So does that mean you agree he's a Maniac?

Imagine how much better things would have been if we'd signed Nicky Maynard though.

I woke up this morning and realised something - I don't hate Chelsea anymore. I just can't. They used to be one of my most hated teams, but my god, they put up such a committed performance on Monday, they were incredible. I think I'll actually always quite like them now.

Yes he was brilliant! He played like a fecking lion! You could see the hatred of Spurs in his performance, it was quality!

Moving away from Leicester as a young kid, I've never had a season ticket. I owe my dad’s enthusiasm in keeping my interest burning.
A trip to a home game was a day trip for me and my dad and chance to catch up with relatives. A night game was always a mad dash after work, but my dad loved it and I went along with it. We went regularly from 89 to mid nineties. Home and away.
Many a 0-0 spent in Filbo. I can’t say I enjoyed the early years. A foreign adult environment to me where I spent as much of my childish lack of attention watching the steel grey skies and the floodlights coming on or just rubbish swirling in the biting wind, it was the Pleat era after all. I didn’t like the cigar smoke the profanity (From my dad) the smell of beer or the strange people, many of which I would come to recognise over the years.
I always remember the Filbo stadium announcer. Walking the streets outside and hearing the same voice was like a familiar friend I never met. The trips to Wembley, the Premier league 1st season, Iwan is a Welshman, relegation. Making connections with other Leicester fans (Sorely absent from the school I went) Then Clarridge last minute. Silverware, beer. 3-3 Arsenal passion.
I then lost the passion. A few absent seasons around 2000 where still to this day not all the first teamers are familiar names and I wouldn’t have gone to a single game all season.
The internet allowed me to re-find this , we were shit but I enjoyed having likeminded people venting their frustration. League one came and was actually a breath of fresh air.
Now my Aussie wife took me away from my beloved Citeh. Here I am on the other side of the world. Photo attached
Captain Wes to lift the trophy will cause me to blubb a little.
I'm back in Leicester next week
Love to you all, you miserable bastards.

On a building site yesterday for work; quote from site manager " the plasterers were supposed to start yesterday but they're Leicester City supporters so they didn't turn up". After I'd had a celebratory word with the plasterers I asked the site manager if he had a team, "Spurs" he replied grumpily - I couldn't stop smiling for the rest of my visit & I think he was glad to see the back of me!!
Thanks Blaarev, wonderful. Stuff in my eyes again. Your fault.
