Hoping for a Leicester win,but they’ve got that horrible chant that’s like Crystal Palace’s ,hope we don’t adopt it.

And they have a drum and those clappy things!

I’ve never liked going to Leicester since they won the league and got above themselves. And those horrible happy clappy things too.

I've never gotten over that 4 nil in 2011. I can't hear Fire by Kasabian without thinking about Jensen's 'perfomance' that day

1-0 Liverpool

Leicester and Leeds down would be nice

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon May 15, 2023 8:38 pm

Leicester’s master plan to play a centre back who can barely move doesn’t look to be paying off.

Eagles missed a big chance early at 0-0 and then ……..

Look like they have no fight in them Leicester. Reminds me of some matches when we had Laws in charge.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon May 15, 2023 8:40 pm

2 shots, 2 goals, I think.
Jones is becoming a top player and not just because he’s bagged two.

PremierLeagueClass · Post by **PremierLeagueClass** » Mon May 15, 2023 8:41 pm

The second goal looked offside by a country mile.

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Mon May 15, 2023 8:41 pm

That 2nd goal looked offside

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon May 15, 2023 8:41 pm

Leicester fans booing their team when they nearly conceded a third.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Mon May 15, 2023 8:41 pm

Could get embarrassing for Leicester. Looks like one from Leeds, Everton and Forest to join Southampton and Leicester.

Looks as if King’s Power needs renaming to…….
Suggestions please

Evans’ foot looked to be playing him well on to me.

My first thought was offside but you’re right, it’s Evans playing him on.

Leicester players and crowd haven't woken up to the fact that they are realistically about 45 minutes from relegation

Absolutely shocking

Dean Smith is basically as sh1t as managing as Frank Lampard.

I think Frank would be happy with that.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Mon May 15, 2023 9:19 pm

Surprised at the booing and general lack of patience from the Leicester fans. They’re **** and playing Liverpool, what were they expecting?

They won the league in a freak season where their squad played out of its skin and the usual challengers all had off seasons/managerial issues. I’m not downplaying the achievement, it was absolutely unbelievable but there were circumstances to it. I find it baffling the change in entitlement since that freak season that the fans have undergone. They’re slowly making their way back to being what they’ve been pretty much all of my life (barring that 3/4 years under O’Neil and then the 3/4 years under Ranieri/Rogers) - a yo yo club with similar ambitions to ourselves.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon May 15, 2023 9:22 pm

The booing is ridiculous. You have to wonder what planet they are on. They’ve overachieved for a few years and the expectation level has gone through the roof.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Mon May 15, 2023 9:29 pm

Absolutely stunning free kick from TAA.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon May 15, 2023 9:30 pm

Hell of a strike, 3-0

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Mon May 15, 2023 9:31 pm

Stunning FK.

Whitgord · Post by **Whitgord** » Mon May 15, 2023 9:32 pm

The free kick was just a short pass, then TAA scored a curler from that pass.

What odds Liverpool sneak a top four place at the expense of Newcastle?

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Mon May 15, 2023 9:34 pm

I can't stand Leicester but I do appreciate how the owners have refused to throw good money after bad.
It just shows you what happens when the money runs out.

Carwin261 · Post by **Carwin261** » Mon May 15, 2023 9:35 pm

Wanted Everton,and Dirty Leeds to go down,but it looks like Saints ,Foxes,and possibly Florist,one good thing Weasel faced Vardy ,and his horrible wife won’t be smiling.

Tbf they had a brilliant squad when they won the league, a group of players who all peaked in the same season. Slowly got dismantled and replaced with squad fillers and aging players. There's only one way they could go , hastened by the owners lack of cash.
Just gone through the motions this season.

And they won the FA Cup a few seasons later.

Similarities with our friends down the road for Leicester? Main benefactor dies, club gets passed down to family who aren't really interested.

I feel that us swapping places with Leicester is right and proper.

Nothing not to like.

They’ve no money to throw at it apparently. King Power took a huge hit through the pandemic.

They made their money via airports/duty free wasn't it?

The pandemic wiped out business for two years pretty much

Yep, duty free. Prior to this they’d been very generous owners and very much part of the community.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Mon May 15, 2023 10:01 pm

Leicester fans booing and showing pretty much zero support, Arsenal fans walking out yesterday despite a young side having an incredible season. No concept of what being a fan is, bunch of wankers

Or, if they have, Leicester are not the priority at the moment.
International air travel is, generally speaking, getting back towards pre pandemic levels.
It will be interesting to see when and if the considerable funds required to turn this mess around are found in the next few seasons.

I watched something about the owners the other night that suggested they have severe problems and are struggling (all things are relative) to keep all the balls in the air.
