Being a Leicester City fan isn’t a happy hobby right now.
13 defeats in the last 14 Premier League games has all but confirmed the Foxes’ relegation to the Championship.
Ruud van Nistelrooy refuses to change his style, and give up, in the quest to stay up but given that Leicester are nine points off safety with as many games to play, it feels unlikely.
Most of the game saw Manchester United fans mock Jamie Vardy in their comfortable 3-0 win on Sunday, whilst sections of the Leicester fan base held a banner directed towards Jon Rudkin.
There’s a feeling of anger and apathy around the King Power Stadium and nothing summed that up more than two specific moments.

Leicester City fans sarcastically cheer two chances
Goals are non existent for Van Nistelrooy’s side right now.
Leicester wrote themselves into the record books by becoming the first top flight team to lose seven home games in a row without scoring, as well as conceded over 1000 goals quicker than anyone else.
In fact, they haven’t seen a goal full stop since the 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur on 26 January.
That’s why when Vardy tapped the ball into an empty net during a pause in play, those home fans still inside the ground sarcastically cheered.
They repeated the cheers in stoppage time too when Harry Winks’ long-range effort was easily dealt with by Andre Onana.
Even though it’s bringing some sort of humour to a sorry state of affairs, it shows just how desperately bad things are.
Damning stat goes viral as Leicester’s woes in front of goal continue
By the time Leicester’s next home game comes around, (Newcastle United on 7 April), there is every chance that Foxes fans would’ve waited four months to see a goal at the King Power Stadium.
When droughts like this happen, people start to find the weird and wonderful things that have happened in that time, or since the last time they scored.
In Leicester’s case, the last time they scored a goal, Joe Biden was still officially the President of the United States of America.
Let’s just hope that Leicester’s next goal comes before the next US President is elected.
