Agree with everyone word and i a prepared to share our one true love with you and every other Fox.
We have now a gauge that every other team we watch has to measure up to and woe betide those don't measure up.
Probably the best article I've ever read Dunge - thanks for sharing.
I felt exactly the same when Russia scored. I just sat back, turned to my wife and said - typical England. I didn't even get annoyed.
It is worth pointing out that we were decent in our play, we just had nobody capable of doing anything in the final 3rd. Lallana and Sterling have lass end product than Lloyd Dyer and Kane just isn't an effective hold up striker.
Watching him face Rooney for the whole game and either give the ball away or manage to draw a foul on occasion is a waste. He was never in the 6 yard box when our wingers were forward - why? It looks like he was told to do a role that doesn't suit him.
I don't know what the answer is though. I thought the team selection was right. We were just bang average as always.
I agree the lack of fight is embarrassing though. That is what make the Leicester team we've just witnessed. Seeing the passion Bale has for playing in the Weldh team is to be admired. We need some of that passion transplanted in to our pathetic excuse for players.
Here here. Spot on. Exactly my sentiments
Brilliantly sums it up Dunge and yes, the mural is awesome, surely it must be one of the modern wonders of the world!
I've been down a few times as its progressed, great that Marks firstly allowed him to start but then funded him to complete the whole team.
Such a good piece Dunge. That mural really made the season so memorable for me. I hope no moron like the ones in France deface this as it should stand for many years as a tribute to a great team & a great season. I wanted to give a donation to charity for the privilege of looking at this, probably Rainbows or the Foxes Foundation, but there was no facility to do so.
As you say the England 'team' let the game slip through their fingers with no fight to say that they really want to win this competition. As we've found out team spirit, heart & brotherhood go a long way to winning matches. England had none.
But , hey everyone, go & see the fantastic mural while the season is fresh in your hearts - it'll bring a tear to your eye!
Bang on Dunge - totally agree with Mersey and would go so far as to say that this is a "Carling" type article - "Probably the best article in the world!"
Brilliantly summing up what the last season has meant to Leicester City supporters and all through last night's match I was comparing the England team's performance with how Leicester's players would have approached the game.
Thanks for posting this - the final paragraph made my chest swell with pride and brought a tear to my eye!
I'm printing your words off to paste into my "Fossils & Foxes" book. Absolutely brilliant!
I also think this is the best article I have read on this board. Do we have any awards? My feelings when the Russian goal went in were- ha ha, this is what happens, uncle Woy, when you leave out Vards and Drinky!
Great post Dunge
I can't pretend to really care that much about England. I find it difficult to find any sort of connection with them, with the players or fans. It's not even a case of 'club before country' - it's club first and everything, country nowhere. I feel nothing when I watch England, nothing at all.
In all honesty, I felt more British pride watching Wales than I did England. With Wales, you can feel the passion and the desire. It's also a great story, from the rise of Gareth Bale (a former Leicester target!) to the sad death of Gary Speed. There's a real fairy tale aspect of Wales' story - same with Northern Ireland - and it's something England don't have.
In all reality, I will probably find myself secretly supporting Wales on Thursday.
That was the most amazing passage of written word my eyes have ever had the privilege of witnessing.
I thought, when I read the works of Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Dosdyevski and Katie Price that I had witnessed the pinnacle of articulation of the human spirit.
I have literally had to change my trousers after reading this post - such was its quality. If there was a prize for greatest human being that ever walked the earth - it would be given to Dunge. Or maybe Jesus. But probably Dunge.
Dunge .... It would great to get the opportunity to meet you one day so I can touch you somewhere. I'm not sure where yet but I definitely think it should be above the knee.
Do you do any kind of meet up with your fans? Can I book you for say 10 minutes? It would be just me, you and Arro (who I also have to book apparently....)
Good piece dungeon. This season may take years to sink in and the mural can always be a place to go as a reminder - though I've not had the privilege of seeing it for real yet.
As for England, well I gave up years ago. When Russia scored I just didn't care. If that had been against Leicester I'd of been distraught and in a foul mood all week even if it was in April and we were in 10th. I mean I was eating pringles and chocolate biscuits throughout the game, the very thought of doing that during a Leicester game would have me chucking up.
Wales did remind me of us and NI to a lesser extent probably will to
Power of positivity. Wales are a team with a goal and a vision that they believe in. One cause all of them are working towards and a belief that with a special player like Bale anything can happen. Leicester had that same attitude. It's not just the team, their whole country is behind them. France have that same kind of vibe aswell.
England have a good young team, but they seem fractured and divided. They lack belief and don't want the responsibility of expectation.

Interesting sock collection
BlackStarr, I can safely say that you would be thoroughly disappointed in real life.
And Adler, I would rather describe my sock collection as majestic and charismatic.
