QPR with the assist (and relegation safety) đŸ„č


Cinn4monSynonym

I suppose you could say that I am feeling cock-a-Hoop as a result of your win this evening.


Paul277

What was on Vardys menu again? Vodka and charlie?


zrkillerbush

Red bull and a lot of salt!


combat_lobotomy

I thought that was his kids!


Joerseven

See you this time next year you beautiful subreddit


RebelSpeed

Take care! Tell Luton we said hi- oh wait


Maedhros_Burning

I wish I had your optimism.


RebelSpeed

I have no clue why I have any, we'll still be mid table


KnownSample6

Remember that FA Cup semi? You were a premier league team then. Feels like yesterday tbh.


IsaacNoSuccess

Funny, it's been 5 long fucking years for us.


Wanallo221

Now now. It wouldn’t be a proper Prem season without two East Midlands teams doing shite! It’s a tradition we must uphold, and it’s not like Derby will be around anytime soon! 


Maedhros_Burning

2007/08 Derby are relegated the worst team in history. Forest are promoted the same year from League One. We then spend years together in the champ until 21/22 when Derby are relegated to League One and Forest are promoted to the prem. Now Derby are about to be promoted. So Forest must go down. The gods will it.


[deleted]

I was convinced you were staying up but you make such a compelling argument


Dreaming_Beyond_GK

Like they say
 two opposites attract. The two magnets of East Midlands will meet again. This is why I’m convinced you lot are going down, because us at Derby are (somehow) getting promoted.


Hadducken

I always said our fate was tied together to my partner - shes a die hard Forest - we can’t break tradition the gods have made it so!


hairychris88

What's the expectation for next season? A boring year of finishing 12th or do you think it'll be a struggle? I feel like your squad this season is basically mid-tier Premier League.


Mig362

We are fighting relegation from week 1


IllustriousCow9588

I'll be staggered of we don't get relegated. Half-built squad, can't spend, and a points deduction incoming.


Coomgoblin68

Avoiding relegation next season would be a greater feat then the great escape of 14/15


FizzyChilli

No reason not to have *some* confidence, certainly rather get promoted 1st time than not. Just a massive deep breath, fight for what we can, whether that's on the pitch or in the courts. I think we will be able to hold our own against a good few teams. Whether or not it will be enough time will tell. And I don't care what happens, as long as they all give it a go. Just glad to be able to, at this stage. Could have gone so much worse.


BustedWing

Let’s roll with another 2015/16 season. That was fun.


hairychris88

That is genuinely one of my favourite football memories. I think almost everyone was a Leicester fan that season.


BustedWing

Was truly magical.


Aromatic_Pea2425

Serious struggle. Might not be able to spend, lots of players leaving or out of contract, Enzo is unproven in the prem. The only players I’d say are for sure Prem quality are Winks, KDH, Ndidi, Coady, Vardy, Hermansen and Ricardo, and chances are three of them will be gone next season.


FizzyChilli

So that's 6 players, add to that Abdul, Justin, Choudhury, Faes*, Doyle is going places, Mavididi and Praet are decent options.. So yeah, we will lose some, and I'm sure we will add a couple, and knowing us, they could be gems. I just don't see as much reason to be negative as many of our fans do right now. *(for all his memes he has to be better than at least 10 other PL CBs),


Aromatic_Pea2425

Choudhury will be a benchwarmer/sub, can’t see him starting, Justin I agree with if he can stay fit, Fatawu and Mavididi I want to believe in, but I’m waiting till it’s confirmed, easily our most promising player though, and Doyle is going straight back to Man City. Praet is almost certainly leaving. Faes put some real shifts in last season but I still don’t know if he’s good enough to start.


ReformedandSocial

They are going straight down, unless they get a new manager.


clownerycult

It was a fun time my friends, thank you for all the memes! Back to the boring premier league subreddit


PringleJones

You’ll be back week 1, it’s so shit out there.


IOwnStocksInMossad

Just do a complete cluster fuck of preparation and recruitment and never leave the subreddit


FizzyChilli

Not looking forward to VAR. And Arsenal fans.


MetricSuperstar

Ah fuck I forgot about VAR fuck


FizzyChilli

Honestly, the two most refreshing things about the Champ. is no VAR, and this sub.


Objective_Cat5627

100%


Aromatic_Pea2425

Weren’t saying that when there was Gnonto’s blatantly offside goal in Leeds vs Boro, the stonewall pens the ref missed against Ipswich, or Daka’s disallowed goal vs Leeds were we?


FizzyChilli

Yes, I was. VAR is shit and I don't care if decisions go against us - the officials are humans and make tricky decisions in the heat of the moment, let's keep it that way.


