Last thing the players must have felt like on the back of a home defeat was hauling themselves back out again for a Lap Of Appreciation. But they did it, fair play to them, for the benefit of the fans. On a sunny saturday bank holiday afternoon. And after the pitifully small number of fans who stuck around to applaud them and their families they must wish they hadn't bothered.

Utterly shameful by the Leicester 'fans'

Can’t imagine that happening at the Amex can you?, Two seasons after winning the League and folding completely since they played us when a European place was there for the taking? :smile:

Fans don’t like players who stop trying.

Did you watch the televised Everton match last night?

Exactly the same there.

Plus BFS didn’t come at all. Probably because 4/5 of those left were ready to abuse him.

And Shakespeare. Something rotten at that club.

Winning the PL has turned their fanbase into a miserable bunch who think they should be a top 7 club, whilst playing expansive football with goals galore.

Totally unrealistic, only ManC, Liverpool and Spurs are achieving both at present.

Ironic that the once in lifetime title, caused this angst.

Majority of Leicester fans think they should be a Top Six team or at least targeting Arsenal's place.

Also they think they are entitled to lengthy cup runs.

I think you may be looking into the wrong end of the telescope. Leicester are a lower half PL side. They have Mahrez who, rather like Knockaert, was a modest player before coming to the UK. They have a number 9 who was begging to be loaned back to his old club, Fleetwood, a few years ago. And, after surviving a relegation miracle, they won the bloody premier league. WTF was that all about? Then they slipped back to where they belong. They are not bloody Barcelona!

Exactly. They are bang average and it wouldn't take the loss of many players to ensure they were in a relegation battle. They were rubbish at the Amex and got very lucky, but palace demonstrated just how poor they can be.

Tangentially, was anyone else surprised no Man U fans stayed around for Albion's lap of appreciation? I know we're not their team, but most years there are a good chunk of away fans that stay and applaud the players out of respect, but the united end was completely empty.

This.

Leicester have spent huge sums on players since the title TO TAKE THEM TO THE NEXT LEVEL, but in the main those players haven’t lived up to expectations.

When they've mostly travelled such a short distance, most wanted to be home for half ten.

Looked like a few were going to, but the questionable 20-25min delay saw them all off. Don't blame them, was late and they had a long trip back up to Surrey ahead.
