The ONLY people I've ever heard use the weird phrase 'little old Leicester' are Leicester fans. We're medium sized and as old as all the other clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah come on, the lad Figueiredo led the mighty Forest to 7th in the championship. Legend has it, without him, it would’ve been 6-1 to stoke on the final day - which would’ve just been embarrassing for them. Thank god it wasn’t anything like that.

Well I saw a similar performance scoring system that ranked Ricardo as the 2nd best player in the whole league last season behind De Bruyne. You can twist those stats to suit though, take certain elements out to push a players score down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the idea of a “traditional” top 6 is a media construct that has only been around for half a decade. Especially when 2 of the 6 are financially boosted clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Koke Posted 7 August 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 7 August 2020 I wouldn't want Wolves winning jt either. I hope Sevilla beat them. Nothing against Wolves as a club, I'm totally indifferent towards them, but i can't have them surpassing us as a club and we end up playing catch up to them. I feel the same about Everton. I was also happy Newcastle wasn't taken over as it would be a threat to our top 4 aspirations. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach0000 Posted 7 August 2020 Share Posted 7 August 2020 Why would any Leicester fan want wolves in the champions league? It gives them a financial advantage, not to mention the prestige. Also the way wolves are run with the super agent just seems a bit shady. Would love them to get relegated and replaced with a club trying to do things in the right way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torten Posted 7 August 2020 Share Posted 7 August 2020 I think what OP was referring to was the way in which they were dismissed. Of course we don’t WANT Wolves to win it as it helps a rival. But the reasons they don’t want Wolves to win it are garbage, the same kind of vitriol levelled at us for having the audacity to qualify for the CL by winning the bloody league. I hope Wolves don’t win it, but if they do, they deserve a chance to perform at the highest level, like we did. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc81 Posted 7 August 2020 Share Posted 7 August 2020 I would love wolves to win it and be in the champions League. The more clubs like wolves, ourselves etc can break the media narrative the more likely we are to be able to break the status quo longer term. It wasn't long ago that good young players only went to the 'big' clubs (mostly to sit in the reserves), now they all want to play at 'medium' sized premier League clubs or go abroad to establish themselves first. The next step if for teams like ourselves, wolves etc to qualify for the bigger competitions, generating increasing revenues and start to keep hold of the talent we are developing- further breaking the status quo. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 7 August 2020 Share Posted 7 August 2020 1 hour ago, Lionator said: Not strictly Leicester but this is the sort of nonsense ourselves and Wolves are up against. The quotes in the post are taken out of context from what he actually says though. He says specifically he doesn't want them to win as a Chelsea fan as it gives them more of a platform to catch Chelsea which is fair enough. I wouldn't want to see the likes of Newcastle, Palace or Everton given a platform which gives them a chance to catch up with Leicester either right now. He's not saying he doesn't want Wolves to win because they don't deserve it or aren't good enough tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
