There's always great excitement in our house on a Saturday. It's Footie day! Today has been no exception. The visit of Newcastle Utd could have been the most depressing day of the year so far. The game started so well and we all thought Leicester City were on the verge of something big. Then the ref decides to cut us down to ten men. Here we go again. Another one lost. But Newcastle hadn't bargained on the determination of the LCFC players. Nor had we, if I'm honest. Up against great adversity the lads stuck together and didn't give up. It was a wonderful spectacle. Probably the best display of togetherness we have witnessed this season.
No matter what the likes of Wayne Routledge and Andy Carroll threw at the lads, no matter how many times the ref waved away Leicester's complaints, claims for free kicks and a penalty, no matter how many times the Newcastle players chopped down the Leicester players without so much as a word of warning from the officials, and no matter how many times our players were booked for transgressions ignored by the ref when committed by Newcastle players, the magnificent 11 of Leicester City carried on to the bitter end.
For us fans it was a just result. A Newcastle win would have been so unfair in the face of such determination and bravery, team spirit and togetherness.
I am proud to call myself a Foxes Fan. Today the team showed us all and the world just what that meant.
