Matt Posted 25 November 2017 Posted 25 November 2017 I still care as much, but the last season and a half have been a struggle, a bore, I’ve not exactly been buzzing about upcoming games. The only excitement there has been in the last season and a half has been the CL games and it wasn’t just because it was the CL, it was because we were a different beast in the CL, we had a throwback our PL winning style barr those game we’ve been a shadow of our former selves. Last season’s league campaign I wanted over asap, it was written off, the only thing last season will be remember for is the CL. This season is getting that way already except we don’t even have CL to excite us. Our style is dire and bores me to tears - I still care because the fact were dire and boring winds me up, it’s not as if I don’t care about games because I’m simply not bothered, I’ve got reasons for how I feel about the situation.
ajthefox Posted 26 November 2017 Posted 26 November 2017 The thing that's changed for me is the high of winning. Almost every week of that season, the high just kept getting better and better and better. Each win was a bigger than the last one and it was like that for three quarters of a year, culminating in what was the best day of my life. It still just doesn't even seem real to me. In the moment the goals still mean as much as they did before, but knowing that high of the title has changed that sense of perspective through which everything is seen.
dylanlegend Posted 26 November 2017 Posted 26 November 2017 It's definately changed things for me, in terms of level of intensity of watching us. Before I'd be gutted to miss a game, go to great lengths to watch us. Now I'm not as fussed if I have to miss us play. I don't know if it's the fact we won the league or it's just the 'mid table' position we find ourselves in. I can see how West Brom and Stoke fans feel now. It's much more exciting challenging for something. That said I'd hate to support a top 4 side. I can't see us ever winning the league in those circumstances (small squad cost versus huge squads like Man City and Chelsea). The only way we could win it now I think is by getting some trillionaire and spending silly amounts like Man City. It which case it wouldn't be the same, still be great but not the same. The most exciting games for me this season will be the cup games, I don't think Puel helps either. He's no Pearson or Claudio. its not just Leicester I think it's football in general. I just know the feeling I had when we won the league can never be repeated, possibly England winning the World Cup but still wouldn't be as good I don't think.
Wymsey Posted 26 November 2017 Posted 26 November 2017 It feels strange at the moment as the fans aren't sure on how to make the overall performances under Puel thus far, the team appears hit-and-miss at the moment but there's potential to be a strong stable club with him in charge.

tom27111 Posted 26 November 2017 Posted 26 November 2017 I've just seen this and haven't read through all of it, so forgive me if it's been touch upon... If you've ever seen the film adaptation of Nick Hornby's 'Fever Pitch', the end pretty much sums it up for me. I've been obsessed for over 25 years of my life, then we won it. I'm still a huge fan, obviously. But it'll never be like that season again. It's almost as though I can be at peace with it now after witnessing it. We'll never do that again, it's peaked. It was incredible, words can't even describe it, but that's the best it will ever be. I've lost some passion for football in general now. I wish I hadn't. I really wish I hadn't, but as hard as I try, I have. I wouldn't swap winning the league for anything, but I don't care as much as I did. And I'm ashamed to say that, but that's how I feel.
Bayfox Posted 27 November 2017 Posted 27 November 2017 I still love matchdays as much as ever. But the high of winning the top flight was never expected and still all seems a little surreal. The experience of Europe was amazing. No offence but Brugge, sevilla etc shit on palace and Watford So for me I suppose I'm accepting of being in and around the bottom of the table. What I'd love now is to turn over man city and take the 3rd round of the fa cup seriously and back it up in rounds 4 5 and 6. Give me a cup and the chance to visit the arse end of Russia or a German industrial estate right now. Anything better than that would be a bonus.
whoareyaaa Posted 27 November 2017 Posted 27 November 2017 The pinnacle was winning the league so it's going to take a few years for us to start getting that nostalgia of going to Stoke on a cold Tuesday night again. I feel the players will have lost the same drive that got them there, the team was a tight nit group, now players want to find there moves (ala Mahrez) and it kills team spirit. We can all die happily knowing we destroyed the best the league in the world with a group of players that peaked.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 27 November 2017 Posted 27 November 2017 Still love match days and get the buzz of the atmosphere. On the pitch however I'm less bothered than I was, and football in general is interesting me a lot less. I used to watch MOTD and MOTD2 religiously, this season I've probably watched half a dozen episodes.
Ted Maul Posted 27 November 2017 Posted 27 November 2017 There's definitely a bit of a apathy surrounding everything, for me. We've spent years fighting tooth and nail for something- promotion, play-offs, titles, survival, European ties. Now, barring a disaster, we're going to be comfortably midtable and I'm struggling to really get into it. Judging by our home and away atmospheres this season, most are also feeling the same. I actually think it's going to take some bad times for everyone to snap out of it and see it for what it is again.

I'll be seriously fvcked off if we don't give the Cups a good go every season. We're still a squad capable of winning stuff, and I'd much rather we went down trying to win things than settled for being a Stoke or West Brom every year now. Nothing about being a bit part player in the top flight appeals to me. At least there'd be new grounds for me to visit if we were relegated in the next few years.
fuchsntf Posted 27 November 2017 Posted 27 November 2017 The topic, the question itself, beckons belief, questions the whys, but not the wise.... As an hardened weathered, winkling old fan, what where, which, how can one even put that 'caring' into a value or a limit.... A true fan is, the unquestioning, undying, though still holding ambition and unfathomable belief, and a fearless dream, that hangs and wafts on the calm acceptance of destiny... The younger generation seems to of lost that pleasant 'je ne sai quoi' a boring approach and aptitude with attitude,not to know dreams are not for the conclusion, but experiences gathered and to savour along the journey's mysterious ever giving path...

This sums it up- I'm bored of it already
Number 6 Posted 27 November 2017 Posted 27 November 2017 I still care but nothing will match the highs of that season. Atmosphere at games has been a proper buzzkill for me now though, both home and away. Going to the games just isn't as enjoyable as it once was for me. Getting fed up of PL bullshit too. Of course I want us to stay up but going down isn't the disaster it's made out to be in terms of what I enjoy about following this club. In fact, some of my favourite aways were in the league 1 season.

In fact, some of my favourite aways were in the league 1 season. Without a doubt. Obviously the PL title win surpasses anything i've ever experienced as a Leicester fan but that League One season is well up there, loved that season.
theessexfox Posted 27 November 2017 Posted 27 November 2017 Probably doesn't help that I'm now at uni and I'm very busy and I don't have a TV and I've only been to one game this season, but some of the passion for it and the tension of following us has definitely dissipated for me.
Mike Oxlong Posted 27 November 2017 Posted 27 November 2017 It’s a bit like you’ve had one night of torrid passion with Rachel Riley but you’re facing the rest of your life with Elizabeth from The Apprentice

My dad is the same has completely lost interest since we won the league, says nothing is topping that and he has followed them all of his life 65 now. The league win has defiantly had an impact
