Who do you consider our rivals?

I have a (fully irrational) dislike of Harry Kane, and of Mourinho, Lloris, and a whole host of other characters from that club. I find they have a victim mentality bordering on Liverpool’s, a delusion of size and importance that they have neither earned, nor delivered on, and a consequent entitlement and arrogance that makes me look forward to their failure.***
 

Given the choice of any team to guarantee we’d take 6 points from, it would be them. So, in the absence of credible Premier League alternatives, they’re my PL ‘rival’. Don’t think it’s that much more bizarre than anyone except Forest, Derby and Cov, none of whom are good enough to be rivals right now…

***    Isnt this, exactly what some unfortunately are becoming on FT..

We are still a Top 4.  " bunch of nobodies". and Yes IMO havent yet earnt that position or right to question the Top 6 consistent achievements.

Very violent away trip there in the early 90's.

I do not see how anybody can justify any of the others as a ‘rivalry’ but I think that who people see as our main rivals is very dependant on where you live. For me, it’s Forest as I grew up in Nottingham and obviously knew more people who supported them, subsequently giving me a greater hatred.

 

Likewise, if people live in Derby then they’ll most likely see them as rivals. Leicester is a weird one as I’d imagine that the Loughborough / Syston lot see Forest as our main rivals? Whereas, the Market Bosworth may see Coventry as our derby. 
 

I think because we don’t have any natural rivals it is very dependant on where you’re located. It’s Forest for me without a doubt but that’s primarily because I hardly know any Derby / Coventry fans.

Live near Lutterworth, always been Cov

[Foxdiamond]

I tend to think of our next opponents as who to be concerned with rather that local rivals. Other factor is where we are in league and what results mean for our standing  I live in area with lots of Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and other London clubs plus the usual Man U and Liverpool lot.

I live in Broughton Astley and I’ve never met nor seen a Cov fan anywhere in South Leicestershire

[Sampson]

The Pompey thing was due to lots of crowd troubles and some Leicester fans getting beaten up in the play-off semi-finals against them in the Brian Little era. A lot of Leicester fans really didn't like them for a few years after in the early 90s. It's a long time ago now though, I doubt many still bare a grudge.

[AKCJ]

Forest, Derby and Coventry.

 

To a small extent Aston Villa.

 

The rest are absolutely not our rivals though. Who the **** is voting for Spurs?

[Paninistickers]

Jeez, we've done this debate soooo many times. 

 

It's forest. Unless you are from a Hinckley or Ashby or, to a lesser extent, Coalville.

 

Nottingham is the default 'city' rival for the city of Leicester. Close thread, lol. 

 

 

[420Hashish]

Our own injuries

[shilton_fox]

Hate cov being from the Hinckley area and the fact cov is such a dump. Strong dislike for forest and villa 

[Guest David Oldfields Gate]

Where does wolves come from other than Mark McGhee?

 

I hated Swindon for about 25 years. 

[Gamble92]

Whoever voted for Portsmouth needs putting in the bin

[Metal Lover]

Athletico Madrid, love the Ryanair derby!

[majaco]

Burnley next

Walsh vs Bull, maybe?

[Tim'llFixIt]

I'm going to say it ... We don't really have one!

 

On paper it should be Northampton or Coventry I'd say but Cov hang onto Brum rivalries and don't care for us and the Cobblers, well they are absolutely dog let's be frank.

 

Friends with a few Forest fans and they just don't see us as rivals (many were complementary when we won the league tbh) their rivalry is Derby.

 

I feel like we are that mental kid in school who like to pick fights with random hard kids even though the we have never crossed words with them.

 

Let's embrace the fact that nobody hates us and make everyone who walks into the King power out rivals.

 

P.S - Fvck Villa

I take it you didn't read the thread. 

[Leicesterpool]

how about Hinckley AFC while we at it

For me a riviarly can only happen if both teams hate each other, otherwise it just likes look your team just has constant chip on their shoulder.

[Wymsey]

Alongside Coventry, would actually say Stoke.

They took us down, and there's been a few crowd incidents between the two over the last few meetings.

[Sly]

Derby - 30 miles

Nottingham - 28 miles

Coventry - 26 miles

Peterborough - 41 miles

Burton - 37 miles

Northampton - 38 miles

 

We don’t really have anyone close by to have a local Derby. The next highest ranked team in Leicestershire is Coalville I believe and they’re down at level 8? 
 

Based on your location in the county, will be based on who else you come into contact with.
