Still not sure how Havertz wasn’t shown red for that challenge, when you look at some of the others that have been given this season.

VAR IS MEANT TO BE BLOODY HELPFUL. 

Football as a spectate sport is finished. It’s like watching paint dry, 

Joking aside.

Who are the 15/16 reserves even playing against? 
 

Now the Pep leaving at the end of the season is picking up steam, I guess it pours water on Cabellero coming here. 

Maybe no movement, as Top is off playing Polo with his mates. 

Could they semi asset strip us, then sell the carcass on the cheap? 
 

Fatawu, Monga, Nelson, Okoli etc 

Then sell what’s left.

I think realistically they’d make more money back that way.

It could, but at this point they need some substance or they are unelectable anyway.  Starmer appears to believe in nothing, be in control of nothing and has thrown half a dozen people under the bus to demonstrate this.

 

ABC indeed got us here, he never would have in if the Tories hadn't shot themselves in the foot, fallen on top of the gun, shot themselves in the arse and then tried to rescue themselves almost literally shooting themselves in the head in appointing Liz "thick as mince" Truss.

Liz was the nail In the coffin.

I’ll always come back to Rishi wasn’t that bad, or at least as bad as the rest of the party in terms of stupidity. Truss and Johnson were a bloody nightmare. 
 

The eat out to help out scheme was ill thought, however people still had a choice on if they take up the offer of that or not. 

People were hypocrites though, I know so many people that have since admitted to meeting up during Covid that had blasted them all for partygate. 

I downloaded this earlier as it’s on PS Plus. 
 

I haven’t played it in years.

I got a x3 Icon pack for Ultimate team.

Can I just say that it feels really clunky and slow. 
 

It feels like I’m playing Acutu Scoccer or ISS 64. 
 

I has since been deleted. 

Surely the biggest “What If”, is Kante stays for another season to play for us in 16/17? 
 

No signing Mendy or Amartey to fill that void.

I can’t remember a time, when the world has felt so destabilised as the last 12 months.

You have to be specific with statements like this. The people in charge might take us the wrong way out again.

You joke ….

I goes without saying, that we desperately need to get out at the first attempt. 

The sensible thing is a 3-0 loss in the first leg, or simply put Middlesborough into the final. 
 

A points deduction would mean they’d need to replay the Playoff Semi finals. 
 

It’s unsportsmanlike like behaviour and I think if they take a head handed approach now, then it discourages future stuff from happening.

If just just give them a hefty fine, then Southampton win the play offs, they have gambled and won.

Imagine there being a TV series on the Leicester City story from 2007 through to 2026.

It would run for about 10 seasons with so many cliffhangers that it would feel like a fictional story, with tv Baftas and primetime Emmy nominations all over the place.

Like a reboot of DreamTeam! 

I thought his agent came off quite well. 
 

I get why Becky is featured heavily, as she is the Ying to his Yang and stabalised him. 
 

I enjoyed it. 

#1 in the UK on Netflix 

I’ve not watched it yet, however this made me laugh. 

The holding and pulling shirts from corners is annoying. That needs to stop. If a cross comes in during open play and a defender is holding your shirt, it’s going to be a penalty if you stop them attacking the ball. 
 

Do the same for corners.
 

We just need some consistency. 

I would change the rules from next season though.

What’s the betting that in 4 weeks time we are in exactly the same position?

 

Rowett still lingering with no announcement.

 

No solid rumours about exits or arrivals.

 

No solid rumours about a new manager and coaching staff.

 

Andy Hughes and Sadler still stinking the place out.

 

Rudkin faffing and Bottom playing Polo while pretending to be a good businessman.

I think the entire club will stagnate now until early July.

Crazy when you consider the transfer window opens on the 15th June, which is just over a month away. 
 

Looking at our previous Summer Manager appointments under King Power, no real pattern. If anything, Maresca and Cooper were done at a time to aid the squad prepare for pre season. 

Sousa - 7th July

Ranieri - 13th July

Maresca - 16th June

Cooper - 20th June

Cifuentes - 15th July

Drop him like a hot potato. Have an open  and transparent leadership election and try to win back trust that way. Any process that retains any kind of starmer influence will not regain the trust of any voters. I do understand that you can’t just have Ali G in as your leader but  let the voters be angry with starmer and  let their anger walk away when he does . and then,  ‘ new new Labour’ with a fresh leader, might stand a chance. 

The current path of trajectory would suggest Labour are going to get the same treatment the Conservatives got at the last general election, which would be annihilation.

We are in a weird time realistically as the world is uneasy, so whoever is at the helm, be it Labour, Conservative, Liberal, Reform, Green etc, so many outside influences are currently strangling the economy, you won’t be able to do right for doing wrong. 
 

People still feel poorer than 5 - 10 years ago, as the economy and inflation is squeezing them. The ongoing cost of living is a challenge for many. 
 

Reform is pushing the anti immigration and pedalling the non British agenda from the right. The entire stop the boats thing feels like it’s rolled on forever.

The Greens are starting to grow from the left as people look at a wider economic future that is more sustainable. A younger , changing demographic for  voters will have a very different set of values to the last one.
 

The NHS feels like it is in the worse state it has been for decades. Whilst its decline started under the last hot potato leadership regime, it still feels like it’s falling and not improving.

The roads now have more holes in them than your average block of Swiss cheese. I’d be hesitant to say that construction companies have profiteered during covid and with things like HS2 and I’ve been surprised that we haven’t had a call to privatise some of these business to bring cost under control.

Everything you hear about the prison system is bleak.

Then you have this really unclear flip flopping in what Starmer and Labour actually stand for now. 
 

Sadly the issue is bigger than Starmer. I say this as someone that historically has been a conservative voter but he and any future government leader, are currently on a hiding to nothing. 
 

Whoever takes the reins next, will face similar problems. Until the world rights itself and to a degree, then they’ll be in a tough spot.
 

The great fear is that I see a Reform win akin to the Liz Truss budget disaster and that is a car crash waiting to happen. They’ll win the culture war but cause longer lasting instability, in my opinion.

Don't need glory hunters.

Unfortunately most clubs do, as in the modern came, that’s the commercial revenue stream required. 

Over the past 10 years I’ve definitely seen more Leicester shirts on my travels. 
 

I wonder if that will drop off now

Not having the hype at all - was bloody useless all season- honking

He’s talented. 
 

Then again, so many players are.

Only time will tell if he develops the grit and intelligence that you can only get with games and experience.
