Bad Press

[Bazly]

Danny Drinkwater has gone a screwed up again, this time headbutting a Aston Villa teammate on the training ground. That could prove useful training for the next time he goes to  nightclub but the press keep on referring to him as a former Leicester City player. Rather than current Chelsea player. They never refer to Kante as that former Leicester City player. The press can just fuk off, Pisses me off an its not even Monday.

Leicester is the only big club he has actually played for 

[Voll Blau]

He is more famous for playing for us than for Chelsea though. Plus, Kante's an angel so never gets into trouble.

Shut it down @Mark we've hit peak foxestalk. No point carrying on from here. 

[ClaphamFox]

I've also noticed that whenever Daniel Lambert or Joseph Merrick are mentioned, the media always falls over itself to remind everybody that they came from Leicester. No mention of the fact that Lambert also lived in Stamford or that Merrick lived in London. It's like they're trying to make out like everybody from Leicester is either grossly obese or deformed - which is not completely true. It makes my blood boil and I've not even had my second cup of tea this morning yet

If a factual sentence is all there is to be pissed off about then you are having a good week sir!!

There is a probably untrue rumour that Hitler in his younger days briefly lived on Merseyside with his brother.

 

I’m sure he wouldn’t want his reputation sullied by an association with the Scousers.

Who's really bothered about Drinkwater, the prat, nowadays. He did well for us but has gone downhill ever since, move on!!

I've heard that he worked in the Adelphi hotel in Liverpool for a spell. Beryl Bainbridge wrote a novel based on this - but it's probably rubbish. Interesting though.

It's sad to see on a basic human level how he's ended up though, regardless of whether you still identify sympathetically with him as an ex-Leicester player. One bad career choice and he ends up in a seemingly irreversible spiral of self-destruction. Of course it's his fault, but it doesn't make it any less disheartening each time a new story comes out. There but for the grace of God etc...

Not that I'm backing the OP, but his point was surely that Drinkwater is being associated with Leicester despite moving on years ago, and actually being a Chelsea player now. So all this bad behaviour has the clubs name next to it, when he hasn't pulled on a Leicester shirt in over three years.

Pretty much this. He played for us in our greatest ever season, and for those of us who struggle with mental health issues, it is both particularly pertinent and poignant.

In fairness we do have our fair share of bloaters and mental dullards 😁

Makes sense both like silly moustaches.

Are you referring to Leicester or FT?

[Fox92]

Why do some of our fans have a chip on their shoulder?

 

All season it's been "Sky aren't including us on their graphics".

No…. That is true…. Apparently he was an idle bar steward and was kicked out…. Kipped on his sofa

 

The historians would’ve been all over it like a rash if he’d stepped foot in Leicester though…. ‘Folk at the clock tower shaped the young Hitler’

Wonder how many Drinkwater threads we've had since he left us, about 324?

Yeah, but WOULD you have him back 😂😂😂 (theres a player in there somewhere behind the blah blah blah)

[foxinsocks]

This us sad.  I think drinky needs a vosch who can help him show the better side of himself...  he earns so much that surely it's in his and his clubs best interest to sort himself out. He needs to go to watford

I'd much rather have current Leicester City players read about ex-Leicester City player Danny Drinkwater, than ex-Leicester City player N'Golo Kante.

I guess the difference from their perspective is Danny Drinkwater is only known for his time at Leicester, Kante has won the Premier League and World Cup with Chelsea and France.

[shailen]

It's mad but had Drinkwater stayed with us he would have been in and around the first 11 but selling him has allowed us to recruit the likes of Maddison and Tielemans who are well above the levels Drinkwater got to with us. He did fantastically well for us, but he wasn't anywhere near as dynamic imo as the players we now have.
