Jason Bell is so fvcking annoying. How is he still on Sky.

Gotta disagree with the five hundred different people to just say it's a good test. If we've any sense we'll play a team like the one from yesterday and it won't really tell us much at all. We aren't going to win the FA Cup and right now it's mostly just a distraction and fatigue that our players don't need. I would hope we won't play the first team at all.

Knowing how our patterns of play work, knowing how we build, knowing how we create chances, why the fvck are any of you worried having watched this? We're obviously struggling. We don't have key players in any position on the pitch to progress the ball or create anything. If we could have just forfeited this game we would have. It's literally just for the players that haven't played to get fitness. Stop taking it so seriously ffs. Honestly if you can't calm down and accept that we don't care about winning this game, just turn it off and go enjoy the rest of your Saturday. This is not a game worth getting wound up about.

Some of the over reactions in here are crazy. We've put out an absurdly makeshift team and are really obviously just going through the motions to get the match done and dusted so we can get back to the league. Really obvious we don't give a fvck about the cup.

He's more reliable on Leicester than Ornstein. Ornstein never, ever has exclusives on us. What absolutely would not surprise me is that Brighton or Brentford have leaked something to Ornstein, who usually has stuff on the London clubs, to put a bit of pressure on. And in turn Leicester have told Dorsett they aren't interested in selling. That's it. They're possibly hoping to unsettle KDH but can't see that happening at all.

If Connor Gallagher is worth 80 to Spurs, 30 is daylight robbery for KDH.

We obviously aren't selling our best player for tens of millions just to be able to afford to replace Casadei with a £2m player.

And he's never been reliable on Leicester

Yes he fvcking does

There is literally no chance this happens. It doesn't make any sense. If we're at risk of failing the Championship FFP rules, quite frankly, so what. They can't stop our promotion. At the end of the season, we've got a significant amount of wages leaving the wage bill not to mention prize money and television revenue bumps for going up. You don't get halfway through a season in which you're running away with the league and then sell your best player. And when was the last time David Ornstein had an exclusive on LCFC news? It's just nonsense. People need to calm down.

It was and this is. I'll donate £20 to a charity of your choosing if this happens.

If anyone believes this I've got a bridge to sell them.

Finners to play blindfolded on the M1

But all they've "cheated" is laws that shouldn't really exist that say Man United can spend a billion a season but another club in the same city can't because they don't sell as many shirts in Asia and the Americas. Pardon me for not giving a fvck about that. Everton and Forest, by contrast, have escaped relegations that have significantly damaged clubs they were competing with who stuck to the rules. They've also spent drastically and dangerously beyond their means and put the futures of their clubs and even their wider communities at risk due to negligence, arrogance and ineptitude. The two just aren't the same. Oh and if anyone thinks I'm only saying that because we're involved now, go back and read a thread about Man City when we missed out on the Champions League cos we were part of the top six, Everton were irrelevant to us and Forest weren't even dreaming of the Prem. I was saying the same shit back then. FFP is completely irrelevant at the top of the market and, frankly, is a con. But protecting clubs at risk from themselves because they're economically precarious? That shit is important. I'm really glad people have started talking about "sustainability" as a buzz word more than "fair play" because the latter is a hilarious misnomer but the former is vital to the future of the sport.

Much, much better loan for him. Good move that fair enough. Wish him well.

I dont mean to make out they're some poor disadvantaged club. They obviously aren't. But I hate the narrative that A. they're only succesful because of money and B. what they've spent is unfair to the other big clubs. United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool all spend horrific amounts of money and all have disgusting resources. Telling Man City they can't spend theirs because they're not the established elite isn't helping anyone except those four. And pretending like Man City aren't an exceptionally well run club and ignoring what they do well is how United and Chelsea have managed to wind up as mid table muck with billions in crap assets.

You expect delusional and entitled from their fans. Is that the club actually putting it on their scoreboard? Fvck it dock them more points just for that the cheating cvnts. Think they're massively over estimating how much the rest of the country or league is with them. Imagine being one of their fellow relegation / bottom half teams that have been sticking to the rules. Its absolutely rank and disgusting how much money they've spent over the last decade. Making out like they're the poor bullied underdog actually makes me a bit sick.

That's such extreme denial it has to be satire surely.

That's objectively untrue. https://www.football365.com/news/transfers-premier-league-five-year-net-spend-man-utd-man-city

Yeah but Daggers doing a heel turn in defending this muck is worth the admission fee. Watching a FoxesTalk Legend jump the shark in real time? Come on.

Not sure I like abuse of any player, obvious Wiseesque examples aside. Left a bad taste in the mouth seeing everyone mocking the Smithies retirement for example. But I don't have a problem with people being happy to see players like Praet finally leave. It's not his fault he's been here draining money off us for his entire contract and we've really struggled to get rid of him but that's still been a significant problem for us. Think you can delight in him finally going and state that he wasn't good enough as a footballer to be here without calling him a cvnt or something.

Going to correct the last bit as Cult Hero but I'm not popular enough for that.
