I once drove through Leicester and I don't give a toss either way.

I live in Leicester, pass the stadium every other day and cant stand them. Horrible club, even worse City!
Amazed by all the positive comments about them. Whilst Town went into free fall after the ITV thing, they had a lot of debt written off. They should have dropped a couple of leagues similar to Leeds? / Luton. If you were to dislike any club it should be them.
It wasn't long ago that they were struggling to get 15k to games - the city is 10times the size of Grimsby. Kids were walking around with Chelsea tops on all over. You can half expect it with us but Leicester. As soon as they won promotion you wouldn't have been able to get a season ticket let alone a ticket
When Vardy was signed he was excrement according to their fans. Now he's one of their own.
I really cant stand em - hope Spurs or Arsenal beat them. That said, I love Ranieri. Shame Chelsea didn't keep him


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

I totally get what you are saying but how long do you hold a grudge against them? Is the hierarchy still there that made that decision and if it was done within the rules, then it is the rules that are wrong. The points deduction punishment was implemented as a result of Leicester getting promoted to the Prem while in admin as a result of the complaints received from other clubs after the event. Although it may leave a bad taste in the mouth, they must have operated within the rules of the league. Where did playing fair get us?

I'll be holding a grudge till my death, at the very least!
I'd like Spurs to win it

I can see how some would like Leicester to ruffle the feathers of the big boys but those people have short memories.

Leicester / Pompey and others owed us money and didn't pay, I can never wish anyone good luck who has done us wrong.

We were one of the smallest clubs in the then Championship and the financial burden on us could have been eased if those clubs had honoured those payments.  They basically flicked the V's at us instead of paying what we were due.

We honoured our debts.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

I have no recollection of this. Not saying you are wrong but why did they and others owe us money? I never used to take notice of anything other than the football, so don't really recall anything about finances from the time. Not so much a short memory as no memory.

Leicester have kept the same starting eleven for their last 5 matches.  Not sure what this says but they have not done too bad have they?

£100k Parachute payments when Portsmouth, Leicester and Wolves got promoted to the Prem whilst Town, Wednesday and Brighton were relegated to what is now League 1 (old money league 3).

As far as I can remember none of them have paid up, I will hold my hands up if proven wrong.

Maybe they've stumbled upon a tactic hitherto undiscovered of sticking to the same team.

As to whether we should hate them I am sure some people keep mental grudge lists alongside dozens of clubs to reel out as injustices committed against us in the distant past. Anything to avoid praising or even vaguely liking another side.

Personally I think the Premier League has been fantastic this season and a huge change over weekends of Super Sundays comprising endless matches between the same old sides.
