Who finishes what n where in the fight for. 7th-4th does not interest me one iota in any biblical terms.. Those type of emotions are reserved for my own 2 clubs Foxes & BvB..

He pulls on the shirt, wears the badge, he gets all my support.. HE hasn't done has bad has some posters love to crow on about.. His last appreances with Enzo were OK. HE has the potential these next 19 games to perform & proof his worth.. I did say the one thing that could stop our drive through the championship would be long term injuries and suspensions KDH, Ndidi, Castadei( loan ended) leaves us short in midfield routine.. Again another pairing has to be forged, it's a question how deep ( in quality) does our squad go... Obviously we wait and see in these extra days, what Enzo can pull out of the squad bag... Mads Ricardo Faes Vestergrd Doyle Justin Winks Mcateer choudhury. Mavididi Cannon Or Mads Justin Faes Vestergaard Doyle Winks Ricardo Praet Mcateer. Mavididi Cannon Or Akgun for Praet.. Subs Vardy Choudhury Akgun/Praet Nelson Albrighton Starsky Marcal Coady Maswanhise

A guy is willing to change course in mid-career,people love to jump up and create variables, and ride the told you so Brigade. Those stories stay where they belong,on paper, while his story belongs in the media and supporters following this young man’s challenge.. Good. Luck youngman,have the audacity and mental aptitude to prove the doubters wrong….I’ve seen both sides,some return not because of failure,but preference to their original loves..Simular to RU/RL swap outs..

No,no,no.. The CL is our super league competition Thats enough.. But most of the big clubs around Europe have said No, from terraces to Boardroom.. Its some idea from a rich fluty,convincing big mate contacts in 3-4 clubs….Trying to keep pressing until he finds some more yeses. Its like a 3rd degree treatment,that isn’t hitting the right buttons,but the mafia baron isn’t listening, He is still trying his hard guy, tactics because the moron spoilt brat cant take no for an answer… If it goes down, future supporters have to decide.If my club remains humble and competes in the traditional way,I would carry on my support, If they fall in linewith a super league…140yrs down the drain…!!! The PL was an intern process,whether right or wrong it didn’t change too much,working within traditional but modern rules.. Extended society with CL ,more than the champions, depends on your opinion and perspective.Also creating other European cup competitions,is not abusingtraditional ways,it’s keeping within a certain sanctury of league position qualification…creating a super league cuts out the natural competition and creates elittism..

I would like to see a basic version of VAR… no involvement in fouls. Refs / linesman calls.Give refs experience in picking up on fouls,and how to work around the players. linesman must have more recognition. Time also,no players allowed,let me repeat allowed within 5 metres of ref,when descision is made except captain,and 30 seconds chat time and finish. if players don’t retire,sin bin yellow/ or letter from tribunal delivering delayed ban. plus once ball is placed,oppo players must retire the acquired 10 metres within 5secs.refs call. offside.. Goalmouth incidents. Goal checks..

I Don't DISAGREE, I was just explaining the Why's... My solution would be.. A minnows WCup/Asian/AFCON.. Where finalists or semifinalists qualify for the Next full step up.

It's trying to involve a few more nations, w who will be harping on, on business deals..At Projection level, even losses helps. Participation is the key word.. Aussies have an high spread culture in Sport... Other nations are not so fortunate..

This is what I also said in the Rudkin topic... People in his position and recruitment manager Glover... Effect of Covid plus FFP, will put constraints on our reinvestment of players then obviously other clubs Promotion and the awaited transfer window doesn't any more automatically mean we will see any great or large movement, In our, or other clubs reinvestment of believed high quality players. NOT Even being able to close out any deals on the middle level... Academy, or finds like Mahrez, or a Justin tzpe of deal, are maybe our only Markets, with an odd forage into Fatawu or Cannon levels.. Whch isn't a too bad a thing....

