Happy Fox Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Enjoy! Poor sheepshaggers. http://dcfcfans.co.uk/topic/13672-disliked-clubs/ Leicester: for cheating the system in 2002 and using administration to wipe their debts and hold onto their players. Leicester City!! Yes, it's a very recent addition. I'm fed up of losing to them. I'm fed up of Pearson's smug face. I'm fed up that Manish and Claridge can talk for 10 mins about Leicester in depth but no one else. I'm fed up of Nugent and King. Their keeper I could smack square on the nose until my hand breaks. Leicester starting to really get to me, a bit like an a small dog with a persistant annoying yap that wont go away. Leicester for the noise they made during Jackie Stamps one minute silence. First time I witnessed disrespect for such an event. Leicester. Never liked 'em anyway but the combination of a smug, patronising manager; Nugent; FLS; owners' play thing really does it for me. Even dislike this bunch more than Forest and Leeds put together. Leicester - nothing club, everyone outside of derby seems to think that they're our rivals?!?! Leicetser - cheated their way to PL in 2003. Leicester - Never cared about Leicester but i hate Dave Nugent or Nigel Pearson that much that they have now overtaken forest for me. Fester -- For that play-off final. Leicester: try growing up with Leicester fans being the only Derby fan in the year. "We're massive because Leicester fans present Match of the Day and the football league show", **** off. League Cup my arse. Arseholes, everything that's good about them has been bought (apart from Liam Moore's who's a really nice bloke actually; met him)
Manwell Pablo Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 It's just in keeping with football fans in general, envy is not a pleasant thing. Their "we don't care" stance is slightly annoying as having been a Leicester fan who went to every game 23 years ago and beyond I know full well they do, maybe as I live in North West Leicestershire it's a little different but there we are. This doesn't really prove that though, this purely because we are 5 points clear at the top. We're getting stick for exactly the same reason Cardiff were getting stick on here last season, we're in danger of walking away with the division and other teams don't like it. Especially those like Derby who are in the chasing pack. No one cared that Cardiff we're Welsh and changed their kit colour etc until they were top, no one cared Watford loaned players until they were in the play offs. And you wouldn't have found many people bringing 2002/2003 (although I'd love to know how ending up broke is cheating) up and calling us big spenders before the start of the season......purely because we're doing well.
Dan Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 some of that is brilliant. Derby speaking like they're a big club is always worth a laugh.
RoxumJD Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I find it really funny how they never want to admit that we're a rival despite in a forum about disliked clubs we keep appearing!
MrSpaM Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I like the part where he claims we aren't rivals, and then goes on to say how much he hates us as a club
Out Foxed Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 They're not rivals. we consistently beat them. it's not even a contest. at least forest manage to get some spawny results.
MC Prussian Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 It's not the behavior or statements of rivals, that. And I'm not overly interested in the debate whether we should give each other the "sign of quality rivalry", I couldn't care less about Derby. Some people are just desperate to create and make up tensions between (local) clubs of any sort. Derby and Forest - now that's a different matter altogether. But those recent comments about us are simply representative of their current jealousy. Jealousy, because they haven't beaten us in years. Jealousy, because despite their young and talented squad, they've been found out to be too lightweight and susceptible in the back in that 4-1 drubbing at our hands. They're jealous because we're at least one, if not two years ahead of them in terms of development. And they're jealous because we're top of the league and ten points clear of them at the moment. Let them be. They'll get there. Eventually.
Corky Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I'm fed up that Manish and Claridge can talk for 10 mins about Leicester in depth but no one else. Clem is at Derby virtually every home match you morons.
Kitchandro Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Some people are just desperate to create and make up tensions between (local) clubs of any sort. Derby and Forest - now that's a different matter altogether. How ironic because that couldn't be a less different matter. Or are you being sarcastic?

