I get they're playing today and their 'real' celebrations will be at the game but you'd have imagined they'd (the fans) have been partying last night around the stadium. True, they always seem pretty unpassionate bunch though. Most fans in England seem to be that way. I think for most its just 'entertainment'. Just now, UniFox21 said: Tbf to them their big one will be against Inter, that's what they'll be looking towards rather than the league. Yep, guess when you've been spoilt the fans dont even get that excited about winning the league again.....didn't stop the celtic fans though.

Ah, the competition they boo and had a part in trying to end yet so desperate to win. Bizarre relationship that club has with that competition.

Ritchie Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 12 hours ago, Paninistickers said: 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 Totally agree. I grew up in Leicester, left 30-years ago and lived in various parts of the country since. There is a self-degrading culture in Leic which doesn’t exist in other parts that have far less to offer. I happily tell people I’m from Leic, home of the greatest sporting story of all time C’mon LCFC, don’t believe the doubters. 8-days to go… BELIEVE!!

This sounds ridiculous but I think he's got a bigger influence on this sort of thing than people realise - you spread the narrative that imploding like this is acceptable then by extension it sort of becomes true. It takes the pressure off people that should be feeling it. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. He's also having digs about them sacking Rodgers. I'd find it mental if a Spurs / Liverpool media commentator came out with that rubbish given the abundantly clear evidence he needed to go, let alone a Leicester fan. That's despite ignoring the fact Villa / Wolves sacked managers and it paid off too. Couldn't wait to ride Forest either. Twat. Of course he has influence and people listen to what he says. You are now going to hear so much ill informed crap about Rodgers going now Cooper has stayed up despite there being huge differences in their approach, manner, connection with the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh absolutely. Every pundit going will roll out the: "We didn't back Rogers enough" "He should have been given time", whilst having 0 idea of what's happening at the club. They won't look at the wage bill, the FFP implications, Covid and fundamentally the break down in our style of play. They won't see the 2x failures to gain CL football, because we're "little old Leicester". And whilst it is true we didn't back him in the summer window, it'll be ignored the amount we had spent and continue to spend on wages. Fundamentally, it needs to be highlighted that he let the squad get complacent, and the board let him get complacent.

As tempting as that is, they'd probably go straight back up, and I think Southampton have a good chance of doing so as well. I'd rather go down with Leeds.

I feel your pain, exactly the same boat. Waking up to videos from the stands and messages mocking me. The annoying thing is, I’ve not given any of them any grief since they came up (even before a ball was kicked) They only hate Derby though…..

F T Fagos Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 Now that the red sh1t are staying up, I don't really care who goes down with us. I've been resigned to relegation for weeks now, and yet a little part of me is still hoping for a miracle. Is there still time to fly the monks in before Monday night?

whoareyaaa Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 (edited) Cooper stated yesterday after the game that the possession based style is not working now days and goes for a more aggressive, fast paced style.. another nail in our coffin as we have been playing possession based football all season.

copunk Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 I will be honest since the Fulham game (I accepted relegation well before that) I haven't kept an eye on other games around us whilst they are being played, and it's been quite refreshing I get why folk will hang on and watch the games of Everton, Leeds and Forest (not so much now after last night) and hope they slip up, but absolutely nothing that we have offered this season has given me any hope we can capitalise on other teams mistakes, they have all stepped up when it mattered, we have gone back into our shells and cowered like wounded animals The players can post positivity on their Instagram accounts all they want, but it's so hollow and pointless, if they wanted to drag us out of the situation we are in, they would have fully commited and started playing like it months ago Had someone try to banter me last week about us getting relegated soon, to which I replied there is no way anyone can banter me at all, it's been a slow death since after the world cup, it's what we have all been expecting for a long time, so when it inevitably happens, for me personally it will be quite a relief from what's been a complete waste of time season I have even came to the realisation that we may not come back up for a while, I'm cool with that, as long as we attempt to play decent football and not go on runs where we win 1 game in 15, I will be quite contempt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like the PL has lost control and hoping these issues just go away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
