I honestly don't think I've ever seen a player look less interested than Mavadidi today.

The amount of mistakes as in who the batsman is, who is bowling etc, that Whitty makes is embarrassing. Shows a lack of cricket knowledge whenever I've heard him, usually in the 20/20s. Much prefer Rae, but i suspect if it will be Whitty taking over, he will be cheaper option. More likely though, is Radio Leicester will use the opposition county's commentator

Your going home like sandy Richardson. Forest sing I don't know why, cos after the match, theyre gonna die. Over there, over there, and do they smell, like f**kin hell. It's not fair, not fair, yeah yeah, not fair. (Jilted john) while chucking and dodging flying coins against West Ham We are Evil, we are Evil! Far more banter between the home and away fans back in the day. Then their was the songs we would sung to opposing players. My personal favourite being to Peter Shilton, after he had been in the papers the weekend before, after being caught playing away in his car with a lady called Tina in a secluded spot allegedly. We played Forest the next week, and Shilton was serenaded with chants of. Tina,Tina, Tina. Followed by the song, He shot his cum all over Tina's bum, in his car, in his car. In his car. Then a few years later, 1987 at Southampton, with Shilton in goal for them, there was a guy in our end, that was constantly chanting Tina Tina Tina, at Shilton when he was down our end. Happy days!

Well from what he said there, it was the club that screwed him over not Ranieri. Secondly him keeping his "schedule" every day by going in, but not training, or at least not training properly shows himself to have been unprofessional. He was still being paid as part of a contract, so that was poor from him. Thirdly the club was right to not leave their selves short with the African nations coming up, and rather than spew any more money on a striker as bad as Slimani, they wanted to keep Ulloa, who had been a good option in the past. Finally, given that Slimani was a donkey, and a waste of money, maybe if ulloa had been professional, and worked and trained hard, you know, actually work for the money his contract paid him, he might have been able to play ahead of Slimani. Very disappointing from Ulloa, who I've always liked, and had respect for.

Although Talkshite did say last night, that all 20 Premier league clubs passed last seasons psr?

Don't know if this is right or not, although I did hear on talkshite last night that all 20 premier league clubs had complied with psr for 24/25. Wasn't clear if the included the relegated clubs from last season though.

Ayew ahead of Richards in what is now a meaningless cup game. Wow how crap must Richard's be in training!!

I'm guessing the D stands for demoted, not sure about the S Maybe Success?

Nothing changes if nothing changes! Just more of the same! Might as well have left Marti in charge until they got their new manager. Very disappointing!

Looked really good when coming on. Pick of the young ones coming through. He looks to be getting better and better, with the more minutes he gets.

Manager clearly doesn't rate Evans.

Bournemouth hoping to get Nwaneri on loan for the rest of the season. Whether Arsenal will okay it is another matter, but would make sense from Bournemouth's point of view. Buying in January is generally a higher price, and especially given that everyone knows they've just received 62 million quid. We would probably get more for Fatawu this month from someone desperate than we will in the summer though. It's just whether anyone's desperate enough.

Stoke fans and Sheffield United fans both rated him very highly while playing for them in this league. I would go as far as to say, that had Soutter not got injured last season while at Sheffield United, they would probably have been promoted as Champions. Much like, had we kept kasper the season we were relegated under Rodgers, we would have stayed up.

Completely agree, protests outside, windows smashed, abuse against managers too, like Martin O`Neil after the Sheff United game, Pleat got loads of abuse, Little had someone spit in his face, when he returned with Villa, and had Judas!, shouted at him constantly from the stands. People running on the pich and throwing their season tickets at the dug out during some dire times. Yes we wasn`t too passive back then.

As i said modern times, was still just a bit of handbags the other night though.

The fan base never used to be passive towards the runnning of the club to be fair,, that is definitely a modern thing.

I know its modern times and all that, but as someone who first started going to games in the 1970s, and was going away everywhere during the 80s and onwards, i`ve lost count of the amount of times ive seen Leicester fight with Leicester over the years. On trains, in pubs, on streets and in the ground, its nothing new. I`m sure other clubs get it too. In fact in the 1970s, the council estates used to fight each other in the Kop, then all be together later fighting away fans! They even used to make bonfires in the kop on a freezing day, and i`m` not even kidding! The little spat last night was handbags really.

To be fair ,he's not had much practice doing his goal celebration back flip in the last few years!

Awful distribution, makes some decent saves, but has a bad habit of pushing the ball out in front of him, and into a dangerous area. Beat on his near post twice in the last three games, which isn't great to be honest. Tries to punch every incoming cross, even when he has an easy catch he can make. Judgements on when to come off his line is questionable, not helped by the defenders in front of him, but it works the other way too. If the defenders don't have the confidence in the keeper, then they will play situations differently, to a keeper they do have confidence in. Is he good enough for a club at the bottom end of the championship, which is what we are, then possibly. Is he good enough for a club at the top end looking to get promoted, probably not.

Well Wheelan and Rudkin allegedly didn't speak to each other if it could be avoided, for at least 2 years, and the fact that Rudkin continued to be cosied up sat next to Top, while Wheelan was sat in the row behind, at games that Top could be bothered to attend, tells you where Tops loyalty lie. Wheelan had been at King Power for a number of years, before they took over here, and Vichai clearly seen her as a competent and valued person within their set up. I think I would trust Vichais judgement, far more than Tops. She was also very well respected amongst the Premier league big wigs too. Who knows what has really gone on behind the scenes, in regards to the running of the club, but if I were to hazard a guess, it would be Wherlan that was trying to steady the ship, out of dangerous seas, and Top and his lapdog Rudkin, that were standing on the deck shouting "full speed ahead", straight into the massive looming iceberg that lay ahead!

I never mentioned the preparation or any lack of it before the series, I just pointed out that if we get another 5-0 series loss, or even a 4-1, then those running English cricket, will once again blame the county game, and will once again call for there to be less counties, as they did after our last 5-0 thrashing down there!

Yes and once again those at the top will be blaming the county game, and call for less county's to "make the competition stronger". Even though most of these players have hardly played any county cricket over the last few years. They're much too busy being rested and playing golf.

That team is woeful, but my god the bench is absolutely honking! Just shows how far we have fallen. Sad times!

Top taking a more active role in running the club, with no plans to bring someone in with a bit of know how into the position, is not going to end well. Let's be right, all the bad decisions that have been made at the club in the last few years, will ultimately have been signed off by Top anyway, and given the go ahead. I suppose now he's been moved aside at King Power, to a position he can do less damage to them. and with them going tits up, he has a bit more time on his hands. So while I welcome Susan Wheelan doing the honourable thing, the future looks at least as bleak now, if not even bleaker!

I thought Harborough should have won comfortably yesterday. Could and probably should have been 3 up at half time, but missed chances, Newton being especially guilty. Second half O'Sullivan put one wide that he should have put away too. Halesowen never really carried much threat, but probably had a decent 15 minutes either side of the goals, but apart from the Halesowen goal, where they got caught from a through ball in behind, Harborough defended well. The Harborough subs actually didn't help. Arlott-John was took off, but was Harboroughs biggest threat, Hickey was took off, who although in my opinion, is not the player he once was, was a level above his replacement, Newton took off, and despite his missed chances, was a thorn in their side, with his work rate, and closing down. Stephens never really got into the game when he came on. I went to their first game this season, when they won 4-0 against Needham Market, and i thought they were actually much better yesterday, but the missed chances cost then the win they deserved.
