Footballwipe Posted 13 May 2021 Share Posted 13 May 2021 I assume alongside our three games on a Wednesday we'll likely be selected to be shown in this slot at some point. 7:45pm Saturday it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All points past 40 are a bonus round. Sometimes, like this season and the previous, we get into the double-secret bonus round and have something additional to play for -- European football! It may be "Little old Leicester" mentality, but I remember watching all those dreary 2014-15 matches, August through March, hoping and praying for some way to get to 40 points. Then we got there! Quite honestly I wasn't paying close attention during the most recent Tier 2/3 years. I would check the table occasionally, but I wasn't seeking out the matches on dodgy websites or even looking up highlights. I didn't even know a forum existed. But now we are in double-secret bonus territory, and I will support the team to the best of my ability, from 4600 miles away. I have the exact same mentality towards it mate. I was going home and away when we were in league one and the championship. The thought that in a few years we would be competing consistently at the top of the prem (having won the bastard!) was frankly an absurd fantasy in those days. Now here we are, watching some of the best players that have ever worn the shirt play some of the best football the club has seen. I can’t justify getting too down or upset about any results. This whole ride is bloody amazing however this season ends. I know some people will shout “small club mentality” and all that, but to be honest, if you’re not absolutely buzzing at the moment you might as well pack the whole thing in. You are doomed to eternal misery if you can’t see how ****ing amazing life as a Leicester fan is at the moment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid has caused incredible repercussions throughout the world - let alone the world of football. Don't you think that these guys, particularly those whose families are on 'third-world' countries, have had their focus elsewhere than football? Empty stadia, travel and socialising restrictions and the constant stream of worrying and distracting news has been bound to have affected the players, coaches and everyone else having to complete a football season while a unpredictable and deadly disease is ripping its way through the globe. I think we've become so attuned to pushing it out of our thoughts that we've forgotten the constant, baleful threat clinging to our psyches - individual and collective. Football represents, for many of us, an escape from life's less pleasant realities - yet here's Covid sticking its nose right into our cloud castles. I think City have done uniquely well in this plague time - emerging as a superior club, both in performance and utilisation of our limited resources. The media have made the usual hoo-hah about the League champions - but never have I felt a title was so unfairly won - and that takes some stating given the bias allowed by the governing bodies to the twelve betrayers of European football. On merit we would have won the Premier. Manchester City - meh. Absolutely, I wasn't intending to be too critical as it is hardly surprising given everything going on. More a point that with everything going on every team has had these kind of performances and I wish clubs would be given a bit more slack. I am amaze we have even had a season to enjoy at all let alone one in which we have done so well! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPeakFox Posted 13 May 2021 Share Posted 13 May 2021 I can't find the MOTD thread, but I'm still wondering if I saw right last night. I watched back on iPlayer, they showed our game, talked about Manchester City, and unless they reviewed our game much later in the programme, never mentioned it. I'm hoping I'm wrong, as nobody else has commented on it. I'm not about to get all offended by it, but it seems extraordinary to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a very brief top 4 chat after the Chelsea game, but nothing about our match. It might just be because it was played the day before, but I'd still have expected some sort of discussion.

Then I looked for it on iPlayer thinking they'd had to cut it out but not there either. You can guarantee if Man U had won with a 'weakened' team that would have gone on about it.

I know it's only natural that they would talk about Man City winning, and they probably didn't want too long without some highlights, so went right into the Chelsea match. I thought they'd discuss both games after that, but they literally didn't discuss the Leicester game at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, journalists, whether print or TV, have to appeal to the largest number of people.
