You're not going to be booing them, are you, all the way off the pitch, ever.
that memory should live in their minds for decades.
There should not be a single boo heard for any performance at Leicester because of what the club gave those fans.
And the following year, I think if I'm right, they got to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
They won their group stage without, I don't think, conceding a goal.

They've had their share of tragedy, we know.
We won't go there, and we sympathise with them for that, but that is not a matter for showing a lack of loyalty to the club.
Yes, they've had some bad times very recently, with relegation and with being docked points for financial irregularities.

It's all big-time success, good stuff.
