I was in their end for our game there and it was as passive and disinterested as you can imagine for a team winning comfortably at home. Albeit our total lack of intensity didn’t help.

I get the general point but I think in this case, it’s tough to accept say £30m for him in 2021, when you’re probably spending that and more on a replacement (and it’s tough to get someone of that level) - I’m not sure if £30m in 2021 was more beneficial than two more seasons of a fantastic player, albeit he obviously phoned it in for a fair chunk of 22/23 which doesn’t help my argument.

But selling requires a club to be willing to buy at a reasonable price, and the player being willing to go to that club. Tielemans had two years left on his contract in the summer of 2021, when clubs had been hit by COVID and transfer activity was very low.

But in the case of Tielemans, what was the solution?

I never really understand what people think a club is meant to do when a player runs down their contract and leaves on a free. The club is awful in many ways but they don’t have much power in that situation if that’s what a player decides to do.

However, while broadcast rights revenue (£54.2M) and sponsorship revenue (£21.5M) were reduced as a direct result of absence from the top flight, gate receipts held firm (£18.4M in both 2024 and 2023) and other commercial revenues increased by £0.3M to £9.8M. £9.5m -> £9.8m.

It’s crazy how we could still be playing until this time tomorrow and we wouldn’t have scored, you watch teams in the league with pace and physicality and directness and there’s just absolutely nothing, I’ve never enjoyed watching football less.

Last time I went here was in the home end when we lost 4-1 and Antonio scored after a sequence of Ole’s. In the home end again tonight so expecting more of the same

Definitely a big part of making it easy to be proud of supporting Leicester, even when we were struggling in 14/15 - nothing about the club makes me proud to support them at the moment.

It’d break an impressive streak of clubs beginning with W for him.

I find it hard to emotionally invest in a club which makes consistently inept decisions, really woeful club from top to bottom over many years now.

Looks like everyone on the pitch has been heavily sedated - this game is actually tripping me out

City look seriously seriously weird, like a team of ghosts

Astronomically bad day for Spurs, even after being gifted two goals

Let’s go

For me, Twitter has become borderline unusable from a user experience point of view, and I’ve also decided to consciously stop doomscrolling so much, so Twitter and instagram have gone. I used to love Twitter but it’s just not an enjoyable platform any more.

They should be disappointed not to have six

Think Fatawu has had the worst game I’ve ever seen anyone have

Wow that’s crazy how wrong that is

They should be out of sight, when will we learn??

They’ve got good fullbacks

Everyone playing centrally looks good, everyone planing wide is honking. fatawu in danger of being hooked

Justin is allergic to clearing the ball cleanly. Ndidi looks a little lost in the advanced role.

Playing very well but wingers don’t look like they’ve got the beating of their fullbacks.

England boys in a contest for who can play the shittest shot
