Collymore Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ity/7517960.stm Howard joined Leicester from Derby County (Getty Images) Steve Howard says Leicester City's players are desperate to win promotion back to the Championship at the first time of asking. "All the lads only want one season in this league. Then we can get back where we belong," the striker said. "It's going to be tough and it's not going to be the prettiest football. "But we'll grind, we'll kick, we'll sweat and we'll get out of this league," the 32-year-old former Derby forward told BBC Radio Leicester. And Howard said new manager Nigel Pearson has been well received by the players. "He's set down some rules and standards which is what we need and everybody has responded to that," he explained. Leicester face one of Howard's former teams Luton Town in a pre-season friendly at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday.

That's be a novelty for the majority of LCFC players, I bet Howard had to look that up in a dictionary.
Phlashman Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 Lets hope it's true, because if it is we've got the players to steamroller this league.
Darkzzz_ Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 As long as Howard does his job then I will be happy.
Guest Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 I love the phrase 'back where we belong'. Does anybody know which league we belong in anymore?
MC Prussian Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 I am desperate reading less player statements on the OS. They tend to be slightly repetitious.

I find it funny that players always make statements exactly like these once they've got a club relegated, if they'd have done all what they say here last season we wouldn't be in this bloody league!
Joe. Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 Howard was one of the main players near the end of last season who looked totally disinterested so I hope he'll have booked his ideas up in time for the start of this one.
Daggers Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 "He's set down some rules and standards which is what we need and everybody has responded to that," he explained. Holloway didn't? That if a manager doesn't you don't have to try as hard and thus end up being relegated? I don't see the point in these player statements - it's nothing more than meaningless filler...I reckon we are long overdue some out and out in-depth balls honesty.

Bill Anderson - he's your man for in-depth arse licking reports
Ric Flair Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 I'd much have preferred an article by a City player saying they're not arsed if they go up or not. That would have the natives up in arms.
davieG Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 I'd much have preferred an article by a City player saying they're not arsed if they go up or not. That would have the natives up in arms. We already know that
The Stig Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 Howard oozed "I can't be arsed with this last year". He best improve, or Pearson best drop him.
jaybee Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 There were a few players last season whose attitude stank, they know who they are and they are the reason we are in this league. Howard was one of the most obvious culprits, and I think it's a bit rich his coming out with this shite. I saw him at Hinckley and he still either can't or won't jump for the ball, looked slow and at times just as head down I can't be bothered with this as last season. It's a pity nobody else wants him, never mind a donation for a flag (many congratulations for that one Fez), I would start a fund to pay for his removals van.
Maybes Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 I love the phrase 'back where we belong'. Does anybody know which league we belong in anymore? Exactly what I thought. We dont belong anywhere apart from league one. "We are where we are"
Guest Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 Didn't see the point in starting a new thread for this but Howard puts his faith in wingers
Monk Posted 22 July 2008 Posted 22 July 2008 Sherlock Howard strikes again. Nothing irritates me more than articles stating the obvious.
