Hirsty The Blue 94

Surely the most likely outcome now is for him to sign a 1 year extension and then be sold in Jan/next summer as not sure Arsenal or Liverpool will meet the dollar required tomorrow. And if we're getting rid of Praet as well leaves us massively shorthanded in the centre of the park other than loads of defensive midfielders and Mads.

Call me crazy but I'm not so pessimistic as everyone else about this. Think we played really well for 60 mins against Brentford, but as soon as the 1st went in the equaliser was inevitable. Soyuncu in for Amartey would be my only change, and I reckon we can nick a point or even steal a 2-1 win.

Yes those people, who would probably struggle to stand up for 90 minutes but don't want their experience lessened because of it. Reckon my old man probably has about 5 years of being able to stand for 90 minutes, and when he can't we will relocate accordingly. Thought it was only us 'young uns' who were 'snowflakes' and offended by everything.

Pleased that the singing section is a permanent fixture, hopefully as the seasons go on that area grows and grows until it becomes a whole (hopefully safe standing rail seated) stand to allow all who want to make some noise to get together and families, old timers etc can sit in comfort elsewhere. Think 5% is pretty fair considering it's been frozen for so long and the cost of running the club has increased in the same way any other business has, plus King Power's profits being particularly hit by Covid. And then I remember we're paying Brendan Rodgers 10 million pounds per year and we can't defend a corner.

As much as I hate everything about Liverpool, the way Klopp refers to his team as mentality monsters is basically the opposite of what this team is under Rodgers. We're soft, lacking any characters or leaders, and in pretty much every big game of the last 3 years we have bottled, with the exception of the FA Cup final (dubious VAR offside saved us, if Chelsea had equalised we would have 100% lost.) Who really thought even with half hour left we were going to get back into that game and create anything significant? So many players have been at the club for a long time, so I'm not buying this bollocks that we are a young side and still learning. The likes of Soyuncu, Tielemans, Ndidi etc have been hear for almost 5 years each, we should have the know how to grind out wins in Europe by now against a team who showed no ambition across the 2 legs. Massive rebuild job in the summer, can see close to double figure amount of players from the 1st team squad moving on, and I'm not sure I trust Rodgers to get the right characters in given his track record of signings here. Tonight was a culmination of 3 years of Brendan Rodgers, and a single FA Cup and 2 5th Place finishes given the positions we were in during those seasons has to represent disappointment.

Today is the first day I have shifted to the 'out' brigade after that performance. It's just so predictable in the biggest of games over the course of his time at the club we have shat our pants, FA Cup final aside although we clung on for dear life 2nd half. This mentality of weak and lacking aggression comes from him alone, if the players you have aren't doing that you sign players who are and bin the fragile ones off. Was telling that every cross Forest put in today, I thought it would lead to a goal, whereas everyone we put, despite some rare decent deliveries I never thought any of our players would attack the ball and get on the end of it. I agree with his points entirely about some players need moving on this summer, the squad needs gutting and rebuilding, but he has had plenty of transfer windows and not covered himself in glory in doing so, so not sure he is the man to undertake that. Seems to be absolutely no accountability on the players currently when they make a mistake, which has been shown in the set piece shambles, they can't do zonal or man marking because nobody wants to go and clear everything out to get the ball clear. I don't really think you can blame his tactics in this game, that was largely the side most would have picked, with maybe KDH in and Daka up top, it was just the lack of desire, aggression of the performance that was the issue. I sadly think he probably has too much credit in the bank with the ownership to get the chop before the end of the season, but I think the final third of the season and our performances will determine whether he is here next year or not, unless we really plummet down the table. Not sure where we would turn in the short term if they do get rid before the end of the season, and a long term new manager could also be tricky as our stock is dropping as an attractive proposition with the league position tumbling, players wanting out and money tight, who are you going to attract who is a huge improvement on what we have? Could be a rough and toxic end to the season particularly home games if things stay as is though.