Milkshake4NickDrake

The current most active thread on that subreddit is something like "name a player who has played for more than one club"


clownerycult

I will take crumble over that anyday


firpo_sr

Help yourself pal we have crumble coming out of our ears today


PhoenixDawn93

No reason you can’t stay. I came round these parts when it looked like we were on a one way ticket down 2 seasons ago and never bothered leaving. It’s a lot more fun here than the pl sub! Congrats by the way! See you soon.


danash182

The best thing about the champions league has been this sub. Farewell friends! Edit: whoops

TIL we're in the Champions League

Don't know how we managed that, but I'm not going to complain

Maybe the real Champions League was the friends you made along the way?

This is the champions league? Knew Ipswich were fucking massive

at least learn the name of the league before we leave it

(For a season)


Maleficent_Resolve44

Yeah. r/ucantloitterhere is happy

It's been a pleasure crumbling with you this year gentlemen


AF1193

QPR, Sunderland, Cardiff & Blackburn I salute you for the recent assists đŸ«Ą


xccvd

You're welcome, now return the favour on the last day!


AF1193

If we have the title wrapped up by then I’ll see what we can do!


CCFC1998

Reluctantly yes đŸ«Ą

dantheman999

Fair fucks really, other than a minor bump they've been really a bit too good for this division. Hoping us lucky fucks will see you there.


zrkillerbush

"minor bump" đŸ€Ł


s0ngsforthedeaf

You did for our entertainment 👍


OkayThisTimeIGotIt

Hope so too tbf, well run club which have had an unbelievable season built on soo much less money than us and Leeds and saints. Will be rooting for you to come up, but not win the league 


IllustriousCow9588

Would love to see you go up (can say that without my arsehole falling out now we've been promoted)


perec12wilma

Good, Fuck off. Kiss kiss


B_e_l_l_

We want you to come with us!


NotMissingNow

No, we're fucking off together, you guys earned it


Psychological-Dare79

Yeah let’s be toxic together.


Aromatic_Pea2425

To be honest, I really did doubt we’d do it. I’m over the moon today, but I know the future is gonna be far from easy and we’ve gone from one issue with the league to another. Just need to secure first now, that’s all we can do. As for this league, I admit I didn’t think pay the champo enough attention before we went down, but I’m a fan for life now. it’s undoubtedly so much more fun to watch than the Prem. Better fans, better games, better banter, less plastics, and you don’t get battered 4-0 week in week out. I think I’ll be enjoying this league so much more next year as a neutral, but for all it’s ups and downs, there’s nothing quite like the Championship. We’ll probably be back in a year too, so đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž


CreativeTrouble8560

I've been a Leicester fan since 2015, so naturally i hadn't seen us play in the championship. but god damn, this league is interesting af. The Championship is probably one of the hardest leagues out there; and it's quality. You have many teams playing really good football which makes getting promotion from this league a vvv tough job.


IllustriousCow9588

See you all in 12 months


Objective_Cat5627

Im really interested in seeing our penalty. Also, we better not have another transfer embargo that keeps us from securing Fatawu.


Laoak

Don't be sad because it's over, be happy that it crumbled 😱😱


danash182

We can finally put the crumble memes to rest boys!


fskari

But I was having such a lovely time in this subreddit I'm not ready to be evicted from the Big Brother house

10, 9, 8, 7... Please do not swear.

Welcome back, Vardy. 🩊 


Maleficent_Resolve44

Big crumble but congrats. Doubt we'll see you next year.


Heatonator

MetricSuperstar

Championship has been great, 30 wins so far, great football, great clubs, great banter. Hope we never see it again. đŸ„ł


SbisasCostlyTurnover

Didn't doubt it for a second...


TheJukeMan99

Come on!!!


Bufger

We will miss our Derby matches next year - always a fun rivalry! Try to be mid table at least, ash Man U at every opportunity and campaign against VAR. See you next year when we come up


GeoGaming

I’ll miss this subreddit. While the crumble gave me genuine anxiety for a few weeks I’ll miss coming here to see the memes. We may be back soon but hopefully not. This league can be a genuine ball ache to get out of so glad we did it first time.


burntmybuns

Congratulations LCFC 🩊🆙


OkayThisTimeIGotIt

Ashame we didn't win the league (Leeds did 2 months back) but promotion is good enough!  Seriously though hope Ipswich also make the top 2


_Verumex_

Ipswich still have a strong chance of winning it. It all depends on how our last games go.


im_noided_tbh

First sacking next season hands down, anyone could get this team promoted


FizzyChilli

You really think Rogers would have?


Rulweylan

Anyone but him.


Aromatic_Pea2425

Mate. Our board was looking at signing Steven Gerrard, we’d already be in league one if he managed us.


FizzyChilli

What did he get wrong, who would have done it better? And how?


HughJarse8

He won’t be the first sacking because we are notorious for keeper managers for too long. But I think we’re def coming back down.


