I have been waiting for this day to say.

[sylofox]

I like others told you so.

Foxes never quit as the saying goes.

 

But most did are you big enough to say you had given up?

Most of the few that said we could do it got slagged off on here for having that view.

 

Now is our time the players and the manager onwards and upwards next season.

 

So around about the Hull game did you have us buried ?

[Munshi]

Thought we were gonna do it all along. Woooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Guest kristianity77]

After the Hull game I'll admit I thought we were gone.  I think a lot of people probably did even if they didn't come out and say it.  Most neutrals would have written us off and rightly so based on the table at the time.

But you have not voted lol

[Captain...]

Shit wording of the question, I always backed the manager and the players, but after spurs I did think we were going down. I knew we could stay up but I wouldn't have backed us in the betting sense, I wouldn't have put any money on it.

[Dr The Singh]

I thought we gone in November!!

[Mark_w]

I voted for both, partly because I can, partly becuase my brain flip-flopped between despair and optimism every few minutes ever since the Burnley home game.

[Bettsj2]

Any chance of merging some of these threads?

But some of us.

 

In the words of Bon Jovi 

 

Kept the faith.

With what looked a good run in that turned out easy   

[Munshi]

But you have not voted lol

I have mate ages ago wooooooooo

[Benguin]

I said we'd get 46 points in March!

[Munshi]

But you have not voted lol

Allez les bleu woooo

[bovril]

Looking at it objectively, of course I thought we were gone.

 

I wrote the West Ham game off as a law-of-averages win on route to a certain relegation.

 

The first inkling I got that we might just pull it off was that magnificent Vardy goal at the Hawthornes, a goal that deserves to go down in Leicester lore alongside Calridge's shin and Tony James in 1991. If any goal kept us up, it was that one.

 

Those insane 60 seconds against Burnley convinced me we'd do it. 60 seconds that encapsulated our season, from agony to ecstasy in less than a minute and 80 yards of football pitch. Since then I've just been waiting to get it confirmed, to put away that nagging doubt I always had in the back of my head.

 

The greatest escape in top flight history, surely. What a time to be a Leicester fan. We'll always have Sunderland 2015.

[Guest bss9401]

I thought that we were gone, NP was gone and that he was losing his sanity! I don't care that I was wrong. Pretty much everyone apart from die hard optimists and unshakable NP fans thought that we were gone. Magnificent achievement.

Big on you for admitting it no hard feelings.

 

But we can all party together

[lgfualol]

I thought we were gone but wanted Pearson to stay. 

[Blanesta]

it didn't look good, we'd got 4 wins all season! And Pearson said we needed 5 wins to stay up! it was a big ask! But then it clicked! What more can you say? I'm sure lots of you in the know people knew we'd do it!

[shailen]

I've backed us all season and even before West Ham I thought we could still do it. However I did not envisage us doing what we have. 19 points from 24 is incredible, and what's even more incredible is that other teams around us have got wins that I did not expect. Was almost certain that 35 points would be enough to stay up, which still might be the case, but more teams have more points than what I thought. 

[One Legged Beaver]

Thought we were gone after the Hull game, but not for one moment did I want Pearson gone.

[Strokes]

I voted for both, partly because I can, partly becuase my brain flip-flopped between despair and optimism every few minutes ever since the Burnley home game.

Same.

[dedlock]

I thought we were gone but wanted Pearson to stay. 

Agreed

[Raj]

I never had us in trouble......

[Fox92]

I felt both and I genuinely think most fans thought the same.

[4everfox]

I've voted for gone, even though I've never stopped backing the team, because the team has never gave up. The only thing I'm guilty of is doubting the players' ability in this league and I'm delighted that they have proved me wrong. Their effort has been faultless all season. But in the very recent past we were dead and buried absolutely no question, and now we're f#cking zombies!

[Carl the Llama]

Looking at that poll I'm calling bullshit on about 90% of you.  It is categorically untrue that the majority of our fans thought we were staying up at 7 points adrift, as the poll seems to suggest.