Absolutely disgraceful that this kind of stuff occurs for the big games. Don't recall 1000 disappearing from the allocation for a midweek trip to Southampton. I don't begrudge a percentage going to staff/family/friends but potentially 33% is quite frankly criminal. Sadly I don't really see what power we fans have to change it though, which is the depressing part. To get to 415 points for if they reach tomorrow you would have had to spent a fair few thousand quid following the club, but you have almost no chance of getting a ticket because someone who cuts the grass on the training ground or prints the numbers on the back of the shirts is allowed 2 tickets.

4k is fairly poor, hoping Forest don't sell out and they give us some more. Anyone know roughly how many people are in each band of priority. I'm unluckily on 434 points so worried it won't reach downwards to me.

Hi all, Need some help from fellow Leicester fans. My club (Leicester Ivanhoe) have entered a National Twitter competition with some very good prizes up for grabs if we get to the later stages of the tournament. We are currently embroiled in a tight last 32 clash with Pudsey St Lawrence in Yorkshire. I'm sure any who have played cricket at local level would have played at the Ivanhoe at some point during your career, so any support for one of only 2 local sides still in the comp would be appreciated for those that are on twitter. Cheers all

Just watching on MOTD. Say what you want about Wes but he is a leader, delivering that team talk in the huddle and the passion he spoke with. Proud of all the players, staff and fans today. Next week is going to be just as emotional for everyone involved.

I think it should go further than that. We need to move away from an hours based form of monitoring work to a production based. I work in an office and the amount of time you see some people wasting just to make up the hours is obscene.If it takes you 20 hours or 40 hours to do the work required then so be it. Flexibility should be the key to any employment really.

I registered and managed to get all 15 right. There were a couple on the international that were really close calls! At least I now feel justified when I get given out LBW on a Saturday and complain about getting a shocker.

Jak 3 - Poor distribution and was too easily beaten for the first and last. Thought he could compete for the #1 Jersey next season after his Arsenal performance. Maybe not. Simpson 2 - Dreadful. Could have been sent of committed multiple fouls, looks so off the pace and overweight. Replacement needed ASAP. Morgan 3 - I have been Morgan's biggest fan, but since his injury he looks so poor. Not sure if a nice rest in pre season will help him, or whether he is finished at this level. Maguire 5 - Unfortunate to concede 5 goals, best of our defenders which isn't saying much. Fuchs 4 - Got burned a fair few times. Not been much of an improvement since he has came in for Chilwell. Own goal summed his day up. Mahrez 7 - First half looked very sharp. Quieter in the 2nd but still looked dangerous on the counter. Last performance of our best ever player. Iborra 4 - Looked okay at the start, quickly became overan and gave the ball away too often. Silva 6 - Looked quite decent in parts, some nice link up play with Nacho. Went missing 2nd half and was a bit soft. Gray 3 - Some flashes of quality, a lot of wastefulness. Defensively shoddy yet again similar to at Palace away. The boy has a lot to learn if he is to make it at this level. Ihenacho 8 - Some nice link up with Vardy again, starting to show signs of a bit of a partnership there. Took his goal superbly well and got between the lines nicely. Vardy 9 - 2 very nice goals, some nice link up with Nacho & general play was very good. Undeservedly on the losing side. Diabate 5 - Always looks dangerous and takes people on. A bit like Schlupp in the sense he is a bit raw and still learning. Would like to see him start regularly next season. Choudury 2 - All over the place, but was out of position. Surprised why he came on when Benny was on the bench if we weren't changing formation. Barnes N/A Spurs 5 - Good going forward, shocking at the back, much like us. Ref 5 - Didn't do anything too wrong, could have sent Simpson off, which probably would have helped us. Puel 5 - Had a good go at them. Strange to bring on Choudury in the 2nd half at right back. Firmly on the fence.

It will be Rooney. because those pair think the sun shines out of his backside.

1-3. Think they will be 2-0 up at half time and take the foot off the gas. We start a mini revival & score to make a game of it for 15 minutes, which will be nipped in the bud in the 70th minute. Boos a plenty, calls of Puel out from the 20th minute.

