acooling08 Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 Surely change the draw in the second to last game to a win in 1928/9 and we would of won the old version of today's premiership.
Kitchandro Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 The '61 cup final to give us the fame of being the side who stopped Spurs doing the double that year and also end the whole only-club-with-four-finals-&-no-wins stuff. The Stoke game would be a close second because I don't agree that relegation itself did us that much good. We narrowly missed out on relegation to the third tier at the start of the 90s and rebuilt into a decent, successful team under Brian Little without having to spend a year with the dead men. We'd have probably still taken on Pearson and had a good stab at the Championship, if not a transitional season, instead of League One anyway. Completely agree
Guest Bilo Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 Because I'm greedy, I would change the following. April 10th 1929 - Portsmouth 1-0 Leicester City. Had we won that game, we could have won our first title. An even more bizarre result considering we thumped them 10-0 six months previously. The last four games of the 1962-1963 season and the 1963 FA Cup Final to make us double winners. March 10th 2001 - Leicester City 1-2 Wycombe Wanderers. We were 4th in the league at the time and an FA Cup semi-final could have been massive. August 18th 2001 - Any result other than the 5-0 reverse to Bolton would have been an improvement.
lcfcadam Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 Can't believe some of the answers here, Cardiff in a play off? One of the FA cup finals or just one result to give us the League in the 1928/29 season for me, we can never really be considered a great club until you have won the league or the FA cup. It makes me sad that I am 95% certain neither are going to happen in my lifetime. Don't see the point in changing a score in a match that happened before my lifetime - I don't give a shit whether or not we won the FA Cup years ago, for me it's about what's happening here and now whilst I'm an active fan. No one can stand it when other clubs go on about what they won in the past when they've been unsuccessful for years (Forest?) so what would be the advantage in us being able to do it? For that reason it's definitely the Cardiff play-off 2nd leg for me, had we won that we could've seen Leicester in the Wembley limelight and, I believe, almost certainly in the Prem...
Jaspa Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 I'd change the 3-3 against Arsenal at home. Leicester 124 - 3 Arsenal

Because as much as it is stupid, in the real world what you've won and what you haven't won matters. When I'm talking to foreigners about Leicester and they ask 'what have Leicester won?' they don't know what the League Cup is. People need to be able to brag! And lets face it, Forest have absolutely nothing on our club apart from that period where they won a bunch of trophies - yet we can't shut them up, but if we'd won one of the big trophies, we wouldn't even need to try and shut them up!
Bagworthblue Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 Crystal Palace's late equaliser leading to the replay where Tunch picked up his injury or the 5-0 defeat by Bolton - 1st game of the relegation season - can't be arsed to check dates!

I'm sorry but that attitude is just totally nuts. History lives forever and nothing great ever comes easy, we have came close to that at times in the past and just never quite got there. We can moan about Forest all we want, I'd be singing it every week had we won european cup, its effectively a status at that point you were the greatest side in the world. I would of wanted my Grandad kids to know Leicester once won the league or the FA Cup. It's very sad it wont happen.

Fair enough I do understand this point of view, just personally I'm far more bothered about the way the club is perceived by current standing and current results and have never really been all that interested in what went on years ago. I don't think you're attitude is nuts, and I don't think my attitude is nuts. I'd never even heard of Leicester as a place until I moved here about 10 years ago so you can probably cut me some slack, I've come a long way...

Can I be greedy too then! How life would be different as a Leicester fan if even a couple of those results were different.
Donut Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 The two most important domestic competitions are the Premier League (Division 1 in old money) and the FA Cup. Therefore changing the result of an FA Cup final, or result that would have enabled us to win the Divison 1 title are by far more important than any game costing us relegation or a playoff semi final or final
Bagworthblue Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 I thought we drew 0-0? memory like a sieve me - I could have sworn there was a late equaliser or something happened late on in the game to force the replay but I'm probably wrong yup you are right - just checked!

That was an FA cup 3rd round game Or are you suggesting changing the score so the replay never happened and tunch didnt get injured?
Bagworthblue Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 That was an FA cup 3rd round game Or are you suggesting changing the score so the replay never happened and tunch didnt get injured? Yep pretty pointless replay as we lost anyway and lost Tunch! We'd have been better off losing at home in the first place!!( or winning - even better)
Vlad the Fox Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 The game that got John Barnes sacked from celtic and therefore led to o'neil leaving just as we were on the verge of what I believe was something big. If he had the money that tayler wasted, about 25m in total I think, we could of really pushed on.
nuttytimmy Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 I agree that the 1928/29 season would've been nice, as would the win in the FA Cup over Wycombe in more recent years... but then P***r T****r might've ended-up being a hero
Trav Le Bleu Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 The 28-29 season is a good call as are any of the FA CUP Finals (Personally, I'd want it to be the 63 final against Man Utd, just to take their tally down by one). Being winners of a major trophy (League Cup, meh) would be nice. But how about 23rd Feb 2008 against Coventry, which we lost 2-0. That would have seen them relegated and we would still be one of only ten clubs never to play outside the top two divisions.
gazfox9 Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 One of the FA cup finals for me too, just so we could say we'd won the bloody thing!
Bellend Sebastian Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 I'd definitely go for the FA Cup game against Wycombe. Everyone slags Peter Taylor off now, but for the first few months it was all going swimmingly, and it was only with that game that everything started to fall apart. I really didn't think one result could smash a team's confidence like that, but this one was devastating, setting us on the road to the disastrous relegation season a few months later and administration the following season and all the fun we've had since then i.e. not that much
Jace Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Chelsea away FA Cup 5th round replay 1997 chelsea got the dodgy penalty and went on to win the cup we were on for the double that year!
