Which clubs...


Not jealous of anyone. I see fans of the so-called big boys crying when they don’t win anything or managing to break into applause if they do and I look at that lot up the road with their free flags and blood money and I think - nah, you can keep it. I feel a real pride in watching a young, hungry team playing good football and the connection they have with the supporters. I think of all the shit we’ve been through in recent years and see the passion and joy of those supporters when we score or achieve something, like Wembley last season. Of course I’d like us to win more, but I wouldn’t choose to support anyone else on the planet.
 
Leicester.

I don’t envy the “big six” in the slightest, because they’ve all just bought their way to “success”. That’s not an achievement as far as I’m concerned. They’re just play things for rich people. There’s no magic in it.

Leicester’s league winning season though? Out of nowhere? I can’t even begin to imagine how f***ing magic that must have been for their supporters. If we had the chance to experience that, I wouldn’t swap it for ten champions leagues supporting the likes of Man City or Chelsea.
Absolutely this. It was mental to watch with growing disbelief, and exciting as a neutral. It must have been insane as a fan.

We are never short of excitement, get great crowds home and away even when rubbish and ignoring all the league 1 Wembley visits for a second, reach a major cup final as frequently as 73, 85, 92, 2014.

Theres a lot worse off than us.

I’m not jealous of anyone, but this is a top shout. Supporting Leicester during that season (as a long time fan) must have been incredible. Weird to think that Leicester fans of not too old an age have seen them win every domestic trophy.

We’re definitely an interesting club to support. Supporting someone like Ipswich or Preston would be boring AF.

Can't say I enjoyed the season. Was more stress and desperation for it to happen before the first real moment of relief when the trophy was lifted.

My son is 12 and he's seen us win the Championship, Premier League, FA Cup and Community Shield, aswell as an amazing escape and Champions League Quarter Final and Conference League Semi Final.

I've had to point out it isn't always like this.

I don't think any club has had such a roller coaster since 1991 when I started going to watch.

as previously stated, you can change your kegs, socks, job ,car, house and your wife, but you cant change your team, its tribal, and success is just around the corner.

My lad has seen us win the lot and seen us robbed by the ref in a Champions League QF and play at The Stadio Olympic in aEuropa Conference SF against Roma ( best atmosphere I’ve ever seen)
I remember us taking 10 000 to an away leg of a Zenith Data Systems Cup in 1991 because we thought it was as good as it could get 🤷🏽‍♂️
