    I disagree. I think most fans of smaller clubs would give an arm for a semi final visit to the Stadio Olympico. Especially those who've never had an opportunity for a European away day.

    I think it's just typical English arrogance personally. Same as the way most think of the Europa - West Ham showing how it should be done for the non fancied clubs.

    Outside of Leicester you've got Roma, Marseille and Feyernoord and I'd personally love a trip to either. Hardly the postmen of Europe is it.

    There may be some who would prefer to finish 17th in the PL but they don't follow the same sport as me.

    Furthest I can remember back as a kid, was Ron Harris I think it was lifting the ECWC for Chelsea, and Leeds I think won the Fairs Cup, not sure about European Cup winners around that time, probably Real Madrid, too early for Forest. Aside from Celtic and Man Utd, not many British clubs did much in the EC until the late 70's (I think).

    I’m one of those fans you are talking about and it’s not arrogance, I have been fortunate a to see my club in Europe.
    I still wouldn’t swap it for either stability or promotion.

    It's OK ... but having been in the Champions League and the Europa league (4 times) during the Prem era, it's hardly a new experience for us ...

    Have you heard of The Champions League? <whistle>

    My 1st memory of football was my dad taking me to my 1st game in the early 80's vs millwall.

    I just remember getting beat and nothing has ever really changed since really.

    They played in it, long before Leicester, so I guess that would be a yes <whistle>
    You do also realise you’re trying to take the piss out of a club which sits 9th in English clubs honours list, where do Leicester sit?

    School trip to the zoo and one of the lads ended up in the cage with the monkeys.

    **** knows how it happened but all hell broke loose and we were back on the coach and out of there about 20 mins later.
