No real idea how bad it was Quote Watch the ugly scenes at Villa Park that followed Leicester City's loss to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup last night in our video player above. As Villa fans poured onto the pitch, these scenes played out in the away end with footage appearing to show travelling Leicester City fans in an altercation with stewards and police officers. The incident took place in Aston Villa's North Stand - where Leicester City fans were seated. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/leicester-city-police-clash-cup-3788498 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From all Leicester fans I know (there's a few working in Notts), they don't consider us a rival at all. Of course they say that we don't matter... And it true if you consider that the Nottingham clubs and Derby have a big rivalry with Leicester as soon as another Midlands club hits a purple patch they love to beat Villa. I can remember some real excitement from Stoke once they started to beat us.....Coventry also got quite excited. We were tops dogs in the entire region for a generation. The do like to beat us.

PaulC Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Never been a big rivalry between villa and Leicester from my experience. I know a lot of Leicester fans too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I haven't really caught that many of their games, but just tuned in to this. How reliant have they been on Vardy in the past years? Feel like they will be in deep trouble once he leaves/retires as they seen to struggle without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 They’ve been pretty savvy in the transfer market, I’m sure they’ll have some replacements lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 They seemed to have been hit by a hammer blow when Liverpool destroyed them at Christmas time. I also think some of the big early season players went off the boil after that game Ayoze Perez was having probably having his best season and seemed to crash, could also say the same for Maddison he is having a similar time to Grealish I think though he has been injured a couple of games recently. I havent seen much but some media were also calling out Soyuncu calling him shocking in the last few months and labelling him headless compared to his calmness before Hopefully they can take that last Champions League spot ahead of Chelsea, I think United will power past both in the coming games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'm sure they can find ways to get a player to be fitter at 33 than they were in their first top flight season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way hes going I think he has a season or two left in him though. They deserve a champions league spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'd be very surprised if they sacked Rodgers, he's done a great job there so far. This is his first full season, they are punching above their weight and I think they'll find out tomorrow or Tuesday if 5th is good enough for a spot in the big cup.

They've been very good in the transfer market except at striker. Pretty surprising i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Aye, but every striker they've bought since Vardy has been as a backup to Vardy. He's the main man, when he does hang up his boots they might be looking at going a bit more upmarket than Man City reserves or a bloke who has had one good season in the Portuguese leagues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Leicester's form since Christmas has only been marginally better than relegation form, have taken just eleven points from the last twelve games, they were twelve when they sacked Puel, they're not the kind of club that waits to drop into the relegation zone before sacking the manger. Rodgers will probably survive this season, but if he gets off to a bad start then he'll be at risk of losing his job. Just had a look on 'Foxestalk' and there's a 'Rodgers out' thread, only looked at the first page, but seems a surprising amount of them are in agreement.

Zatman Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 It really wouldnt shock me in the slightest if they dumped him early next season. If it does happen I think it would kill Rodgers managerial momentum as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it at the time. Sacking him was the best thing they could do for him. He now is still remembered as the guy that won them the league and was repaid by being cruelly sacked soon after. When in reality he was going to get them relegated and his reputation would have taken far more of a hit if he'd led defending champions into the championship Edited July 12, 2020 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
