I’d forgotten he was on the pitch

Fully agree at this stage. i take back my previous comments about us cakewalking this

Stolarkzyk with the fingertips to keep that out!

Luke Thomas going all Leighton Baines with a rasper. Great to see our fans applauding the Sheffield Wednesday fans.

If we are playing out really short from the back, you can see why Vestergaard is playing.

What’s go on then? How have we ended up giving them a corner? Indont want to see Bannan again. I want to watch the game.

Winks is a cheat code at this level. The fact he isn’t in the XI shows how good this squad is.

How many people have now been labelled “The next Jamie Vardy”?

Nelson was never going to Play above Vestergaard.

Ipswich lost Delap. Southampton have lost quite a few and Dibbing will go as well I’d imagine. The joys of getting relegated and stacking the wage bill. In a way, Ipswich should be better shape if they don’t get promoted. Ourselves and Southampton would need to cut deeper again if we didn’t.

I mean, I don’t think he’ll ever be better than 8 of the goalkeepers on the list, or Martinez to be honest. Onana and Ramsdale are the odd choices. Albeit, they were both in good form when they made those moves.

I’m sure someone could AI image that whilst the ship is going down!

Propaganda from both sides. The truth tends to lie in between in all honesty, like more deals that are done. Goalkeepers aren’t exactly where football terms splurge high transfer fees. At £18m he’d be the 11th more expensive goalkeeping transfer ever. 1. Kepa Arrizabalaga - £70m 2. Alisson Becker - £63m 3. Gianluigi Buffon - £47m 4. Andra Onana - £45m 5. Ederson- £35m 6. Jasper Cillessen - £30m 7. Thibaut Courtois - £30m 8. Manuel Neuer - £26m 9. Jordan Pickford - £24m 10. Aaron Ramsdale - £24m 11. Mads Hermansen - £18m 12. Emiliano Martanez - £17m

Heavy is the head that wears the crown …. but I’d still rather be wearing it, than watching someone else parade past me with it, thanks. I’d rather be a top-six team, winning stuff, and walking around with the sort of mild entitlement that makes opposition fans hate you on sight. Success breeds expectation, and I’d take being the hunted over being the “once upon a time” club any day. I believe it was Babe Ruth who said, “Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games” and in our case, the title apparently doesn’t even win you a half-decent transfer window. We should have kicked on and grown naturally, like a footballing oak tree, instead we’ve ended up more like a pot plant someone forgot to water. We’re a one-club county, and with the right ambition, we could fill a 50,000-seater every week in the top flight, King Power thinks in terms of “customers,” not “fans.” That’s 50,000 people who could be spending their hard-earned on tickets, overpriced burgers, and tat from the club shop, instead we’ve been served reheated mediocrity with a side of “remember 2016 and the FA continually”. Winning isn’t everything, it’s the baseline. The reward for winning is more pressure and the demand to go again. Clubs like Chelsea understand this, which is why they’ve had more highs than a rave in Ibiza. The problem is, our fanbase has changed. Fewer grizzled old-school voices bellowing in unison, more happy-clappers politely applauding a sideways pass. King Power haven’t helped either, instead of fuelling the atmosphere, they’ve leaned into the “family fun day” approach. If they’d just given Union FS a bigger section and actually engaged with fans as fans rather than as walking wallets, we might have a stadium that roars instead of hums. Commercial off field it’s fair to say we’re less Premier League boardroom and more your grandad trying to set up WiFi. No sponsor on the kits, which look like they were designed during a lunch break by someone who hates logos. Meanwhile, the squad is so bloated and overpaid you’d think we’re assembling the Avengers but instead of heroes, we mostly get cameo appearances. But hey, no worries! Because we’ve got one of the world’s best training complexes, which doubles as a 5 Star and Spa Resort Hotel and golf course. So if the football doesn’t work out, at least the players can perfect their swing and enjoy a spa day while we chat away on here, bemoaning it all and trying to figure out who’s actually this titanic of a ship.

I need a vomit button 🤢 🤮 Why two shades of pink!

Assuming we’ll see some loan movement o it before the end of the window.

So new players 6. 12. 13. 18.

Hopefully his bloody mate Kristiansen buggers off as well now.

As good as he was, for £20m, we can now most likely purchase a decent goalscorer. I don’t get the decision to play him last week though.

Shouldn’t have been playing for us. First choice for them. Tells you all we need to know really. We may think our midfield is average, however you can see already the gulf in class between the Championship and Premier League. The midfield of both teams average.

10 minutes in and I think we are better than both of these. I said it.

Oh….. Windass, hits the bar

He’s already had one random dive when it was going miles wide.

I mean, three out of the four Wrexham defensive players are Leicester rejects.

Will Still be at Southampton next season?
