LanguedocFox Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 Kisnorbo was one of our better players when he was moved to CB. Him and McAuley actually performed somewhat decently considering how shite the rest of the team were. We had some abomination of footballers during that time. Jarrett, Sylla, Low, Elvis, Andy Johnson, Kenton, Geoff Horsefield, Shaun Newton, Stephen Hughes. The good old days when we were getting dicked by Plymouth Argyle for fun. I reckon that if Kisnorbo hadn't been injured we wouldn't have gone down to Division Three. Obviously never know, but he was good for us - one of the very few at that time.

Koke Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 (edited) Can't believe he was happy to have his shameful story published. What an arsehole "I didn't think about supporting my own city because we wanted to watch the bigger players and it was all about winning matches." I'd rank him somewhere between dog excrement and Robert Mugabe What a belter of a quote that is "I can confirm that as of today I am a proud Leicester City supporter because I'm a winner and I want to win. Leicester City are a club that fits my winning mentality. I want to thank Liverpool FC for all the memories."

The Doctor Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 On a similar note I had my first person trying to make out I'm a glory hunter down the pub last night, even had the cheek to suggest I was talking bollocks when I told him that I always thought Claudio was the best choice considering who we were being seriously linked with. Made my day tbh, enjoy the fairweather accusations while people still want to make them. Preki, Neil Lennon and Steve Cotterill... did anyone seriously think Ranieri wasn't the best option?

Obviously never know, but he was good for us - one of the very few at that time. Our defensive record was actually phenomenal. It was the 2nd best in the league. We had a better defensive record than both West Brom and Stoke and they got promoted automatically. Stearman and McAuley proved they were good players as they ended up in the Premier League soon after. We just couldn't score for shit. Iain Hume was our only goal threat and we had zero creativity in midfield, just a bunch of cloggers and donkeys who ran around. We went down with a goal difference of -3.

ealingfox Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 I always thank my lucky stars I was too young to properly realise how doggo we were 2004-2008. In my youthful innocence used to turn up thinking Stephen Hughes, Momo Sylla and the like were decent players and that Chris O'Grady could be the next big thing. Unfortunately by the time we went down I was nearly 17 and painfully aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuneatonfox in Manchester Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 Kisnorbo was our best defender at the time, can't believe he was brought in as a midfielder though, McCarthy on the other hand was a liability! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritwalker Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 Pretty much every one of these people who are struggling to get tickets now claim they were there in League 1. Surely, they can't all have been there otherwise we would have sold out every week. It reminds me of the stat that 98% of Man U fans have never been to Old Trafford but every single one you meet claims he is part of the 2%. If you are referring to me as one of those people struggling to get tickets then I can assure you thatI didn't attend every game in League1, I went to half the home games just like I have since the late 80's. While I appreciate that to grow the club we need to attract new fans, that should not stop me from questioning/grumbling about the moral fibre of those who will only support a team that is successful and how some of these new fans are getting tickets in front of me despite me being a longstanding member.

The glory days of five right backs and five strikers on the pitch.

Happy Fox Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 If you didn't know Darren Kenton, Jason Jarrett or Elvis Hammond used to play for Leicester then you are plastic. How could u forget Bruno N'Gotty? Your a disgrace lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr The Singh Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 Go to post 16172 on here Doc and read it .... Ash Patel : A man who people on FT are pretty p*ssed off about. But I've got a feeling there are a lot of Ash Patels out there. Shame Tigers didn't win the cup or he might have been a rugby fan. I hate the Ash Patels of the world but love the Harinder Singh's of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEGGSY Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 Had a season ticket and Started going regularly with my grandparents and Ashley off of here when I was 7 in 2003 up until about 2010 then started going with friends from there had a season ticket since. Just got engrossed by the whole experience and just love going. I'm 20 now and about to witness something I never thought would happen especially when we had Elvis Hammond and Josh Low on the team sheet. Countless managers and whatever else.

Koke Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 I understand it's frustrating that a lot of people now jump on the success but it was bound to happen. I went to away games regularly when we were shocking, until I moved out of the city and got married. I wish I could tickets but it's practically impossible. Let's look at it differently, hopefully our success and next season CL football will get plenty of people hooked and their kids will hang around when we become mediocre again. How else are we supposed to grow our fan base? Ash Patel and Nicole Butler might be irritating but fingers crossed their kids will get hooked on Leicester and we got them for life.

EGBFitness Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 Didn't know where to post this and thought making a new thread would be pointless. Was walking around Miami yesterday, Art Deco, south beach, art district etc with my Leicester shirt on, lost count how many times someone shouted to either congratulate me or to wish us luck for tomorrow. Seems like we are really becoming well known know and even everybody in the US is behind us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 had a couple of times where I'm driving and drivers behind me see the scarf in the back of the car and give a thumbs up or a fist-pump . Any other season and I/we get laughed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacnah Posted 2 May 2016 Share Posted 2 May 2016 On an emotional level, no matter how much cash they part with or Twitter statuses they post, will a title win feel as good for them as it will for those that were there when it was bad? Of course not. They can't buy that. great post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
