Popular Post ajthefox 2,506 Posted 9 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 9 November 2020 (edited) I appreciate people giving us plaudits but I think this title talk after 8 games is daft personally, we're not even a quarter of the season through yet.

Ok, so we’re the fifth team mentioned as title contenders, almost like we’re an afterthought, but at least we’ve not been dismissed. I showed this to my wife (not that she cared). Tells me we are starting to be taken seriously and the "big 6" is becoming the "big 7". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was the same last year, I’m not going to say people don’t learn because I think you have to, as a football supporter, enjoy moments like this and just feel like you believe for a little bit, Leicester City are at the top of the prem (again). But there’s a hell of a lot of football to be played yet, we’ve got to negotiate a game against Liverpool next, arguably they threw our whole season off course last year depending on what you believe went on, and we’ve got to see if Brendan can maintain momentum throughout the course of a season - I think the last 6 in all comps has made us forget that West Ham and Villa were still this season. We’ve still got a dodgy performance in us, and we still didn’t manage to create much at home against a pretty poor Wolves side (1st half) yesterday either (was fantastic to grind the win out). Personally I’m going to enjoy the break with us at the top and enjoy the start to the season that we’ve had but we’ve done absolutely nothing yet and I’ll be reserving judgement on what this side can do until we’ve seen how we approach these next 5/6 fixtures. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When the big six are referred to they are correct, when talking about revenue the big six are miles above the 7th. Leicester have claims for being the 7th, as there is little between Us, West Ham, Everton, Newcastle and Wolves. Another prem championship, or even top 4 would probably cement us a top 7.

Popular Post TiffToff88 2,513 Posted 10 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 10 November 2020 Wasn't sure which thread would be best to post this in, but it finally happened... I was talking to someone at work (in Doncaster) about football, and mentioned that I support Leicester and I was genuinely accused of being a glory supporter. Got the whole "who did you support before they won the league" treatment. I had to explain that my first game was in 1995 and I've been a fan through all the ups and downs since then 😂 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It also happened to my daughter at JFK airport in New York during our title-winning season. What I'm most looking forward to is the day when those Liverpool and Man United 'supporters' with Leicestershire accents start calling us 'glory hunters'. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Stadt 12,908 Posted 10 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 10 November 2020 We’re 4th favourite to win the Europa League atm.

Corky 12,800 Posted 10 November 2020 Report Share Posted 10 November 2020 The glory hunter/ who did you support? tag doesn't really work for us. You'd have to have followed us from probably January onwards of the title win when it was starting to look serious and then stuck with us through a 12th and two 9th places finishes which is hardly stunning glory. We didn't really have the time to build up a whole new fanbase and we've not done enough since to keep them prevalent. You'll get a few more following us but I'd imagine the vast majority follow us due to location, family, tradition etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Koke 7,130 Posted 10 November 2020 Report Share Posted 10 November 2020 Neither of us are gonna win the league , and both Leicester and Spurs are capable of finishing above each other. Its a coin toss. But their logic and reasoning is odd. "If one of Leicester's key players get injured....." you mean Ndidi, Ricardo, Castagne, Soyuncu etc ? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
