I'd have Fuchs in there over Sagna, Morgan deserves a shout too. Credit to Huthy though he's definitely up there.
NeilLCFC Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03j3kkb Is Kasper the only player we still have that was signed by Sven?
MC Prussian Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 (edited) Is Kasper the only player we still have that was signed by Sven? Yep. The last ones to leave were Konchesky and Nugent. EDIT: Technically, Konchesky is still part of the club. Although I don't see him returning in the summer. Edited 10 February 2016 by MC Prussian
Corky Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 It's quite a strange article but I can see his view.
Nalis Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 You're right, I feel so engaged with what's going on I almost feel totally disengaged in a way that fans from other clubs don't seem to. Living in London I'm the only Leicester fan at work - people come up to me all the time to talk about it and I don't ever have anything interesting to say (what's new?). "You must be on cloud 9" "Yep". How do you elaborate on that feeling? The people I am talking to are by and large Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea fans - it is literally impossible to convey to these people what it feels like in words - they're used to being at the top of the league or having great runs. There's a Palace fan I get on well with but again, he just cannot comprehend being top of the Premier League in February - he can't get into that frame of mind and neither, to be honest, can I. I feel like I'm suffering a sort of existential crisis. This isn't supposed to be happening. It means everything and nothing at the same time. Some days I walk around with a massive smile on my face but I dread people noticing and coming to talk to me about it because I simply do not know how to convey what I'm experiencing, as much as I'd like to. Anyway that proposed book title is terrible, please don't call it that. I am too engulfed in excitable apathy to come up with anything better. Dont know how this post didnt have any reps before now considering some of the shite posts that do. I'm in the same position and this post describes the situation brilliantly. 1

Captain... Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 http://m.leicestermercury.co.uk/Leicester-City-OPINION-Thanks-support-Robbie/story-28696406-detail/story.html An opinion piece on Robbie Savage. I don't mind him too much because he's an easy target and he gets a lot of undeserved stick, but I didn't know he tweeted that. Cock. What a weird thing to write about, we've just gone top by 5 points after comprehensively outclassing our nearest rivals. So many amazing things to write a feature on and he chose this time to unleash his bitterness towards Savage. Not a Leicester legend but, despite his antics, he is still quite popular among the Leicester fans and he was partly responsibly for some of the best moments this club has had.
Koke Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 Savage was part of a successful team here and he won his only trophy with us but I never warmed to him. And his antics on the radio and general shite opinions has put me off him even more. I don't care enough about him to write a whole article on him though. That's a bit odd.
kyleolly Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 Savage was part of a successful team here and he won his only trophy with us but I never warmed to him. And his antics on the radio and general shite opinions has put me off him even more. I don't care enough about him to write a whole article on him though. That's a bit odd. I loved him while he was here, hated him when he was at other clubs and for the most part hate him on the radio he's a pantomime villain he will jump on the bandwagon while we are doing well but if we struggle at any part next season he will turn round and say I told you Leicester are shit let him get on with it!
ajthefox Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 Savage is a complete bellend and that tweet pisses me off, but devoting a whole article to him is a bit much. Someone is very bitter.
Webbo Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 Tbf the bloke was probably a little bit peed off about Savage referring to us as "we" but had to write 500 words, or whatever, on it to make it into an article.

harpendenfox Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 Not really. Current thinking is Twenty First Century Foxes. Seems like a way of capturing the bottom-to-top in a year thing, but I'm not set on it. Depends what happens now I guess. If we actually do it... Call it Five Points Clear. Or whatever the number is of the maximum lead we attain.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 Savage is a prat let's be honest. He just shouts over people, awful for punditry work but perfect for garbage like 606

easilee Posted 10 February 2016 Posted 10 February 2016 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZWA84AZcT4 Not much we don't know. Just nice to hear lots of different opinions on how awesome we are. Edited 10 February 2016 by easilee
NZ_Foxile Posted 11 February 2016 Posted 11 February 2016 A lot has happened in the last 5 years! Nice video https://www.facebook.com/bbcrlsport/videos/955267871188829/
Babylon Posted 11 February 2016 Posted 11 February 2016 Is Kasper the only player we still have that was signed by Sven? That we own, yes I think so... we're probably still paying some of them off though.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 11 February 2016 Posted 11 February 2016 5 years since they became our owners. Although we didn't manage promotion to the Premier League straight away, each year they stayed with us and invested in this club. Their belief in us to be a success has been fantastic. They've payed off debts and bought in the right man to bring us to the top flight, and now we have Ranieri who has been another smart appointment following Pearson's exit. They've preserved our colours, crest and maintained our club name. Credit to them in terms of what they've done for the club, investment for example.

ScouseFox Posted 11 February 2016 Posted 11 February 2016 That we own, yes I think so... we're probably still paying some of them off though. konchesky is still our player ain't he?
Facecloth Posted 11 February 2016 Posted 11 February 2016 konchesky is still our player ain't he? Isn't he only contracted until the summer, so he's very unlikely to return from his loan?
AndWhat? Posted 11 February 2016 Posted 11 February 2016 You're right, I feel so engaged with what's going on I almost feel totally disengaged in a way that fans from other clubs don't seem to.

Anyway that proposed book title is terrible, please don't call it that. I am too engulfed in excitable apathy to come up with anything better. Living in North Wales surrounded by Man Utd and Liverpool 'fans' I feel exactly the same. I just don't talk to anyone about it apart from my mates from Leicester. But I am constantly thinking about it! Right now at work I have Foxestalk on one tab and the Premier League table on an other and I am just flicking between the two.
