When I first read the post. I thought it said 'will Leicester have slappers this weekend'
That's my dyslexic kicking in.

Do they educate kids in Leicester or are they just a bit stupid? They think the HMV empire is showing the Leicester game as a one off.

Their schools have been struggling since decimalisation came in- can't count things on their fingers as much now.

They came up with that crap last time too.
At least they're consistent.

3-0 win - we'll get an early goal, the natives won't be happy, quiet as always and start to leave when we get our 2nd around the 65th min. 3rd goal at the death and an joyous casual stroll back to the car, smug as fuck

The things I've seen in Leicester that'd make your hair curl. Glad you're taking precautions though.

Don't be shy.
Air that dirty laundry.
Real or imagined.
If we're willing to imagine everyone in Leicester has 6 finger hands, we're gullible for anything.

I guess Leicester is a dump and so is Coventry, but at least our county is nice. The West Midlands is grim as you’re not part of Warwickshire anymore.

Their goalie looks shite from what I’ve seen.

And what I mean by that is that I’ve seen one highlight from weekend and decided he’s shite.

I dunno. All of the non-inbreds in the county were exiled to Rutland I heard.

wow, that is an interesting line of insults

You're from Hinckley ain't you? Your county thinks you are basically from the West Midlands anyway.

It's groundhog day. Our 6 fingered friends got all excited about this the last couple of times we played them.

I sincerely hope they are apathetic towards us tbh - Cause if we are more up for it on Saturday we will beat them

I won't hide it, I hate them, never old enough to see us play The Villa so for my generation this is our big grudge game - They are Shitehawks who have cheated and financially doped their way to any success they have ever had - couldn't stand the media love in around them when they were good, couldn't stand the Vardy's and couldn't stand Lineker's smug face when they won the league

It's the game I want to win the most out of any fixture we play

Was hoping to make this one - had a great time in 2023 despite the result - but got a, shall we say, stern reminder from the better half that Saturday is my sister-in-law's wedding. Feeling confident we can get the three points and looking forward to surreptitiously checking the score on my smart watch.

Weird line of attack. Coventry is geographically in Warwickshire, obviously. It's a nice county.

We’re only their rivals when they’re not sure if they can beat us, or not.

Keep their decent players under wraps, they’re very beatable.

Good luck with that! I had to take my daughter to a soft play for a 4 yr olds party on Sunday. ALL of the dads were literally lined up against a wall watching the Pompey v Saints match whilst all the mums tended to the kids!

Warwickshire is also much nicer than Leicestershire.

That 3-1 win (on my birthday might I add) was one of Robins' finest moments for me. O'Hare too. It seems a lot longer than 20 months ago somehow.

Reading their forum they really are a weird bunch
They pretend to not care but sing a song about us.
They go on like it's our big day out when we sell out away games more often than not.
They go on about how it's a much bigger game for us but they'll absolutely hate it if we should turn them over in their own back yard.
Basically for me it's a local derby which should have an edge and both sets of supporters should give more than a fuck about it.

Depends where they're based I guess, the ones living nearer to Coventry will care more about it than the ones nearer to Nottingham or Derby

One of the best games we've had at the CBS imo. Especially the atmosphere when the third goal went in

It doesn't matter where you're from , there's 17 miles between us, we're rivals and it's a local derby

It's such weird behaviour from them.

One or two clinging on to Forest knowing full well Derby will always be their main rivals.

2-1 Cov win. Leicester have good individual talents but they're not playing their best stuff at the moment. Lock their wingers down and they don't have much to offer. If you want a look into some deeper stats on their playstyle so far this season give the below a watch...

I get it is a short career and you have got to do what you have got to do, that he has gone on to bigger and better things now and he still shows his appreciation to us

But I don't think I will ever be able to look past Maddison pulling on their shirt, should be celebrated as the crown jewel in our academy and a proper Cov kid come good but I will never be able to accept him playing for them, I would probably be willing him on like Vik if he hadn't

And it would seem in Monga they took advantage of our turmoil and poached another one from under our noses - He should be playing for us

It genuinely does. You go up to a Castle Donnington, Melton Mowbray, Shepshed etc and they couldn't give a fuck about us. But somewhere like Broughton Astley, Cosby, Whetstone and definitely 'Incklay! etc and it's game on. It would make their season if they beat us.

I class it as derby and would love nothing more to beat them (live in Burbage), but where you are from in Leicestershire is a huge factor on the importance of this game.

So they'd want to beat us any less than they would forest?

The West Midlands ceased to exist as a functioning county in 1986.

Coventry is part of Warwickshire in all but name only
