I've decided to start following Leicester City and would like to be filled in on the current team, club history, chants, and anything else you all think I should know. Also, if someone could clear this ignorant Yank up about how Leicester is pronounced, that would be much appreciated.

Do you like curry? Because I could recommend somewhere excellent for a pre match meal and pint if you ever come over to see us?.......

Class isn’t it. If you listened to most of the media outlets in this country they still won’t let you believe it 

[Kopic]

One thing you must always remember, is that without Mahrez, Leicester is a rugby club.

Collective mental erasure. It couldn’t happen, shouldn’t happen, didn’t happen if we wish hard enough - but always the nagging truth, those bin dipping bastards. I love it.

That should just about give you some insight into what our club is about. If you enjoy the read feel free to join our wonderful group of supporters, if not then maybe Man City, United, or Chelsea could be more appealing, or if you prefer a steady eddie approach maybe Everton. 

 

There's never a dull moment around these parts, but be rest assured that no matter how well the team is performing you can guarantee that they'll always be at least one negative poster on this forum.

A lot of the towns have English namesakes - goes back to the days when we were a colony. For what it's worth, I'm  a life long Red Sox fan and can't stand John Henry.  Yes he ended their 86 year championship drought - and he deserves credit for that - but he's also destroyed the soul of the team and everything that made them fun to watch. They act like Man City overspending for any player they want - and in the process have brought some real jerks to town the past several years. He's taken the fun out of following the team.  As a result, Liverpool is my most despised EPL club...lol

I'll agree with you up to a certain point. There were certainly some terrible moves in recent history, (e.g. Hanley Ramírez and Pablo Sandoval) but this year's team has been arguably the most fun to watch since '04. He's definitely spent a lot, but almost all of the key players have been developed through the farm system (e.g. Killer B's, Holt, E-Rod) or acquired in trades for players developed through that system (e.g. Sale, Kimbrel, Porcello, etc.). The only players on the team right now who were signed as major-league free agents are Moreland, Martínez, and Price.

Probably not this year, but hopefully in the near future.
