You sound like you're trying too hard to demonstrate you're a hard-core fan who doesn't care about CL. 

Not true. I do care. But I have been around for almost sixty years and for most of that time City have not come close to being as good as they are now.Maybe i am just easier to please.

It has to be put into context, just like last season. 
If we were being asked what would we be happy with at the START of the season, of course 5th place and FA cup would be amazing!

But like last term, we were SO comfortable in the CL spot, to go and blow it again would be a bitter pill to swallow

That’s how I see it. 

Agree. If we were like West Ham, a team not in the top 4, but could've made it with a good end of season, I wouldn't be too bothered about missing CL football. But our position is the complete opposite. We've been so comfortable in the top 4, it's almost harder to miss out then stay in. Yet 2 seasons in a row, we could miss out.

second best season we have had

We're 2nd in the Top Bottlers league 😢

Further to my original post;:An honoury mention to Kasper (apart from a good season) got Wes to hold FA Cup with him, and, moreover. collecting Top so he could lift Cup and celebrate with the players..

 

Season regret (apart from lockdowm violation by the individuals before W Ham game)  ]tt does seem quite sad/disappointing Christian Fuchs leaves without proper recognition of his contribution over the past 6 years. He has been an amazing professional and I bet he has helped Thomas (and others) improve.

Spot on. If we were chasing PL and just missed out it puts into in a completely different context.

However, it’s not over. We can still do it

Second best ever season blah blah. 

[Brooksy]

Still been a great season. We won the FA cup ffs

[Jattdogg]

Won a cup, got europa im happy.

 

We did choke back to back on champs league you cant deny that but i am still happy.

[honeybradger]

We're not a CL team, just happy we won the FA cup 

[Bazly]

Four points from the run in last five games says the wheels really fell off the handcart. Fortunately we won a game that counted in May. Otherwise a dog shit finish to the season where we were generally playing pretty awful football.

[lgfualol]

The way we came 5th is a bit annoying but taking everything into account, 5th and fa cup is phenomenal. 

 

Some more quality into this squad and keep our best players and maybe we can do better next season.

[spacemunky]

Fantastic season lads! 

 

[Big Blue Maff]

I can’t help but think of the points we’ve dropped, missed penalty away at palace , Fulham at home , I’m gutted , gutted for Brendan & the lads , Europa again , just hope & pray this team stays together 

[Vazman]

So near, so close, twice in a row, FA Cup was great to be had though, and is so great for us.  I'm not sure we will have had a better oppurtunity than this season for a top 4 finish; I hope we progress, surely we can't keep staying in the top 5, as long as we have, and lose it in the last week of the season again. Overall I'm pleased and Gutted at the same time, but its life as a Foxes fan. I hope lessons have been learnt by players and manager as we go again next season, come on you Foxes I'm off to shout at something!

[Guest Kopfkino]

An FA Cup and 5th place is a superb season. Really disappointing to fluff it again but the games and injuries caught up with us and we ran out of puff, we just don’t have enough depth to cope with it. Case in point, having Amartey or Morgan as the options to replace Fofana today.

[darko2k7]

Think the lack of a plan B in the end did us . Losing Barnes made us alittle one dimensional. Really disappointed with Chelsea result going our way finding it hard to see the bigger picture atm and and see that it's still been a really good season. 

[LVFox]

Great season, 2nd best in the clubs entire history. Take the injuries into account and it’s really a great job to last in top 4 as long as we did. This season has shown a top 6 finish last year was no fluke. Add some more depth to the squad and we can really cement ourselves in there, which for Leicester is absolutely incredible.

 

“Fans” calling us bottlers and having a go in any way shape or form really need to give there heads a wobble and re-evaluate the club they support. We are Leicester City and we are hugely over performing right now.

 

I’m so proud of us for doing that.

[bfox]

In perspective, it's a great season. I think we lucked out towards the end, and probably finished where we deserved to - we rarely looked convincing towards the end, a lot less than commentators give us credit for. Quite a few worrying things, home losses to shit sides, ability to bottle it in 90% of big games, more individual mistakes than normal, lot's of games where we barely get a shot on target. G'day

[ScrumpyJack]

Great success!

 

Frustratingly the footballing gods were against us with injuries. We barely kept a consistent team. Despite this, we played good football for 3/4 of the season. 
 

Hopefully with a changing of the guard a few ‘finished article’ players are signed over the summer in key positions.

 

Proud of the lads, the club and the fans.

[baldeagle]

****ing awesome season . Not getting Champions League is disappointing of course but the reality is if we’d got it our squad isn’t strong enough anyway . Oh and we one the ****ing FA Cuo

Our first choice starting team is top 4 quality no doubt.  The squad is top 8 and improving.

 

Europa League is our level right now.

[Tuna]

5th and winning the FA Cup for the first time is an absolutely incredible season.

 

Doesn't make the way we ended up out of the champions league places any less disappointing.

 

Injuries have ravaged us and we did not have the squad depth to cope with it.

 

 

[Jon the Hat]

Deep breath.  Amazing season overall.  So unlucky with injuries, but on balance a normal season might not have given us the chances we had.

we’ve shown we have some great talent, but lack the depth of a team in the top 4.
