Jason Cundy destroys Leicester fan live on talkSPORT after ‘ridiculous’ Leeds United claim
Notwithstanding Leicester’s 11-point lead at the top of the Championship, Jason Cundy became enraged with a supporter of Leicester City live on talkSPORT after he stated he would like to be in Leeds’ shoes.
The supporter stated that they were tired of the football that Leicester was playing under Enzo Maresca, but Leicester had increased their lead at the top of the Championship after winning at Watford on February 10.
He stated that despite the distance between the two teams, he would prefer to be in Leeds’ shoes since, under Daniel Farke’s direction, they play enjoyable football.
During a live segment on talkSPORT on February 10, 19:10, Cundy provoked uproar by asking, “You’d rather be Leeds right now? Would you rather rank third? The supporter then answered Cundy’s query, saying, “It’s good football.”
The Leicester supporter then made an attempt to clarify, saying, “I know it sounds silly, but…” However, Cundy interrupted, saying, “No no, not silly, it’s completely absurd.” Not foolish.
Following the end of the call, Cundy asked, “Leeds United? Would he rather be at Leeds United than at Leicester at the moment? In response, Dean Saunders said, “It’s a windup.” They have scored 66 goals this season and allowed just 24.
Leeds United fans would happily swap places
Nine out of 10 Leeds supporters would likely say they would like to win the championship and return to the Premier championship if you asked them which would be preferable: playing attractive football or being 11 points ahead of the opposition at the top of the Championship?
They are currently one point behind Southampton at Elland Road, even though the Saints still have a game in hand. Especially considering the recent success Russell Martin’s team has had, promotion is not a guaranteed.
For all three of the clubs that were demoted at the end of the previous season, getting back into the Premier League at the first opportunity is their ultimate objective. Therefore, it is absurd to say that you would rather remain uncertain about that possibility and risk missing out on the playoffs than be at the top of the league.
Everyone expects the promotion race to be entertaining this year, with the exception of Leicester. Supporters of Leeds, Southampton, and Ipswich will be continuously anxious about their standing, while Foxes supporters can just kick back and enjoy the remainder of the season.
The potential of the infamously unpredictable playoffs at Elland Road means that fans will be desperate for that security and unwilling to give it up for “good football.”
