Just a matter of time here. Need to get hold of the ball and give them something to think about

Jesus wept. Time to power through the hangover, see how many beers I can get down me before kick off to numb what is bound to be an absolute pasting.

Where you tunneling to? Next changing room?!

Completely agree- I know plenty are already there, but he's rapidly running out of the credit in the bank for his and Vichai's previous successes in my eyes. If he does get rid of Rudkin (or at least bring in some competent staff to oversee things), it's also a clean slate- the situation is far from lost.

He obviously cares. And that's more than can be said for some of the parasites running great clubs into the ground in this country. But he's put too much faith into a glorified PE teacher- he's a businessman and in business terms, it's a horrible decision. I'm not 'King Power out' just yet- still have hope that the penny will drop- but we've certainly pissed away our status as a top level club. Whether he's got the minerals to claim it back remains to be seen. Last chance saloon in my eyes.

If the players have put a shift in I'll stay. Even if they've been outclassed. But I don't know what to say about today, we didn't even try to lay a glove on them. I couldn't even be arsed to stay to voice my displeasure. The last 3 years have drained the passion away, for me.

I left early today- can't remember the last time. I watched Cunha stand there with the ball in the centre circle for 15 seconds towards the end, half the crowd thought the ref had blown for a foul. Absolutely bizarre, lack of effort today was disgusting.

Surely not

And he's put Ward in. He can be blamed for that, at least.

Spider Kalac? Going back 30 years there, mind

With Danny Ward as backup? It's far worse.

TIIIIIIIIIIIIGEEEERRRRRSSSSSS

Yeah, fair.

Aye, just being a tool- doesn't sound too bad.

They really are useless aren't they. Stick some decent food and beers on and they'd make a killing.

Prophetic.

Overreaction central. Let's see what the second half brings, eh?

The Fox Travel experience for a fraction of the price.

You've been on here long enough to know how it works.

Yep. It's not this kind of game which will define whether we stay up or not- if we see a bit more structure and limit them to less than 20 shots on goal then it's progress in my eyes (granted, a very low bar)

I certainly remember him playing very well against Man City that season- uncoinicdentally the only time we didn't play the suicidal high line.

If it's Hamza, he'll do a job as he normally does. Probably a good game to have him in as well, with their physicality in midfield.

Think we're past the point of that making any difference now- global audience/market will dwarf the UK.

I ****ing hate Sky.

Probably more like us under Shakespeare, knowing our luck.
