Trav Le Bleu Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 Yes! We... Leicester City... Are on the eve of a 4th season in the Premier League! Who would have thought this when we were promoted just over three years ago? Where we've come from and where we are now just don't compare; even more so if you want to take this back to when the Srivaddhanaprabhas took us over. It has been an amazing past three years, certainly it has never been boring. The great escape, the title win, the second escape and a new manager, selling players for £30m+, buying players for £30m+, Champions League quarter-final, two players in an England team at the same time... 3 years ago, who would have thought? We are improving the team; no more having to sell our best player to buy the players we need in three other positions. You can't get a ticket most games for love nor money. It's almost surreal. I find the doom-mongers to be completely bizarre. Surely they're just joking, right? We're going to have another solid season and next year will be our 5th season in the top flight, which hasn't happened in too long. We can and almost certainly will become one of the established Premier League teams in a season or two. So we're not going to shell out £50m on a midfielder... good! Our record transfers have a habit of disappointing anyhow. Keeping Mahrez, as looks likely, is pretty much the same as signing a new £50m midfielder, especially as he seems to have realised that if he wants his dream move, then he needs to knuckle down. Years ago we would have lost a player like that, as it is, we seem to have learnt from the Kante deal and if you want our best players, you pay what they're worth! We have plenty of cover in most positions, young and promising players who can push on, owners who are willing to invest. No doubt the Johnny Comelately glory hunters associating with the club are thinking that these should all be a given, but anyone who has been a fan for years should be salivating at the mouth and looking forward to what is ahead of us for the next 9-10 months. I'm not saying we're going to win the league again, I'm not saying top four, but I can't see why not, with fair winds, we can't make it into Europe again. I for one am really, really looking forward to the season ahead. Whatever comes, it won't be boring, but I just have a feeling it's going to be tinted blue. COYB! 2017-18

StanSP Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 14/15 - nearly relegated 15/16 - win the league 16/17 - not quite relegated but CL quarters achieved 17/18 - win the league again and win the CL
steveb Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 love it - think we have some really good signings - can't wait come on you foxes
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 Yes well said. Seems like a lot of people have got accustomed to PL life very quickly and I'd suggest they either forgot where we came from or more likely weren't there for it
Swarles Barkley Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 I reckon we're due a boring season. Must be about 7yrs ago when nothing happened all season of any remote concern or fortune. I wouldnt mind it tbf, just a year to enjoy being in the PL if that makes sense. No relegation to worry about and a nice little cup run would be great then push on the year after
lgfualol Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 Feels like decades ago when a TV stream of us playing some shite team was rare. I never wanna be relegated and be forced to listen to radio Leicester.

Fox92 Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 A top flight club and I wouldn't want it any other way. Very excited for Arsenal away tomorrow. Up the Foxes.

I remember loading up my stream site every week praying for a Leicester one, happened about once every 8 games and was shite quality with a random foreign commentator speaking gibberish. Long live the days of HD streams every week!

leicesterlad1989 Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 Quote In 19 of the past 27 years, going back to that first season of the 1990s and under the leadership of 18 permanent managers, Leicester have either been promoted, relegated, dramatically avoided relegation, competed in the play-offs (twice losing in the final), won a major trophy or lost in the League Cup final. More than 70% of all seasons over nearly three decades have featured significant drama, culminating in the unexpected glory of the Premier League title in 2015-16. It's going to be interesting as usual! This doesn't take into account of manger situations, signings and off the field incidents. Always fun being a Leicester fan. Bring it on.
Koke Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 Our line up on our first game back in the PL... Jeffrey Schlupp blazing one into row Z and Everton scoring cracking goals are my memories of this game.
SystonFox Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 OH HOW I WANT TO BE IN THAT NUMBAR WHEN THE BLUES GO MARCHING IN. THE LESTOH THE LESTOH THE LESTOH

Can remember going Chelsea the following week and we started with Hammond and King while GTF came on.
Wycombe Fox Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 I'm very excited by the potential of Vardy and Iheanacho up front together.

Who would have thought this when we were promoted just over three years ago?... This eclipses the three PL seasons of the MO'N era although we had two more consecutive PL years when that vandal Peter Taylor got his hands on the team, so that was 5 consecutive years. I think that this team will beat that. Does anyone know what the record is for consecutive seasons played in the top fight?
