Leicester Fans Prepare to Troll Spurs With Epic Flag Taking the Piss Out of Their 3rd Place Finish

Published on: 26 October 2016

Leicester City supporters have prepared a choice-worded banner for their trip to White Hart Lane this weekend.


After the two clubs were unexpectedly left battling in what seemed like a two horse race for the title last season, Tottenham fell apart in the latter stages of the campaign, whilst Leicester roared on to win the Premier League against all odds.


Spurs' slide began when they let a two-goal lead disappear at Stamford Bridge, where they eventually drew 2-2. Another draw against West Brom took any chance of a league title away from Mauricio Pochettino's men.

Such was the extent of Tottenham's regress that they eventually finished third behind bitter rivals Arsenal, when for all the world it looked like they would at leastsecure the North London bragging rights for 2015/16.


They capped a dismal last quarter of the season with an embarrassing5-1 defeat away at Newcastle United.


The Leicester fans' banner rubs salt in the sore wound of last season's finish, even including the top three of the table on the left, just incase any Spurs supporters may have forgotten.

Fortunes have somewhat changed, though, since the madness of May. Spurs have started this season unbeaten and look as strong, if not stronger thanthey did last campaign.


Meanwhile, Leicester have something of a title hangover. Languishing in 12th place, they have already suffered heavily at the hands of Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, and the taunting banner is ill-advised on current form.
