Jimbo Posted 22 August 2015 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

Mike Oxlong Posted 22 August 2015 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
Jimbo Posted 22 August 2015 Posted 22 August 2015 Which Steve Walsh? Player Steve Walsh not scout Steve Walsh

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
Carl the Llama Posted 22 August 2015 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 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.

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. Edited 22 August 2015 by Finnaldo

Freesolo Posted 22 August 2015 Posted 22 August 2015 Funny thing is more people in the world call it Soccer than Football
EnglishOxide Posted 22 August 2015 Posted 22 August 2015 Who gives a shit whether they call it soccer or we call it football ffs. Its the same sport and has grown a lot over there. Piss off with this faux superior attitude.

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.

Its the ball that is a foot long mate, at least that's what i read somewhere

Actually there was quite a lot of 'foot' in very early American football, just as much as in Rugby Football for example.

RedSoxUK Posted 22 August 2015 Posted 22 August 2015 Most of the Americans I know that actually follow football have a wider knowledge of world football than most Leicester fans I know.

FireFox Posted 22 August 2015 Posted 22 August 2015 'Murica be taking down FIFA and won the WWC. I think we can call football soccer if we want.
