The Official "Leicester City To Look Like They Are World Beaters Only To Mess It Up And Finish In Mid Table" Thread

[Shot 21 LCFC]

First topic message reminder :

Everyone else seems to be doing one so I thought I would get one started up for Leicester City. Although Im fairly sure Im the only Foxes fan on this board so this could end up being a soliluquay (not sure how you spell that).

Obviously Leicester will probably have a good start, be top of the table at some point and everyone will say "this is our year", then we will mess it all up and finsh somewhere in between 7th and 12th place. But I will still enjoy it and still be a loyal Foxes fan going to most games. I particularly look forward to beating the scumbags known as Nottingham Forest and Derby County.

It looks like we will now have a director of football. Terry Robinson has joined us from Stoke. Also we have a prestiege home friendly with Monaco. Falcao is comin to the King Power Stadium.

Anyway I look forward to updating you on all the Leicester news, taking stick from the supporters of Brighton (Nick), Forest (GSC) and all the other teams, and being over the moon when we win, and suicidal when we lose.

Barnsley away tonight. Im hoping we get a win, but they beat Forest at the weekend so they will be high on confidence.

[Shot 21 LCFC]

Third succesive 3-0 win. Jamie Vardy makes it 11 in 7 and 4 in his last 3 if I have my facts correct.

[NickisBHAFC]

Accept it, you're playing Premiership football next season!

[Shot 21 LCFC]

No!!! We will mess up in the league, finish 3rd and then lose in the play off final to a last minute own goal.

We wont go up   ...

[Shot 21 LCFC]

Working on the assupmtion that QPR win every remaining game of the season (which is unlikely), we need 6 more wins to guarantee automatic promotion.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

All but there now Shot

[Shot 21 LCFC]

Thanks to Sheffield Wednesday beating QPR that now makes it 5 wins needed.

[Shot 21 LCFC]

Went down to the Yeovil game last night. For 90 odd minutes it was looking like I had wasted my money. They scored from a needless free kick and we were absolutely battering them without a cutting edge. I had resigned myself to a rare defeat, but then who pops up with a last minute equaliser? Only our goalkeeper Kasper f*cking Schmeichel!!!! I was near that goal and it crossed the line but I dont think the idiot officials were gonna give it so thank f*ck Chris Wood followed it in, but for me the goal should be given to Schmeichel. Thats now 18 games unbeaten which broke the club record at second division level.

Burnley away on Saturday (1215 kick off on Sky Sports). What a massive game. If we lose, then all of a sudden the Championship title is in real jeapordy. A point will do I suppose.

9 games left, 4 wins needed. Surely we wont mess this up...

[Roller_Coaster]

So solid do you (and Burnley) look in the top two all I have left to hope for (as a QPR fan) is that you both field ineligible players on Saturday and get docked points.

Even then I'd bet we'd go and lose!

Yours clutching at straws-ly
The mighty hoops

OK - just "the hoops" then!

[Shot 21 LCFC]

I personally think either you or Wigan will win the play offs though. Especially if you get Charlie Austin back.

[westisbest]

Wigan or Derby to win the playy offs i think.

[Roller_Coaster]

I have Derby at the top of that list. Us & Wigan very close behind and then whoever.

Cue whoever storming through.

If Austin is back, he'll need a few games to get in the swing. Phillips has been a big miss too (ie the ex Blackpool one rather than Shaun Wright!)

Still, must keep the faith.

[westisbest]

Bournemouth are making a late charge for the play offs.

Think they will fall just short though sadly.

[westisbest]

Burnly Leicester is a massive game this weekend.
 
Should be a good game.
Fancy a draw.
 
Would have watched it, if it did'nt clash with the Man u Villa game, having said that may not be able to watch that either.

[Shot 21 LCFC]

I would settle for a draw, but if we win then that probably guarantees the Championship title so hopefully we can.

[Shot 21 LCFC]

What a performance. What a win. What a couple of fantastic goals. Burnley hadnt lost at home all season and were on a 16 game unbeaten streak. But we ended all of that and kept out unbeaten run going to 19. Surely were going up as champions. Surely...

[westisbest]

Should win it now, although you have Reading & QPR next, i think.
 
Couple of tough games.
 
Slip up there Burnley could catch you.
 
15 points clear of 3rd is it.
Safe to say you are up, 1st or 2nd.

[Shot 21 LCFC]

Good win over Sheffield Wednesday last night. We could be promoted today if Bournemouth beat QPR and Derby fail to beat Middlesbrough. Even if not, then victory over Brighton on Tuesday will do it.

[Fernando]

Congrats Shot  Boro & Bournemouth came through for you guys

[Guest]

Congratulations Shot   

Good luck for next season buddy.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Its taken the time, you finally had to be outspent by someone and not be the big disappointments any more!

[NickisBHAFC]

Congrats mate, enjoy the Premiership. Also good luck on Tuesday night, don't beat us by too much!

[Shot 21 LCFC]

Thanks all   

Looks like my thread title ended up being incorrect then. We have finally done it! After 10 long years Leicester City are back in the Premier League. Don't think it will fully sink in tbh until the fixture list comes out next season.

But before that we must now turn our attention to winning the league. We really do deserve to be champions.

[Roller_Coaster]

You do. Consistently the best side this year and taken the points in the crucial top of the tablers as well as disposing of the less favoured sides. Good luck next year and well done. Enjoy!

Only got a straw clutching left and hoping for a Burnley collapse (although unlikely as they've been good all year too) and an unlikely sneak into second. Or us scraping through the playoff lottery. Either way I hope the (not so) mighty QPARRGH make it with you but if not hopefully we can renew battle in the top flight in 15/16.

[NickisBHAFC]

Cheers for the 3 points lads!!!!!!

Sounds like we battered you tonight. 

Done the double over you this season now. Too easy

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I remember the game after we got promoted, at home against Coventry, Grant Holt was definitely still drunk

Seems the Leicester players occurred the same today

[NickisBHAFC]

Love it!!!!!

Suppose I will have to accept the meagre Premier League as a rubbish consolation prize. I hate football   

[Shot 21 LCFC]

Finished 1-1 against Reading which I thought it would. Suppose I will take the point. 6 points needed from 4 games to guarantee the title. We should do it. QPR at home on Saturday. Really dont fear them like I would have earlier in the season. They seem to have gone right off the boil.

[NickisBHAFC]

Why the bluddy hell didn't you beat Reading!!!

[Shot 21 LCFC]

We tried...

[NickisBHAFC]

Not hard enough.

[Shot 21 LCFC]

A good win over QPR now leaves us 3 points (or a Burnley defeat) away from winning the title.

[Shot 21 LCFC]

And there we have it. After a 1-0 win over Bolton we are deservedly crowned champions! Love it!!!!

I had faith all along that we would win the league. Believed it from the start   

[Shot 21 LCFC]

Kevin Phillips will be playing his last ever match against Doncaster tomorrow. What a legend!!

I have created a new thread in the PREMIER LEAGUE section. This is my last post here. Now that Leicester are in the PREMIER LEAGUE, it is only right I continue my discussions in the PREMIER LEAGUE section. Dont worry though, I will still pop into the Championship forum from time to time to see how everyone else is doing.

Feel free to lock this thread mods. Oh, did I mention Leicester are now in the PREMIER LEAGUE?!?!
