We have won 6 consecutive fa cup games -  that must be a record?!

I hope we can have a proper go at defending it- our League Cup defences in 1997 and 2000 were terrible.

As was our defence of the PL title.

Manchester United 

Liverpool 

Arsenal

Manchester City 

Chelsea

Tottenham Hotspur

Aston Villa

Wolves

Blackburn

Sheffield Wednesday 

Nottingham Forest

West Brom

Leeds United 

Leicester City

 

Without checking, I'm calling this wrong; Arsenal, at least, haven't dropped below the second tier.

 

I suspect you are confusing the old 'Division One' (which was the top flight) with the current 'Division One' which is the old 'Division Three'

He was listing the teams who have won the League, FA Cup, League Cup and Charity Shield. Plenty of those teams haven't been below the second tier.

Yep, I misread it.

 

Thanks.

[Corky]

I'd like to win the Charity Shield again but as a league or cup winner.

[Royston.]

Sorry to dampen the mood but is vardys current record of 1 goal in I don't know how many games, the longest he's ever been through during his leicester career?

 

His entire career probably??

We seem to do win trophies/big finals just before European Championships are played.

Bloody hell that last stat about Tielemans being born when Matt Elliott scored against Sheff Wed makes me feel bloody old!

The celebrations there were brilliant! And part of me thought this was as good as it gets as a Leicester fan - a league cup, staying up and a trip into Europe. Little did I know what was about to come!

Brought back some memories. I had to work in London that day. Walked out of Leicester station and heard a massive raw from Filbert Street, Elliott had just scored.

Apart from 1984, 1988, 1992, 2004, 2008, 2012...

Since being relegated to League One in 2008, we ended up winning the Premier League and the FA Cup before Liverpool.

Did you know we are officially the team who have played the most FA Cup finals without winning still?

Good to know!

According to Tuchel we still haven’t won it. 🤣

I’ve looked this up, cross referenced lists and I believe it to be true:

 

Steve Guppy is the only player to have represented both the England C Team (formerly known as the England Semi Professional Team) and the Full England National Team.

I’m ****ing desperate for us to win the Europa next season.

Between Youri Tielemans’ Leicester debut in February 2019 and now, 792 players have appeared in the Premier League, and only one can beat his 86 appearances.
 

That player is Kasper Schmeichel, with 87.

When we appear in the Community Shield on August 7th it will be the 50th anniversary of our first appearance in the fixture. 
 

Bonus fact: we were only the second club to attend the fixture despite having never won the league or the FA Cup. We’ve finally won both.

Other team is Brighton I think.

I think it's a bit desperate to claim our CS win.

 

As Second Division Champions we had no business being in it.

We were in the final, and we won, so we won it. But you're right it would be nice to win it by qualifying the proper way.
