FilboFox Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Am somewhat pissed... don't really know what I'm writing but I'll give it a go... hopefully I'll be able to keep the spellings and letter ordering in a decent way. Well basically I just want to start this thread as a place where people can come and pour their hearts out over what has happened today and what our future holds in store... I know that all of us have opinions and this would seem like the perfect place to come and say what we all feel. Today, I got up with hope in my heart... optimistic as ever, I just felt that we would stay up. I really did. I had planned to get up, have a shower and get down to a pub to watch the game however, when it came to it, I just didn't have the nerve to do it as I didn't want to face those non-Leicester fans who would just take the piss out of us... and so I stayed in my flat listening to Barber on the radio and every kick made my stomach churn. As the game continued, I started to get more and more worried, then my friend, who is a Coventry fan, came on to MSN... he was just as worried as me as they too were in the dogfight although I kept telling him they were safe. He was ahead of my commentary so he kept telling me what was happening in the other matches and when Sheffield United took the lead, I was over the moon, I felt as though we were safe and nothing would stop us now... then, as usual, things went sour. They equalised and then took the lead... at that point, I was miserable but not as bad as I am now... then Sheffield United equalised and that was AMAZING! I was literally dancing around my flat with my City scarf and again, over the moon... I was happy for all of 4 minutes... the last time I was happy as a Leicester fan this season. The closer to the final whistle we got, the more anxious that I became... I still was hoping and praying, yes I got down on my knees and prayed by my bed, for a goal to come from somewhere that would lift us out of the relegation zone and save our season... all in vain. I have to admit that I never thought that I would cry over football as it never seemed that important but this was totally uncontrolled... once the final whistle went and I realised that there was nothing that could be done that would save us, the tears just fell from my eyes like water off a waterfall... hours... even now, the occasional burst comes out as I think about the awful days events. I've since been drinking, drinking and... erm... drinking! Trying to get rid of the memories that will haunt me for years to come... Leicester in League One for the first time in their 125 year history and quite possibly the fact that our manager, chairman and many players will be jumping ship very soon. Its not good at all... I really am worried for the future of the club... I really am... things are getting worse and I can see them getting even more worse because of this relegation. I would say, we need to stick together and get behind the team, but at the moment, I have absolutely no passion or drive to support them at all... I'm so utterly depressed that I really can't face even thinking about Leicester City F.C. but then again, I can't stop thinking about them... Why oh WHY couldn't we have just scored one goal... just one measly goal...
Corky Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I am so gutted about today, I was sort-of expecting it beforehand, but nothing can really prepare you for the reality of the situation. It is a horrible feeling. It still hasn't quite sunk in yet. I saw my 11-year-old brother crying and it nearly got me going as well. I hope we have a bright future ahead of us, this will either go one or two ways. We could recover and start again, a better club for it, but on the other hand, we could be stuck here for years and never really recover fully from it. I will get over the relegation, it may take a while, but come August, my optimism and hope will return with avengance.

Tore me to pieces inside it did.
Finchy Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Why oh WHY couldn't we have just scored one goal... just one measly goal... That's what's making me even more pissed off, one goal just one! and Cov would have gone down and it would have been the dream day.
Asha Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Agreed that it could go either way. We could bounce back straight away and be competing in the championship again the year after next. Or we could follow Bradford, Grimsby, Rotherham etc and drop down the football league year after year. I really hope and believe it's the first one. We'll know really come August/September time.
FilboFox Posted 4 May 2008 Author Posted 4 May 2008 have another beer.... And what exactly does that mean!?! You trying to say that just because I'm still upset that the club I've supported all my life has been relegated, that that is a bad thing and that I should be over it by now!?! Will have another glass or 5 of wine though... not beer... had enough of beer now...
