Leicester have a knack of being in the right place at the right time, their league cup wins coincided with the big teams fielding their under 14 sides,they stuck 2 fingers up to everybody when the went into administration around 2003, never sold assets and gained promotion to the prem as well as shafting everybody who worked on the new stadium to only pay 10p in the pound for what they owed, and finally their last promotion was also done on the back of breaking FFP similar to QPR but as they stayed up it has all been swept under the carpet.[/size]so in essence they invented FFP broke it and now sit top of the league, it all does not sit right does it?[/size]So before people start creaming themselves and patting them on the back that Leicester are somehow 'GOOD FOR FOOTBALL' think on.[/size]Bless the modern game eh![/size]

so in essence they invented FFP broke it and now sit top of the league, it all does not sit right does it?

So before people start creaming themselves and patting them on the back that Leicester are somehow 'GOOD FOR FOOTBALL' think on.

Bless the modern game eh!

Did I imagine us selling piper, savage etc and only not selling muzzy because he refused to leave? We sold as many of our valuable assets as we could...

Apparently listing tweets from bitter Spurs and Arsenal fans is now classed as journalism.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/04/03/leicester-conspiracy-theorists-rage-at-cheating-and-referees-fai/

Is this bloke having a laugh? Surely he is.

"Whatever one's view of the incidents, they are surely too subjective to be held against the officials in question as examples of poor conduct.

Those who want an inquiry will have to wait until later in Leicester's run-in - as the FA and the referees union, and all the others, have to resort to ever more extreme measures to keep Leicester City at the Premier League summit.Keep faith, the powers-that-be will undoubtedly incriminate themselves."

Yeah, i read that and thought it was ok right up to the end then i couldn't make out whether he was joking or not. Still can't decide

I would be worried if he was a relative or employee of mine. I love that his proof is quoting his own work that doesn't give any evidence just his opinion. He seems Ifto believe we were the most unfit team last season for some reason so can't believe we are better this year.

Unfortunately, I've seen tweets since saying we were the least fit team last season so clearly, the idiots are believing it and it's spreading.

They'll believe anything that follows their own opinions of what we're doing being impossible by fair means.

Rowett, Savage, Piper and (cough) Lee Marshall all sold, Tim Flowers and Simon Royce (on Prem wages) loaned out, as well as a host of bit part players loaned, released and free transferred.  I never knew that Middlesboro, Spurs, Villa, Sunderland had such talented youth teams, or that we could fix the draw to make sure we never played "the big teams".  All the admin and FFP stuff has been done to death, but its nice to hear it all over again despite being debunked every time.  Never let facts derail bitter conspiracy theories, otherwise what else would they have to dribble on about, eh?  :dry:

Exactly. It's become one of those things that annoys me everytime yet I can't stop reading. They'be most likely watched no more than 3 of our games all season and think they're experts. I still don't see how Vardy's penalty against Arsenal is seen as contentious. He played for it but it was still blatant.

Even some of our own fans struggle to understand that you can play for a penalty and it still be a stonewall penalty.

Vardy is probably the best in the league at halting or pausing his run and allowing a defender to clatter into him and commit a foul. Whether it was played for or not is totally irrelevant. If it's a foul inside the area, it's a penalty.

But he's wearing a Chelsea jumper. The only people that want shooting are any day trippers daft enough to have brought one.

 

I don't care who he supports he wants punching. Although you are correct, same logic should apply to anyone who bought one.

I don't think Monreal clattered him as much as stood there while Vardy ran square into him, but there we are. They won the game anyway so I don't see what the complaint is,

Didnt a couple of our players cover the most ground in the league last year? Us and Burnley ran for days. I don't think we had anyone in the last "ground covered" graphic I saw for this season.

The Spurs fans are amongst the least humble on this Earth. I used to think MU fans were bad but reading their fan forums is a fascinating insight into emerging bitterness.

