How badly does Leicester City affect you?

It really grates me that Forest are above us, should not be a conceivable thought and yes it’s reality. 

Totally get that.  Going down would be shite.  But going down and those fvckers staying up would really get to me.

 

Generally I am furious during the games at the moment.  Literally shouting, jumping around furiously and using every expletive.  Angriest man in Britain.  

 

Usually takes me an hour or so to calm down.  However, I try not to let that annoyance linger on.  It's not fair on my wife and is not good for my mental health.

 

We've been in much darker places as a club before and whatever happens this season the spirit of the fans and club won't ever die.  That's what I tell myself when I'm absolutely bloody seething with it all.

I watched every minute of every game during lockdown. Couldn’t cross my mind to miss even part of a game. Looking back it seems ridiculous but at the time it certainly helped me no end 

Me too. Consumed almost every waking minute.

Not much anymore, used to be really pissed off to the point of not speaking.

 

Playing in such an inconducive, nonsense way is mere frustration but likewise playing in such a style gives me a kinda attitude 'meh, can't bothered, why are you surprised we're in the situation we are', they say it's 'sustainable' but i'm afraid I can't attach any emotion or passion to it all, I can't get behind it, it's just nonsense. 

 

But that's where we are in the game all over, the game's gone.

 

The insistence off a possession based game plus the sanitised 'matchday experience' has bored and killed it for me, makes it chore, effort to be excited and lacking appetite for it all.

 

Even during years of midtable obscurity in the Championship, I could deal with it somewhat, something to get behind, being bored out my mind watch us suffocate the ball camped on our 18 yard box, nah thanks.

 

Never felt so disillusioned and detached with 'my' club.

I've supported (more a case of followed these days) the club since I was 8, I'm 74 now and feel worse about the current situation than I can recall feeling before. Probably due to our unprecedented success in recent years. I feel depressed every day due to Rodgers manipulation of the situation to

a) get a stonking great  severance payout.

b) protect his reputation at the expense of The Players, The Board and now The Fans.

Before this season I would be down for a couple of days if we lost, and then look forward to the next fixture...now I absolutely dread the next fixture (I just can't see us winning it) as our team is undergoing systematic sabotage by an inadequate manager even though we have a quality top 10 squad to call on.

[bovril]

Not that much. Annoys me during the game but afterwards I don't care that much. There are way bigger things going on in the World.

 

Was chatting to a West Ham fan in the pub after the Chelsea away game and he said "whatever happens you've lived the dream" which is true. There is a sense of bitterness we didn't build on it more but still, we'll always have Bocelli...

[Gamble92]

Affects me way too much. I feel like I've always been the only Leicester fan in Nottingham and flying this flag has carried its burdens at times. 

 

But I wouldn't change it for the world. Through the shit and the good. No ones bigger than the club and this period is every bit as bad as the good times have been good no mistake. It feels like it can't get much worse right now but anyone who's been there through the true lows know we always bounce back. 

 

Brendan has done an awful lot to undo the great work he has done in the past. I'm as angry at him as anyone but let's keep our heads and keep behind the team for 90 minutes. Vent that frustration after if things don't go to plan. Like I said he isn't bigger than the club but don't give him the chance to build his PR machine any further. 

[Guest kristianity77]

Doesn't bother me anymore really.  We've had our moment in the sun and that'll never be taken away.  An amazing 3 or 4 seasons that will live forever.

 

As others have alluded to, I feel a bit detached from Leicester at the minute.  It's been poor for 18 months and getting worse yet no one is doing anything about it.  Its almost like we've as a group, got to accept that we have to go back to being the Leicester of old, bouncing around leagues etc.

I'm 50 and restrict my dissapointments to matches, and the 30 minutes after, I'm frustrated about the current situation, who isn't! but find the humour and comments on here help, especially after a match!

For me and many others, seeing the tigers do well only makes things worse as rugby always presents itself as superior in class terms and I can’t abide that. Football is the peoples sport and not the preserve of independent schools.

 

I know it’s my own city but I’d honestly prefer the tigers still to be struggling.

[gurru991]

I still love Football in general but I'm struggling to watch City play this season. I turned the Brighton game off  went & worked in the garden !!

I've been following City for 62 years & lived through the ups & downs but Rodgers has stolen the jam from my donut. 

 

[Apollo]

It doesn’t - might get slightly annoyed during the game, but have moved on 5 minutes after the match.

 

it’s a bit alien to me how seriously people take football in general - I enjoy it when we’re doing well, shrug it off when we’re not 

[Leeds Fox]

The most annoying thing for me is that we’ve thrown everything we had away. 
 

Leeds seemingly on the up and everyone I know is a Leeds fan… that makes it even more frustrating.

[SheppyFox]

Past caring, haven’t cared much since we won the league to be honest, not sure why either. I think it’s more that football is gash now(rather than just LCFC specific), VAR hasn’t helped either.

Well stand up tall brother. We all come across bumps in the road but there is no shame in talking about them. We’re all family on here.

Even your username has Leeds in it

[HybridFox]

Watching Leicester is the only time I will guarantee to switch off from anything else in the world. For 90 mins, it's the game only.

 

It's an escape from a busy week. A scheduled break. It's these little lifts that keep you going.

 

So yes when we serve up the sh** we do, it does p*** me off no ends because we have to wait a whole week to rectify it and nowadays we still don't..

Hiya mate. Yeah, struggling a bit lately with life in general and I tend to go a bit quiet/off the radar when I'm in a bad place. Hope you're O.K bud 

[Ste]

I think I've become more apathetic toward football in general over the past few years with the sanitisation of the game and how it's become a "product" , recently however that malaise has affected my love of city as well.

 

I'm still upset when we lose or don't perform but it's become such a common affair that I kind of don't care anymore either. It certainly doesn't ruin my day like it once used to and in a way I'm sad about that 

[TeamRocket]

Since losing my dad I think lcfc losing, or even winning effects me alot, cos I dunno guess it helps me not feel so depressed when we win, it give me that little moment of joy knowing that even though he's not here anymore just knowing what he would have said give me that little smile and hope that am going to be okay. He would  say "Your Leicester won today son" over the phone cos I lived so far from him.. but guess it can't rain everyday and the clouds will pass some day :'l

[Arkie Bennett]

Me mam used to tell me how me dad would come home after the match and if we'd lost he wouldn't want anything to eat. This would have been in the 1960s. Single defeats have never affected me that much (I love me food too much) but a run like the one we're in doesn't exactly fill me with joy. These days my reaction to defeats is tempered by the league and FA Cup wins. Me dad never saw us win anything. I've seen it all (to borrow from Man U's song) and it makes me immensely proud to have been there for our greatest ever moments. 

[Ian Nacho]

I’ll be honest, us being awful is better for my mental health than us being bang average. Does me good to get really wound up
