On This Day.

Strange thing is perception, I remember now thinking that we didn't play badly in a number of games that season (before the great escape) but just didn't get the results.

Yep, I agree. It was frustrating as we didn’t seem to be that far off. To me, Huth seemed to make a huge difference in our ability to see a game out.

In more ways than one?

Happy Birthday Mr Chairman. Always in our hearts.

The fact that we didn’t just stay up by the skin of our teeth, but confirming it with a game in hand, is just remarkable.

And thumping QPR on the last day after them being quite far ahead of us in quality for years was a brilliant feeling.

One of my favourite games ever. That Vardy goal prompted the wildest celebrations since the last minute goal at Forest - I ended up miles away.

That goal is a great sliding doors moment. If Vardy had missed it, who knows where we'd be now.

Now on this day. Crazy to think how late in the year this survival run actually started.

Lots of major five years ago memories coming up. This one happened five years ago today.

I can’t remember a penalty I was that nervous about. He’s got balls of steel.

I couldn’t look and my knees buckled when I heard the cheers. I found that game emotionally exhausting.

 

[Miles Away]

I’ll never, ever forget where I was watching that.

And I will always worship at the altar of Lenny Ulloa because of that penalty.

 

[mabrah]

It was certainly when I started to think we were worthy.

We'd already won the league before the West Ham match.

When I watch it now, that's what I think about. That all that trauma was utterly unnecessary.

I watched us win the league at Sunderland away.

If only we'd been certain of it at the time...

I felt ill during that game. At 2-1 down I'd convinced myself we'd blown it.

Imagine if Ulloa missed though. Balls of steel

If only you were certain now....

And after the game the worry turned to coping without JV.

4-0 to the one-man team....

4-0 to the one-man team....

Mahrez pissed on Ashley Williams chips. Jeff Schlupp played a starring role but Leo stole the limelight.
