Reading all this bitterness is hilarious and only makes the victory all the more sweeter. It also proves my pre match point about the man u plastics that know **** all about the game.

"Pub team", "Vardy will be back in the third tier in a couple of years" - if we're a pub team with a league one strike force, what does that make them?

If I was the sort of Man U fan that posted some of that crap I'd...

 

1.Be very worried about a manager who thinks that buying endless forwards and totally ignoring obvious defensive issues that have been apparent for some time has his finger on the pulse. 

 

2.Has had a massive dressing room argument with his players where they question his tactical decisions which, in my eyes, is the thin end of the wedge to losing the dressing room. 

 

3.Thinks that losing regularly is the result of players not adapting to 'his philosophy'. When, in fact it may be his philosophy that doesn't work.

 

4.Be thinking back to the mental toughness and organisation of a Ferguson side and see how far this Man U team has regressed from that.

 

Instead it's all the fault of Clattenburg and Vardy! Delusion doesn't even come close. Mind you, not being a Man Utd fan I couldn't give a flying ****!

I don't think Vardy would see playing in League One in a few years as a negative either. He was in non-League two years ago, he's played a major part in a Championship win, has got a medal for it and has now terrorised Manchester United in the Premier League on his first start.

 

If he has another couple of years of Premier League football then steps back a bit, I reckon he'll take it.

Reminded me of last year, but instead of derby it was man u

 

Not for me, Man United had the game for an hour, Derby were never in it.

Show a little class is exactly right.

 

To be fair most of the United fans I know in person have been fairly gracious. Obviously a little wound up with the pen but that's understandable.  There's just a lot of morons on the internet

I'm loving the constant belittling of our club. United fans seem so eager to point out how mediocre a team above them in the league having played 5 difficult fixtures (of which they were meant to be one) is, as though that somehow makes them feel better about the loss. Logic isn't your strong point if you support a football team you have no regional or family ties to and it's proved so again - my words of consolation to Utd fans are this: Look at our previous results and see how good we actually are, now stop worrying, if you can beat relegation fodder 4-0 you'll be safe for at least another year.

Exactly! Why would you want to call the side who just clouted your own a pub side?

 

Re: glory grabbing - as we were putting the last 3 goals past them and I was losing my mind in a good way, I started to realise that you could only experience such heights of emotion as a spectator from following a club that meant something to you. A glory grabber will never know what that game felt like to us, for at least a couple of reasons. One is that there is no real connection between themselves and the club. I normally pick a side to root for whenever I watch a match as a neutral. Feels good when they do well, but it's nothing compared to a goal for Leicester. I understand that it would mean more to me if I picked that same team all the time, but it would still pale in comparison.

 

The other reason is that glory supporters always expect their side to win, so it's no big deal when they do. A plastic Man Utd fan can see his team win the Champions League, and not even feel half as overjoyed as a true Fleetwood Town fan does seeing his team reach the Football League. Evidently, the lows still affect glory hunters pretty badly. It's the worst of both worlds - you're numb to the highs and the lows are made all the worse because of the huge expectations.

 

You have to be a special kind of stupid to be a glory grabber. Expecting to win everything takes all of the joy out of being a supporter. It's very much the same as how scoring in basketball means nothing compared to a goal in football. The team is expected to score every time they go up the other end of the court, so when it happens, no-one is bothered. I'm willing to bet the inventor thought something along the lines of, "People like scoring, so let's make it easy to score so it happens more often. More scoring = more enjoyment." Doesn't work that way. Gold is valuable because it rare. If it was everywhere, we would value it as much as we value dirt.

 

Picking some random big club to follow is a terrible idea for so many reasons. Some others include; you will never see them play live, tickets are expensive, and you're helping to kill the sport. You're robbing your local club of a supporter, and instead giving money to the already bloated fat cats at the top. And for what?
