The fact we expect to lose to Coventry is a sackable offence in itself. In fact it’s a ‘fold the club and start again’ offence.

Great thread. Ricardo Faes Mills Chilwell Van Aanholt Danns Wise Perez Kermorgant Kane Alan Smith (for his punditry) Don’t give a toss if players are out of position, they would be bellends in any position. Special mentions to Mahrez any time he wasn’t on the pitch, and Hammond for being one of those players that would have been hated under Holloway but was inexplicably liked just because he played under Pearson.

Culture is not just national or religious, and culture is not nature. You’re (justifiably) criticising online culture, for example, because people choose to actively engage in certain behaviours. There is an obvious political culture in the US for example and to suggest that MAGA culture should be considered equal to, let’s say the genuine left-wing culture, is obviously false. One is built on control and greed, the other is, despite any flaws the culture might have, built on the idea of freedoms and equality. Patriarchal culture is another clearly negative example. Frankly, I don’t think much to British culture but you’d be hard pressed to argue American culture is not worse (a more extreme version of all the negatives) in almost every single aspect. That’s not a judgement of individual people, and frankly even a lot of Americans (the decent ones) would agree with me. I’d argue it’s often silly to say that a culture is purely bad - you can criticise one without saying it’s all bad. But objectively people are better off living in certain cultures rather than others because there are physical and tangible consequences for it. Back to the subject at hand, no one can defend this callous killing and anyone who’s seen the video, heard the several eyewitness accounts from locals and is still seriously suggesting there might be some justification for what this essentially Gestapo agent did should hang their head in shame.

https://apple.news/A70ATIUL8QtG0qlXhWrVdNA Jesus Christ that country. It’s sickening seeing a government tweet call this person a ‘terrorist’ for driving their car, before there’s even been an investigation. An onlooker said they were trying to flee from what you could legitimately call an actual terrorist organisation.

He’s lazy. Extremely lazy. He just strolls around. Just watch him doing it on the highlights. That’s why people don’t like him.

I think boycott’s are the way to go personally. Much easier to draw attention to all those empty seats on the TV than if they just mute the chants, can’t hear them, or just assume some people are late because of traffic. I think all this other stuff is complicating it. EDIT: having said that, protesting outside the ground for the whole match would be an idea because it doesn’t require making the stadium look well attended.

This should be all the motivation people need to boycott the next home match as well. The equivalent of sticking newspapers on the dressing room wall.

I’ll tell you one thing the BBC love, absolutely LOVE, is defending any manager who doesn’t manage Celtic, Rangers, or one of the Super League traitors in the Premier League. It’s daily hit pieces for Man Utd and Celtic managers who’ve been in charge for 5 games, and ‘be careful what you wish for’ for everyone else.

Hopefully the joy of mocking at KPFC fans on here has convinced a lot of people to make this boycott a regular thing. It’s more fun than any match over the past 2 seasons.

Wout Faes could definitely star in a sequel to The Room. He’d be as hapless as Tommy Wiseau but not nearly as funny.

If it’s an in game protest it has to be very well supported and pretty disruptive. If it isn’t both it will be easily ignored. I remember the Blackpool fans throwing tennis balls on the pitch and then they staged a mid-match sit in which caused the game to be abandoned. That got attention but I highly doubt a good number of our fanbase will partake in this as they’d risk a life ban from this lot. I don’t think there’s much point having banners and chants that the TV will barely pick up.

People are really overthinking this. Boycott because that’s how you feel. If it doesn’t take off for this one game, so be it, just keep doing it and bringing it up whenever possible until it is common knowledge. You will not be missing any classic matches against West Brom, Oxford and Charlton. You’ll realise how easy it is after you’ve spent a few Saturdays in the pub instead.

The bit about Fatawu is spot on. He looks so painfully like a talented player who’s being coached appallingly.

Ranieri and Maresca were good appointments, Puel not a chance. Total waste of time. The Rodgers appointment can be separated into 3 as if they were all completely separate people (which reflects his personality) - 2019 (good) 2020-21 (inconsistent and frustrating, benefit of the doubt purely because VAR disallowed the Chilwell goal) and 2022-23 (diabolical in every aspect of management that exists and even in some aspects that he managed to invent). What we can say is that King Power have had no footballing insight, the appointments have had little imagination or research behind them and the few that worked out were lucky choices on that basis.

Does Top even check the results? I feel he has a monthly review from Rudkin that amounts to him telling Top everything is fine and his genius decisions have paid off once again.

It’s come to the point where if I ever meet a Leicester fan again I’m gonna ask them if they were KP in or out. Even in 20 years if they’re KPFC as far as I’m concerned they’re essentially a Cov or Forest fan to me. We don’t support the same thing.

Inevitable when billionaires with no connections to the area or the ordinary man take over football clubs. They don’t understand the psychology of supporting a football team and they don’t know anything about the sport, yet assume their own success is down to being more intelligent than everyone else. It’s a bad combination.

I think people are genuinely that thick that they can’t see why selling their ticket defeats the object.

The thing that really jumps out at me is how boring the kits generally are. Africa used to be the flag bearers for inventive kits that had cultural representation in their designs. Now there are so many single colour, plain kits. It sounds like a little thing but it’s just symptomatic of how sterile and anti-beautiful football and society is now.

I’ve never understood people calling for positive posts on football forums. Surely people come on here to vent or at best laugh at some gallows humour.

I’m not equating the two things or the two people. So regardless of what I might know about certain players not being great guys either, it’s not the point. The idea lifestyle shouldn’t bother people is absolute nonsense. There is a complete denigration of society and community and it’s rooted in the fact that the rich do not have a shared experience with normal people. Football, being a sport in which players are representing their community, is immediately less meaningful for this reason. They aren’t representing anything but corporations now. If Luke Thomas is drinking in his local it doesn’t make him a better person, but it absolutely makes him more relatable. It doesn’t make you a ‘loser’ to be poorer than a footballer and not be happy about it. Remember the days when people used to say those on the NHS workers were getting ripped off and footballers were overly privileged? Yeh, at least that sentiment was fair, even if you don’t blame footballers for it. People have a right to be enraged at the state of the world, and all this apathetic stuff celebrating people who want to rub in your face how rich they are isn’t going to fix anything. An awareness, a consciousness if you will, is at least a step in the right direction.

I agree with most of this but people don’t like certain footballers with good reason. The typical modern footballer; arrogant and completely out of touch with normal people. When people spend 8 grand on a weird rucksack it rubs people up the wrong way. And yes, I do have personal anecdotes to support this view of him. People are jealous of rich successful people yes, why shouldn’t they be in an unequal and unfair society? It’s not meritocratic. But that’s not the only thing. People want to knock them because they don’t find them remotely relatable. It’s a representation thing. People were always more forgiving of someone like Gazza because, in spite of his many faults, he seems like someone you might know. Maddison isn’t having a beer with you. If Thomas is I’m more inclined to like him in this day and age! Shame he’s rubbish.

It always matters who the manager is, that’s why clubs always hire one.

Every time something like this happens the official line is that it’s a ‘mistake’ and it always turns out to be some much more serious financial issue. Either way, horrible club.
