I was there too. 18-ish year old Zaha tore us to pieces

Wolves away 03/04, 4-3 loss after being 3-0 up at halftime. We'll never play worse than that second half.

I'm really only watching for Vards at the moment. A Vardy goal still gets me excited. Other than that, it's turgid - I'm just hoping there will be three worse teams than us, and we can go again this summer and have a proper reset. If we go down I won't be gutted, if we stay up I won't be excited. I've not really felt like this since I watched my first ever game. Rodgers last season was horrendous watching but I was still devastated when we went down - this year I don't really care.

Important to keep in mind this is a side who have spent €430m since promotion three years ago. In the same timeframe we've invested €160m, while losing the likes of Barnes, Maddison, KDH, Tielemans, Castagne, Fofana. There seems to be some dismissal here that they have much better players than us.

I think we looked as good as we have all season first half and could have put the game to bed really. Terrible mistake for the goal aside, looked comfortable, just made the wrong decisions at the business end. Two terrible errors for the goals in the second half and they completely gave up, I couldn't believe what I was watching - felt we could have stepped up a gear and got back into it even 1-3 down but they never even tried. 8 more wins needed. Let's start next week.

My mates kids go to the same school has Vardy's and he talks to him a lot, goes for beers with him at the local. Reckons there is no chance he's leaving. Kids love the school, the family is very settled. I think we can expect another year or two.

I hope this club can for once do the right thing and if either of them are retiring or leaving this summer, let us know ahead of time so they can get the send offs they deserve. Would be tragic if they just left with no fanfare over the summer as with Kasper.

Does this feel worryingly similar to last season in the sense that we can all see the wheels coming off well in advance of the general public/media? I felt absolutely resigned to relegation last season watching the first half of the season, we weren’t really in the conversation for relegation broadly until the last few weeks. Seems like the world has us pegged to break all existing records this season - but watching us, it feels like we’re a long way off the pace and in real danger of getting dragged to the playoffs.

Interesting I didn’t have that take at all really. Looked very comfortable on the ball and was coming well for crosses.

Useful if you view it as a training exercise. Think it showed Souttar and Coady can slot in if needed, Akgun is interesting in a number of positions. Unfortunately also highlighted how we are going to really struggle if we’re without Winks at any point, and that JJ might struggle slotting in for Doyle - which I’d assumed would be a straight swap. Doyle had made mistakes defensively but his cross field balls are so important to us.

I take the opposite view, I want us to win this trophy so badly. I’m desperate for Vardy to complete the set. Desperate. I need it.

Well this is ****ing infuriating.

United as #2/3 I reckon.

This is absolutely superb, regardless of the opposition.

He could have gone about it in a hundred ways. He went about it the worst possible of those hundred options. He’s a ****. Nobody wished this on him, I do get a smile that they’ve spunked £150m on Chilwell, Fofana and Drinkwater and combined they’ll probably end up with less than 150 league appearances when all is said and done.
