I'm surprised more Town fans haven't said this. I wasn't there (I was a baby) but I've heard from enough people their fans were shites during the POs.

I don't remember that.  (I wasn't a baby.)

Leicester are a club I can find little reason to get worked up about.  We beat them at Wembley - not the best day of my life, but probably in the top 5 - and since we've had just one season in the same division as them (2008-09).  You need a little oxygen to fan the flames of a rivalry.

Leicester fans were OK at Wembley as far as I recall.....not in the same class as the Mackems 3 years earlier. For lack of class look no further than Millwall, and they won.

Guess you got lucky.. Millwall fans are funny, I know loads and all nice people away from football. Mention it and its like instant wanker powder has been consumed.

I know it's my cynicism but Leicester City are bankrolled by a billionaire, this isn't early Nottingham Forest under Brian Clough. It's great that a different team are competing but there has been some sickly 1970's romanticism about their whole venture.

Ranieri deserves loads of praise though, the level of UK based ignorance when he was appointed was embarrassing.

They might have a billionaire owner, but they haven't spent millions on players. There is no 'big name star player', they seem to have an amazing team spirit with great attitude and commitment.

Hats off to them.

Obviously everyone is going to have different experiences of fans (especially in the numbers you'd get during play offs) but like I said I know of more than one Town fan who bears a grudge against Leicester.

Interestingly one anecdote I heard about Leicester was that the Mackems were indeed a much better group.. Which is interesting and relieving to me as it means Reg isn't my Dad.

In other news this, I hope this goes well:

Somewhat understandable given what happened in his previous job

Anderlecht have a bit of making up to do, on the PR front.

The only catch being that you have to watch Huddersfield.
