Leicester fans are ‘looking forward’ to facing Newcastle United.
Monday night’s match seeing Eddie Howe’s team hoping for three points towards their quest for Champions League qualification.
As for Leicester fans, the comments below on what they are hoping for from this game, are pretty special.
For so many football fans, when hope has gone, the default is so often turning to gallows humour.
Leicester City fans have seen their team lose 14 of their last 15 PL games.
The last seven PL matches were all defeats without scoring a goal.
Whilst the last Premier League goal that Leicester fans saw their team score at the King Power, was back on 8 December 2024.
Leicester fans commenting on this upcoming Newcastle United match via their Foxes Talk message board:
‘A shot on target?
Its a matter of trying to guess how many we will concede to nil and stick a bet on.’
‘There is very little point to this football club anymore.’
‘Not even bothering to go to this.’
‘I’m glad I cant get. Work has saved me from wasting an evening!!’
‘Decided before the international break I wasn’t going to go to this one
Not even bothering to sell my ticket on.’
‘And miss out on seeing THE carabao cup winners? Under the lights, on filbert way no less? How could anyone miss such an event.’
‘Start the youngsters.
Ffs can’t be any worse than 14 defeats out of 15 and no goals in the last 7 games.’
‘This will be the 8-0 humiliation our useless lot deserve.’
‘Was considering selling my ticket on but then realised no one in their right mind would pay to see this. In fact I would probably even have to pay my Geordie mate to go.’
‘Don’t really care anymore, i’d rather gift points to the teams that can dunk Forest out of the top 4, since we’re inevitably losing to them.’
‘Harvey Barnes to parade the Carabao Cup at HT.’
‘I’ll probably get there early to buy some merch in the store and fully soak up the fan zone. Can’t wait.’
‘Don’t forget to get in early to wave your honesty flag to the banging light show and fire pre match build up in the king power bowel I mean bowl.’
‘Hope they batter us
Praying they catch Forest.’
‘I love everyone hanging their entire season on teams catching forest. Gotta love a bit of local team jealousy.’
‘Well we’ve got the record of losing at home to nil, may as well make it unbeatable for centuries to come.’
‘0-8 like at Sheff Utd last season if they are on it; how sad when Harvey Barnes puts a hattrick past us.’
‘An absolute joke that this non contest is on TV. But then again this is the same company who’ve replaced experts with youtubers so it’s no surprise. 0-3 obviously.’
‘Live in the North East now…….so going to have to get my excuses of just how rubbish we are in early to my mag mates.’
‘Might fly back early from Sri Lanka for this one.’
‘Hopefully lots of empty seats that the cameras pick up on. I wont be re listing my seat can stay empty.’
‘Another game we will concede without scoring. I’m going 0-3 Newcastle.’
‘I really struggle to see how anyone can’t empty chair this one..
If someone attends,.it’s an appalling act of selfishness and/or a shocking lack of intelligence. And I’ve read the argument that people are hard up. But tha isn’t really an excuse – the money spent is accounted for. You don’t get that money back by attending.
This game needs only to be viewed by the Geordies and – unpleasant words I know – the nutters, the lonely and the brain dead.’
‘Never been so sure of a slaughtering in my life, I dont even think Newcastle will have to break a sweat and they’ll win 5 nil.’
‘Going out on a limb and predicting 3 points for the geordies.’
‘The only empty seats we’ll be seeing is after 70 mins when our resident traffic-dodgers make a break for it.
The KPFC zombies and Perspective FC fans will still be there fulfilling their obligation to clap the players off at half time when we’re three nil down with an xG of 0.01 because we were in League One once.
Brain dead club.’
‘Actually more benefit to them winning and putting pressure on Forest. Even if we did get a spawny result, it won’t change our outcome.
Also at this stage, a humiliating relegation is probably better long term than a false dawn towards the end that ‘just came to late’.
Relegation is relegation but the more humiliating, the more it might just force some change. We should never have gone down 2 years ago with the players we had but if you point to a missed penalty here or disallowed goal there or even Forest and Everton not getting deductions, it gives Top and co something to deflect behind and bemoan bad luck.
We need there to be nowhere to hide this season. I hope Southampton overhaul us to be honest.’
‘If we park the bus and lose just like we did at Man City, we may aswell have a go at trying a counter attack and have a shot towards the goal.’
‘The Dutchman (a term now which I think is too nice for him) is done. Not just here but in this country. He will never manage at a decent level. His man management skills are atrocious. He hasn’t got a tactical brain and offers nothing, absolutely nothing. I want him gone.
But, I want to feel a goal, just one. Even if it’s for 30 minutes and 1-0 up. And we end up losing 4-1. At least we’d have that feeling again.’
‘Sadly it will the usual donkeys across the pitch playing the same way with Bilal the only one pressing and tackling as well as trying to get the ball forward.
I can understand playing Soumare and Ndidi in midfield if you’ve never seen them play, but after 5 months what is it Ruud thinks is worth sticking with?
Another game watching idiots gets to the half way line, stop and pass backwards between the defence until Mads ends up punting it up the pitch back to the opposition. Either that or Soumare not looking where he is passing and giving it away.’
‘Newcastle fan I work with is putting a bet on that we score.’
‘He needs therapy.’
‘More chance of Soumare hitting his 10k steps on his Fitbit.’
‘I am going to the game, travelling a long way to do so (calm down, I´m combining it with a visit to see family). At least this season there´s no tension about whether we might stay up. I thought we were down when we lost to Palace.
I wonder what the audience does at the opera or ballet when the performance is poor. Do they sing “You don´t what you´re doing” at the conductor and “You´re not fit to wear the leotard” at the ballet dancers”?’
‘I sometimes feel that our lack of atmosphere is down to people for some strange reason equating it with the opera, ballet or theatre. But I never had any proof that people genuinely did that, until now.’
