    You worded it a bit clumsily then. I read it in a way that verbal violence or threats in person is likely more effective than moaning online, which it probably is, but it's also very wrong.

     

    I'd advocate Manwell's method of just stop giving the club money. That's the most effective way - even if it won't necessarily hurt the personal wallets of the owners, I guarantee it will be far more monitored in-house than some placards or chants.

    Yeah maybe, it’s been a long day 😂 

     

    Re stopping giving them money, you’ve seen with the season ticket renewals that they think someone else will just step into your shoes if you do that. Peaceful, persistent protests will be more effective.

    Becoming violent is never 'more acceptable', why accept devolution as a way forward? 

     

    My view is that many fans need to finally understand that football is a business. Clubs are businesses and many of them are vessels for billionaire owners who don't care for the local communities much if at all. Fans are consumers of a product, a product that has been cultured through years of loyal servitude, traditions and community building which is now being monetized and siphoned by wealthier folk.

    So fans should change their perspective and treat it as what it is and not keep thinking professional football is something it hasn't been for years and years. 

    I didn’t say to get violent, that would be completely counterproductive and unacceptable. See the above.

    I'm not great pal, first two weeks after I could barely walk without significant pain in my left knee/leg/calf. The physio has said the same thing pre and post it that i've just aggravated the muscles and tendons from London and not given myself enough time to recover. Not specifically injured as such but i'm concerned.

     

    I think i'm on the cusp of tendonitis which is not pleasant so i'm having the whole of June off running and then will start to dip my toe back in. Been cycling and doing a lot of stretching.

     

    What's up with you injury wise? 

    I played football a week after doing my ultra and my groin went, but the problem was I’d paid a fortune to play in a charity match at KP 2 weeks later. Played in that, it went 10 minutes in and I carried on running around like a twat so I’m pretty sure I’ve torn it. Almost a month on and i still get pain when I get out of bed or turn quickly. I’m generally alright running short distances but I probably shouldn’t be doing them.

    West Ham fans stormed their executive boxes, Everton chased players out of the city. We just boo a bit. 

     

    And what will the OP suggest we do in the ground to make it less "toxic"? 

    The thing is, in a strange way that is almost more acceptable than calling them C unts online though because its action that generally will make them want out, where as what we tend to do is just make the players hate us and want out but continue to feel safe enough to stay with us for a good opportunity.

     

    I’ve been speaking to a few Fulham fans in the states and they couldn’t believe Vestergaard turned them down thinking he was above them. We’ve seen it with our own eyes throughout the last few years that the players hate us but are happy to be paid well above the going rate for their ability and attitude.

     

    I’m obviously not encouraging violence, but at this stage we should either be ready to force change through more protests or back the club and hope they somehow stumble their way to a point where we aren’t the car crash we are now.

    Unreal graft that is. That's double me and i've done a marathon block and then an ultra. Admittedly doing those two so close together has ground me to a halt as i'm either injured or just fcuked and need to allow myself time to recover. I won't do that again as I think this will end up costing me more cumulative distance than having not trained for either but just kept my eye in week in, week out.

     

     

    I was going to ask how your body is holding up after that, I’ve picked up the worst injury I’ve had in years after mine.

  6. Been in the states for about a week and this trip is going to do lasting damage to my fitness 😂 managed to do a few shorter runs so far though.

     

    Boston is a great city to run in, trails/paths along the river with literally hundreds running on all the time. Did 5k in Houston yesterday after a stormy day and the humidity was insane. No shock that there were literally no other runners out.

    I know people slate Winks, but he is one of our best players. Can’t see him staying, especially after the fans’ pissy fit.

    A lot to unpack here, but ‘pissy fit’? 😂

    I usually have a keen interest on Leicester players at the world cup but struggling to get behind him. Just feels like he went AWOL in the crunch periods of the season. Only one is maybe Souttar with Australia

    I know he went missing but saying you have more interest in Harry Souttar who has been a terrible signing and played about 3x in 3 years over Abdul is the most Foxes Talk thing I’ve ever read.

    Any Foxes fans on here who live in Boston, Mass? (Not Boston, Lincs).

    My son and I are going to Boston for 5 days to see the England vs Ghana match, and I wondered if anyone has any recommendations for sports bars to watch other matches while we're there, or if there's any must-see places to visit during our stay?

    Loving Boston so far, it’s all pretty walkable so easy to get around.

     

    I did the whale watching tour yesterday, you absolutely can’t come here and not do that. We were surrounded by about 20 humpback whales for a good hour.

     

    Been up the View Boston platform in the Prudential building as well, good views but usual tourist trap price wise.

     

    Quincy market is good for food. Where abouts are you staying? Just been to an unreal American Diner called Charlie’s Sandwich Shop which I would recommend.

    Oh no it's raining and the millionaires are scared to play. Oh there's lightning also. NFL games have been on under worse conditions for decades. 

    "Modern" football and "modern sensitive" people in full force. 

    Oh let's not forget it's all about Trump. 

    And the Russians. It's their fault.

    NFL teams play on artificial surfaces, not waterlogged turf. Not everything is a conspiracy.

    And NFL isn’t actually played with the ball on the floor is it, bizarre post.

    The draw has been made (recorded as it was done) and allocations should be with everyone on the email addresses shared.

     

    Check your junk/spam folder if not received and if reading on a phone click 'download full message' to get the video and shortened hyperlink to results.

     

    Good luck to everyone and thanks for the support!

    I’ve pinged you an email as the link isn’t working for me. Cheers
