Hmm maybe but our fanbase is largely small time. Look at the way they sing their anthem, when you’re smiling comes on and people are more arsed about looking at their phones. They unfortunately have a big club mentality as a fanbase and ours is way off it. 

Defo, they believe they are a big club, there history etc etc enables them.  We come across as tin pot, poor man's mid table team.  We never really marketed ourselves, and never really taken our advantage of winning the league.  How sad.

It seems so odd, doesn't it? Foxes Never Quit as our motto, 5000-1 win, a multicultural city that gets somewhat looked down on compared to other Midlands neighbours...

 

It would have been so easy to position ourselves as the perennial underdogs, at a minimum, who always seek to punch above our weight. That doesn't mean we'd need to think of ourselves as ever lesser, just always a club seeking a way to keep fighting against the elite.

 

Honestly, the marketing is appalling. What even was "Fearless" after all anyway, when our motto was right there?

Absolutely spot on. 

 

It was a marketing gift. Renegade, anti establishment, underdog, everyman,  team. So much to be made from those associations

 

But nope, ignore all that - just stick gold on the kit and express peaceful blessings to our darling benevolent, all knowing, kindly, gracious leader.

The difference is, they have Paul McCartney, we have a pub singer whose version of WYS is basically drunken karaoke.

 

Check out the Dean Martin and Louis Armstrong versions (among others) and you'll see what I mean.

 

Don't care if Jersey Budd is "OnE oF oUr Own". So is Jon Rudkin, and I wouldn't want to hear him singing over the tannoy either.

33 years and you’ve won **** all. Couldn’t even win League One. 

They only got promoted from that because Ken Bates got Leeds a points deduction for financial shenanigans.

 

Without Rodgers messing up on our last two visits there, they'd still be languishing in the obscurity they deserve.

The Armstrong one would sound ridiculous if it was sung in the ground.

Jammiest club going. You just know they’ll get into the CL in the new 5th place too.

You have to say, they sing their anthem so well.

I've always begrudgingly rated their atmosphere at home. Even back in the Championship. It's set up perfectly for them given the away end and the fact they completely surround you.

They've basically operated on blind luck for about three years.

They're only in the Premier League as they broke the financial rules. Seems that it's the only way for newly promoted clubs to survive.

 

And before a comparison is made to us, the independant commission reported that no rules were broken in our case.

They’ll have people standing in all four stands tomorrow something you’d never get at our place

If we can even shithouse a draw, it kills their UCL qualification dreams dead. They'd be in seventh place with Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa all in form above them. It's a shame they almost certainly can't be knocked out of European qualification altogether, but watching their fans getting absolutely pummelled by police in Belgrade before getting dumped out of the Conference League by Partizan would be lovely.

There should be no motivation required for this game to f*** their season up but our players need spoonfeeding 

Our brittle little players don’t give a **** I’m afraid - they’ve proved it time after time
