FuriousFox46 Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Well, Zola said in pre-season he wanted to develop a game plan that meant we took the game to opponents rather than basing it only on counter attacking, that didn't really work at all, and when it didn't work he had no plan B. We tried to get Chalobah back from Chelsea, but over the summer he signed a new deal at Chelsea and was on £35K a week, Chelsea wanted us to pay it, we refused so Forest stepped in and paid it instead, more fool them. No 18 year old in a second division is worth that. Then of course our player of the year Abdi, signed permanently, started the season brilliantly and now has some phantom injury that no one can work out so he never looks like recovering from it. He's been out since August really. Of all the "Udinese loans" we had last season, apart from the ones who never made more than a couple of appearances (Beleck, Fanchone, Neuton) - Vydra was the only one not to be retained, because he wanted a shot at the Premiership and his agent is a gobshite. That's ridiculous, as I've said a lot, if you can't take it, don't give it. That's football I'd take what you read on the forums now with a pinch of salt, most of them know that Leicester fans are coming on to read what they're saying so are just posting drivel for the fun of it. Exactly. I don't have any problem with Watford for last season, I've not been a fan of many of your fans attitude since the start of last season. The best example of the new found arrogance is shouting "HOOF!" any time the ball travels more than 5 yards, as if Watford are god's gift to football. I realise they're likely the minority, but they're certainly a noisier minority than they once were.

Nice plan, good luck with that one.
Bert Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 True. Although, I do find it absurd that Watford fans have the audacity to complain about our players celebrating our goals in November? How dare we? I think the whole pitch invasion, rubbing it in our faces, PA singing, mascot and replaying the video from last season was to blame for that. I'm so glad we won that day. Was the game I wanted to win the most that season (for reasons mentioned), the players banished any demons they had from last season and more than anything it was so satisfying for Knocky to score.
FuriousFox46 Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Also - another thing I remembered which obviously contributes to the way some of our fans have acted: When we came up to the KP for the first leg and lost 1-0, some of your fans after the game as we were leaving were acting like they'd already got to Wembley, a fair few cretins (every club has them, some more than others) shouting some ridiculous abuse. Of course, we have some atrocious fans too. The only difference is and I mean this as no disrespect to you, but we have a classier club. We wouldn't have mocked you had the situation been reversed in November with big screen replays and silly re-enactments by a mascot. And before you ask how I know this... we didn't do it to Forest, and there's not exactly any love lost between the two of us.
KFS Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Why the fvck are WE tinpot?!?! -Premier League Academy -Stonking big stadium -Big City -Solid away following -Not a gleaming history, but Europe has been to Leicester for competitive match ups -Ambitious but cautious (from management all the way through to the fans) All of the above very much factual, surely that lad is on the windup
RookeryHorn Posted 4 February 2014 Author Posted 4 February 2014 The best example of the new found arrogance is shouting "HOOF!" any time the ball travels more than 5 yards, as if Watford are god's gift to football. It's funny you mention this, it pisses me off - they're the same penises who will complain when a defender wants to play it out from the back and ends up ****ing it up, letting the opposition score. I reckon it's because we've gone from a transition of hoofy managers to Zola who played carpet ball, so some of our fans (the drains on the gene pool) got on their high horse. We don't play quite like we did under Zola anymore, a lot more... Italian I guess, is the best way to describe.
Grewks Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Also - another thing I remembered which obviously contributes to the way some of our fans have acted: When we came up to the KP for the first leg and lost 1-0, some of your fans after the game as we were leaving were acting like they'd already got to Wembley, a fair few cretins (every club has them, some more than others) shouting some ridiculous abuse. That always happens in the play-offs with the fans which win the opening leg. Cardiff fans were exactly the same when they won 1-0 at our ground. The way you celebrated at the time is not the problem we have with you, it is the constant celebration of it to this day, and i will say it again, it meant nothing.
Vardinhio Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Well, Zola said in pre-season he wanted to develop a game plan that meant we took the game to opponents rather than basing it only on counter attacking, that didn't really work at all, and when it didn't work he had no plan B.