Just after he signed I was told by a friend who plays 5 a side with one of the fitness coaches that he wasn't impressing in training and that Matty James was ahead him in the pecking order even when he would become available. I assumed this was absolute bollocks but in hindsight he was dead right.

You could quite easily say Maguire allowed the bloke to cut inside despite a pretty basic rule of defending is to show the attacker down the line away from the goal, then got sold the same dummy by Shelvey. And for the 2nd as a centre half you should always be round on the cover when the ball is played long, again the basics of defending but he wasn't, and we have a goalkeeper who thinks he is Ederson in the middle of no mans land for an easy finish. Wes hasn't been as good as before he got injured, but seeing people saying he has been crap for 2 years etc is a bit of a joke really. He was our best defender up until Christmas and his injury was at an unfortunate time as he was really in form. Drago came in and did okay without being spectacular, was probably a little harshly immediately replaced but I'm not sure he is the answer for the future either.

Davy Russel is such a good jockey. Rides every horse like he is on the best in the race and never seems to panic. Read a stat that if you just backed everyone one of his festival rides with just £1 you would be over £100 up. That being said I can't see him beating Laurina. Willie Mullins said it is his best chance of a winner at the festival, and he has already had 5!!

Had a great day with a few multiples of Samcro, Presenting Percy & Altior chucked in with some yesterday of the two winning faves had stuck me up by £600. Then Relegate flew up the hill at a lovely 33/1 to stick another £150 on hahaha!! Love Cheltenham me.

Had a cracking day at Cheltenham. Backed a couple of winners on my online account, but burnt through a fair wedge on betting at drinking leaving me about £50 down on the day, but was well worth the day. If Apple's Jade had of won that would have been about £250 up but that's gambling for you. My Selection(s) for tomorrow for what it's worth 1.30 Samcro & Black Op (E/W) 2.10 Monalee & Doukinous (E/W) 2.50 William Henry (E/W) & Le Bruiel (E/W) 3.30 Altior 4.10 Josies Order (E/W) & Cantlow (E/W) 4.50 Mitchouka (E/W) & Turning Gold (E/W) 5.30 Didtheyleaveutootta (E/W) & Relegate (E/W) Good luck all!

Looks like it's going to be soft and best and potentially with a hint of heavy in the ground. So dig out the form books to find horses that love the mud.

Been backing Getabird for about the last 3 months consistantly at varying prices so if that wins will set my week right up for some bookie bashing! Nap of the week is Un de Sceaux, who was my lay of the meeting last year but has completely won me over. Can easily see the 4 faves winning on Tuesday should the ground come up okay. Might put them all in a lucky 15 like I did the year Annie Power fell to cost me hundreds. Nicky Henderson to be top trainer at 11/4 is very tasty. Gets his horses primed for this week and has at least 4 very good chances in the big races.

Hi all, Been interesting reading some of everyone's stories this morning and a lot of people have been experiencing similar thoughts and feelings to me over the last few weeks. 2 weeks ago I went into the hospital with abdominal pains, and was told I needed my appendix removed which should have been straightforward. Ended up developing and ileus following the op which meant I was stuck in there for over a week feeling low and not feeling like I was getting any better. Now having left hospital been struggling mentally, something that was labelled 'acute stress reaction' by the phsychiatrist which has led to me feeling incredibly down and anxious about going out, seeing people and a fear of not getting any mentally better. Over the last few days I have woken up and not wanted to get out of bed, and look forward more to the night time just so it gives me a release from my brain. Currently I feel like I'm stuck in a circle in which the anxious and depressed thoughts consume me and it is getting to the stage where I am unable to cope and think about taking the easy option out rather than fighting. Pre this hospital ordeal i never had any mental health worries or concerns, which is why this is so difficult to cope with currently as I just want to be back to my 'old' self. Anyone who has been through something similar got any tips/advice in how to cope. I have had lots of people over the last week tell me to stay positive and think about the positive but in my current state of mind this is obviously quite difficult. Thanks in advance.
