Why do we moan about this club 🤣?

[southfox66]

It struck me today watching all the various videos about us winning the championship, what an amazing club Leicester is and lucky I am to support Leicester and wouldn't follow any other team.

 

Im just as guilty moaning about the manager the owner etc etc but they are all committed to the club and we are so lucky to have them. Having followed the club for over 50 years, the King Power years have been beyond my wildest dreams, Leicester winning the title and FA cup was stuff I only dreamt of as kid.

 

Not many fans will get to experience what we have at Leicester, so makes me wonder why we still moan so much 🤣

Every football fan is the same, if you didn’t moan you’d get bored of it being good all the time. One things for sure, it’s such a rollercoaster 

[CrazyKopCorner]

It's a good point and there was the sheer joy of following us last night. 

 

I appreciate it was a special night but that joy should really be a bigger part of our atmosphere. 

 

I hold my hands up that I'm a moaning git but last night I had a couple of goes at the linesman - he was atrocious on the left hand side second half not calling the ball out - but I managed to restrain myself  to giving him some gip only. 

 

Although when we sang Enzo give us a wave and he clapped us my lad shouted out that's not what we asked you fuching twit which I thought was harsh although funny.

Theres an expectation to be entertained ,especially when people pay money to do so. Its a huge source of joy for a lot of people and their attachment to a club is unbreakable so when they dont get the fulfilment from that attachment ( relationship?) then they are unhappy.

 

 

 

 

Or it could just be that we are all Divs.

Perhaps people take success for granted after 10 wonderful years. Whether you like it or not, as a club, it is unlikely that kind of success can be sustained over a longer period unless we are backed by an oil rich state.

I'm with you though, I've been through the awful times and I never thought that 10 years ago we would have achieved so much over the next 10 years. Hopefully, the next few years we have more stability and begin to develop again into a top half Premier League side.

It's all relative.

 

Also don't forget about the 200 million in loses and the digital ticketing points just because Enzo and the players have done well this season for example.

[whetstonefox]

Would we accept a 10 year run of being like a Crystal Palace? not doing a lot but surviving year on year but never really improving. Be curious how Palace fans see it. 

[Saxondale]

About 85% of Foxestalk was - about ten days ago - declaring things like the following:

 

* Enzo is a fraud and he need to F off 

* The squad is the most hateable LCFC squad of all time

* The owners are clueless and not interested in the club

* The team is rubbish and the best we can hope for is a bit of luck in the play offs 

 

Football fans, eh?

[Tuna]

It's just the way any form of social media is these days, instant knee jerk reaction and click bait!

[Guest RYM]

Amongst all the euphoria it’s easy to forget that the club has been very badly run behind the scenes for years, those responsible are still there and the way fans are treated isn’t the best.

I'd quite like a few seasons of being comfortably mid table in the Premiership. I'm not sure all this excitement is good for my heart.

[fox_up_north]

We moan because the club got relegated from a stable position, is possibly facing serious financial sanctions, charges fans stupid costs that other clubs don't and has rested on its laurels.

 

Last night was absolutely fantastic but it's important to remember this is a commercial enterprise and we are customers.

[rugbyblue]

We really shouldnt.  I've been following city since 1991 and there have been ups and downs....but in truth, most seasons there has been something to play for, either challenging for honours or a relegation battle.  But it's not been boring.  Imagine being a fan of the likes of Bristol city or Preston.  Mid table obscurity year after year after year.  There are numerous vids on YouTube of our end last night taken by Preston fans in awe.  They are wishing they could experience being part of something like that.  Don't take it for granted Leicester fans.  Enjoy it.....thru the good times and the bad and all that......come on you blue boys !!!!!

[Hammo]

Because it’s all part of the fabric of football fandom. We all want what’s best for the club because it plays such an important role in our lives… but inevitably we see things from different viewpoints. That’s the fun of having forums like this.

 

Also, why do some people equate criticism - even constructive criticism - with ‘moaning’? Or even worse with ‘entitlement’ or ‘hate’?

 

The stock in trade of some posters on here - one in particular - is to routinely and condescendingly have a go at others who dare to criticise - be it the team, the manager, certain players etc. - as if to criticise makes their support somehow unworthy or inferior.

 

Praise without the counterbalance of criticism (or a good moan, if you like) should be reserved for the official club website.

 

 

[SemperEadem]

Because at times it does do some crappy stuff.

[Lad1966]

Because we love the club too much😀

Nah, soddit.

 

Championeeeeees, championeeeeees, ole, ole, ole!

[STUHILL]

It's not unique to us, if you listen to other fans up and down the country about their Owners, Managers and Players etc, they all moan and are incredibly fickle too. 

It is just the way it is, and always has been, and always will be. 

We are on an absolute high now, but I can guarantee that after a few losses in a row in the Premier League, the attacks on him and the players will be back and as over the top as ever. The amount of times we have had fans calling us bottlers over the last 10 years is laughable. Look at how many times we haven't bottled it!

You just hope that those who go too hard and too fast (very quiet on here today...) tone it down and accept that we will struggle at times but toxicity won't help.

That's my point we are so blessed at Leicester to have had the experiences we have in the modern era ,even spurs haven't had the success we have in that period 🤣

No I would rather be "badly run" and win the Premier league, FA cup, Championship, reach the Quarter finals of the Champions league and play in the Europa league.

 

What could we achieve if we weren't "badly run"

I think after our last decade it would drive our fans mental.

 

Palace's performances in the cups are really poor given their relatively solid base.

iv never moaned about results in 50 years of going , why do it as its a day out it ain't forced on us and both teams want to win or draw at worst , the last few years have been unreal and its been great to look at people i went school with or worked with  who took the p outa any on us who followed city and are now down the new( well 22 year old ground ) with replica shirts etc on,  giving it the bigun clueless no marx. we all hate to see lazy or lethargic performances now that is a cause for avin a moan or shout beside that i don't get it. the way the club are at mo is being chatted about on here and that's good to swap stories opinions also be corrected by each other , its hard when things come to an end like season after title but we are humble people in leicester with an underrated sense of humour , we have the passion of the geordies just not as loud , leicester fans are funny but not overbearing and loads know and love their football and our club so much that we all want to know why the moaning , its maybe the new age bandwagon types who use to be armchair big 6 fans who now come to the ground but slowly thel go away when it dawns on em there are no guarantees of great games n trophies you have to stay with it . and stop fkn moaning.   

[Daggers]

Why are we no longer allowed to discuss the owner of the club?

 

If people don’t want to dwell on that stuff then, and here’s some trippy shit, don’t open the thread and read what people post. This is such Karen behaviour - barking at the airport you moved in next door to because you don’t like planes. Feeble twattery. 

[the draper]

Plenty to moan about
