Looks like they are getting ahead of themselves and being a bit too cocky. They've also been selling scarfs outside the ground with "Champions" on it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...think-theyve-won-the-premier-league-title-al/ This gives a good insight into their mentality http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/88225-watford-more-dislikeable-than-most/
the spiv's selling half and half scarves getting ahead of themselves it seems. Last day of last season springs to mind, still got horrors of the drunken idiot on the pitch and ridiculous encroaching of fans onto the pitch.
Really!? Leicester play Sunderland, who are not very good. Spurs play United, who are good enough to get at least a point. Not sure how saggy face has figured that one out.
Proper mental thread to start. If I were to choose a team to pick on in this league with any ounce of credibility, I wouldn't go for them. If we were top and likely to qualify for the Champions League next week, 7 points clear, we would all be giving it the massive one.
Have you seen the news that their players are taking performance enhancing drugs? It's not so much the club though, it's more their fans who have always been a bunch of gobsh**tes
Agree. Isn't this the best thing that has happened to the Premier League ever? Indeed any league that has large revenue? The fact it is Leicester is irrelevant. It's the fact that it can be done that warms the cockles.
Leicester fans got nothing on Arsenal fans. I can't think of anything worse than Arsenal winning it. I had the pleasure of being next to the arsenal fans on Saturday and they have got annoying to a different level. i don't think I have heard or seen so much self gratification in one place, slogans like "class is permanent" quotes of why players love Arsenal splashed all around the walls and that statue of Tony's Adams is just hilarious, no wonder the place is full of ****s. I know we were **** so I was pissed off but I just wanted to vomit all over them.
Why are you dragging a thread of theirs up from three years ago? A lot of water has passed under the bridge for both teams since May 2013. That and the fact some spivs outside the ground are selling scarves with 'Premiership Champions' sic on is hardly a reflection of the fans or the club. I have to say, bizarre post from beginning to end.
I'm sure some on here would be complaining that we weren't 10 points clear instead. :doom: You are of course forgetting the Bournemouth story.
Has your account been hacked or have you just been under too much pressure recently? Pikeys selling the scarves outside the ground are NOT official merchandisers, then you quote a thread from 2013 to back up your non story.
The tramp selling them is a Chelsea fan. Bloke was getting no end of grief before the game I can tell you that much, certainly not appreciated by us. But, I'm sure a few moronic day trippers bought one to make it worth his while. I saw a Saints fan buy one... I found that even more confusing.
I have nothing against the team of Leicester, but their fans are just awful. The most conceited bunch on the planet. It's the gloating at other team misfortunes, which they always do, before celebrating their own success which is the biggest thing I hate about them. I watched their match against Newcastle, when they scored the only goal do you know what where the first two things they chanted? " Going down with the Villa" then a chorus of "you're getting sacked in the morning"......it was only then once they'd enjoyed rubbing the noses of the opposition in it did they start supporting their own side with "we're going to win the league". Maybe I'm just old school, but you've got to show a bit of class in these situations. They've always been like this, (they did the same thing to us in '96, even referred to it in post #11 on the Foxtalk link I gave) and this is what I despise. I don't see any other group of supporters do this....not to the same extent. I 100% guarantee if we ever were in Leicester's position and were winning the league, chalking off win after win to have this incredible ending to the season.......no one would even consider singing "going down" as the first chant after an important goal. We'd all be too wrapped with joy over our own team......as I would say 99% of fans from every club in the land would also be.
But they were being gleefully waved about by Leicester fans in the ground. I saw it on TV. There's a part of me that likes what Leicester are doing, but if your lot were more humble and a lot less Schadenfreude (sorry I don't know another English word for this) I would be happy for you.
Indeed, as proven by the fact that at our peak this season we happily advised the Villa fans that they were 'going down with the Bournemouth' after every goal we scored at Villa Park.
Actually I hate to jump to HB's defence here there is something (imo) very noxious about gloating another team's demise. Yeah I have never really forgiven the Leicester fans for singing Going down with the Luton when we were relegated to Division 3.... nor will I forgive the Watford fans for singing the same away at Millwall couple of seasons ago.
Sorry but quoting an article by Harry is a load of crap. Have you read it? It's absolute drivel of the highest order, the man is an arse. He's patting himself on the back for a third of it. Absolute toilet.
How dare you. If anyone knows how to win the Premier League*, it's Harry Redknapp. *should read 'selling dodgy scarves'
This was posted by a chap named Philip Raiswell on a Facebook page and I thought it would appeal to some on here! Is this the man responsible for Leicester City's march to the title? When Richard III was buried in Leicester on 26 March 2015 the club was bottom of the Premier League and facing a quick return to the Championship. Since that day, Leicester have played 41 league fixtures, winning 27, drawing 10 and losing just 4, picking up 91 league points! What is remarkable is that the turnaround was instant, Leicester winning four games on the trot immediately following the funeral to move out of the relegation places, with the run of good form now continuing for 12 months. Meanwhile, the city that vied with Leicester to bury the king, York, has seen the fortunes of their club nose dive with relegation out of the league looking likely. A coincidence or something quite spooky? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I thought he was having me on, but, no ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhumation_and_reburial_of_Richard_III_of_England
regarding the OP, yep it's a shame some fans get so cocky so quickly. I've posted over 200 times on there (Foxes Talk) , but it hasn't actually been much fun this season ...
That article has been amended as in the original copy 'Arry said Wes Morgan was unlucky not to have an England cap by now and that's it's probably too late to make the Euro 2016 squad. Wes Morgan has 25 caps for Jamaica.
Not strictly true. First they cheered, then they did that stupid tune with no words just 'Leicester' at the end (that we do too), then they sung 'Do do do, we've got Okazaki', then a walking in a winter wonderland type song, then 2 minutes after the goal 'You're going down with the Villa'. I know we've sang that song before this season as well.
I don't think that happened. If you can provide a clip I'll happily admit I'm wrong here, as I did this from memory. Of course they cheered first, but then the next song was "going down with the Villa", then "you're getting sacked in the morning". I'm pretty certain that was the first two proper songs they sang straight after the goal.
I 100% guarantee that you are wrong. I also dislike it when fans choose to chant about other teams' failures rather than their own team's success. I agree it is classless. But if you are seriously claiming that Watford has no such faction within its own fanbase then you really are living in cloud cuckoo land.
Indeed, we sang that to Newcastle fans I think. We also sang a similar (obvs not the same song) to Villa as well.