4th Round ties: Bournemouth v Swansea………..3-2 Bristol City v Forest ………… …….2-1 Chelsea v Villa…………………… …..1-3 Sheff Wed v Coventry …………….2-4 spurs v Man City………………………2-2 Ipswich v Maidstone……………….3-1 Everton v luton……………………..….2-2 Leeds v Plymouth …………………..3-1 Leicester v Birmingham …………4-2 Sheff Utd v Brighton ……………….2-2 Fulham v Newcastle ……………….3-3 WBA v Wolves……………………..……1-1 Watford v Southampton ………...2-3 Liverpool v Norwich………………….5-1 Newport v Man Utd…………………..1-1 Blackburn v Wrexham ……………..1-2

I can see Rudkin rightly….saying on Sensi to Enzo,“with ffp, we ain’t again going to invest in another player,with an history of injury “ Not forgetting we had taken on a younger Cannon with concerns . If Enzo was not aware of our reinvestment woes,and didn’t ask,more stupid him for not recognising the climate,across Europe… Get use to this trane of thought… We get promoted,Enzo is told from club.there is a minimal reinvestment scope & manouverability..Enzo being young,will most likely still want to stay,to see how he can develope his ideas and system with this squad with same or different loans & offers him the PL experience + challenge We buy Fatawu..must be the priority if we can close a deal Akgun & Castadei, LCFC future ( if possible) will depend on Ndidi future,and progress of Baybrooke & Alves,plus either again loan or >>buy if possible<< Doyle..Ditto..Though with Nelson,Justin,Choudhury, Souttar,no such panic. Or Enzo simply does not want the aggro to-take this club further,without decent access to funds.. Another thing I won’t Lambast Rudkin without knowing the full story,of how much his hands are tied behind his back due to FFP constraints…Clubs financial (KP) recovery,since COVID and those constraints. We have Rudkin,and Glover that have to work within those realities, not just the Coach/ manager,whoever that maybe.. Now despite our horror of relegation, we /club have shook ourselves down, took and gave a great chance on the manager/Coach. Gobsmacked ourselves,fans and the decent Pundits,into not just challenging for top 2,but presently put us in a at present incredible record untouchable position, to an immediate return to the PL… All the roles in %ages are at present,not yet been defined…

Great FA cup tie..Bpool & Forest… I wonder if there are late trains,or are Forest fans going to Race around like Del Boy to find digs for the night…

That's your opinion, I mean but for the love of God you person, he's going to end up being the one who will make us desperate to keep for next season, he will start to convert the chances, Ndidi use to miss.... Castadei, Mavididi, Cannon, Mcateer to step up to the plate,in the 19 game run in..

Maybe I misunderstood.. We beat Southampton away 4-1 Lost away to M'borough.. IF there is no complete collapse in our squad and system, even a loss against Ipswich would not define the EOS run in. Also later a defeat against Leeds. Enzo himself knows the reverses will follow us into and until the last game. It's how we stand & hold up to the rigours and challenges in the majority of the rest of the season, and what we/he learns and then improves & progresses upon.. Let's be silly and look how our fixtures pan out. 19 games. Every opponent including relegation candidates will have improved and fighting tooth and nail for every bits of scraps & recognition. The mid table teams ditto, with an eye on a good run, that gives them potential for top 8-5th.and slip into that last 6th or even 5th place.. Knowing full well teams collapse dramatically & others have that shot of adrenaline that sees them finish on a high. I do believe top 3 sorted, just order to be sorted.. Leeds could go either way, fight until the very end, or fall off after Aspirations shattered. Though I believe both them and WBA have enough to hold top 4 + 5.. Several teams are in that chase for that last play off place, Coventry might feel they are in the box seat even equipped to push into wonderland.. hoping for a collapse from any of the top 3. Just look at the table from 4th & 14th, Their Fixture run in, then work out permatations This is where XG and past 5 game form loses their drift, this the unknown fighter stage, major injury potential, bullish spirit takes over.. Add the top 3 still might not yet have got their gaff in order. Though I am confident they have. Around the championship end of January is where all teams release their dogs of war spirit.... Not one weekend defining any teams season until well into April , where then any end spit and spirit just might not be enough ( game over) but a few may still be in the hunt for those coveted positions. Many will look at Leeds VS Southampton But it could also be dead in the water and irrelevant by then.. My belief if The top 3 stay clear of major injury issues, they are uncatchable, they will have reverses and draws, but will stay well ahead of the game.. Leeds will irritate, but their Bark is worse than what their bite can offer, though they could well take single game laurels..

