The "do they mean us?" thread

Recommended Posts

Living in North Wales surrounded by Man Utd and Liverpool 'fans' I feel exactly the same. 

 

I just don't talk to anyone about it apart from my mates from Leicester. But I am constantly thinking about it! Right now at work I have Foxestalk on one tab and the Premier League table on an other and I am just flicking between the two. 

 

I work in Coventry and go through the same.  I'll get facebook book posts and stuff from my work mates.  Every Monday morning I get the same stuff said.  I've got a few Cov fans around me, a Geordie and a couple of Ukrainians who are well into their football, and each time something is said I just tell them I'm not even thinking about it.  But I do love that they get excited about it, even the Cov fans! One of the Ukrainian guys started to love Leicester that much that I even bought him a scarf that he took home and pinned up on his wall! 

 

It's impossible to portray how I actually feel.  Like you I talk to my fellow Leicester city friends, we have our own whatsapp group message just to ease the burden of it all, where we can talk about anything we want Leicester city related!

 

I tried, many years ago, to have a discussion with a Leicester based Man U fan.  I was saying to him how a cup win for us means so much more to us fans than it does to fans of Man U or Chelsea.  He wouldn't have any of it.  I told him that winning the league cup when we did meant as much to us as Man U fans felt about winning the league.  They can't understand the concept of not winning anything, ever!  They're expected to win things, they're expected to compete year on year.  To them a title challenge is the norm, to us it's a crazy situation that makes no sense.

 

And now that it's happening, I'm not sure I understand anything anymore

Not much we don't know. Just nice to hear lots of different opinions on how awesome we are.

The American guy is right. If we lose to Arsenal people are ready to pounce on us saying we're not up for the challenge. Are we not allowed to lose any games? We've conceded 2 goals in the lasf 7 games and lost none of them. Other people are setting such high standards for us that they don't even set for Arsenal or Man City.

We've the more to win and Arsenal have more to lose on Sunday.

 

There'd be eight points between us if we win and two from a loss, I would also have to be confident in the lads bouncing back as they had to earlier in the season after taking a whack from these.

 

 

Long way to go yet either ways tbf

Also that comment that got pulled up from back in September on the Stoke forum has been stuck in my head the whole week.

 

I know Stoke are basically 'Bet365 The Football Club', but theres no way this thing is fixed or whatever and this random on the Stoke forum knows about how our season goes months in advance. Must be wishing he stuck a quid on that now  :sweating:

Doubt it....

   

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35549359

 

"Derby County have not approached former Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson about succeeding Paul Clement as their new head coach, BBC Derby Sport reports."

 

 

 

Which probably means they are in talks with more than one Person and it would be embarrassing for the person they are planning on interviewing that day...

 

 

 

 

 

Or they might just not of spoken to him YET of course OR he was the one who approached them.,

 

 

 

 

It's a merky wolrd, football is....
