Phube Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 There are narratives every where I this team... But am I missing any? Here are the ones I can think of: Leicester City FC: 132 years and no top level win, coming close twice in all that time. Claudio: 30 years managing some of the biggest clubs in Europe only to finish second at them, never winning a domestic league. Simpson: Many years at clubs under achieving, and then the conviction in the summer, not wanted by 90% of City fans at the start of the season. Playing his socks off at the mo'! Huth: Winner at Chelsea, went to Stoke and was 'surplus to requirements' left for us - they nose dive! Morgan: Second tier centre back all his career, dodgy first Prem season, imperious second! Fuchs: ? Mahrez: Too well known. Kante: Low level French footballer who was too small for top level football. Drinky: Rejected by Man U, went down the leagues to succeed, now England caps! Albrighton: Let go by Villa for FREE! Look where they ended up! Some would say his inclusion in the team (finally!) helped us to survive last year! : whistle: Okasaki: ? Vardy: Too many narratives to mention! King: One club man, been there at League One, Championship and now Prem. Ultimate professional! Any more?
Guest ttfn Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Wasyl's career looked like it might be over 4 or 5 years ago after that "tackle" by Witsel. Schwarzer would be the oldest member of a Premier League winning squad, having played against Leicester the time before last that we won a trophy (1997). De Laet's chances of two winners' medals in a season unfortunately appear to have gone tits up.
Aus Fox Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Schwarzer winning a league winners medal two years in a row, without playing a game De Laet possible championship and Premier League winners medal. Kasper possibly winning a league on the ground he watched his dad win so many. Wasyl coming back from that injury Jeff being Jeff and possibly having more league winners medals than Stevie G. Gray spotted in a pre season friendly.
Jimothy Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 I wouldn't say Stoke had nosed dived. They're a few points and one position worse off then where they finished last season.
Crinklyfox Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Doesn't a player have to have played in five league matches minimum to automatically get a league winners medal? Schwarzer wouldn't qualify if that's the case.
Jimothy Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Doesn't a player have to have played in five league matches minimum to automatically get a league winners medal? Schwarzer wouldn't qualify if that's the case. It's been mentioned about 9000 times on the forum, the club get a set amount of medals and once the players who played 5 or more get one they can give them to whichever player or coaching staff they like. They can also buy more medals if they want.
stripeyfox Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Plucky underdog gate crashes closed shop of Champions League qualification. Changes football and the world forever... Re-burial of long dead King ignites the Foxes and changes them into world beaters. Attractive game show host who sports Manchester United secretly supports Leicester and inspires them to Premier league survival, then glory.
kushiro Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Just as the breakaway league proposal rears its ugly head again, Leicester come along and show the football world just what's at stake. IF it happens, first new league title winners for almost 40 years. A team with a group of British players at its heart tells a top Italian manager 'We don't want too much tactical advice, we just want to carry on as we are'. With incredble results.
Webbo Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Boring,racist, long ball ,drug cheats deny the greatest football team of all time. Sorry, wrong forum.
Sir Shep Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Boring,racist, long ball ,drug cheats deny the greatest football team of all time. Sorry, wrong forum. but you forgot lucky!
Captain... Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Fuchs was surplus to requirements at Schalke, convinced to sign for Leicester by a man who got sacked a few weeks later and they never met.
jaqo88 Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Schmeichel being in the shadow of his 5-time premier league winning father.... Now he has the chance to win it at the club where his dad found so much success!
Phube Posted 30 April 2016 Author Posted 30 April 2016 The main reason for this is compared to Man City, Man U et al. We do have a lot of narratives. Most others seem to be: Highly successful manager, spends multi millions on very talented squad, beats other expensive, highly talented teams to title. Whilst also rans (anyone below 6th) just hope for a point!
Manjiro Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 It's slightly anciliary but the 5000/1 gets a regular airing, especially in the "same odds as ..." meme. My favourite is probably Elvis being found alive. It used to be "same odds as Manjiro sh*****g Rachel R", but now that one's gone ;-)
los dedos Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 If/when we win it how many players were produced through the English coaching system.Apart from the players that can play for England.So we have to include Morgan,Schmeichel,King and Jeff.Anymore?
Manjiro Posted 30 April 2016 Posted 30 April 2016 Btw, that 5000/1 meme gets a nice mention in this well-written piece http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/05/01/sports/soccer/how-leicester-city-went-right-side-up.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0&referer=https://t.co/h4JMAPpkCG
k1bigjay Posted 1 May 2016 Posted 1 May 2016 Last time lcfc failed to get three points from three consecutive games... back end of 2014!