Ignoring this 50 shot challenge.. Castadei though scoring in his first game and then not really hitting the ground running early doors, has slowly proved his worth to team & squad. We have played 27 games, he has been involved from less. Are you lot seriously saying after ca. 18 games, where he has played OK, had a couple of Mom performances, you can judge a players Future in the negative and deny not being an asset to the squad.?? If Chelsea & Castadei agreed, I would take him on loan again next season. A piece of reality, I am not too sure how our FFP shadow will follow us, and what our Finances are towards investment, but by the EOS this guy would have built up his experience found his own happy ground and will be a great asset to the squad.. In this slot his position nobody is going to do 38 games, plus any cup runs. We will need from getgo players that can immediately mesh into the squad, that's why I would still take Praet, Castadei, Akun, Ndidi into that PL challenge. If by all surprises we can bolster our squad with 1-3 quality players, and then have a choice, Castadei/Ndidi would be the ones at this moment I would fight to keep.. By EOS, my view might change. From our present position, and Enzo/ club can conjure something up, then my hard replacements would be First priorities in this order.. 1..a player that covers Winks, but slot into other midfield role. 2. Another young striker 3 Another experienced CB. yonger than Coady. 4.Utility player for Bline & Midfield Before all those points , and knowing we will have FFP suppressed season, keeping Enzo will be paramount. Predicting if our squad can't cut it in the PL is hogwash, first let's get promotion. Then see what our alternatives are through the course of the summer.. WE ARE NOT going to be nonchently able to pick and choose.. Plus by encouragement, we need to support the owners and set up, in the background, unless it outrageously goes off course...

Why Everton 2 processes have gone through rather quickly, the question I have,why again has the Man.city story becoming a 3-5 yr Romance

Though not excusing Rudkin or player recruitment team(s) we have had,over 10-14 yr period and now this season starting anew.. I want to throw in also something else That hard nosed people forget and runs through KP and makes us what we are is Vichai legacy, no doubt carried on through Top,towards loyalties that is once in the club, looking after the KP family. It's not about keeping those that want to move on, we even seemed to push Players out a la Barnes, who would prefer to stay... And ones who have had offers and knocked on managers door to say I still want to be part of this squad... And this time around every single squad member has eventually found game time and become an inaugural, suprised member of the team despite a la. >FT early questioning postings< Vestergaard, Faes, Justin, Ndidi, Daka One could say, KP might be their own worst enemies in this direction, but it has also served us well over ten years. Even our various managers including Enzo has to accept it. FTers too willing to listen to noise and clickbait many leaning even towards own media who have just used ill advised vicious circle FT general feelings regurgitating in the media.. I myself prefer to take one root of thought... Every single buy has to take its intern the mixed natural process, Taking the chances & opportunities, riding poor form, wait 2-4 phases if Players are suitable, automatic hit, rekindled hopes, never at any stage get on any band wagon of negative incompetent posts, on players immediate or long term future... Even if like us who hit that rare peake of title though never rushed, brought some questionble players, or totally misused their qualities. Top 6 financially can afford these mishits, clubs like us just can't carry it.. Plus the level of quality we brought compared to top 6 have a lower level of financial return & career potential when trying to move on..Theirs can end up at RM or top Italian side.. Compared to other "Also rans" one negative we do top, despite title is having brought some players, that were just not worth the exhorbinate fees we originally paid. Though against all that, compare also our successes, late starters, rekindled careers, gobsmacking changes & seeing major cogs on hospital passes, actually return gametime and delivering top Mom performances.. Has it been that bad has we draw or somewhere between compared when outside commentators air their positive views.. FT do also carry baggage of diving early towards the negatives, not stopping to think on our successes.. or forced consequences. So on this topic, I have no hit back on Personal experience where responsibility lays.. Plus I won't jump on any easy ride soap-opera band wagon.. I just don't know.. and thrown in above, My view of different persepectives

