ARM1968 Posted 27 April 2016 Posted 27 April 2016 I actually believe next season could be interesting. Three of the top teams at least with new managers, possibly Arsenal too. Klopp with a transfer window, Poch kicking on. Could be as interesting as this season with us in with a shout - now that would be incredible.
foxoffderby Posted 27 April 2016 Posted 27 April 2016 I hate this saying! All of the pundits who now have red faces from writing us off all season are using this. No disrespect to Leicester but.....Arsenal/Liverpool/Everton/etc. should've took advantage of this season because the usual top 4 weren't playing well! What a load of s***! We played well all season long and deserve it! We beat all the sides that supposedly should've been up there because we are better than them. I could carry ranting on but I think you get it! Also, please put all your evidenced (photo/screenshot from Twitter for example) comments on Leicester from red faced pundits in this thread. If we can get a few together, it would be good to do something with it. No disrespect but some twats are never happy
Carl the Llama Posted 27 April 2016 Posted 27 April 2016 http://www.redcafe.net/threads/predictions-for-leicester-in-summer-and-next-season.416810/ Reading this p*sses me off a bit. Looks like we can prove people wrong again next season! Was trying to figure out what comment #19 meant by If they continue upon their DNA and not change much of their tactics, they can still challenge for the top four despite other teams being more mentally prepared to compete. and then I looked at the user profile next to the comment. Spurs fan. What I really don't get though is the comments on there (and on other forums) about how the usual suspects will restore 'normality' after a summer of big spending puts them back in the driving seat. Talk about sleeping through class.
MC Prussian Posted 28 April 2016 Posted 28 April 2016 At the time, I suppose the pundits were right. When you have a Premier League that is 24 years old and nothing but five different winners to show for, then any team breaking through that barrier will need a lot of resilience and impact in order to challenge the status quo, so to speak. Some pundits or papers might be using the laws of probability, others are deeply biased, who knows...? I agree, it would be kind of funny to have a compilation of all the terrible things said about us before and during this season in book form. However, winning the title would also mean a big two fingers up any London rag's or biased journalist's ***. And in that case, I'd be tempted to start an "Up yours" thread aimed at them, but still think that it'd do much more damage if we simply enjoyed the ride as we're doing right now, soak it all up and rejoice. For everything else, there's the "Do they mean us...?" thread.
Bettsj2 Posted 28 April 2016 Posted 28 April 2016 All if these video clips are the exact reason I only watch American coverage of our games and not Sky. The punditry over there bases everything on merit and you dont have people like Souness who have an obvious agenda.

brigfox Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 According to BT Sport THIS WEEK'S MAIN EVENT: yes, you guessed it Swansea v Liverpool Can't wait.
Spence Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 No disrespect, but little Leicester going to big Manchester United and winning the Premier League - it's embarrassing I'm afraid. I don't think it will happen, though, and I think Manchester United will win this game. Paul Merson don't know if it has already been posted in thread.

Dan Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 I honestly wish someone had compiled every ridiculous, deluded, ill informed opinion that every 'journalist' or 'pundit' had spouted about us this season and made it into a book. I'd buy it! I don't think I'd be able to fit the book into my house.

Merson has been tipping is to fail for weeks, clown
DCFC in peace Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 You deserve nothing but respect, and thanks from the wider footballing community. What you are about to achieve is unparalleled, and I say that as a massive Clough fan. Enjoy it.
Rusko187 Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 No disrespect to Leicester but....... Played less matches than other teams No cup, european distractions at heart - kick and rush team big teams self destructing lucky with transfers bubble will burst can't keep a clean sheet grind out 1-0 wins wait until they play the big teams long ball side less pressure because they haven't experienced this before lucky with injuries referees bought into the "fairy tale" awarded more penalties in reality massively funded by foreign tycoons other teams want them to win the title played teams at "the right time" vardy dives oh and so does mahrez not uncomfortable with the "dark arts" play "basic" football did a dodgy deal about shirt sponsorship to get around Financial Fair Play regulations plastic atmosphere - cardboard clappers too many London local derbies Spurs have scored more goals, conceded less and therefore should rightfully be awarded some bonus points % possession statistics / % of successful passes / % of shots on target should be used to award points rather than final score compare the net transfer spend they cheated by going into administration the players are a bit dodgy/ racist/ criminal/ violent/ working class will come a cropper next season sure I've missed some.... Now you've collated it all it's amazing to think we've truly defied the odds.
daddylonglegs Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 Someone mentioned a tifo earlier but how cool would it be to have a '5000/1' tifo at Everton if we did it this weekend..
Brooksy Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 Used to like Merson but it's evident he just acts different for the sake of it. Explains why he predicted us to stay up last year when everyone had written us off. Blokes a twat
Dan Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 Merson used to absolutely love us. Anyone think he's realised we're coming above Arsenal?
Guest Lcfc82 Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 That's exactly what it is with him, he didn't mind us when we were little Leicester just about staying up. Now we have got up above the big boys he and some of the other big club pundits don't like it
Guest ttfn Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 Just reading back over some of Merson's old stuff and his pre-match description of our game at Goodison Park, 5 and a half months and 19 games ago, was that it was "a game too far".
ithuriel Posted 29 April 2016 Posted 29 April 2016 Had an argument in a shop on the way into town, the shop keeper asked me if he thought we would win it, then slowly started to pour scorn on the team as the conversation went along. Saying we were lucky annoyed me but then he stated as fact we are and have been a long ball team all season, that we would be lucky to finish mid table next season and stated as fact we would get smashed in Europe and quoted a Spurs player regarding the team. I said at the start of the season we played nice football with Claudio altering our play style as the season progressed and asked him how many games he had seen, to which he claimed no, we are nothing but a long ball team and he has watched every single match Leicester have played via a foreign stream in his shop. I kind of lost my rag and told him he was talking bollocks and that I was leaving before I really lost my temper. Not my proudest moment but I hate peeps who talk utter shite about the club when they are utterly clueless, same guy was telling me last week about what a good bit of business buying Kante and Mahrez was preseason .

In circumstances like this, I think how Claudio would react, and I just smile and say thank you for your opinion, and walk on.
