Anyone think of a team selection that wouldn't make them clinically depressed?

It's more fun if you imagine this is how the team selection works.

Well in fairness we're generally seeing opposition sides defend against a senile front three

3 in all competitions, 4 in the league

Any Leicester fan who chose to go to this game has to be a masochist and probably had a great night.

Pretty clear Ayew should have started

Thank god it's away

I withdraw my complaint

Are they celebrities if you don’t know their names?

I guess West Ham fans

I’d have never guessed that was what you were trying to do just looking at that lineup.

Let’s not pretend we were incredibly well run before Vichai died. The first thing they did when they came in was try to get rid of the Birch - an obvious PR disaster. Before we reverted to the manager who had been doing good work pre-King Power we adopted a reckless scatter gun approach of spending lots of money on anyone who was high profile by Championship standards (both managers and players) and willing to come. By all accounts we were sounding out Harry Redknapp while Pearson was still in the job, and they later fired Pearson and u-turned the next day (thank god, the right decision in the end but never should have put themselves in that position). Once Pearson/Walsh/Shakey were gone we reverted back to being a pretty clearly directionless football club fumbling along, appointing ex-Premier League managers the owners had heard of with seemingly no consistent tactical approach. And that 14 seconds late Adrien Silva deal? Vichai was still our owner. A switch didn’t just flick when Vichai died and we suddenly became incompetent.

In that case I have some excellent news for the club

Not many out of contract and not many going to be attracting interest from anyone else. Mads will go, probably BEK as well, hopefully we aren't stupid enough to give Ward another contract but who knows. Maybe we could find a buyer for Faes, Winks, Soumare and/or Ndidi. I imagine Okoli & Kristiansen will go on loan somewhere - or maybe Okoli permanently if he has a clause in his contract. Can't see anyone who is in a position to pay their wages wanting anyone else.

I reckon it’ll be Ian Holloway

Should nobody ever be accountable for their actions because of the passage of time? What a weird take.

1. Leicester 2. Southampton 3. Tottenham (losing play-off semi-finalists) Nailed on

If you're putting bets like that on maybe call that helpline?

Can we please just get a third.

There's only one Jon Rudkin

Exactly the kind of signing we need, no chance.

For what possible reason? Oh right.

I would like to see us stay up with 62 points.

Get Nige back, make it fun again
