Your defining memory

manchester city away was when people really started to believe, but watching mahrez against chelsea turning azpilacueta inside and out and back in again before scoring was brilliant. also crying like a baby when chelsea equalised against spurs and realising we had done it

Posted

Coming back to Leicester for a week and actually being with City fans - at the West Brom 2-2 and the following Saturday in the Friary watching Mahrez score at Watford.

After the game at Palace.

This, Selhurst park all day long, if you say different you weren't there.

Etihad was up there but still a long way to go, Selhurst park scenes were spontaneous and unbelievable.

So many.

Agreeing with my Dad before the Sunderland game in August that it was an 'early six pointer'.

Watching the Villa comeback online on a train and going mental when Vardy scored, much to the consternation of my fellow travellers.

Watching the Man City game in a pub in Kosovo packed full of people who had no interest in the game whatsoever.

Ulloa's two late goals. What a hero.

I have very little recollection, ironically, of the ten minutes between Hazard's goal and the final whistle two weeks ago. No idea where my head was at the time.

So many little things defined this season for me.

Even down to things like our formation from opposition's corners...

I was just thinking about that yesterday. It was so audacious, really sums up the fearless way we approached this season. We've not done it for a while but I really hope we pull that one at Barcelona next year. It'll scare the pants off them!

I sometimes forget the first half of the season happened really, but Vardy's breakaway goal at WBA was special. Think it was his 8th in the streak and we were just bloody awesome that day. I knew our start of the season really was no fluke after that game because we just looked the bollocks. Probably not my 'defining' memory like, but it deserves a mention.

Man City. We went to the most feared home ground in the country and could've easily won 0-5. That was proof to me that we're a fvcking brilliant side rather than a shit one on a lucky streak.

Posted

Mahrez's goal against Man City. Vardy's goals against Utd and Liverpool. Man there's so many glorious memories of this season.

What a truly unbelievable season we've had.

Posted

Manchester City away. I'll never forget going there - the place where teams struggle, the side that spend the most and are the most feared in the country - and winning. Not just winning but actually battering them. We could've had five or six that day. One of my most favourite and best away days.

The post goal roar, I don't mean after we score but after we conceded at home the response from the crowd was terrific, I'm particularly thinking of the West Brom game, I had forgotten about this as we hadn't conceded at home all year until that game, but the response was fantastic, it was also memorable against Spurs, Villa and Arsenal. It was a real boost to the team and inspired many a come back.

 

The Arsenal game was another moment where (and I know I have said this before) the way the fans responded to that thrashing  was just amazing, losing 5-2 could have knocked us, could have made us question our attacking principles, but it didn't because every single Leicester fan in the ground applauded our boys off as heroes because they had taken it to the best team in the league, not backed down and thrown everything at them to try and win the game and not be scared of losing.

Loss to Arsenal away, and linking that next game against Norwich with Ulloas last minute goal,

I went from believing, to...knowing from those 2 moment it was ours.

I felt since the Chelsea home game, that CL position was going to be ours.

Unlike a few including Merson, Carragher, Souness, I never thought the last 3

games would be defining for either us or Spurs. So I called it and got 50-50.

Spurs just lost it!!! Strange I had said to my son, before Chelsea-Hazard Game,

Spurs wont win the last 2 games against Soton nor Newcastle.That they collapsed

in all 3 games did suprise me however.

Tottenham 0-1 Leicester

Huth's header will long live in my memory.

I sometimes forget the first half of the season happened really, but Vardy's breakaway goal at WBA was special. Think it was his 8th in the streak and we were just bloody awesome that day. I knew our start of the season really was no fluke after that game because we just looked the bollocks. Probably not my 'defining' memory like, but it deserves a mention.

The WBA goal is really underrated. We went from our box to theirs in 10 seconds flat with one touch slick passing. Kante to Vardy, Vardy to Drinkwater, Drinkwater to Vardy. Goal. It's actually one of my favourite goals of the season.

Spurs away was crucial, you knew we'd be up there after grinding out a result there.

 

You'd have to say Man City away is right up there too. As Mahrez's shot hits the back of the net I didn't know what to do with myself; in that moment it struck me how good we really were. 

 

I've often been critical of him, but Leo's penalty against West Ham in terms of the psychological boost that gave everyone at the club was absolutely massive. There have been loads of 'signs of champions' over the season, he provided two of the biggest in the Norwich and West Ham games.

 

For me though I just felt we'd win it after Arsenal away. I tweeted it as I was walking out of the Emirates, and it was the first time I think I honestly believed we'd do it. The fans staying behind at the end to sing for the lads who had given everything that game was brilliant. Everyone wrote us off again, but you could see in the way we played that we'd never let this go without a fight.

 

So many great moments it's hard to really pick out one. What a team, the whole season has been a privilege.

Seeing the plinth of the EPL trophy with MANCHESTER UNITED (several times), MANCHESTER CITY, CHELSEA and then freshly engraved LEICESTER CITY.

 

Wow.

Posted

You know, I can't really pick one. My belief grew gradually over the season, I wouldn't pick any one moment where I thought 'we're gonna do it'.

 

One of the things I'll always recall though is when we lost to Arsenal at home. I'd never been so satisfied to watch us lose. It was so refreshing to see us try and beat a team like Arsenal at their own game, to go toe to toe with attacking flair. At the time, it didn't really matter we'd lost. We were doing all I ask of a Leicester team. To have a go. Little did I know that that match would be significant for a completely different reason.

 

So many memorable moments though, too many to list.

Singing "We're Top of the League" defiantly after conceding the winner to Arsenal. Put everything in perspective and we remained there. No hysteria, no crying that it was all over for us, just a knowledge that the team would bounce back and keep going. Proved the faith in the players that the fans had.

Posted

in terms of actual belief it would be the scenes post palace, I wasn't there but to see pretty much every fan there sing with genuine belief that we would win the league kind of made me realise what was going on.

That HUTH header down at White Hart Lane, and on returning to the coach, getting on, sitting down, and seeing an Urban Fox. Then, I knew it would be our year.  :)

 

Reminded me of the QPR squirrel !
