QPR fan here.

What your team has done this season is unbelievable. Honestly, I didn't expect Leicester to keep this up all season, but I'm so glad they have.

I'm nervous watching as every game goes by and I celebrate each win as if it's my team winning. I don't know how any of you are getting by with the nerves. lol.

Good luck tomorrow and I sincerely hope you win the league.

Cheers mate! Hope it don't go right down to the wire like it did for your great team of 76 with those wonderful players such as Bowes, Francis, Givens etc

That's not what he said. We have it from Claudio's own mouth that he wasn't keen on Kanté but he caved into Walsh's demands then subsequently realised his error in judgement so it's perfectly fair to doubt that Claudio would have built an equally successful squad if left to his own devices.

Of course, bacause Chelsea is the proof of it

Well all I can say is if it were the other way round and it was Q.P.R  in our position I would be cheering you on to the rafters .  So I can understand the majority of supporters from other clubs willing us on . This is a David and Goliath  story. and it gives hope to all clubs such as us that it can be done . Ps good luck and hope to see you lot back in the Prem asp.

To paraphrase Dicken's

It's the best of times, it's the worst of times.

Nothing in 40 years of support has prepared me for this.

This, although only 23 years for me

I'm feeling the weight of the footballing world on my shoulders as if I could be crushed at any second while still trying to smile and be humble. But it's more like a grimace as I realise I've soiled myself and everybody's looking at me.

Just blow the bloody whistle so I can pass out in my own drunken bodily fluids!

Honest question, how much of this is down to Ranieri?

Nigel Pearson had you rocking at the tail end of last season.

The major difference is Ranieri's ability to read the game and make the right changes to turn it in our favour. A plan b if you like.

Why are they proof of it?  It's a completely different scenario.  At Leicester he isn't able to attract the modern day equivalent of the internationally renowned players he signed for Chelsea like Crespo, Veron or Mutu, nor indeed has he been given the modern-day equivalent of 120 million pounds in 2003 to spend throughout the season.  One similarity is that in Kanté he's brought in the modern-day Makélélé but as already discussed it was somewhat against his wishes.

 

I absolutely love Claudio and I really hate to say anything negative about him but you're mad if you think he'd have achieved the same results without the benefit of Walsh's eye for quality players who are also realistic targets for us.

Strangely I agree with you on Walsh. I think Walsh is a genius.

Loving every minute of it. Only wish would be that I was in Leicester to experience it with all the fans. No worries though as second best I have everybody here wanting us to win knowing what it means to me and also what it means for football

Thanks geezer, I haven't been nervous at all this season - until now.

 

I believe we are all pleasantly surprised, nay, delighted, with our form. Everyone has stepped up this season, and I just pray all their hard work will be rewarded. I have followed the club for 56 years now, and it would mean the world to me, seeing them lift the Premiership Trophy.

 

Thanks again for your kind post.

Strangely?  Like I say Claudio's already held his hands up about being wrong on the Kanté signing and praised Walsh for knowing better than him.  He can admit that his transfer policy isn't perfect so there's no need for anyone here to pretend otherwise.

 

It's unreasonable to expect a man to be brilliant at everything.  The success of his transfer policy for clubs with sugar-daddies like Chelsea and Monaco is without question as is his ability to appraise the quality of his lesser-known players given the time to view them on the training ground.  The ability to unearth hidden gems at other clubs however is not one of his obvious strengths and that's alright because we have someone else for that, someone who Claudio is happy to give credit to where it's due.

The city fans always has the KP a shaking, n rockin...

Just imagine, if we do grab the title, all the other oppo fans on hearing or experiencing it.

It will be like an earthquake vibrating through the whole of Britain.

The ripple will go around the globe at least 3 times.

With luck they'll be able to see it from the space-station..!!!

The tower of pisa will be shaken back to the perpendicular.

Yes. www.pinchaloaf.com

How do you maintain such a serene expression squeezing one out?  My sphincter's so tight these days that every deuce is a battle to push out.

Every football fan of every normal team dreams of one day something panning out like it did in a Roy of the Rovers strip. Almost everybody accustoms themselves to taking the small pleasures where they come - a cup win here, a promotion push there. And for those times when this doesn't happen you seek joy from the pitch through a mercurial goal or the crushing humiliation of a local rival.

 

We don't expect success, it's the thing that differentiates all of us football fans from followers of the big teams. We don't expect it - we hope for it. We don't buy tickets expecting three points and the inevitable march towards a title challenge in the top flight. It's a hope that breeds a sense of cynicism and humour because it is always dashed. It always goes tits. It's like being a Derby fan always hoping to make it through the play-offs; you know that you could but you know in equal measure that you won't.

 

But you cheer and fight with emotions for each and every ninety minute period.

 

Thank you Mr. QPR bloke. Any person with a head on their shoulders sees your club as the one that fielded Marsh, Bowles and Currie - they know that you gave the world some beautiful moments of footy that we all dream of seeing our sides reproducing. And were you in our position now I'd be rooting for you to lift the title as much as I would any other similar smaller team with genuine supporters and history.

 

And that's how I approach what we're doing this season: I know that what we are on the edge of achieving is something so sublimely special there are few words that could ever sum up the emotions.

 

I've cried at football once. Just the once: When my son had recovered from a near death experience and the armed forces marched around the outside of the pitch a few seasons ago I became overwhelmed with the sense of how fleeting life is, how superficial this game is and how much energy and life it encapsulates.

 

But I've cried so many times over the last few weeks. When the choir sang terrace chants, when reading about how much our win means to other fans around the world, when Fuchs slammed his knuckles into Okazaki's head - the fūcking works.

 

Winning the title doesn't matter. For all of the years we implored our side to make a fūcking effort - this is it, this is the ultimate effort. This is the thing that means anything is possible, the hope I had in my teenage years, the belief that Roy of the Rover told me I should have in my club. That one day, somehow, against the odds, you can make a difference. This is no cup run, this is Foxes Never Quit for an entire season. This is incredible.

 

So I'm not nervous. How can you be nervous when what you are watching is so damn amazing? I'm in awe. I'm in awe of the crowd who never used to make a noise, of a team I've never seen play with such brotherhood, of owners who have lived up to every promise. I'm even in awe of Stringer not being annoying.

 

Whatever happens, this was a season like no other in my living memory. It's a season I feel so privileged to have witnessed. I love you all.

Really little enjoyment? Could you ever be happy? How could you not be loving what our team is doing. Greatest time to be a Foxes fan and you say you get little enjoyment.