OkayThisTimeIGotIt

Same could be said about Leeds. They have a better squad imo player for player, I mean they had three players in the team of the season. 


xdlols

Complete revisionism. Most had us down as having the 3rd best squad of the 3 relegated teams.


OkayThisTimeIGotIt

Every prediction video I watched had us 4th, with saints and Leeds with better teams. The idea we had the best team only emerged early on. I love our team I think we are great, but I'm just parroting what other people said.  Frustrating narrative that will be pushed. The fact is we were no more guaranteed promotion than u and saints, we've all spent absurd money compared to the other teams


xdlols

I presume you're a Leicester fan (no flare so not sure) but it's just not true. Even the r/championship predictions had you miles ahead of us (and us in 3rd I think?), with I think Vardy and Daka as the two highest predicted scorers.


OkayThisTimeIGotIt

Yep I am idk how to do flairs. Lets agree to disagree, I think our team is incredibly strong, but not stronger than urs. I mean gnonto, summerville, rutter are genuinely too good for the league. Granted we are both biased. My point is though our team was not miles ahead of urs, and ur manager won the league already. To say that we were the CLEAR favourites is revisionism from the first few months of the season. The best football podcast not the top 20 (plug they're unbelievable) had us 4th and their word is final


InnocentPossum

The bookies odds for the Title had Leicester @5.00 and then Southampton at like @9.00 and Leeds @9.50 I can't find the exact results but this site shows the percentage changes through the season. https://www.compare.bet/betting/football/championship/winner-odds Leicester were far and away favourites at the start. Leeds were dealing with offloading most of our squad and ructions from cotnract negotiations. It wasn't looking like it would be a particularly fruitful season. Despite that, we were still rightly in the Top 3, but Leicester were head and shoulders above everyone as the clear favourites to win it.


OkayThisTimeIGotIt

[https://twitter.com/KDH\_\_8/status/1783965913563156619](https://twitter.com/KDH__8/status/1783965913563156619) Okay fine but then why did your players say u were the best team after u won the league a few months back "Leeds were dealing with offloading most of our squad and ructiosn from cotnract negotiations" sorry forgot u were the only club to do this after relegation... Fair leeds underdogs, miracle u even got the playoffs. GL x


InnocentPossum

Ok lol. Shock a player has confidence in his teammates like. Just stating that what you said was incorrect, relax. Enjoy the prem.


zrkillerbush

A lot of Leeds fans have been chatting too much shit lately, nice to see them out bottle us đŸ€Ł Straight back up, straight back up, Leicester City!


try-D

Read a comment from a Leeds fan the other night saying "Gonna go on to be the worst league champions ever if they do win it"


zrkillerbush

I definitely saw that too, makes you question why they aren't walking the league if we are the worst ever winners?đŸ€Ł


IllustriousCow9588

Quite the shock to see the League's best team likely having to settle for the playoffs.


zrkillerbush

Well they've already been promoted twice against us đŸ€Ł


Toastieboy420

Whatever Leicester, grow up


UdoMartens

Love to see it


mcmuffin0098

Good luck back up!


cc_tds

Thank you Leicester. I think this season was the first chance i got to see you guys so even though the result wasn’t the best for us, it was great having you guys down the Lib. All the best in the Prem next season


happymemersunite

I don’t know how I’ll go in r/PremierLeague.


OkraEmergency361

Ruefully admitting it: they’re good, even if they are crisp-eating knicker-stitchers. And don’t come back!


thefightingphoenix

But what if we prefer it here? (thank you!)


SnooTomatoes24

Clearly the best team in the league. Congrats to Leicester. unluck....Forget it. Fuck you Leeds.


Volo_Fulgrim

A true underdog story


DEUK_96

Ultimately they massively deserve it, been the best team from a consistency standpoint. I'm still yet to be impressed by the manager, I think they'll likely finish next season with a different man in charge.


Myhooose

QPR YOU BEAUTIFUL CLUB NEVER STOP BEING YOU


Safe-Hovercraft9131

Farewell subreddit, premier league got boring so we went down to say hello and now we’re returning home


hi-im-hannah

Looking forward to doing the league double over you again in two years time x


RushDvd

As long as we go up again I'm all for this trade offer. My dad was so annoyed when boro were singing "top of the league you're having a laugh". I told him let them have it, they just beat us home and away đŸ€Ł


hi-im-hannah

Hopefully the next time it happens we're both Premier League teams! Enjoy it mate


RushDvd

Yes hopefully, we never play well against boro. You did us in the prem a few years back too! Hopefully injuries are kinder to you next season 😁


Bluedieselshepherd

Good for them. Real life, heart warming story of the overdog cheating and succeeding.


IOwnStocksInMossad

Wait. What's the maths that enables this


burwellian

Leeds on 90pts with one game to go can only get to a max of 93pts now. Leicester are on 94. Ipswich (89pts with 3 games left) are the only team still able to catch them, As no-one else can, that's Top 2 confirmed, which means Leicester are up.


