i don't think one can also under estimate how much Hendrie would have loved beating the Baggies.
Take a bow son.
Bossed the midfield and carried the game to West Brom.
Howard will get all the plaudits but Hendrie was imense. Went one nil down and instead of sulking grabbed hold of Oakley and shouted god knows what but it worked.
He took the game to WBA second half, was a danger throughout, stayed in his shirt when subsituted and congratulated all the players at the final whislte before wrestling past stewards to give a city fan his shirt.
Its been a long time since a player in a city shirt played with a swagger and arrogance.
Top fecking banana
Par for the course with most football fans :icon_bigg
I know you are right, but let's just believe, at least for the remainder of this weekend, that he did it for us because he loves us :icon_bigg
Hume?
Are you having a laugh? The only thing Hume is passionate about is Hume.
Hendrie reminds me of Savage. Love him when he plays for you and hate him when he plays for anyone else. He'll happily switch his passion and allegiance in an instant. A totally shameless, modern, footballer.
At least he appears to give a feck and has got some bollocks. Unlike the fella he replaced in the centre of midfield.
eh? Passionate was not part of the criteria. You need to read it again. The statement was made that it has been a long time since a player in a city shirt played with a swagger and arrogance. That is not true - Hume has always played with swagger and arrogance. Whether on his recent form he should feel entitled to do so is quite a different matter.
I can't remember seeing Hume play with swagger and arrogance, he rushes round the field being a general nuisance but thats not the same at all, swagger and arrogance implies a level of ability I've never attributed to our canadian friend.
Then I fear you need to invest in a decent dictionary. Both words suggest a strutting about, thinking that you're the best thing since sliced bread; there is no implication you should deserve to do so. Hume swaggered; Hume was arrogant - let's hope that Saturday's experience has taught him something.
I don't need a dictionary, I just don't agree with you.
After watching the match highlights, Hendrie looks very euthastic about this club and has a lot of passion in the leicester shirt something missed in along time, i hope he keeps it up and its not to suvive relegation and becomes shit like the others
... but we do seem to agree in our opinions about the player - just not on how his manner should be described.
i think a large part of that was due to it being against wba and he wouldve got some stick when he was at villa, everytime we scored he was there 'goading' their fans

The location may have had a bearing on the degree of his 'encouraging of the crowd' on Saturday, but he did the same thing at the Walkers during the game against Bristol City.
