brucey Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 50 minutes ago, the fox said: With all the support that Leicester is getting from Algerian, it would be nice to have some support back. The problem is that what's best for the club and what's best for the country is completely opposite at the moment. Most people here believe in club over country. It isn't anything specifically against Algeria. If it was Vardy/Drinkwater currently away with England smack in the middle of a relegation battle season, I guarantee most here will be hoping for England to be knocked out asap. Personally I hope Algeria do well, I like seeing Mahrez happy. Unfortunately Algeria doing well would mean less time to recover and less time to get up to speed with the new signings prior to the Sevilla CL game.

Barely noticed him but for the pass out wide to Drinkwater in the first half. Look at the third goal. He's playing everyone on as he's 3 yards behind the rest of the defence. Midfield is surely his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson had a mare until he dropped into it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say that "we" are supporting Leicester. It is my duty to get behind the club that I support and the fact that you assumed that I am a "mahrez fanboy" is starting to get to me. I said it before and I will say it again. I am a Leicester fan. So people need to stop with Algerians=not a true fan propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. My bad for asking for a little emotional support, it is not like two of the club's players are playing in that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the fox Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 I don't get the hostility against us Algerians.

To his defense though and from what I understood, he didn't say 'leicester fans owe us support' but rather he said 'it would be nice that they show us some support', which is totally different.

Some of us might wish you well, some more than others, but some, such as me for example, do not give a flying f**k how well you do, I don't care if two of our players play for you, we've got two players in the Welsh squad, you wouldn't catch me wishing them well under any circumstances. I have absolutely no affiliation with you country and have 0 reasons to want you to do well, and, at the moment, I have every reason to want you out of the AFCON as soon as possible. No one asked you to support Leicester as far as I am aware, you do so out of choice and to suggest we should reciprocate that support especially when Algeria has two very important players we want back as soon as possible is to be quiet frank, ridiculous.

Who is being a tosser now?. I was nothing but respectful . All I said is "it would be nice" and did not mean support as in being a fan. But, just a "good luck"would go a long way. You don't want to do that, fair enough. It is your choice. But don't act like Algeria doing well in the AFCON will not effect Leicester in a positive way (the only negative is that Leicester will not have those players and that will effect our season). Every time mahrez or slimani play they will be playing as Leicester players. Little kids will hear about Leicester the England champions and mahrez, Leicester's best player,the player of the season and the best African player. You could've been more respectful and just answered with " no thanks, I want our players". But you acted like you ate firecrackers for breakfast. Again, it is your choice. And you can do what you want because that will only reflect on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to support an extended stay at the tournament for Algeria. If you could guarantee that Algeria win the tournament, our players come back in form and score 10 goals each in the remaining premier league games I'd be delighted for Algeria to win for Mahrez and Slimani. However, all Leicester fans know that Algerian support will only last as long as we have Algerian players and I suspect no Algerian has actual long term loyalty to City.

In that post, you've gone on to throw your toys out twice and suggested people are taking issue with because of your nationality which has not happened anywhere and is quite an insulting thing to falsely accuse someone of. Hence the post. So I'll stick with you. I think a lot more kids around the world are going to hear about Mahrez and Leicester if he's actually back in Leicester and we are winning games higher up the league and doing well in the FA cup than they are while he's of playing in the AFCON, This may shock you but the PL sort of pisses on the AFCON in terms of global audiences!

ealingfox Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 As far as I can see it doesn't matter how well Algeria do really. We were dogshit with Mahrez and Slimani before they went, we're dogshit now without them, and we'll be dogshit after they come back. So they may as well win it.

Hard to disagree but I'd still rather have the option of playing them or having them on the bench than not. It's not their fault but our squad looks threadbare with them let alone without them.

I am a Leicester fan and I am happy with my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
