Storm Clouds Forming


Its doom and gloom in the LCFC chat rooms. Fans are starting to talk about relegation becoming a distinct possibility. How shameful!

You might say "You gotta take the ups with the downs kid" - well you might if you were John Wayne or some other dodgy cowboy. But relegation has particular significance for The Foxes because according to Wikipedia, Leicester City Football Club is one of only 10 clubs that have always been in the top two divisions of the football league.

So it's history in the making. Bad history.

The Foxes next game is on Friday. It is what's called "a derby". This means they are playing against a neighbouring team.

In the world of football, you are supposed to hate neighbouring teams more than you hate any others. You are supposed to make up horrible songs about them and sing them whenever you get chance.' Derbies', it seems, contain the passion of football.

The main teams that LCFC play against in 'derbies' are Nottingham Forest and ... er... Derby. This Friday's 'derby' is against ..er... Derby.

And the way The Foxes are playing at the moment the fans are not too confident they are going into the fight fully armed. No wonder passion is high!

I'd say they'll win. This is because it'll be a pressure match for the boys that play at Ley's baseball ground.

Foxes may come good. Not neccessarily that good a deal, however.It may be that the Kelly inheritance will continue as a result.

Mark my words.....you may get a result at this match.
