Is it time now to accept that our biggest local rivals are the Covscum
This is nothing to do with the fact that Derby and Forest are in different divisions to us at the moment, its just something that often puzzles me.
Over the years the traditional enemies of Leicester City have always been Forest and Derby, with many considering Forest to be the main targets of the blue mongies.
The hatred for Cov maybe diluted because of their West Midlands classification. On local television we never see them, so is it a case of out of sight, out of mind ?
When you break things down though i find it strange that the Covscum are not public enemy no1 in Leicester.
Forest and Derby consider us as poor relations in their own intense rivalries, probaly akin to the Sunderland, Newcastle and M'boro set-up.
Of course depending in which part of the county you come from will influence personal opinions to the most despised team.
Imo the case for Cov being the main enemy stems from a few things. Geographically Coventry are the nearest of the 3 teams to us. Cov also like to consider Villa as their main enemy, but Villa are totally taken up with their dislike of Birmingham. So both Leicester and Cov are looking on enviously at intense rivalries between other teams. Surely we should be looking at each other
Having been in close quarters with fans from all 3 local rivals, i can say without any fear that the Covscum fans are amongst the most irritating people i know. Deluded that they are a much bigger team than ourselves, and like Forest they live off something that they won over 20 yrs ago. We may have the blue mongies but believe me we have nothing compared to these inbreds.
So what is your take on it ? I suspect it will be Forest for the majority, but imo it makes us like a lap dog pining for some attention from its master.
Bollox to Forest, i hate Cov:icon_wink
