Where's all this football that pleases the English pub-goer that Tuchel promised us? I would have thought that was the thing to get going easily enough? It's Pep-lite but slower.

Seems to have had the England manager yips with questionable team selections, doesn't he? Turning his nose up at TAA has come home to roost quite dramatically. Taking Hendo along for vibes, too.

Maybe the banned members could use this thread to air their points of view and we could have a 'banned from the gen news ban' thread.

'our next chapter'. They're not bothered at all. Honking.

It's a day at Wembley and a trophy; I'd hope that we're looking at that as a positive to come out of this season.

Cynicism is likely the correct response here. It's a big move for RockStar, for sure, and they'll squeeze every single penny.

The profits won't be minimal, though, will they? I mean - they aren't going to be on a breadline for having a disc version. After 13 odd years isn't GTA V still one of the most profitable games in existence? GTA VI will easily replicate that and beyond. Not having a CD isn't because of profit margins, really, it's exactly as other posters have said. To ensure that future copies are bought from source and not from the 2nd had market and to throttle lending.

On the short list then.

Wasn't there a song about big energy? Maybe we could get them on board?

I once did a fart that genuinely sounded like Wout Faes and I've not stopped thinking about it. Can any other posters top that?

Rice was totally pedestrian. Think he's not the answer when we've got a team who are willing to sit.

Failed at the first hurdle.

This club has had more than half a decade of the most pulled together fanbase in our history and they've treated us like morons and with contempt. An eagerness to be in the stadium has been met with hiked prices, a literal gatekeeping of the turnstiles, and untruthfulness. They've also closed general sale to a whole generation of fans. King Power have enjoyed a whole era of full-throated and unconditional support. It isn't what's going on in the stands that's the problem and not having dissenting voices is doing more harm than good at this point.

If he's here on the first day of the season it's almost certain he'll play. Outwardly, as in for people who haven't closely followed up over the last 18 months, he looks like he should be central to the club's plans. Martin will be no exception. We as fans know differently - the board should too - but Martin will see an ex-England international and a player with Champions League experience.

I'd never be a member of a club that would have me as a member etc. I''m right, though.

I think the suggestions you make are accurate however it ignores one salient part - only one of the three is here forever. The owners and the players aren't equal stakes, I'm afraid. Both make money FROM the club. That's their major driver. They exist BECAUSE of us, not adjacent or equal to us. The club belongs to me, to you, and to our group. The players and owners are custodians. They're not stakeholders, I'm afraid. I know that this is freighted with nuance because of money but if you stripped all the profit from football who else remains? Top's gone. The players are gone. We remain. So no - I reject that. They owe us something not the other way round.

An extreme disappointment. Had high hopes after his debut at Villa and he's progressively got worse. One of those players who coveted a move away and Enzo referred to after relegation. A bad egg by all accounts - happy to shit on the floor but unhappy to have to clean it up. Several relegations under his belt. Bottled it during games. Fell out with some of our better players (Maddison, Barnes, et al) and got a sympathetic view. Actually, you must just have been shit, Viktor. He won't ever read this but if I had the opportunity I'd tell him as follows : you are one of the worst signings that the club has ever made, you've contributed less than nothing, and any ideas you have of being better than Leicester City FC ring hollow in the ears of anyone you've ever seen play. All you've had from this club is unearnt and hopefully it'll be the peak of you career so that you truly know you aren't good enough at the level we were at and are responsible for the level we are at.

Topuria is such a ****ing brilliant fighter. For Gaethje to pummel him into submission like that is nothing short of jawdropping. That knee to the rib at the end of round 4 was totally vicious. The damage that Topuria is having to deal with today must be staggering. Sean O'Malley was another good fight; I love watching him go about business. Hokit's battering of Lewis was also thoroughly entertaining. I know that there was a lot of negative press surrounding the politics of this event but the Main Card delivered. If that was any numbered event people would be talking about it for decades.

Are we even stuffing up his announcement? Is he just going to appear at Seagrave with no communication from the club.

Total disregard for the fans of the club. We're not in their thinking at all - we've been an inconvenience for years.

It's baffling, isn't it? Why not try emulating a club that's doing well. Or continue doing what we were doing when we were doing well. I can't think of a single reason for continually going for Southampton's cast-offs. Joe Aribo. What the hell were we thinking?

Graham Potter has some success behind him. Russell Martin has left a trail of disaster in his wake. We've not even managed to tempt the best of a bad bunch.

I'll bet Rudders is delighted. He's been after completing the 'crap Southampton exes' boxset for a while.

It's odd, isn't it? Vichai was obviously a great man to them and they think a lot of him but you can't help but wonder why they can't be bipartisan and observe that the club isn't in a good shape. He's not dependent on the club.
