Paninistickers Posted 13 January 2022 Posted 13 January 2022 I heard second hand that Shilts had similar problems in the forest corporate a few years ago when asked directly during a q&a ahead of a match v us Apprantly stumbled and bumbled - forest were paying him for the gig after all - and was forced to admit he was a City but 'couldn't lose' on this particular day

Happy for someone to correct me but he always appeared to lean towards Forest.

Ex-players always want to be associated with the currently successful clubs they once played for (Robbie Savage is now introduced as ex-Leicester). Shilts is a Leicester lad so you'd expect him to have the connection but, as you say, he wasn't very vocal before.

Alan Smith was the worst as a pundit he never gave any indication re his Leicester connection it was always Arsenal and was very noticeable when we won the league. 1

Yeah I have no doubt they lean towards their most successful club, it makes sense really, and he won basically everything at Forest. I have no doubt he supports us etc but until recently I never heard it from him.

With the exception of on FIFA, where I am sick of him talking about his time at Leicester and how far the club has come EVERY SINGLE LEICESTER GAME 4

Whoever is paying him.dollar for an after dinner or corporate meet and greet But, he's 100% a city fan in his own weird way. i suspect he prefers to hedge his bets and not alienate any potential black tie booking by aligning himself to close to anything
StanSP Posted 19 January 2022 Posted 19 January 2022 Discussing what's the better achievement on Talksport. Derby if they were to survive or us winning the league. Thankfully Darren Bent speaks a lot of sense and gave the correct answer...
Popular Post ARTY_FOX Posted 19 January 2022 Popular Post Posted 19 January 2022 Why would you even debate that. 7
FuriousFox46 Posted 19 January 2022 Posted 19 January 2022 It’s flattering really. Clearly more pundits expect Leicester to perform at the level of Premier League champions than expected Derby to be a mid-table Championship side. We are MASSIVE.

whetstonefox Posted 19 January 2022 Posted 19 January 2022 (edited) Should take it as a compliment, every time something majorly unexpected or miraculous happens in sport you will forever hear the words ‘how does it compare to Leicester City winning the premier league’ Edited 19 January 2022 by whetstonefox 1

I don’t get the hype Someone mentioned this same topic the other day. I looked at last season and you could've given a 21 point deduction to the team in 10th and they still would have survived. So what they're essentially saying is that finishing in the top 10 of the championship is equivalent to our title win. It's not even close to our great escape season, let alone one of the greatest achievements in football ever. Granted there's a different psychology to starting with a 21 point deficit and they're restricted financially, but it doesn't make it into some miraculous achievement that's worthy of comparison like that 1

Its as if it was the likes of Halifax Town that won rather than a top 20 club in the all-time Premier League table. 2
