Just read a few pages on their forum.. why do they think they're a massive club? also, getting a point against Arsenal and narrowly losing to Chelsea has severely clouded their judgement, it's not like we haven't done that against those teams before is it? (no, we've actually beat them)Never really been arsed about Leicester fans before but would be more than happy to give them a royal shafting on Saturday if it shut them up. It's not the results, it's the performance. We played Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal, and gave them all a good run for their money. The results weren't fantastic, but the performances have been very encouraging. Its the results not the performance that determines if you're relegated or not, a good performance is nice but if you end up with no points at the end of it it means nothing, and so far it aint looking good for you, that could change but I can't say I've seen much to convince me.

To be fair if in our first season we'd had the results they have had, against those teams, we'd be looking forward to an 'easier' game! Maybe we need to bring back the 'look where we've come from' threads.

I was more on about their hole season tbh, I think it will be a tough game for us on sat, we've only had one decent game in the league so far and still yet to know our starting 11 really.

???? more interested in goading you than celebrating?????? was that when the Stoke fans were so excited about being promoted that they invaded the pitch too early or the point when the whole crowd swarmed into the pitch as soon as the full time whistle went before even the players had had chance to leave the field????? no offence mate (seriously, i'm not saying this in an insulting way) but we didn't give a flying fuck about Leicester being relegated when the whistle went let alone being arsed to stand there and goad you about it...we'd just been promoted to the Prem!! within about 5 seconds of the full time whistle i'd completely forgotten Leicester fans and players were even there! Well like I said I was there and know what happened. I didn't say all of you...I just remember feeling so devestated at the result one of the few things that cheered me up that day was how keen some of you lot were to goad us....like our relegation was more important to (some of) you than your own promotion. Anyway, thats all in the past and here we are on a level playing field once again.

Nowt personal mate just a general comment. I am never confident about any Stoke game and after the Man City result I'm even more nervous against shit like Leicester!

Home team, clear favourites, squad full of names all (most) of you have heard of. playing against a championship standard team full of nobodies, none of whom would even grace stokes bench. There is only one outcome for this game surely???

It's not the results, it's the performance. We played Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal, and gave them all a good run for their money. The results weren't fantastic, but the performances have been very encouraging. Well it's great to see the use of associative logic haven't you mate? We played these three teams who came above Stoke in table innit, we played like okay innit, so when we play Stoke like, we gonna win like 9 nil... innit? Innit yeah? Go bet your house on it... you've all pretty much got this shit sorted out eh? Premiership title here you come. You're a sure-fire for the win now. Just... don't come asking if you need somewhere to stay after Saturday. What? Just....what? Can you read at all, or do you need help with words of more than one syllable? Did you have to dictate that post so that someone else could type it out for you? I know you struggle somewhat in the intellect department, but if you actually possessed the ability to read most of my posts, then you will have realised that I predicted Stoke to get the win. It's just not going to be the push over that you think it will be; other than 45 minutes against Chelsea, when we were left with one CM due to injury, we haven't been dominated yet, so I doubt you'll be the first to destroy us. I have some "phonics for beginners" books you can borrow if you're looking to improve on your literacy skills.

