Yes this!!!

[Heskey2011]

Wow thought Villa would be further up, less so now graelish has gone.

[Gamble92]

I'd rather play the game of working out the beef we've had with some of them at the bottom. Burton Albion? Did someone have a dodgy hot dog at a pre season away game? 

[Le Renard]

I suspect a lot of the votes are for "who do you hate/dislike the most", which is not necessarily a rival.  Although I hate Chelsea, too much for my own good, I still wouldn't classify them as a rival. We need a Forrest or Cov to start competing with us in the Prem, then a proper rivalry could be rekindled.

[sylofox]

Surely whoever your playing next is a rival. Whoever is just above or below yo in the league is a rival.

Whoever you face in a cup is a rival.

 

But local rivalry is more intense because of bragging rights.

 

At the present I dont see the trees the sheep or cov scum as a rival. Our local rivals are villa and wolves in the league.

 

Then the trees as we have them in the cup.

 

Personally I hate whoever we play next oh and spuds.

Does feel like the Derby thing has now firmly become the third place for us.

It's all to do with regularity of games isn't it?

 

I mean trying to think back of the top of my head a few years back we out of the 3 choices (Forest, Derby, Cov) we probably played Derby the most? I seem to remember years of not playing Forest, then all of a sudden Forest had a rise, we played them more, Derby have been in demise and we've not played them for years, equally it wasn't all that long I was calling Coventry 'irrelevant' because they were (to us), now their rise and our demise has seen us playing them with more regularity (for me) it seems we've got a real rivalry back with them, so much so i'm shitting myself and running scared about the potential prospect of playing them at Wembley, which is a reality check and a sad indictment of how far we've fallen.

or how far they've risen if it's a Wembley Cup Final

Honestly cannot stand Coventry. Used to be forest but at least they are a big club and are well supported. Coventry are just vile in every way. ****ing rats

Same for Derby as well tbf, most their fans would put Leeds ahead of us

Probably Forest at a push but these things seem nowhere near as heated or important as they used to be. 

[Guest glasgowfox]

Changes every week depending on which team we are playing....

Fella at work last week tried the ol' 'we only care about forest' routine. 

 

Agonising. I'm afraid I rallied the office (non Leicester fans, generally under 30) in a fit if organised bullying as they queued up, corralled by me, to agree that Derby were, nationally, a complete non entity. 

 

His protestatuons that they had a decent six year spell in the PL in the 90s and early 2000s didn't seem to impress them. 

 

 

[Paninistickers]

I kinda cheered Cov tho yesterday. How much if a rival can they be that I was pleased they got a deserved win? 

 

If it was forest, the more agonising, the more undeserved, the more scandalous a defeat the better. I will, I plead, I beg that only misery (and ideally dissolvement) is heaped on that filth

We have a odd group of fans.

 

Bit like the Forest fans who see Liverpool as a rival.

......purely based on our title win.

If it was Man City or Liverpool challenging us back then, the 46 would've voted for them !

How dare another team ruin it.

Bizarre.

[Daggers]

Two years and no one has added “to be” to the title.
