There should not be a single boo heard for any performance at Leicester because of what the club gave those fans.

Just doing that.

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 certainly won their group stage and they were only knocked out by the skin of their teeth by one of Spain's giants, Atletico Madrid, in the quarterfinals.

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.

So if they have started having an opportunity to boo their team, it's only in the last year or 18 months.

So what kind of a test of their loyalty have they been presented with?

Just about zero.

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

Maybe even punching above their weight, but the good times that they gave...

the club gave those fans far outweigh what we've enjoyed at Pompey.

And yet, and yet, up and down the country, we are seen as the loyalist, we are seen as the loudest, we are seen as the most characterful, we are seen as the most persistently optimistic crowd in the country.

And for some guy to come on and say that he thinks that the Leicester fans and Pompey fans are neck and neck...

in terms of how they sing when they're winning and boo when they're losing.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely false statement and a weak piece of journalism.

So there you are.
