Philogene is not my lover

I live in Southampton and I’ve been dreading this game. Wearing the shirt to work tomorrow.

With the famous failures to make realistic statues of footballers (Kane and Ronaldo in particular), I’d like to see a statue that maybe doesn’t have too realistic a face. But it should be absolutely obviously Vardy - like an impression of him. Something like the cupped ears or the sh*thouse eagle celebration from Palace. Give him the Mohawk though.

Ipswich look like champions. They’ll go straight back down, but they’re playing like we should be.

I didn’t see the phrase “hate crime” in the article, but we’re all getting a bit worried about it. “Tragedy chanting” certainly stops short of the definition of a hate crime which is probably why it has its own punishment/ repercussion. it feels like there is a very short list of clubs against whom this law could be used. Prestigious company?

Mentality is miles behind Southampton. Sad to say that.

You shouldn’t be allowed to tackle like that.

Looks like a strong bench until players start coming off it

I’d like to beat these at full strength. If Ipswich drop points at Leeds, or if they draw, this 3 points is enough to make the Ipswich games immaterial. I didn’t mind losing to Leeds, because we picked those points back up really quickly.

If palace signed Bacuna to join their main striker, they’d have no worries for the rest of their days.

By Sunday the 20 minute extended highlights will be out on LCFC YouTube. I’ve found them useful this year. We’d never get that in the prem.

Heard their manager called Paul Cooper and Steve Cook by these commentators. Making it clear that they didn’t need to learn his name.

Honestly starting to hate us.

When I was bout 8 I went to see the Leicester players off onto the coach before an away game at Coventry. I lived near Belfast (Army dad) at the time and that was as close as I'd been to a game in my recent memory. I got a few autographs and met a very curt Martin O'Neill. When I wished Muzzy good luck he asked if I had tickets to the game. When we said no he told us to wait right there before coming back half hour later with tickets for me and my dad. We drew 0-0 but I considered that one of the best football memories of my life. I love Muzzy to bits.

I wouldn’t mind a new sponsor if it made us money, but I’d be annoyed if it were a betting company. I assume that having KP probably makes The owners money even if it’s bringing less into the club than other sponsors might

This is my favourite thread.

Commentators who used to be players. It might be an American term. You have a professional commentator and someone with pitch experience to add 'colour'.

This is spot on. I think that Scott does her research and comes into games with talking points in mind, where a lot of men who've been doing it for a while just turn up and wing it. I always thought that to be a successful woman in sport you have to work harder than men and she's a great example of that. You have to give women and BAME commentators the chance to sink or swim based on merit, and I think Scott is swimming. TBF, colour commentators are often terrible, so it's a lottery every time we turn the TV on. The amount of collective hours we have spent watching Garth Crooks on BBC, we should be grateful that people like Alex Scott are breaking through.

It is only one match away!

And every touch of the ball sounds like a cannon

Imagine thinking the idea that Black Lives Matter is outdated.

Sack all pundits. I'd rather just hear a ten minute Madders interview on each game.

People rate Amartey much more highly than I do, but I don't think we've ever seen him have a run in the team. All the best to him. Prove FT right!

What a bizarre advert. Ignoring the respective positions of these two..."Relegation bound Fulham and Battling Sheffield Utd."
