JamesWelshFox Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Did anyone else hear this last night during the game with Portugal. I thought it sounded fantastic and that it might be a nice addition to the noise at the King Power

I thought it sounded fantastic and that it might be a nice addition to the noise at the King Power Sounded fantastic on TV can imagine it's amazing in the stadium. We should pinch that and Sigurdsson while we're at it

foxes21 Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sSwSb7gQuPs omg they even got the clappers imagine we sign sigurdsson & we chant this everytime we got a free kick. the kp would be shaking more than ever!!
Bettsj2 Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 The clappers would make it sound like lightening. Such a good chant.
4everfox Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Trouble is though, we are not Icelandic.... Neither were Vikings
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 16 June 2016 Posted 16 June 2016 Did anyone else hear this last night during the game with Portugal. I thought it sounded fantastic and that it might be a nice addition to the noise at the King Power Vikings came from Scandinavia, not bloody Iceland!

yag101 Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Vikings came from Scandinavia, not bloody Iceland! The lack of historical knowledge here is absolutely appalling. Vikings settled in bloody Iceland!
m4DD0gg Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Vikings came from Scandinavia, not bloody Iceland! Jesus did you learn nothing at school. Icelanders are proud to call themselves descendants Vikings, the whole island has 100's of relics relating to their ancestors.
AmyLGK Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Apparently my surname means Viking Warrior - true story!
Wymsey Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Scandinavia is not a country, and the vikings came from Denmark, Norway and somewhere else.
Finnaldo Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 The Icelandic are the descendants of Vikings. Leicester was part of the Seven Boroughs of Danelaw when the Vikings colonised Britain, so technically so are we.
Finnaldo Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 'Ay up, me duck' is supposed to derive from 'se upp', an old Norse greeting, and duka, which is Saxon term for Duke. 'Thorpe' (Countesthorpe, Elmesthorpe etc.) is Old Norse for settlement. Plenty of Viking history to exploit
The Doctor Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Vikings came from Scandinavia, not bloody Iceland! Iceland is part of the region of Scandinavia...
Great Boos Up Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 B*llocks to Iceland and the snoordyboordys, I'm Anglo Saxon! (apart from Sigurdsson)
Deucalion Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Many Leicestershire place names are Nordic. Groby means Grave Town for instance. The 'gates' in town are from Nordic for street. Leicestershire also has some of the highest concentrations of Nordic DNA in Britain. We can justify the Icelandic war cry !!
MPH Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Neither were VikingsAre you being serious? The settlement of Iceland was part of a wider pattern of Viking migration
shen Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Iceland is part of the region of Scandinavia... No, not in the strict terms it's not. Norway, Sweden and Denmark make up Scandinavia. Add Iceland, the Faroes and Finland and you get the Nordic countries.
Jaspa Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 The Yanks were using this in their match against Ecuador last night, so its a no for me. Although I always thought 'Thats the way we like it', was an American thing initially and that caught on pretty well
NeilLCFC Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 The lack of historical knowledge here is absolutely appalling. Vikings settled in bloody Iceland! Which aisle did they settle in?
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 Which aisle did they settle in? Aisle 12, frozen meats
