0-4 with a missed penalty (who am I kidding, that would involve being in their box) and Harvey to score the 4th and look really sheepish / embarrassed and not wanting to celebrate it.

Don’t mind where he gets his forty winks. Actually I do, particularly as he’s supposedly one of the leaders in the group. How can they have midnight feasts and play fart tennis without him? More concerned about faulty Winks - sloppy passes in dangerous areas and stopping running v West Ham when he’d only been on for 10 minutes.

It was going a yard wide but Ward scooped it back before rolling over the line with it

Defend the badge is one thing he doesn't do. Come matchday it's "You were s**t and stopped chasing last time, here's a shirt you’re starting, you were s**t and stopped chasing last time, here's a shirt you're starting......" over and over again.

A medical warning from Dr Fazzyfox - I strongly recommend you pick a random game involving 2 other sides and support one of them, celebrating as if they were your own team. Otherwise, if and when we eventually score the increase in blood pressure and use of certain arm and shoulder muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints after so long without exercising them could result in thousands of “ Ouch….ooh ya bugger” moments as things ping, strain, snap, cramp and rupture. Stewards and St John’s Ambulance will be running around with slings, bandages and stretchers like the opening credits of Mash. Not to mention the feinting in dis-belief. It’ll be carnage.

next time we hear “Number 3…Wout Faes!” - that’s the moment we’ll know.

After 4 months or so there’s still no sign of a style, philosophy or of any part of the team working and improving. No new ideas other than finally switching to 3 CBs, something most of us would have looked at earlier. OK one of the three is Thomas but still hardly radical or forward thinking. it really has the feel of a side not being managed by a manager. Dean Smith managed more, yes he had Maddison, Barnes, KDH, Evans and an on the beach Tielemans but he had some identity. The biggest bugbear for me is handing a start to players who stopped trying in the previous game. Smith did this with Tielemans and Soumare, Ruud is doing this with several. Select Faes, you are guaranteed F***ups at CB, select Soumare guarantees the same in midfield. What level of post match analysis do they use? Show us you have something or fall on your sword.

On the same day that they announced a 12 foot high gold-plated statue of Rudkin ??? The launch of a range of tasty and affordable concourse food???? The abandonment of digital ticketing? That Someone scored a goal in training? Dennis Wise to be next manager? All this in one morning???

They put that contract in front of Ward to sign but thankfully he kept dropping the pen

Forget Roy of The Rovers, him managing this mob would be Wellens of the Be**ends

I predict they’ll blow it I predict they’ll blow it

Vardy - “Right guys, it looks like Ruud’s dropped us right in it again, he’s selected Faes, Vestergaard, Justin, Soumare, Ayew, but if we can just stay in the game he might sub on some proper players 2nd half.”

Yes I do, a Mr W.H.Smith started a successful nationwide chain of newsagents whilst Ade Smith just sits at home in Basingstoke writing to newspapers

We'll put the left back in The right back out In out in out Then just run about We're just a bleedin' joke-y That fool around Cause that's what we're all about, HEY!

The thread made me think of old Motty bless him

A reserve game a couple of years before they were popularised as family night football, it was Vs Newcastle, not many in the ground which compounded the issue, frosty, freezing cold and absolute **** match. Felt really unwell, turned to mate and in synch we said “This is ****”, so decided to leave at half time. Took ages to find someone to let us out and I think half the team were tempted to follow us out.

Those Albania fans bless ‘em. Putting the shirt on, grabbing a flag and heading to a game where you’re inevitably going to lose 2,3,4-0, and doing that again and again. I mean, Imagine doing that

Foden has looked a bit lukewarm this season. 5-0 to Man City, Foden hat-trick .

We'll be coming into this off the back of a two week unbeaten run

We would be the least deserving survivors of all time including those turgid Everton sides of recent years. It would not happen though. It would not be just our opportunity, Ipswich would see it as theirs too. Their game vs us would be seen by them as their opportunity to take 3 points not ours and in the other games they’re bound to get more points than us - we don’t even score any goals. It May at least give the remaining games a “something to play for” incentive but with this squad it’s the fans who would take motivation from that and not the players. It would be all talk as usual “We have to take this opportunity that has opened up for us blah blah blah” then come Saturday give up chasing back whilst Ruud continues to select bomb scares who are each worth a one goal handicap before we’ve even kicked off. We have no momentum, it’s like trying to jump without a run up, we have nothing, another 2-3 points won’t be enough to finish above Ipswich.

There will be a statement that asks us to stick together, outlines the long term sustainability of the club is secure (to exist but in reality nothing else) and points firmly at FFP and says "Always was going to be a challenging season", "Have to stay within the rules blah blah blah", completely overlooking that we were allowed to spend some money and chose, generally, the wrong players and wrong managers. And ignore that FFP is not some external factor completely out of our control, we overspent for years with crazy contracts which is why we are in this situation and Fulham, Brentford, Palace, Wolves and others aren't. The same people making the same bad decisions and nothing changes.

I think Southampton will be 0-0 so not that day but Ipswich will be a more open game which we lose 2-1 or 3-1. Yay a goal .

Mid October in the 2097 season....this dude scores

Can just one of the happy clappers come on here and explain what the applause at the end was actually for? I’m a polite, well mannered person, I believe the applause in defeat is usually an appreciation of effort, well, what effort? Feel sorry for Mads, Vardy deserves better players around him, other than that, what? You clapped Clown Faes for his “effort” and “performance”? Soumare? Coady, Justin, Winks? What did you see in them? Are you a seal? Are you unwell? You’re telling the board you’re happy with what’s being served up and we wonder why they don’t act in a decisive pro-active way. Happy clap the caterers, ambulance men and stewards as they put more competence into last night that Wout Faes.