Corky Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 On the way back we got a phone call from my 9 year old cousin. Tore me to pieces inside it did. That's what gets to me the most, seeing young kids upset. They probably don't fully understand what has happened, but they hear the word "relegation" and think bad things, and start crying over it. I felt so helpless trying to console him. I saw one lad on TV in the crowd today, bawling his eyes out, it got me, it really did
syston_fox Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I just feel numb now!! Ive shut myself away in my room since getting back from stoke and have totally ignored my parents and had a right go at one of my mates who thought it would be funny to send me a text saying "Your down your down your down - im never gonna get tired of saying that!" even though they support QPR yet cant name a single player from the team!!
samingram_uk Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I've surrported city for such a little time, 13 years to be exact, but some people have been through these times before, but today just hurt me like hell, i can't get over it. To not say we're in the Club of 9 any more will really hurt me. Before i used to say it to all the glory lot ( Man U, Chelsea fans. ) we're just as big as you, but now what I am truely hurt.

Trav Le Bleu Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Not ashamed to admit I have cried at City games before, but I didn't cry today. I wasn't actually there, was watching it at home with family and friends - maybe with a larger crowd and a wave of empathy the tears would have rolled, but somehow I don't think so. This hasn't hurt as much as I thought it would. I think it's because I've been half resigned to this fate for weeks and that it was merely hope, rather than belief, that was keeping going through it all. Now it is over and we can move on, albeit not as we would have liked, but in some ways the burden is lifted. Don't get me wrong, I am gutted, but I've been gutted for weeks and I couldn't see a way out. Now I know what we have to do - clear the board and get promoted next season, by hook or crook!
CKB Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I'm really gutted, and it hasn't properly hit home yet. Kinda my feeling, it's slowly hitting home but i reckon in the morning i'll be abit of a pain to be around
Tevez Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Not sunk in yet, will be hard seeing that fixture list for next season.
Ultra Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 It wasn't really today's result that did for us. The damage was done in recent home games.
Shipman Out Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I thought we were going down. All week has been a nightmare. But nothing prepares you for that feeling and its getting worse, the things im dreading, Waking up and remembering. Reading the texts that continue to flood in, Going to Work, The Fixtures Coming out, No England in Euro 2008 to take mind off all the transfer targets we might of been chasing if wed have stayed up. and most importantly, if we dont compete to get straight back up.
Foxhateram Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I'm really gutted, and it hasn't properly hit home yet. I played football today, and i got my little mate to shout the scores of the championship from the sidelines. I dont think iv had such and up and down day in my life before! I was pleased to be playing my first competitive match for a long while, and then results seemed to be going wel, but then suddenly it all went well. My team won 13 VS 2. but i didnt celebrate any of the goals, i almost scred myself and i still didnt celebrate. The final whistle of our game sounded and someone told me leicester were relegated. i just colapsed into heep on the centre circle of the pitch and cried my little heart out. The banter from the plymouth and West brom suppporters at my local club was awful. I got injured again today aswell, my knee didnt stand up to the game and my ankle swelled up like a baloon. Today has been awful. Once id hit the deck after the match no-one was going to move me, my head was in my hands and no-one could get a word out of me. i was just dejected so much. I left my boots and city shirt hanging in the changing rooms, i just couldnt take it home with me. I had to go to work tonight aswell, and well it was the longest 5 hours of my life. just wanted to come home, rest my knee and cry. which is what im doing now. i love you all!!!! City for pormotion next season
FilboFox Posted 4 May 2008 Author Posted 4 May 2008 It wasn't really today's result that did for us. The damage was done in recent home games. Home, away... wherever we played, we just weren't good enough apart from the odd match... its just depressing that this year, it has taken us down...
FilboFox Posted 4 May 2008 Author Posted 4 May 2008 I just hope Bearnie is OK tonight Why, what happened?
Ultra Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Poor bloke, probably never thought he'd ever see us in Division 3. It's starting to sink in just how much damage those clowns H******y and Mandaric have done to us.
FilboFox Posted 4 May 2008 Author Posted 4 May 2008 Indeed, even I have to now admit that Holloway didn't do well enough... I backed him and he let me and the whole club down.
David O'Leary Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I'm 16, and I will happily admit I cried my eyes out down in the bit in the where the turnstiles are...I'm just so gutted and it really hasn't sunk in yet that I have followed the worst ever Leicester City team with all my heart and soul...and they couldn't even score one ****ing goal. Gutted
