I think the frustration is that last season we played in a particular way, high possession, intricate set moves to open teams up, 5 or even 6 players going forward at all times (which incidentally a lot of our fans also found ‘boring’ so I wonder if it’s a them thing). There are small snippets where we play incredibly good football. The two I can think of both ended up in Vardy missing 1 on 1’s v Spurs and Bournemouth. Like you say though, he’s definitely got the handbrake on and I don’t think he trusts these players enough to fully take the handbrake off. One thing I will give him credit for is that he’s made Wout Faes look like a world class defender which is no mean feat.

Its their year this year though right?

Thank you, it’s a mental test as much as a physical one. Really helps me keep in shape.

What reasons do you support the team that you do in NFL? Is it just vibes?

Don’t know if it counts but I did a sub-20 5k row for the first time today.

My god what a capitulation. The defence has fallen apart.

At the 21st attempt, one of the newly promoted teams won a game yesterday. That’s the longest it’s taken collectively to win a game.

Every single club is struggling with home fans at the moment, it’s not a Leicester problem. Forest is like a morgue despite the hype a couple of seasons back, Newcastle is dead, Villa the same (champions league aside).

What people need to understand one way or another is that we just need to stay up. It doesn’t matter if we do it by 15 points or a millipede’s furry ball. If we stay up, the likelihood is we can re-establish ourselves and improve season by season as the championship becomes more distant from the premier league. Cooper won’t be here forever, I highly doubt he’ll be here in 12 months, but what’s happening so far will get us to our aim (and I’m aware a lot can change) and that’s in spite of a lot of realising we can be a lot better.

Hey brother, whatever’s happening, the feelings you’re having right now are temporary. They will change and they will get better. A lot of our problems are caused by feelings of shame and guilt. “I’m not good enough”, “I’ve let others down”, “I’m a burden”. All feelings of guilt. But the truth is that you’re a normal person and you are doing your BEST, and if that best right now is not what you feel that you’re properly capable of, then so be it, that’s part of us being flawed, complicated human beings. But it’s time to cut yourself some slack, contextualise the difficulties you’re having and be fairer on yourself. It will get better, I’ve been there many times. I promise!

Looks like Rylan, is vegan and votes for the Green Party. Disgusting man.

I don’t rate him but he clearly can set up a team because aside from the Arsenal game (where we nearly drew), we’ve been defensively tight and in every game. Compared to the relegation season, the defensive organisation is a billion percent better. He’s just a coward going forward, but he is anxious about losing that defensive structure if we open it up. It’s grim but it makes sense, he just needs to be braver at important moments in games.

If we stay up playing this terrorist ball then we’d have all taken that. We’re in every game, we just need to be braver.

First of the promoted teams to win a game. Could probably should be on 8 points.

Its not that bad as they don’t seem to have created much either

Going to be listening to Highway to Hell and Road to Nowhere on the way today.

Job done. Thank me later. Like a hapless youngster against a Muralitharan off break.

Leeds would wipe the floor with us, a joke they bottled it last season.

From all accounts the Chinese is a lazy conclusion to beat Starmer with, Mauritius’s biggest influence/allies are India and France and unless I’m not mistaken, they are both on ‘our side’ in one sense or another.

Fair enough, but the underlying point still stands! Hamas, Hezbollah, Netanyahu and his psychopaths, IRGC, Biden & Trump, Assad + all the rest. All belong in hell.

This should’ve been obvious from the Tottenham game when the only time we didn’t look like conceding is when we pressed them high and got players forward. Cooper noticed that and yet hasn’t done a thing about it?

Yup, 58,000 American soldiers killed, up to 4 million Vietnamese, and for what? A British foreign policy success staying out. Like France and Germany with Iraq.

I have found that the moment I’ve taken a side in this, is the moment I need to take a step back. There are no good or bad in geopolitics, usually just psychopathic scheming to achieve goals. I suppose in recent history there have been a combination of terrible decisions that history should in particular focus on. - Trump pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal. This was by far the stupidest of the lot. All of this could’ve been avoided imo, especially with the thawing of Iranian-Saudi relations. - October 7th, nothing more to say. An appalling slaughter of innocent civilians. - The destruction of Gaza, again just pure emotive evil. I get the anger and pain of October 7th but acting on raw emotion is perilously stupid. - Biden being pathetic and the horrendously incapable Blinken not being able to strike a deal and giving Israel free rein to do whatever. - Hezbollah firing into Northern Israel. Again responding with raw emotion at the treatment of Palestinians was not the correct decision. There are many others. There are bad actors in every side of this conflict. There are no good guys, the only people I’ve seen approach it with any sanity are the Jordanian’s and that probably explains why that’s the most stable country in the area.

I was listening to a podcast about Vietnam the other day, and I never realised just how many innocent civilians were killed by the Americans. They dropped 8 million tonnes of bombs on North Vietnam, blitzing towns and cities with relays and relays of B-52’s.

That tradition massively precedes KP though. It would be a terrible look if they stopped doing it. They hate anything UFS try to do because they’re scared that they’re trying to undermine them. The problem is that they do that themselves through their complete lack of compassion for the average fan.