Not true at all, I thought they were bellends from minute 1 and I don't envy them at all. They've had a nightmare, they've sold out everything, made themselves the laughing stock of British football and nobody will forget it. And for what? A relegation battle. Point taken about Derby (and Watford tbf) though. It's got jealousy written all over it, not only do we beat them (usually thrash them in fact) but we're leaving them behind. It's all rather sad. I wish they would just admit it's because we're better than them rather than making up some inaccurate bullshit about how we cheated or how Pearson is a smug twat. This is a club with Steve McClaren as a manager FFS! He's the definition of smug.
Jace Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I love Derby I can think of usually 4 good reasons why nearly every season
MC Prussian Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 How ironic because that couldn't be a less different matter. Or are you being sarcastic? I always considered the Derby vs. Forest games much more feisty affairs than us playing Derby. I guess, it really depends on where in Leicestershire you're from.
LCCFox96 Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Most of those comments don't bother me. The usual bigged up rival talk and I'm sure some similar comments would be made by leicester fans about derby. It's just the way a rivalry is. But that last comment. What a pile of shit. Anything good with us is bought in. The way I see it players in any squad could fall into 5 categories. A) academy graduate B) young player bought in relatively cheap (for their potential and/or future fees) or older players bought in for smaller fees (<£1mil). C) free transfers. D) larger transfer fee players (> £1mil). E) loanees So our squad falls into; A) Andy King, Liam Moore, Jeff Schlupp, Tom Hopper, Conrad Logan (5) B) Ritchie De Laet, Danny Drinkwater, Dean Hammond, Matty James, Jamie Vardy, Anthony Knockaert, Riyad Mahrez, Chris Wood. (8) C) Lloyd Dyer, Zoumana Bakayogo, GTF, Marcin Wasilewski, Kevin Phillips, David Nugent (6) D) Kasper Schmeichel, Paul Konchesky, Wes Morgan, SSL, Waghorn. (5) E) Ignasi Miquel (1) Even bringing our loaned out player won't support that Derby fan's comment as 3 were free transfer, 1 was just less than £1mil and Adam Smith is an academy product. Comparing this to their squad; A) Jeff Hendrick, Mark O'Brien, Will Hughes, Mason Bennent (4) B) Craig Forsyth, Craig Bryson, Paul Coutts, Jaime Ward, Johnny Russell, Ben Davies, Jake Buxton, Adam Legzdins, James Bailey, Simon Dawkins, James O'Connor (11) C) Lee Grant, Chris Martin, Saul Deeny, John Eustace, Valentin Gjokaj, Michael Hoganson (6) D) Shaun Barker, Richard Keogh, Connor Sammon (3) E) Zak Whitbread, Andre Wisdom, Patrick Bamford, Michael Keane (4 - Max anyway) So it becomes clear the only stand out difference is the occasional large buy on our part. We have 1 more academy graduate in our first team squad so that whole "they but everyone" thing is hypocritical given we have more of our own players in the squad. We both have taken equal advantage of the free transfer market while based on this season they use the loan market more frequently. I think to say we have bought players like Danny Drinwater or Matty James is general as we have paid a fee (which could be a fraction of what they are worth) and taken their development forward over 2-3 years of hard work since Pearson has returned. While derby could say some of their fees are generally smaller they still have the occasional big buy even if under £1mil (eg. Russell and Dawkins had £500k plus fees). Whilst some of our fees are slightly large (roughly £250k excess of Derby's fee) their squad is marginally bigger so the fees even out slightly. This is a pattern that should trend across most of the 'big' sides in the division, like QPR, Forest, Bolton and Blackburn. There is practically no difference so comments alluding to our "big spending leicester" name tag piss me off so much given how far we have come under NP and have spent less than numerous teams, including derby, this season. Sorry for the long post. Needed that off my chest - "everything good about them is bought" - good joke.
Kitchandro Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I always considered the Derby vs. Forest games much more feisty affairs than us playing Derby. I guess, it really depends on where in Leicestershire you're from. Perhaps, but you're missing the fact that Forest & Derby is one of the most forced 'rivalries' in Britain. You do realise that the only history behind it is the Clough thing don't you, and that their matches were a very minor rivalry before that? That they're so desperate to get publicity for it that they invented a trophy for it? Leicester & Nottingham have always been the big 2 Cities in the East Midlands, and Leicester/Forest was naturally the big derby until Clough came along. They're just 2 embarrassing clubs who need each other so that the media will keep going on about their former glory.
Carl the Llama Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 How could anyone dislike Pearson? He's one of the most down to earth managers around.
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 How could anyone dislike Pearson? He's one of the most down to earth managers around. But have you seen his trainers?!?!

It's not really, their two clubs of similar stature and their 20 minutes apart, I wouldn't say it's forced at all.

Saxondale Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Pure envy. I actually think I want Derby to finish second and get promoted with us - just to spite the Forest.
