pounds per seat, why should they be given away for less?  These are not charities, they are football clubs trying to invest and compete.  There are plenty of seats for much less than that.

 

*  $79

Horrible argument. If there are wealthier people able to pay for it then feck the rest?

The commentator on my stream “just shows, the Leicester defence CAN be breached” 

Both of them are coming out with some rubbish, wouldn’t surprise me if they both had ‘weghorst can I have your shirt’ signs

Very typical of Rodgers’ tenure: I’d have taken it at the start, but to have bottled at the last I’m fuming!

I see dropping players to send a message was only for the game we had no chance of winning anyway

He needs to lose his football career, as an example to other young footballers that you are not untouchable (on top of criminal charges of course)

Look at all of us seeing if OP still around 

last seen in 2017 if you’re curious

Sure we had about 8000 last time we went in the cup, circa 2012?

 

I was front row, right by the corner flag, possibly the greatest moment of my life as Andy Reid trotted over to take a corner and I started a full on "YOU FAT BASTARD" 

 

I swear all 8000 joined in! 

And if I recall a retort from the forest fans of ‘he eats what he wants, he eats what he waaaants!’ 

Wonder if Hamza could follow a similar path to Amartey as a stand in centre back. Played really well today

Baffling given that Rodgers has recently been appealing for time off as they're overworked. Undermines the managers sentiments when you show yourself doing **** all in luxury. 

 

 

Is this a troll?

What’s the point of this table it means nothing if every team has played a different number of matches?

It’s ranked on points per game

I think he has predicted us to win about 2 games in all the time he has been doing this predictor thing and we have been a Premier league club.

 

I get the impression that when we do win he feels it’s a fluke or the other team were rubbish .

Was the same with us when we came up. You simply have to win the league and he’ll start taking you seriously

Of that squad, two are still regular starters and three just won the FA Cup.

Three more also won the Premier League.

Our “lovely” fans giving a lot of crap to Owynn now it seems… ffs

 

 

Yet another instance of people using their online presence to hurl abuse at a stranger, only realising the serious effect it has on them when the person reaches a breaking point. Reason 1,000 I quit the likes of Twitter and Facebook.

even worse because the guy he’s standing in for is away because of his own mental health, it’s almost parody.

I find a lot of the last few pages a bit baffling really.

Personally, I'm not a massive fan of goal music and I'm less of a fan of the clappers. I think they're horrifically wasteful (no matter what they're made of) and although they were once a real benefit, I think at this point any benefit to the atmosphere is minimal and I'm sure at times they may well curtail chants.

 

With that said, I'm so bored of reading posts with a holier than though attitude to fandom that often seem as bothered about the outward appearance of the club as it does about what the club is, and what it means to us. I appreciate that a lot of people put a lot of effort into trying to improve the atmosphere and I have no idea about how bad it supposedly is trying to deal with the club on fan engagement, but I can empathise with how it feels to put so much of yourself into something, only for people who don't appreciate your strength of feeling or your personal investment in it to poo poo it and ignore it.

 

I think it was @Line-X's suggestion that clappers could be handed out on the gates, and people could take them if they choose to. I can completely get behind that. What I think is important though really is simply acknowledging and accepting that not everyone has the same idea of what it means to be a fan. Far too often I feel like that is ignored in the dialogue. I think those arguing for a particular type of fandom do appreciate that, but it often doesn't come across that way.

 

Some people will probably always want clappers. They might not sing. That's their prerogative. This club belongs to all of us and we're all entitled to support it how we want to. And also, since when should any of us give a flying fvck about what other fanbases think? Seriously?

Perfectly articulated!!

ive found myself enjoying football much much more since I recognised that most of my football-related bad moods were more about what other fans/media would say/think about us rather than the actual football. For example when we lost to Spurs last season I caught myself thinking ‘god we’re gonna have such a bottler label now’, as if that affects my experience watching Leicester in any way!

I really would recommend people stay away from the weird football areas of Twitter, it’s full of people who’s existence seems to be dedicated to making people feel bad for following another football club to them. Strange behaviour but very easily avoidable.

I was utterly convinced that Kelechi was out of his depth and needed moving on for his sake and ours. Now I’ll never write a player off again