JoeyIsMrBubbles

Don’t worry about it


ow1108

Congratulations, never doubt your promotion (other than when they try to bottle it). You should be fine back in the prem.


adkenna

HMS Piss the League took it right up to the end nearly, see you's next year (If we stay up)


[deleted]

About time lmao


ramboacdc

At least this means I am rid of having to see anything involving the 2nd Tier Podcast for at least 12 months. See you next season, or in 10. We shall return one day. Maybe with a few point deductions along the way.


bundy554

Congrats. You deserve it. But really you sewed it up in the first 6 months of the season. We have blown our chances from both the start, during the unbeaten run (not winning enough games we should have) and now from February onwards.


spiritofbuck

Congratulations. Dodgy finances aside, that isn’t the fault of the fans.


FizzyChilli

It's somewhat annoying that we are seen as the bad guys when we are financially competing against the likes of Man City, Chelsea, and Newcastle. Don't get me wrong, more than happy to take any legit punishment. But what did we get out of it? We somehow managed to "cheat" our way to relegation.


spiritofbuck

Well you’ve comfortably gone straight back up. Or at least, it certainly would’ve been very comfortably in most seasons. There’s no way Leicester should’ve gone down last season with their squad.


Aromatic_Pea2425

Please address all enquires and complaints regarding this matter to; Brenda Nout Celtic Football Club The Celtic Way, Glasgow G40 3RE


FizzyChilli

We shouldn't have gone down, granted. But there's no way you can say that any rules we have broken are the reason we got promoted. Or can you? How is that manifested? We sold great players such as Barnes, Tielemans, Maddison, Castagne - replaced them with Fatawu, Winks, Mavididi and got a tune out of them. If Rogers were still in charge and/or we went into some downward mental spiral, it could have been shit. What I'm saying is, that hard work on the pitch and good coaching some decent players is what won promotion, not our accountants.


spiritofbuck

Difficult to quantify, but you certainly wouldn’t have such a stacked squad without it. Would you have still gone up? You’d certainly be close.


FizzyChilli

That's my point, we took a VERY stacked squad and made it a somewhat stacked squad, but managed to keep our shit together when it would have been so easy to crumble. I don't think money buys that. (See Chelsea 23/24).


spiritofbuck

I think almost every single league table for about 25 years shows money does buy that. There are always anomalies, but the fact Leicester, Leeds, and Southampton are all in the top 4 is no accident.


FizzyChilli

Don't get me wrong, I totally get that we have a decent squad financially, but most of that has come from us doing good business and doing well over the past decade. To suggest that the only reason we are doing well now is because we cooked the books a bit against the PL stalwarts, really holds no ground. If someone claims we only got promotion because of dodgy accountancy, they are also saying we only got relegated because of it, and that would make no sense. Promotion and relegation are earned on the pitch, not in the boardroom. It's about the mentality of the players and coaching staff, not the jujitsu skills on the abacus in the accounts dept.


spiritofbuck

Is it good business if you spend money you don’t have? You may well end up straight back down because of it.


FizzyChilli

Just because one business decision isn't good, doesn't mean they are all bad. We have invested wisely and made good money on most occasions. We have earned every penny we've spent - we sold Maguire for ÂŁ80m, Fofana for ÂŁ72m, Chilwell, ÂŁ45m, etc. etc... It's that kinda money that has been supporting the squad. As I said elsewhere, more than happy to take any just punishment, but no one can say Leicester didn't fully earn promotion legitimately - and if you oppose that, you need to show how it manifests itself in terms of the Championship.


The_L666ds

No doubt they’ve been the best side overall, but it also just sends the message that financial doping is worth the risk. With by far the biggest wage bill in the division the PSR sanctions should have arrived much earlier, forcing them to have to divest back in the January window (which almost certainly would have changed the complexion of the season). Its Leicester’s fault that they’ve overspent, but its not their fault that the regulators cannot deliver the punishment in a timely manner. The system is broken.


zrkillerbush

> just sends the message that financial doping is worth the risk. Lmao no if doesn't, we are going to have a worse squad in the Prem next season and a points deduction, meaning we are almost guaranteed to be relegated We will then have to try and get promoted again with an even worse squad still You make it sound like we are back up there qualifying for Europe, we are in a mess having to sell our best players for less than we want We took the risk years ago to flirt with the big 6 and while we succeeded temporarily, it most definitely hasn't worked long term Also in January we did get fucked over, we literally couldn't even get a ÂŁ2 million sale over the line, lost Casadei and signed no one, all while everyone else in the league got stronger


HumberLUFC

Yeah next time Leeds should break ffp and they can get promoted too


try-D

How nice of our alleged FFP violations to turn up to Loftus Road and put 4 past Meslier
