If anything I think we've earned the right to say us going down wouldnt be far off Everton going down in terms of overall stature especially when considering recent achievements. Everton have been circling the drain for years, similar to Villa when they went down in 15/16 The only relegation similar on a scale to ours is probably Leeds when they dropped in 2004, though they had financial meltdown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from obviously both being PL champions, Blackburn had only a couple seasons of midtable and finished top 6 a lot. The season before Leeds went down in 2004, they just stayed up. Compared to Blackburn who didn't have a season of fighting relegation just like us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very Leicester trait. The self deprecating, woe is me, kinda personality. The amount of people I've met in my life, males, females,.old, young who bookend an intro with 'I'm from Leicester,.it's shit' ....many of our supporters project this loser mentality 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They had just lost to Everton, drew with Brentford and needed last minute goals to beat Villa (who were bottom half) and Bournemouth in games around ours. There was a chance to give them a challenge and we didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_favourite Posted 20 May 2023 Share Posted 20 May 2023 After the West Ham game, let's retire this thread as a reminder that one day it will reopen on our return. 9 years of joy, ground breaking achievements, records broken, the impossible achieve over and over again but it all ends in a whimper. We shall never be forgotten. The years of the fox has come to an end. We are as good as gone.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s some weird solace to be found in another established PL club going down. Softens the blow a bit. Yeah it's called schadenfreude l believe...softens the blow about 1% for me, but not the realisation that we are far and away the most badly run club in the prem and possibly all 4 leagues! Our clueless owner is like the lottery winner who p!ssed and gambled away a fortune and is now on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a chance to give them a challenge and we didn't. They were top of the league. They had everything to play for. Saka's form hadn't yet fallen off a cliff. Ramsdale wasn't making howlers. Even Xhaka was playing decently, and, I think most importantly for Arsenal, Saliba hadn't yet been injured. I can't agree that Everton getting one of their freak results and Brentford who were ticking nicely, taking points off Arsenal, and Villa running them close, negates my point. I'm not suggesting our poor timing in facing Arsenal has relegated us - far from it, we've been gash most of the season, but I maintain that we faced a far tougher prospect in our home game against Arsenal than Notts Forest did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is complete horseshit. Leicester being relegated was miles away from being inevitable or expected. It’s down to club mismanagement at a huge level. Right across the board.

Similar clubs such as Southampton, Stoke and West Brom have had good runs but it always comes to an end. It only leaves Palace and they can’t keep relying on Hodgson.

fox_up_north Posted 20 May 2023 Share Posted 20 May 2023 I'm just trying to think, has every club outside of Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal and Man United been relegated in the last 30+ years? I'd be interested to know the average tenure of clubs. Newcastle and Villa must surely have the longest time served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never met the guy but I know a few that have, and all say he's an arse. There doesn't seem to be much genuine about him. It's disappointing as he was obviously a hero of mine growing up, well after Larry May and Alan Young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
