Today's the day then. The anniversary of us winning that great title.
2nd May 1925 saw us secure the second division title with a 4-0 victory over Stockport.

Happy EdenHazard Day
Screw that.
Happy Leicester City Day.
Happy Vardy Party Day.
Hazard was the crowning moment, but we won that title.

Now, where’s that famous tweet from Arthur Chandler mocking the ManU’s striker’s tweet from a few days earlier?

It was probably on the back of the fag packet he kept in his shorts during the match!
Brilliant and indeed - 'time to win again' - a mantra for next season

It's a bit late now but also on 26th April - this time in 1969 - Leicester's last FA Cup Final - 50 years ago. I was there and it's virtually a lifetime gone by!

Jeesh - that's a bit ****ing morbid, RF. Are you planning on dying soon?

No FA Cup wins.
No final for 50 years.
No semi final for 37 years.
Why are we so useless in that competition? Surely it is a statistical anomaly for a club our size to be so terrible at the FA Cup?
No, Boc, not morbid, nor planning to die soon, but I won't be able to hang on for another 50 years! Time to give the FA Cup a real go - and win it !

I agree. Another 50 years and I will be 119. I don't think I can hang in that long either.
I'd be 114 years old – but if we were Japanese, did exercise and meditation, gave up sex, drugs and bacon sandwiches and followed a Mediterranean diet, we might just make it. Note to Brendan Rodgers – Don’t wait that long to win the FA Cup – just in case...

Exercise? **** that!

Forty long years to the day since Forest beat Malmo to win the European Cup. Remember thinking, well that's never going to happen again.
