You know what’s cool? Being so good that you go 17 points clear, let the others come back for a laugh and then just go up early anyway.
I love this football club so much 🦊💙

BREAKING: Leicester City have been promoted back to the Premier League 🦊
The Foxes take an automatic promotion spot without kicking a ball after Leeds were beaten 4-0 by QPR.
They’re back 👊
If I was a league at risk of becoming boring because the same team is winning it every year, I would probably try and remember the greatest ever title win in its history… but that’s just me 🤔

In 2021 I saw my football team win the FA Cup. 🏆
In 2022 I saw my rugby team win the Premiership. 🏆🏆

Had a brilliant night at the
#LCFC
end of season awards last night 🦊
It was great to see the squad mingling and chatting with the fans.
On that note, I’d have been letting my old man down if I didn’t have a pint and picture with his favourite player of all time 🐐
Jamie Vardy replaced by Mavididi.
Injured for the whole of pre-season. Decides sod it, tells Cooper to play him even if he's half fit. Scores and completely changes the game. All at 37 years old.
That's why he's the GOAT 🐐

What a night 🦊💙

Just the worst news to read.
Craig Shakespeare really was one of the most loved Leicester City figures in recent years, giving us some incredible memories both as manager and assistant, doing it all with a smile on his face. A true gent of the game.
RIP Shakey 💙🦊
Some very sad news to bring you this evening 🦊
Former Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare, who led The Foxes to the Champions League quarter-finals and was assistant boss during their title-winning season, has died aged 60.
All of our thoughts are with his family.
🔵 Leicester City 4-2 OH Leuven ⚪️
Vardy 9’, Praet 63’, Albrighton 91’, McAteer 126’.
Leicester played another friendly behind closed doors at Seagrave today. They played three periods of 45 minutes. I’ve put together some notes of what we saw.

Thread ⬇️
If McAteer bags today, I'm trusting the Leicester fans to sing 'Oh he'll score I swear, Ohhhhh Kasey McAteer' to the tune of Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi. Don't let me down.

No matter how frustrated you are about a City result or performance, just know tweeting unjust hate ain’t on. Especially when it’s aimed at a decent bloke doing a brilliant job under intense circumstances. Write a journal if you can’t keep it in ffs. Do some yoga n chill out.
Beyond honoured to be on commentary duty tonight for the

Most lads dream of playing football. I was never that good, so I dreamed of being a commentator. The fact I get to do it for my club feels pretty special.
I hope I do the Blue Army proud 💙
Leicester band Easy Life, after being sued because of that name by EasyGroup, have rebranded and come back as… Hard Life.
Simple, but effective. You love to see it! LEICESTERSHIRE LA LA LA! 🎶
Every sub tonight has been sponsored by ‘Burton Doggy Day Care’. So obviously the Leicester fans are chanting “there’s only one doggy day care”. 🐶
I love this club.

I can’t remember my exact words on the When You’re Smiling podcast last week, but they were something along the lines of “I can’t wait to see Harry Winks’ happy face when he scores his first goal”…

In my professional opinion as a serious sports journalist I have come to the assessment that Conor Coady looks like he gives really good hugs. More on this as we get it.
I've told
@OwynnPA
that if Vardy comes on and scores the winner tonight then he's got to call it as 'it's Devon... it's Heaven for Jamie Vardy' otherwise I quit.

Self indulgent tweet but sod it! This week I’ve presented afternoons today, 3 breakfast shows AND my club

in the Premier League and a European semi final. Life feels good right now and I dunno, reckon that’s worth celebrating with a yeast smoothie or two?! Happy Friday xxx
25 years ago today I was mascot when City played Sunderland in the League Cup semi final at Filbert St 🦊
Today back I’m at King Power Stadium as

I’ll never take it for granted 💙

This is a Brandon Cover appreciation post 🦊
The team are struggling so far but he is looking really strong on debut and properly confident on the ball in that tough Ricardo role. Arguably the hardest position in the Enzo Maresca side.
Baller.

Might have a wee beer to celebrate x
I’ve been living dream this season. Presenting the City match day coverage has been unreal, and I couldn’t have done it without the help and support of these lads. Who knows what the future holds, but I’ve loved it so far. Up the City! ⚽️💙
In the press box at Welford Road I’m currently sat between Tom Varndell and Chris Ashton. Between the three of us we have 193 Premiership tries. Incredible.
What the keyboard warriors don’t realise is that not only is Owynn commentating at the moment, but he’s working his arse off behind the scenes every day to make sure the City coverage stays at the top level it is. He’s a champion and brilliant at his job. Don’t forget that mate💙
Hinckley station rammed today. Half going to Radio 2 in the Park, the rest going over to Trent Bridge for the One Day Cup final.
Leicester is the place!
Ipswich draw! City can win the title at Preston on Monday 👀
Judging on this promotion hangover, I’m not sure I’ll be ready for a title one just yet!

After 2 years, I’ve tested positive for Covid. My saint of a mam dropped me some food round, including a ‘treat’ rotisserie chicken. Tonight I’ve ate the whole thing, drank wine and watched Below Deck. Honestly, I dunno if I’ll bother going out on a Friday night again. Class.
Tough day, but there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing this evening. I promise to continue being as daft as I normally am.
Come join in the fun,
@BBCLeicester

Taking a moment to shout out the lad
@OwynnPA

You wouldn’t know it from comms tonight, but he’s struggling with the worst tooth pain known to man. But he’s here, powered through and again done a top job. Give him some love ahead of his emergency dentist appointment tomorrow 💙
A true City great 🦊💙
I can't remember ever being happier to see a player score than when Andy King bagged against Everton on the day we lifted the Premier League trophy 🏆
To be there through all three divisions and still contributing, iconic. Happy retirement, Kingy.

Standing ovation for Marc Albrighton as he comes out to warm up.
The Blue Army would love to see him get on today for what you think would be the last time in a City shirt.

Probably not worth a 🚨, but after nearly 3 years of chatting to my favourite bands on Monday and Tuesday evenings, tonight is my last 7-10pm show on
@BBCLeicester
. I’ll miss it a lot, but I’m buzzing to get more involved with the
@BBCRLSport
team. Let’s do it one last time! 📻💙
So excited to say I’ve managed to trick the bosses at
@BBCLeicester
into giving me my first regular show. From the 27th I’ll be on every Saturday from 6am. (AM!) Should be starting this weekend but I’ve decided to be a diva presenter and have got it off for my birthday. S’AV IT!
Love seeing how
@Madders10
interacts with folk around the KP, whether it's other players, staff or fans. After a photo with

he stopped to properly say hello and chat. I know everyone should have manners but still great to see, always goes that bit above.

Back in 2002, me Dad snuck 10 year old me in to see the 12 rated Spider-Man at the pictures, making me feel cool af.
Today, aged 32, we’re off to see it on the big screen again.
There’s a lot of negative energy about at the minute, I’m gonna celebrate life’s little wins.
One of my mates has brought his lad for his first City game tonight. He's done very well there, bit better than the 1-0 against Barnsley I had in '98!

Listened to the game today as I’m not there and honestly,

Some people on Twitter baffle me. Someone posts innocently saying how good
#LCFC
were today, and yet some people still reply saying ‘x player wasn’t that great’ or ‘such and such didn’t do much’. We’ve just won 5-0! Have a day off the moaning surely.
Just to add to my love of

Oh Abdul, you’ve gone and done it. You’re never supposed to, but here we are. I’m madly in love with a loan player 😍🦊
