Séamus Coleman cost 60 grand and apart from the golden boot, the Premier League scoring record, The Fa Cup, The Premier League title, a top 10 finish in the ballon d’or they pretty much had identical careers

We’re mentioned. 

Such a weird article.

Basically says it's sad non big 6 clubs don't win more things.

But when it does happen it should be enjoyed and that it's never a "shift in power" to other clubs.

… with zero acknowledgement of the fact the Premier League and it’s “big” clubs hold the power and punish clubs who win things organically.

Or the fact pundits such as him push the big 6 narrative continuously.

 

We see so much "if only" from pundits with no acknowledgement that the situation can't or won't change

Jason Cundy destroys Leicester fan live on talkSPORT after 'ridiculous' Leeds United claim

 

Jason Cundy fumed at a Leicester City fan live on talkSPORT after he claimed he would rather be in Leeds’ position than Leicester’s despite their 11-point gap at the top of the Championship.

Leicester extended their lead at the top of the Championship after a win at Watford on 10 February, but the fan claimed to be bored of the football they play under Enzo Maresca.

He claimed he would rather be in Leeds’ position because, under the management of Daniel Farke, they play entertaining football despite a gap between the two teams.

Cundy was outraged live on talkSPORT [10 February, 19:10] as he questioned: “You’d rather be Leeds right now? You’d rather be third?” the fan then replied: “It’s good football,” as Cundy continued to question.

The Leicester fan then attempted to explain: “I know it sounds daft but…” before Cundy cut him off: “No no, not daft, it’s utterly ridiculous. Not daft.”

After the call was ended, Cundy questioned: “Leeds United? He’d rather be Leeds United than Leicester right now?” and Dean Saunders replied: “It’s a windup. They’ve only let 24 goals in all season and scored 66.”

Leeds United fans would happily swap places

At the end of the day, ask any Leeds fan whether they would rather play pretty football or be 11 points clear at the top of the Championship, almost guaranteed to win the league and get back into the Premier League, and nine out of ten fans would tell you the latter.

As it stands at Elland Road they sit in third, just one point behind Southampton albeit the Saints have a game in hand. There is no guarantee of promotion, particularly given the run of form Russell Martin’s side have put together.

Promotion straight back to the Premier League at the first time of asking is the ultimate goal for all three clubs that were relegated at the end of last season, so to suggest you’d rather be unsure about that chance with the possibility of the playoffs than flying at the top is ludicrous.

Leeds United fans will be nervous about the promotion race

The promotion race this year is likely to be exciting for everybody but Leicester. Foxes fans can essentially put their feet up and cruise to the end of the season, while Leeds, Southampton and Ipswich fans will be constantly sweating over their position.

With the threat of the notoriously unpredictable playoffs a very real possibility at Elland Road, that security is something fans will be longing for, not willing to throw away in exchange for “good football”.

talkSPORT love putting these nutters on exactly so they can shout them down and tell them how ridiculous they are. The more controversial and ridiculous the call, the better for them. They get the initial engagement, then the clips on Twitter, then the article like this.

 

The unfortunate side effect is that the lunatic voices get more coverage. When you have thousands singing 'playing football the Enzo way' vs the odd person shouting 'gerrit forward' or fringe weirdos with opinions like the one in this article, you know that most of the fans are on board, but the fact the minority and, frankly, strange opinions get more coverage make it seem as though they're actually the prevailing thoughts of the fans.

 

I like a lot of talkSPORT's more thoughtful coverage but unfortunately this is their phone-in's MO.

Suspect it wasn’t a city fan at all. More likely a Leeds fan. Although insanity is also a possible explanation - in both cases. 

I've seen plenty of utter "gErRiT fOrWArd" and "bORinG" morons on City-related Facebook pages, who have been members of the pages for years. Which suggests we do have some proper weirdos amongst us. Quite a few of them are elderly men and women. 

 

I still hope the call was a Leeds fan on the windup, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it was genuine.

Yeah did find that recently. 

But with the athletic you have enough accounts on twitter etc who post the important segments of any LCFC article 

I would absolutely not recommend archive.is for this and it absolutely is not as easy as copy and pasting the URL on the second search bar down once you're there.

I heard it 

definitely was a city fan (18 y o kid) 

 

sounded very dumb though and his mate who also spoke sounded like he’d just sniffed something 

 

I suppose if you’re high as a kite then you probably wouldn’t enjoy a controlled tactical performance

Probably thicker than an Hovis loaf or a bigger WUM than a politician in an election year.
