Jimbo Posted 22 August 2015 Share Posted 22 August 2015 (edited) Just heard steve Walsh on talk sport and I'm sure he said that Mr Ranieri suggested to Mrs Ranieri that when he took the job they would live in London and he would travel up. But Mrs Ranieri disagreed and said that they would live in Leicester and if she wanted to go to London she would travel there for the day. If that's true then that's top class support from Mrs Ranieri Edited 22 August 2015 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Oxlong Posted 22 August 2015 Share Posted 22 August 2015 (edited) Re that article from the American Spurs fan - Can't see why all the fuss. It is scientifically proven that the brains of many people living in the USA consist of 93% fat. Edited 22 August 2015 by Mike Oxlong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true then that's top class support from Mrs Ranieri I think it's from this interview. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/leicester-city/11817603/Claudio-Ranieri-relishing-return-to-Premier-League-with-Leicester-City.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 22 August 2015 Share Posted 22 August 2015 It is an article written by an spurs fan from the states, aimed at other spurs fans in the states to give them a humorous take on Spurs opposition whilst also providing a bit of context about their opposition which living in the states they most likely won't know. It is old hat to us but to foreign Spurs fans who know nothing about our club will probably get a kick out of it. What I'm saying is it is not meant for us, so don't bother reading it, don't bother posting it multiple times in various threads, don't waste your time getting offended, stop being so sensitive and enjoy the game. Correct. Just click on their predictions article if you're not convinced that it's for American fans with little idea of football goings on outside of Spurs FC.

jonah Posted 22 August 2015 Share Posted 22 August 2015 Just because the Americans call it soccer doesn't mean that it is.It doesn't have to be acceptable to us just because the Americans say it is.

Its football always has been always will be regardless of what they say. We called it soccer first though. We just turned it into simply football. Before in England there was Rugby Football and 'Soccer' (Association) Football, 'soccer' marked the difference to Rugby.

Piss off with this faux superior attitude. I wouldn't mind if it was a situation like in Australia where they have a strange alternate ball game which makes regular use of the foot, but to insist on calling the American egg-chase "football" defies all logic.

Actually there was quite a lot of 'foot' in very early American football, just as much as in Rugby Football for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
