Overheard At The King Power

Can we go back to the pre-KPS days?

Remember this from circa 98 when I was a 16 year old sat in the double decker. In the row behind us was this old boy who must have been in his 70s and his grandson who must have been about 12. Anyway the old fella was one of those proper Lestoh types who like to communicate at maximum volume all the time. City had recently made a multi-million pound signing and he was pretty vocal about how much he was looking forward to seeing the new boy play.

(In an almost comically thick Leicester accent)

'I cant believe we've gorrim. Great little player.'

'Bit harsh in Guppeh tho'. But he is dead slow"

(Game starts)

"Oh, he is playing Guppy an'all and Impeh. Strange."

(approx 10 mins in)

"Why's he playin so deep? You ain't gonna get no decent crosses in from that far out son."

(approx 15 mins in)

"What is O'Neill doing? Why's he playing so deep? Get up the field lad!"

(approx 25 mins in. He's proper vexed now)

"What you doing O'Neill you bloody mick? Buy a new player and play him totalleh out of position.

(30 mins in)

"O'Neill you bloody Paddy. Who buys a £2 million forward and plays him at bloody full back?"

(Half the block are murmuring now and grandson, probably dying of embarrassment, must have whispered something to him at this point)

"He's a bloody forward. I saw him score a bloody great goal for England the other week."

(Cue more murmuring from the crowd and another quiet word from grandson)

"Yes Sinclair. That's what I said"

(Pause)

"That's not Trevor Sinclair then?"

(Pause)

"Who the bloody hell is FRANK Sinclair?"

Cue fits of laughter from about 100 people around us. Genuinely the funniest thing I've heard at the footy.

Hinckley, pre-season before the 12/13 campaign kicked off:

GUY 1 - Who's that blonde kid at right back? [referring to Ritchie DeLaet]

 

GUY 2 - Oh, him. We got him from United I think.

 

GUY 1 - What's he called?

 

GUY 2 - I think it's DeFryatt.

 

GUY 1 - Yeah, me too, you know - DeFryatt.

Back in the double decker days i remember one game when they gave 3 thousand tickets away to school kids in the top tier. About 5 minutes before the game started message came across the tannoy

" can the kids in the double decker please stop throwing boiled sweets down on to the away fans".

Whole ground cheered.

There were a couple of fans near me chanting "United reject" at Wilf Zaha.

 

I waited a few times until I just couldn't restrain myself from telling them that perhaps that wasn't the smartest thing to chant when a fair proportion of our squad are in fact "United rejects"

Too many to count over the years but from yesterday.....

'I tell you what, we could do with that Sol Samba back in defence'

Although the best I've ever heard was a bloke who genuinely thought Konchesky was the old Russia winger who used to play for Man U. How I have no idea.

lol the mispronunciations are great.

 

My old man also calls Konchesky = Kanchelskis

 

Wasilewski = Weslowski

 

My dearly departed grandad used to call Gunnlaugsson = Guthlaxton

in sk1 by any chance?

No SK4.

 

It doesn't surprise me that this wasn't an isolated case (if you were saying that this was in SK1 as well). It seems many can't think before they chant.

 

Much like Manchester United fans who chant "You Scouse B*****d" at those from Liverpool when arguably their best player is indeed a scouser. I think irony is lost on a lot of fans  lol

Also what kind of insult is "United reject"?!

 

Oh no, you didn't make it at one of the best teams at the world so I'm going to take the piss out of you. It only works for "Leicester reject" 'cos we are crap. Some people amaze me when they chant such things.

I sit in sk4 and every game without fail I have a woman who brings someone different pretty much every game who has to explain who each and every player is to her new guest .

And then just a couple of rows back who insists on telling the linesman to shove his flag firmly up his ass quite comical

And then there is the iPad person who records every corner,throw in , free kick by the home or away side
