I have. The bloke who checks your garbage at the Barwell tip had one of those strange tall bobble hats on with a Fester badge on it. He didn't smile much. However, my step-son seems resigned to the fact that they may well get relegated this year, but at least he's lived the dream. To be fair, he never crowed about it at the time. Seemed more shell shocked than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they would. It ain't that far away when Millwall played Championship and Uefa Cup at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that, think it was them from reaching the FA cup final where they got dismantled by Man U, Boro from winning the league cup and Newcastle from their finish in the league the season before. Which would make it 04/05. Scary that it was over a dozen years ago now they competed as I remember the Wall's lack of quality telling as they got trashed by their first european opponents to exit early in the season. By contrast Boro and Newcastle batted their own opponents aside, then walked their respective groups to both finish first and got past the last 32 ties as well. Ironically both went out in March in the last 16 and quarters respectively to the same side, eventual runners up Sporting Lisbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Will they go down? no, but it would be hilarious if they did. almost as impressive as winning the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 They're close to the drop zone and experience suggests that usually one of the teams that look dead and buried go on a run. In 2015 that was Leicester. So unless we've gifted them some confidence I think they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I do know their football at Pride Park was some of the most boring to watch I have seen in a long time and their fans in the King Power Stadium generated the worst atmosphere I can remember at a Premiership club last night. Winning the league may be a poisoned chalice of misplaced entitlement and future unrest. I, however, won £250 on them last year. Laughing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yeah teams around them are picking up, Swansea are looking sharper, Hull are looking more compact and Sunderland are starting to move in the right direction, Palace for me and someone in the bottom half could be sucked in.

jagerbob Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Before last night i would have said they will go down. now they might stay up. Grey and their sub who scored their blinder should give them hope. But if we had better quality ourselves last night in the forward positions we would have beat them.

toddy Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Confidence shot, players unable to put 2 passes together the momentum is within them to drop into the bottom 3. Yesterdays performance against Swansea was awful - 80 years since the winner of the old 1st division /prem has been relegated the following season. Not sure if any club that has made the knockout stages out the champions league has also been relegated from their home top flight in the same season?

SIWY Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think that come the end of the season they will have managed to turn it around in fairness, but having watched their last couple of games they're absolutely awful and are in real danger of going down. The one guy I feel really sorry for in all of this is Ranieri, he's being majorly let down by the players who did so well last season and now I wouldn't even be surprised if he got the sack (not that he deserves the sack). If I was him I'd drop the likes of Vardy and Mahrez as they truly do not look interested, and try to get the most out of the players who look like they do care such as Gray, Slimani and Ndidi.

WhiteHorseRam Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 They really want to stay up this season, as otherwise their amazing achievement 2015/2016 will be completely coloured by being relegated 2016/2017. (The Trivial Pursuit answer that even completely non-football interested people know for all time). Also, I suspect a heap of their players would leave/be bought out of their contracts and they would then spend a good long time in the EFL.

BobbyD Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think that there is every chance they will go down Right now only 5 points separate the bottom 6 clubs - 3 of them won't make it. I genuinely believe any of them could go down, its that close and there are plenty of matches to go. So that gives the Foxes only a 50% chance of survival at best Looking at momentum and belief, which seems to be so important at this point in the season, 2 of them (Swansea and Hull) are showing promise. I would have included Sunderland with them after their result at Palace, but then they went backwards alarmingly at home to Southampton. There is only one team showing worse form than Leicester and that is Palace. That leaves Middlesbro who don't seem to have been as bad as the others so far - no shocking defeats or abject performances. Leicester have been under pressure to improve for months now, and have failed to do so. The manager is tinkering like mad and confusing the players. Some of the other teams have made changes and are showing signs of improvement. Poor performances in the Cup and Champions League for the Foxes could be like nails in their coffin. None of the other teams down there are under the same scrutiny and its related pressure. So I'm going for Sunderland, Palace and Leicester to go down , based on current showings. Perfect : I've convinced myself. That pre-season bet on them getting relegated is looking nailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 4 hours ago, Phoenix said: Part 2. The desolation of Lineker. I had a dream last night that Lineker was sacked by the BBC. I wasn't sure if it was a Fran or not actually, I had to check. Can't remember what he was sacked or through. It may have even been for some personal slight against me. Such is my god-like power, I had him sacked. Bit i remember being quite sad and shocked actually, cos I quite like him. I remember seeing an interview with Alan Shearer, and even he wasn't able to defend him, so he must've done something bad. It was a dream, right? Not just a premonition of this film.
