Why can't you discuss this with your own fans? Why come on here and taunt poor fellows?
Hi Joe - happy to reply. Are we overly-sensitive? Maybe. I suppose it could be because in the past few weeks we've had a whole range of stuff thrown our way - not normal football stuff - trying to explain why we're done well. Drugs, secret referees cartels (believe me, Blue Moon has an entire thread on it), financial doping. And it gets a bit wearing.
Wasn't meaning to taunt - I'll get my coat.
See ya!
It's just the stuff you get when you're in the spotlight. Every team at the top gets it. You've just got to deal with it without whining (not saying you are) but plenty of your fans are. Look, everyone in the football world wants you to win the league, but for many of your fans that isn't enough. I really don't understand it at all. Why do you want to be loved so much? You have our respect, and that's enough for anyone surely?
For what other reason would you be on here? Simply to shoot the shit about our respective chances for the title? After the shit we've had on here, and on the laughable FoxesTalk, it's going to be a bit difficult. I do get it though - you're a decent Leicester fan who only wants to take some heat out of the situation and give a reasoned, rational argument. There's no reason to collect your coat.
Actually, I said it wasn't a penalty and that we were gifted the penalty at the time.
I struggle to think of any others...

They certainly feel you've had more 'dodgy decisions' go your way than we have - but I don't even think it's down to the referees, I think it's down to your improbably low goals conceded to chances conceded rate.
He looks like he is eyeing off my little sister!
Morning Joe
Yep, that's about the strength of it. I can't speak for any other foxes fans, only myself and the ones I know. Shooting the shit about our respective chances for the title puts it better than I have. I love football, consequently I have no problem with Spurs - it's indisputably a great side. In fact, if we do go on to win it, it will be even sweeter knowing that we had a real challenge! Obviously I'll defend the team I'm wedded to, but hopefully not blindly or stupidly. I hate that dick-swinging crap. But equally I don't want to be the away fan who borrowed his mates ST and makes everyone around him in the home section uncomfortable by being nice. Nothing worse. It's your forum, I wasn't invited in.
You're quite welcome as far as I'm concerned.

Hi Mr Duke
It could well be. My worry about the West Ham game is that we defend very narrowly - full-backs tucking in to invite crosses as we're confident that Huth/Wes will deal with them and they do. But of course they possess the only 9 in the league who on his day is almost unbeatable in the air. Yes, he's a donkey in every other respect, but as a header of the ball he's fantastic. They also have the players to get it to land on that ridiculous hair. So I could see us dropping points at the weekend.
Cheers for that.
Sorry if I've sounded harsh, but we've had a problem with some of your fans on here and it's made me a bit wary. No problem with you though.
It's fine mate, I get it. People approach things in different ways, particularly over the internet. Happens on every forum, to every club, I guess.
This is a huge game for you. Win it and I think that's that, but should you drop points there will be a lot of nervy fans, and that can affect the players in your remaining home games. Of course we need to keep winning. I notice many Leicester fans are saying 'we've only lost three games all season, we're not going to lose 2 or 3 on the run in', but getting over that line is very difficult, as Liverpool fans will admit. (Well maybe not Liverpool fans but you catch my drift).
Shudder at the thought of Ol' Gibbsy rustling his seed bag. :carrollwtf:
