A million problems at the club. Andy King is not one of them.

I'd take a punt on Challinor. Only 63 defeats in 268 games at Stockport is a very impressive record in the EFL.

Completely disagree. I loathe Arteta but he's not to blame. Anyone can take a penalty. It's a 12 yard kick. It's much more important to get 6/7 lads who are happy to handle the pressure than necessarily the 6/7 most technically gifted. Eze can do things with a football that Gyokeres or Rice couldn't dream of. Eze didn't even hit the target while Gyokeres and Rice scored theirs with ease.

Joe Gomez Wataru Endo Virgil van Dijk Milos Kerkez Florian Wirtz Dominik Szoboszlai Alexander Isak Alexis Mac Allister Conor Bradley Federico Chiesa Giovanni Leoni Curtis Jones Cody Gakpo Hugo Ekitike Giorgi Mamardashvili Freddie Woodman Jeremie Frimpong Ryan Gravenberch Ármin Pécsi Trey Nyoni Stefan Bajcetic Rhys Williams Calvin Ramsay James McConnell Rio Ngumoha Harvey Davies That isn't a squad that's going to win the league any time soon. Especially when their best player is long term injured. Liverpool need to get real with their rebuild. They need a keeper, a centre half, a midfielder and two wingers. All need to be starting 11 material.

You think they're comparable to us? Bristol City have spent 5 seasons in the top division in their history and have won a grand total of ZERO major honours. In the last 100 years the highest level trophy they've won is League 1/Division 3 and they've not been to a single final. Compare that with us, we've won the Premier League, 8 Championships, the FA Cup, 3 League Cups and 2 Charity Shields. We've also been to 10 finals. We're one of 14 clubs to have won everything in English football and since the turn of the millennium are the 6th most successful side in England.

The same should happen with water breaks. Neutrals should take water, cold towels, energy gels etc into the centre circle where players can cool themselves down. Should never be used as a tactical break. It drastically affects how games are played.

June and no manager. Can we get a ****ing move on for once please?

There's an acceptance of poor behaviour amongst too many at the club. Yes, in the ideal world all Leicester fans would support all Leicester players. But the fact is that it's plainly clear who the bad eggs are and there is next to no pressure on these players. If you look at the great captains of English football over the last 25 years... Gerrard, Terry, Keane, Kompany etc... do you think they whinge that the club doesn't get support from the fans or do you think they're more worried about players that aren't pulling their weight? The attitude at the club is all wrong and until they start to realise this nothing will change. LCFC is like a social club full of fat old racist drunks who like going because they get to slob around all day being hateful and getting sloshed because they're doing it in an environment where they're not judged as they should be and nobody calls their behaviour out as being wrong.

Premier League 26/27 and Championship 26/27 threads both in the General Football and Sport section. Life under Aiyawatt.

He's only 31 as well. Shame that his career has gone down the pan this quickly. Personally thought he was a bit over rated and the worst finisher i've ever seen play 300+ games in the Premier League.

Demarai Gray in attendance???!?!?!? Why didn't you say so?!

I suspect their fans would take that.

Not sure I fully agree. We absolutely were well run as a club, even if he himself didn't always make sound football decisions. Vichai did get lucky to an extent but he definitely made things happen to ensure he got lucky. You can't argue that he had a vision and sculpted an identity that saw the club reach heights it hadn't for 20 years. Clubs don't go up and stay up based solely on luck. He also made difficult decisions when he needed to and his ruthlessness has been sorely missed. There's no way he doesn't sack Rogers early. No way does Rudkin get away with failure for this long. No way does the club continually let expensive players walk away for free etc etc. He built a proper culture at the club where respect was a non-negotiable. King Power and Leicester are both much worse off without someone like him leading them. He left the football to other people but made sure that things ran well. If there were snags in the chain then he would notice and act upon it. We don't have this level of authority and responsibility amongst the higher ups at the club now.

Since this season in 2021/22, he's only played 65 games. He was injured for 802 days and missed 149 games.

Yamal's fitness will be a concern and losing Fermin last week is a big blow. I think it's quite open.

I think it's quite hard to **** up a Juve kit but Adidias have managed it.

Jack Marriott would be a great signing IMO. 78 G+A in 10k minutes (works out to be around 115 lots of 90 minutes) at league one level. Just had a very productive season for an average Reading side (scoring or assisting in 15 of his 20 starts). Best bit about him is that he works his absolute arse off. He'd be a fan favourite here. Worst bit is that he's got an iffy hamstring and he's in his 30s.

I can't remember the exact wording but I'm pretty sure in that video the social media guy asked him something like "What are your first impressions of King Power Stadium" and he says something like "Well I have played here before for Norwich" in the most matter of fact way, completely throwing the poor lad off. Genuine Partridge moment.

Burnley will depend on recruitment. I suspect someone will take Esteve but they need to find a new manager. West Ham will win the league at a canter. Obviously they'll lose a few big hitters like Bowen, Summerville and Fernandes but their squad is generally good enough to breeze that league. Especially considering they've confirmed that Nuno will stay. I'm not sure about Wolves. Yes they've known they're down for a long time but I'm pretty sure they're in financial bother and don't exactly have too many players of high value. Joao Gomes will go for a fair wedge but other than that I'm not sure. But I really don't rate their manager. I know he did well at Luton and did alright at Boro but I'm not sure I'd trust him for their rebuild. Their fans don't rate him either. I think the 2nd automatic spot is well up for grabs for a club on the up. Wouldn't surprise me to see Wrexham have a big summer and get it. Big ask for Milwall to go again IMO. Especially if Femi Azeez gets nicked which I suspect he will. IMO it looks like a very easy league to get out of if you're organised, have a harmonised squad and a competent manager.

They're where we were in 2023/24 only we got the stay of execution by getting promoted and this lot ****ed it. When they sack the manager and the players start to revolt it could go very sour very quickly.

Goalkeepers: Juan Musso (Atletico Madrid), Geronimo Rulli (Marseille), Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa). Defenders: Leonardo Balerdi (Marseille), Nicolas Tagliafico (Lyon), Gonzalo Montiel (River Plate), Lisandro Martinez (Manchester United), Cristian Romero (Tottenham), Nicolas Otamendi (Benfica), Facundo Medina (Marseille), Nahuel Molina (Atletico Madrid). Midfielders: Leandro Paredes (River Plate), Rodrigo de Paul (Inter Miami), Valentin Barco (Strasbourg), Giovani lo Celso (Real Betis), Ezequiel Palacios (Bayer Leverkusen), Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool), Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea). Forwards: Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid), Lionel Messi (Inter Miami), Nicolas Gonzalez (Atletico Madrid), Thiago Almada (Atletico Madrid), Giuliano Simeone (Atletico Madrid), Nico Paz (Como), Jose Manuel Lopez (Palmeiras), Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan). Any team with the greatest to ever play has a chance but I don't think they'll be strong enough to retain it.

That's arguably the worst V neck collar i've ever seen.

I genuinely think he's the worst player i've ever seen play professional football in person.

Are women's championship games accessible on TV? Can't say I have seen them advertised.