That's football I'd take what you read on the forums now with a pinch of salt, most of them know that Leicester fans are coming on to read what they're saying so are just posting drivel for the fun of it. Ultimately you've lost Abdi and Vydra who were in my opinion your largest threat last season. Look I've nothing against Watford I'm sure they will end up there or there abouts on the edges of the playoffs. As LCFC fans I would just say that many of us feel that it is funny how some of your fans seem to think the Deeney goal is "history making" etc. Neither of us went up or down, neither of us won anything that day. Of course we were gutted but look at us now...I'd much rather be in our boots than yours.
RookeryHorn Posted 4 February 2014 Author Posted 4 February 2014 You and me both. It's a shame we bottled it big time at Wembley and were tactically outclassed by a country bumpkin ferret, from that moment the Deeney goal was just in vain.
Corky Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 'Still just remember that you may beat us every time in the future and no one will remember it. But last May has gone down in the history of football and you cant erase it, people all over the world remember it.' lol A last minute winner has gone down in the history of football.
RookeryHorn Posted 4 February 2014 Author Posted 4 February 2014 A last minute winner has gone down in the history of football. With all due respect, it probably has. As a neutral, and for the game in general, that 20 seconds was bonkers and will forever be remembered by all. Made even more mental by the fact it basically happened with Brentford a week (?) before?

Indeed. It's really great how we're both top of our respective leagues now. Sort of like compensation.
One Legged Beaver Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 In fairness the way they are saying the tinpot lines, such as comparing us to Yeovil, I'm pretty sure is tongue in cheek for the most part. Of course, we have some atrocious fans too.The only difference is and I mean this as no disrespect to you, but we have a classier club.We wouldn't have mocked you had the situation been reversed in November with big screen replays and silly re-enactments by a mascot.And before you ask how I know this... we didn't do it to Forest, and there's not exactly any love lost between the two of us. I seem to remember that we did play the Knockaert goal before the Forest game (just not on the same scale), or have I just dreamt something up?

Bert Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I don't remember it and I was looking out for it...We did play it. And look what happened!
FuriousFox46 Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 We did play it. And look what happened! Really? I was certain we didn't!
Corky Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 We did play it. And look what happened! Did we? I thought we played the 3-0 win from 2010.
One Legged Beaver Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Did we? I thought we played the 3-0 win from 2010. I seem to remember big cheers as the Knocky goal went in on the TV.
fazzyfox Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 "Still just remember that you may beat us every time in the future and no one will remember it. But last May has gone down in the history of football and you cant erase it, people all over the world remember it." Absolutely, I hear that in the deepest outposts of the amazon rain forest there are as yet un-discovered tribes who speak of nothing else but.
Grewks Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 We did play it. And look what happened! yes but to be fair, we usually play the most recent positive result we got against our opponents on the screen before kick-off. Just like we will play the 3-0 against watford earlier in the season, it is something we always do.
Grewks Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 With all due respect, it probably has. As a neutral, and for the game in general, that 20 seconds was bonkers and will forever be remembered by all. Made even more mental by the fact it basically happened with Brentford a week (?) before? Well...maybe if you lot forgot about it, you may have been able to produce a season similar to that of us and brentford, instead of settling for a 'historic last minute winner' which historically won you.......erm......nothing.
Eddy Kellys Heroes Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Elton John is a fudge packer! Ah feel better now!
lcfc1994 Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I wouldn't have been on the pitch because: We wouldn't have won anything. Getting to Wembley isn't worthy of a pitch invasion IMO. It's not our ground.
Langston Posted 5 February 2014 Posted 5 February 2014 I don't think anybody can legitimately say what they'd do had the shoe been on the other foot and we'd have won in such dramatic circumstances because that kind of almost instantaneous heartbreak-to-euphoria type scenario has never presented itself to us. It's all in the past now anyway, we're dicking it - they aren't. That's recompense enough for their fans practically stalking Knockaert for me, made even sweeter by the fact that he clearly ****ing loves it. Also, I think Bert has it right, I remember them showing various goals we'd bagged against Forest when we lost to them pre-Crimbo, of which Knockaert's was definitely one.
