Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Leicester City

[Shadydan]

Can you imagine if Leicester won the CL and got relegated

It would confuse the fuck out of the conspiracy theorists

 

[Donki]

They are gonna win this at home aren't they?! Fucking pikey!

 

[Donki]

Oh and Casper seems a nice guy.

 

[TaoistMonkey]

They are gonna win this at home aren't they?! Fucking pikey!

No chance

 

[ardiles]

To be fair to them, despite the loss, they still managed to score an away goal against a team that is way above Gent in the European club ratings.

Mate we fucking lost to GENT

Who got to the champions league last 16 last season. It's not the embarrassment many people think it is.

Then again they're one point off the relegation zone.


I know where I'd rather be.

 

[E17yid]

I hope they get through. Any distraction that can assist in their relegation is a good thing.

Gent got to the knock out stages of the CL last season. Brugge didn't make it out of their Europa League group and Copenhagen got as far as West Ham.

Why can't we laugh at another club's failings on a spurs forum without someone playing devil's advocate and say 'but we lost to Gent etc'.

Tempted to wheel out Richard Keys so he can remind everyone that it's just banter. Lighten up.

I did not know that. Pretty impressive stuff - they were the first Belgian side to reach the KO phases since Anderlecht some 15 years earlier and only lost 4-2 to Wolfsburg on aggregate.

I thought Genk were the better side, but Gent have a decent history (albeit with less well known former players).

As a notable keyboard warrior, I'd much rather make fun of other clubs here, in the safety of The Spurs Forum than to the face of one of their fans without a barrier or steward to protect my glasses from being all fcuked up.

Last season last season last season. This is dwelling in the past a fair bit.

I can't believe we are even having this debate.

All these teams are shit yet we lost and leicester more or less sailed through. Doesn't mean they're better than us but it does mean we ought to have done better.

I do think we will destroy Gent tonight though

Ranieri #allegedly sacked

Rancheria, which is what my phone autocorrect Ranieri to, seems like a decent guy. I wonder if he was involved with whatever dodgy shit went down last season.

 

[tototoner]

Ranieri seems a nice bloke but fuck Leicester, hope they go down

 

[DIEHARD]

I'm actually staggered he is sacked of all times. That Sevilla result may well be a catalyst for them

 

[WalkerboyUK]

Odd timing considering they could well go through in CL

 

[Johnny J]

I can picture it now....

Hollywood movie about Leicester's wonder season.

Ends with Steptoe lifting the Prem trophy.

Freeze frame of their club's happiest moment. Lettering comes up: "Fortunately, Leicester's success was short-lived. The next season, they sacked Ranieri and still got relegated".

Fades to black.

Bonus post-credit scene: Steptoe looking forlornly at his Arsenal offer, interspersed with Leicester getting hammered at home by Burton Albion.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

It was on the cards I thought. They were a one season wonder.