amazing how some on here are calling the Leicester fans deluded yet also saying we'll demolish them and tear them a new one.....
ONE season of coming in the top ten and it's come to this???? embarrassing!!!!
i think Leicester have a decent chance of staying up and, like any team in their first season up or back in the Prem, have a nothing to lose attitude, some decent players to be fair and a proper never say die spirit (as we did a few years back, play and give 100% until the final whistle and throw everything in the way when defending)
let's not pretend that we've hit the ground running this season...we were beaten by a side (and i quote an earlier thread here to show the delusion of grandeur some of our fans seem to be getting swept up in) "Who'll come 12th at best" and hardly set the world alight against a team who only came up last season and just about managed to hang onto their Prem place for this year.
we've got Diouf who may not even start due to his international duty, Arnie who really hasn't even got close to getting into his stride as yet, Pieters who's having a severe hangover from the summer and doesn't look anything like the way he was last year and 1 Centre back who never convinces when he's turned or comes up against pace (Wilson not Ryan)
this is the kind of game where we want to pick up all 3 points and so far this season we've hardly convinced in any way in terms of going forward but apparently it will be the easiest game of our season, they'll roll over and have their bellies tickled and happily leave the Brit after losing 3 or 4 nil and just be glad they managed to play against us "Big boys"....and we have the nerve to call their fans delusional FFS! if we'd been top ten for the last 4 or 5 years running and started this season with lots of attacking vigour, intent and an end result then fine, crack on but we haven't at all in any way. we've looked lack lustre, sloppy, confused going forward with no final ball and far too many passes going astray. half of you on here were slating our side before the Man City result and now we're suddenly World beaters who are way out of Leicester's league???? the sheer hypocrisy is staggering (not to mention fucking embarrassing!)
the way some of our own fans are talking you'd think we were fucking Chelsea!!!!
make no mistake, the game on saturday is by no means a forgeone conclusion, they'll fight for everything unti the very last minute...when we did that when we came up we were proud of our boys (and rightly so) because that's how you stay up nowadays; be dogged, determined, passionate and hungry...that's EXACTLY what Leicester have done so far and will try to do again on Saturday.
yes, some of them do come across as delusional fuckwits but there are just as many of our own on this very thread that could give them a run for their money!

Why is it "not looking good" for us? We're three spaces above the relegation zone, while having played Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal. You're right, it's points that matter, but on the other hand if you'd asked me at the start of the season how many points we'd expect to get from these, I would have said 0, 1 at a push. During these games we've played good football, and were good value for the points, which you would know if you had watched the games rather than just seen the highlights on Match Of The Day. Are you saying that we're going to get relegated because we didn't beat any of those three? Because that's not very sound logic. If we go the next few games without a win, then I would be inclined to agree with you, but it's a bit naive to say that we're going to get relegated because we only drew with two of last seasons top 5, and lost against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (who are clearly going to be the league winners, and put 6 past Everton). So far, we've had exactly the same fixtures as Everton (Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton/Us), and we lie ahead of them on goal difference, but I don't see people saying that Everton are certain for relegation. Again, I think we'll be lucky to get a point against you, but I don't understand the "Leicester are certain for relegation". No one has actually given me any evidence to support that, other than "lol championship team".

Does anyone on here realise that Stoke could well get relegated this season? No. Could we get relegated? Yes of course, so could most. Are we likely to? Not really, no and we certainly should be looking up rather than down. I don't consider us close to "could well get relegated". That's not arrogance as my first target is always 40 points but my real aim is 55 and 8th/9th again.

It's obviously the first thing you think of after just beating the reigning champions on their own patch. Makes perfect sense when you think about it.

I'll happily just take the 3 points and hopefully never hear from you on here again. And if we lose, it happens we've lost to worse teams than Leicester. Either way you're boring me......

so I doubt you'll be the first to destroy us. But we're Johnny Big Bolloxes now, with big names! I feel quietly confident about this game. I think 3-0 Stoke is way more likely than 3-0 Leicester, but it could all go tits up. We've looked toothless when teams sat back, and we've bought in bigger names but some of them get really fucking mardy when their fancy little tippy-tappy stuff doesn't work out. It's been a really positive start for Leicester and I can see why you're feeling pretty chuffed. No-one thought we were gonna stay up in our first season and I had a Villa fan telling me I was deluded just before we beat them 3-2 because I said I thought we could win some games and scrape it. I don't want to make the same mistake. I reckon you've shown that you're not dead certs for relegation and I like seeing a team with good local support doing well. But I still hope we tonk you

I think we'll win 1-0 in a tight affair. Its absolutely the worst time to play promoted teams to be honest but we'll be ok.