 

The run in threads on Spurs forums follow a tell tale line of thinking. Starting with the eternal optimists:

 

From Arry:

"if if we can beat Utd and stoke (+6), then I see Leicester just managing draws in next 2 against Sunderland (a) and West Ham (h) (+2). That then means the gap is reduced to 3pts difference. And with Leicester still Utd and Chelski to play it ain't over yet."

 

Many Spurs fans are working out so many potential score combinations and permutations. All have Leicester falling over massively and of course, Spurs charging to the title. They are ignoring that Leicester are the team in form, extending their lead at the top not faltering. 18 points more in the league than any other team over the last 12 months. The great thing about football is, there is always hope and these Spurs fans are clinging on.

 

Then onto its nothing special:

 

From LeeMc

"LCFC are Owned by Thai billionaire "Business man" and are supposed already the biggest supported club in Thailand.....so sadly this is not the modern Clough dream. The LCFC story is another round of Chavs/Arabs, but of course Far East money."

 

So Leicester is just another Chelski. It doesn't matter that the money Spurs spent on Soldado would have bought the entire LC first 11.

 

Then there is are the theorists:

"Regarding Leicester City, the coincident date of initiation of systemic biased refereeing and the marked enhancement of fitness that could only be achieved via blood doping is entirely indicative of conspiratorial processes. "

 

Then the loathers:

 

From Drink!Drink!

"they are a boring team to watch. They are only "interesting" because they are underdogs about to pull something off. If any other team, even an everton or west ham, let alone bigger clubs played football like that everyone, including many of their own fans, would be very critical...nay scathing about their playing style."

 

From Smogz

"It's a bit sad to see a park the bus and counter attack team win the league. Now other bad teams will see that it can be done and in a couple of years time all lower half teams will have adapted that strategy. The league will become so boring to watch that people start cancelling their expensive TV subscriptions. The money will stop flooding in and after a few years the EPL will be a shit league up in the west corner of Europe that nobody cares about.

That's why Tottenham needs to win."

 

I don't think so. Any fan would love their team to be table toppers even if they built a drawbridge in front of goal. Even a spurs fan.

 

Then finally when you think all hope is lost up pops White Heart Brain to save the day:

 

Responding to Smogz

"What a pathetic post.like us they have been brilliant this season and you and many others sound like a bunch of whinging idiots,saying they are crap etc... If only we could win 1-0 instead of choking under the pressure. Take Kane out of our team and we would be bang average ,look at our results against the top 12 this season. This season has seen record viewing figures in the USA and almost all the countries in the far east,obviously because of us and nothing to do with Leicester i suppose."

 

 

The Brain has it absolutely spot on, both Spurs and Leicester have been brilliant this year. Any combination that can break the hermetically sealed top 4, the self proclaimed elite, gives hope to billions of fans and players around the World. People need reminding Chelsea were a division 2 side not so long ago and it's only money that made the difference. Leicester and Spurs can show this season, for the first time since 2003, it doesn't have to all be about the money and football shouldn't be, its much more important than that.

I would be the same in their position.

 

We're 7pts ahead and I fear Tottenham & Arsenal winning all their games and us just falling short.

 

If we were 7pts behind I'd think we could win all our games and they will slip up at Stoke and Chelsea away, etc.

I could sort of understand if the decisions went against the rules but by the letter of the law they are both not penalties. Once again just trying to find excuses

Apparently, referees subconsciously don't want to be the one to ruin the 'fairytale', so they make decisions in our favour.

And that is from a pundit.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03q1f0n

 

Seriously they can fvck off with this, what ridiculous drivel all because Koeman spat his dummy out to deflect from his teams poor performance in front of goal.

 

So many refs have looked at those decisions and come out and said those decisions were correct, because they were.  If Ranieri had kicked up a stink over the red card for Wanyama then it would have been analysed and some would say red, some would say yellow, but because we just get on with it people don't think we have had a bad decision all season. We have had loads, but instead of whining about it we just focus on the game and not trying to influence refs.
