Leicester journalist slaughters Robbie Savage for jumping on the team’s bandwagon

Sorry Sav, it's too late to jump on this bandwagon.

Robbie Savage has been called out on his perceived attempt to jump on the Leicester City bandwagon. The Foxes were tipped to be certainties for relegation at the start of the season, but are currently clear the top of the Premier League. With each passing week belief in their ability to win the title becomes stronger, but there's one convert who's not welcome aboard the Leicester bandwagon: Robbie Savage. That's the view of Leicester Mercury journalist James Sharpe, who has called out the former Foxes midfielder for dramatically changing his tune on their chances of glory, and referring to Claudio Ranieri's side as "we." '"They can't win it! Of course they can't!" he (Savage) scoffed as jubilant City fans phoned in (to BBC radio) after yet another victory, without giving much of a reason why they couldn't, other than shouting 'they just can't' over the top of anyone with half a reasoned argument,' Shapre writes. https://twitter.com/RobbieSavage8/status/695999606862254080?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

'Now, he appears to have changed his tune. It has taken 25 games, 15 wins, victory at Manchester City and a five-point lead at the top but, finally, Robbie is on the bus.' ''Oh my oh my oh my Leicester City we are going to win the league,' tweeted self-proclaimed Leicester 'legend' Robbie Savage. 'Hang on a minute. Wait. What was that? 'I read it again: "We are going to win the league."'"We?" 'Since when did Leicester City and Robbie Savage become a we? 'I don't remember there being much of a 'we' when you came back to the Walkers after your move to Birmingham and kissed the new badge after they scored. 'Where was the 'we' when you bowed in front of the Derby fans when you came back here with the Rams in 2009? 'And I certainly don't remember 'we' being very close to your heart when I interviewed you ahead of Leicester's game against Derby in the Capital One Cup a couple of years ago. 'I asked you who you wanted to win. You said Derby.'

However, Savage took the column in good spirit. Proving once again the former Strictly Come Dancing dancer has skin as thick as rhinoceros, and doesn't seem to care what people say about him, as long as he's being talked about. https://twitter.com/RobbieSavage8/status/697797899179065344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Savage tweeted this photo to Sharpe, with a message for his mother, who was a fan of Robbie back when he played for the Foxes.