Agree. I Posted a few years ago, what a great PL it could be if we could see.. . Leicester .A Villa Man. City Sheff..Utd Coventry Forest L'pool Birmingham Derby Sunderland WBA Arsenal Manutd Wolves Spurs Chelsea. Stoke Leeds Everton Newcastle

I had a time in Peterborough, plus cousins who worked in Peterborough, We together agreed most supported Peterborough.. quite a few also Tigers fans.. Around the shire Loughbourough and surrounding villages was my closest Association, living in Loughborough for a spell, my social life centered around it, even my sporting contacts, GF, students to various professions/trades, various new immigrants a right melting pot of local born, outside students, home students, and also a melting pot of immigrants from different lands... Most were Foxes/Tiger fans, once one sprawled around Villages, there was that divide, closer to Nottingham...then obviously the loyalties change. The biggest split around the villages was more often the Sport itself , Either Forest or city both sets having nothing then to do with Tigers/Nottingham RFC. Few like myself shared their own loyalties across sports. Quite a few stick in the muds..

most balanced post of the weekend, though others have also lent in this direction.. The part on the Rookie manager is what all fans have to hold and keep in our minds... Guys like e colleion of L'pool managers, and Revie took that moment and has they say, "the rest is history" Even if we still have a few bumps before us.. His first season has been fantastic, if one wants to go there. Even oveachieved.. Those of us that ride in the positive lane, couldn't forsee this ride Marasca has given us.. The System idea, the Squad, Enzo molding the squad into the system and getting an immediate transition, the players knit in has a team and individuals, and Enzo oversaw that every squad member and slotting in Academy players, that all got gametime. Nobody a failure, Enzo nurtured and nursed the ones that needed more gametime. The challenges and tests are far from over we are just in the middle of the beginning, and Leicester with Enzo could be in the midst of the mist at the borders of a new Era for club and his Career.. For me, we should relax sit back and enjoy... Though it shouldn't stop fans, questioning, even throwing in GameDay critic, opinions, or perspectives. So long as they hold a balance and accept we are far away from being the finished product... Plus our future financial situation, will play a massive role. Let's first enjoy the challenge of getting the job seen to, and not underestimate, our present players for future challenges...

I'll say again.. Fatawu dives in the air , no control.. Immediate red.. Good referering.. Fans still having a mare..

A lot of Coventry digs at Leicester All seem to want to immitate the "Goodies" in their delivery.. Whats even worse are then our own fans taking the bite..

Woof..

Yes.. I actually think many fans, are seeking answers, solutions to rhe Rarity of a defeat and over thinking the situation.. Enzo didn't come up with his usual magic this weekend and tended to go against the grain going into what seemed an immediate defensive mode. We took a bit of a slap that stings.. Well done Mr Robin's, our local lads may hurt more.. Somebody will have to suffer because of it.

I said everybody including commentators didn't see it, until replays came in.. Refs angle Penalty for taking KdH out, & decision Spot on.. Better than anyone in the ground and through TV and unless you personally were standing in an advantage point. it's alway bloody clever after the event.. Poor form from fans IMO.. dumping it on he ref.. WE have had a lot worse, this day didn't come near.. We has a collection lost the game and still with 10 men should of brought it home. Though I won't take anything from Coventry they applied the pressure that we allowed, and turned sidewards again to make space for each shot, they deserved their day..!! Accept it, and move on..

After all these posts right or wrong, even myself trying hard to balance the weekend out, being confident of our future path despite expecting some potholes.. I have a worry with how a team of our caliber, didn't pick up and take on the challenge even with 10 men. Maybe it's an Italian thing.. TO go into an automatic defensive screen, KdH and Winks tried to push us forward and sometimes shown anger towards their teammates, but Enzo even in post match interview hinted he gave way to a defensive fight, he also underestimated IMO on the day his own players.. proven by those occasional good moves creating decent shots at goal.. Enzo automatically gave ground, where it wasn't necessary, we only lost a winger, the backbone was still solid, but he failed to encourage it.. That said.. The loss won't define us or our season, but we didn't even try to pursue any idea we were the better side, we let it happen..
