At what point?

[Captain...]

At what point do we stop singing about the greatest achievement in sporting history? Never

[BroughtonFox]

I hope someone comes up with a chant about last season. A bit like United have that late in May in 1999 chant. Just so we can have a chant for lifetime about last season. Need to find a good time first though!

I think people are missing the point here. I'm not saying don't sing about last season, I'm saying do it at the right time and in the right way. When we're 4-1 down at Anfield and singing about not caring about that because we won the league it's sending completely the wrong message.

 

Rather than celebrate the achievement a large proportion of our fan base seem to want to take it as an opportunity to become self-righteous and entitled, exactly the kind of attitude that is a million miles away from the mentality which helped us achieve what we did in the first place.

 

As I said before, savour last season; talk about it, sing about it, remember it. But let's not become that club that clings to it and bangs on about what we once achieved in the face of all that we see before us. We're already on that path to becoming the sad drunk in the bar who tells everyone what he used to be...

well answer the question then, at 4-1 down in injury time what should we be singing? or should we all have left by then? if we needed a goal to stay up on the last day of the season and instead of getting behind the lads we were singing who cares we won the league then you'd have a quite bad, quite pointless point but you'd at least have a point. 

 

right now you just look a bit silly trying to tell us we shouldn't revel in what we are, champions of fu cking england. 

[Deucalion]

It's not about not singing this or that, it's about avoiding a mentality which will hinder us and instead developing something of the seige mentality which stood us so well last year.

 

We should expect a relegation battle, and anything above that is a bonus.

[Socks]

Are you serious ?

 

Cant believe I'm reading this!

 

We just just pulled off one of the biggest shock achievements in sporting history! I still cant believe we have done it! I pinch myself every time someone comes up to me and says "Your a Leicester fan? Well done for winning the PL last season it was amazing, you thoroughly deserved it!"

 

This is something I never expected to see in my lifetime, NEVER.  City lifting the EPL trophy! It still fills me up when I watch big Wes & Ranieiri lift the trophy, which I admittedly still watch every now & then.  I will never forget this and will never feel ashamed of singing what we did to any football fans.

 

Neither should you...  We are Champions of England, enjoy it...

Exactly. I'm sure the same people who are banging on about being champions every game will still ask the question where the hunger and desire from the players has gone if we don't get it back and don't start doing what made us champions in the first place. Not seeing that they'll have contributed to a mentality of feeling that we've achieved all that we needed to for until the end of time.

[sdb]

It feels silly because the players aren't really at it currently. We can't stop singing! It's been underwhelming enough already in the stands this season. God forbid it should get any quieter. 

[Deucalion]

I don't think anybody wants to stop anyone singing.  We need more singing, more shouting, more atmosphere.

 

It's just that, harsh as it seems, Leicester being Champions is already history.  

 

We are as good as our last game and the result and performance in our last game left a lot to be desired.

Excuse meeeeeeeee !!  We are still champions, we are far from being history.

sound, you get the "we expect a relegation battle" chant going next week and we'll all join in. hope it's got a catchy tune. 

[narboroughblue]

I'd rather sing about being champions than the embarrassment of 'you let your country down' to anyone who went to the Euros with England other than our player. 

[Dan]

I don't mind us signing about last season every now and then. I'd definitely take that over the following:

 

Your city is blue, just like Leicester, your city is blue - beyond dire.

Steve Gerrard Gerrard, he slipped on his ****ing arse - weird, it meant nothing to us.

We support our local team - that's not funny anymore.

Your support is ****ing shit - if theirs was shit yesterday, what on earth was ours?

 

And plenty of others.

 

Our fans need to up their game big time away from home. Our away ends have gone to complete shit in the last couple of years.

Can't even blame it on coach one anymore or the oldies that sit down the front, I'm standing there singing my heart out yesterday and look round to see only about 5 people (3 of them my mates) actually singing out of about 5/6 rows, we are right up there with the worst away supporters in the league. Could only put Bournemouth, Swansea, Southampton and hull down as worse than us for away atmospheres

Totally agree unfortunately. It's criminal. The concourse was fantastic but the tone was well and truly set when there were genuinely more people recording and holding up scarves (in our end!!!!!) to YNWA than joining into one of our songs at the time. I genuinely cannot believe the lack of pride amongst some of our fans. Mindset is totally wrong. Our fans just aren't vocal away from home and I haven't got a clue why. We've had probably the most exciting time of any club in the last couple of years and our fans couldn't be more run of the mill if they tried.

 

I disagree with the OP to be honest. I have no issue at all with us singing about being champions. Of all the shit that gets spouted that's definitely not one of the ones to eliminate. It only becomes embarrassing once we're not champions, for me anyway.

couldnt agree more, people who record do my head in full stop. YNWA wasn't even that impressive imho.

 

And yeah that's the thing like even when we were top of the bloody premier league for the majority of last season our away support was still shite, few decent ones  e.g palace and Sunderland at the end of the game but some of them were shocking 3-1 at man city and we barely even sung, most away fans would be extatic, staying behind for a good 10-15 mins chanting throughout, not us.

[HighPeakFox]

Whatever the support is or isn't, I highly doubt that it's 'criminal' :-)

 

Least I hope it's not...

[Voll Blau]

Really hope our end is decent on Wednesday, but fearing the worst.

 

Hope people actually sing Leicester songs rather than England ones too...

Hearing really bad things about our end, it's a really weird one. Can someone please explain to my why you would sing in the concourse and not in the stand? Genuinely, I can't get my head around it at all. 

The problem isn't that everyone sings in the concourse and not in the stand.

The problem is that the number of people singing in the concourse is the same number singing in the stands. But in the concourse it seems louder and the numbers are deceiving.

Okay mate when we're 4-1 down away from home let's all sit on our hands and look glum because we're obviously so shit

[Buce]

We should carry on until the players stop playing with the pride and passion of champions.

 

Oh, wait..

[foxy boxing]

why shouldn't we keep singing it? everyone thinks it was a once in a lifetime achievement anyway so we may never sing it again

Genuine question. Why does everyone refer to that tune as Sloop John B? It doesn't sound like the Beach Boys tune to me (if that's what it's supposed to be).

[Bluetintedspecs]

Absolute bollox,  sorry OP but the only thing embarrassing is this thread.

As others have said if you can't celebrate and sing about the momentous achievement, that let's face it, NONE of us expected to see in our lifetimes then it's a sorry state of affairs.

This prissy being embarrassed by or "our end was" crap that is trotted out on here is the true embarrassing stuff. Man up and stop giving a feck what other fans think and be proud of our magnificent achievement.

This at all is bad,   after 4 games it's unbelievably embarrassing
