Leicester City Football Club

[rbm]

I'll enjoy playing them in next August's Community Shield.

 

[JAYTALITY]

Sorry. My bitterness lives on.

Don't forget your stubbornness.

Winning the second division then the first division on successive seasons?!

Think I'd disagree to be honest.

didn't Nottingham Forest do something similar?...and win the European Cup

Uhmm, lets not forget Everton, who did exactly that. 1929-30 we finished last and relegated. 1930-31 we finished 2nd Division champions, then in 1931-32 1st Division champions.

*Edit.....bugger....someone already covered it. Ahh well..........

 

[Dylan]

lol you just can't take banter back at you can ya

We shouldn't have to because this is an Everton forum Jesus Christ...

This is the World Football forum. Plus, Grand Old Team has always been welcoming and accommodating of other clubs fans who come on here to actually have a bit of banter and talk shop, and not just wind everyone up.

...good point. I forgot about the Community Shield. Probably because I am not particularly optimistic about being in it.

 

[LeicesterInPeace]

Nah they were in the crowd today.

Ignore me though. I'm just jealous.

Yeh apologies mate I've just seen some photos. ThaT is a bit embarassing

One more win and you'll be there in my opinion.

Every Leicester fan I've met has been brilliant about it.

As a battered Evertonian, it gives me real hope going forward.

Well in, lids.

How so? And that's not a loaded question. Just wondering.

 

[The Cowboy]

Imagine we were top of the league. Bloody hell, I'd have seven Champions scarves. Give the lids a break, they're enjoying themselves.

At least they can crudely write 'League Qualification' beneath it in Tippex if they fall short of the PL title.

You know how do. We were discussing it the other day (RMs 'I'll give you Champions League', remember?)

Well, if we fill our players with performance enhancing drugs then we should be up there too.

Haha! The most honest answer yet!

I know you've said you had disagreed with this in the past, but Leicester winning the Premier League shows the monopoly can be broken.

Apart from Blackburn back in 1994 (and even they had money to be fair), it's been almost predictable who'll challenge for the top four.

If you had money then you'd win the league: simple, Now we've got hard-working and youthful squads really mixing up the status quo.

Yes it's disheartening that it's not Everton taking advantage of this season, however it shows that with a good manager we could challenge.

It's also nice to see the likes of Arsenal, Manure, Citeth and Chelski eventually being fallible. Probably won't continue next year but let's hope...

I think the fact we were also 1st division champions in 1927-28 makes that less impressive and more embarassing.

It's less a team coming from nowhere to win the title and more a really good team somehow managing to come last despite having dixie bloody dean up front.
