Just out of curiosity/call it a hunch, have you ever spent a night in Wout's wheelie bin with a vacuum flask, sandwiches, high powered zoom binoculars and a hunting knife?

Yeah that was a great day, we filled out that end of the ground, they were either in the Prem or smashing the granny out of the Championship and that Scowcroft winner right in front of us at the death was sweet!

It was completely different, there was no real disconnect like there is now with the club, just a bunch of sub par players who tried their best but ultimately weren't much cop. The relegation felt like an inevitability after many years of circling the drain. Now? Just totally out of love with the club, the owners, the players and the game in general which is really sad after what's happened over the last 12 years.

Ah cheers, that was me. Was out walking the dog and fancied a rant. That dick after me. So obviously a KPFC disciple.

Gonna miss his drive and eye for goal.

You're absolutely right - it's everything that's wrong with the current new breed of Temu Pep's that are stinking out the game. Everything has to be straight off a playboard with any idea of spontaneity or left field thinking completely dismissed or not even considered. Man alive, even when we had actual functioning effective centre forwards back in the 90s, the managers at the time spotted a way to win matches by throwing a big fella with decent feet up top (Walshy, Elliott) who would be a nuisance and who knew where the goal was. And now, we have our own Temu Pep persisting with one of Daka/Ayew and the competition winner Carranza when week after week after week after week, it doesn't work. He obviously doesn't think Evans is the solution, so find another solution. He wouldn't even think of chucking Vesty (or whoever) up top, because in the new world order of bland, sterile, by the numbers football, thinking out of the box isn't part of their makeup. I just want to add the thought of Lurch being our lord and saviour who propels us to Championship glory makes me feel a little bit queasy, but I can't deal with seeing the same old nonsense every week with the same result.

Has anyone got a decent stream for the game that they can DM me? Ta.

Haha even Wilder's trolling us by giving Cannon a start

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Ayew Over a 16 year career and nearly 500 games, he's averaging a goal every 6.5 games, playing in teams like Palace, Marseille and Villa. I dont mind the bloke, but pinning your hopes on him bagging winners at any kind of regular intervals is always likely to end up in disappointment.

Some mental takes on this thread. We're a club that absolutely stunk out the Prem last season setting new records of laughable awfulness, a fanbase (rightly) disillusioned and disconnected with the club, owners who have zero idea about how to communicate with the fans, not a pot to pee in transfer kitty wise, and no striker of any note likely to get into double figures this season, therefore making winning games and getting promotion a massive challenge. Having walked into this huge faeces fest, Marti has made a decent start, and anywhere near the playoffs with all of the above being considered will be a hell of an achievement.

Carranza sub appearances have been totally electric/transformative *reaches for Ketamin*

It's Tater Peeler all day long. All of the others who are getting honourable mentions (Holloway, Levein, Megson, Please, Cooper, RVN, Mclintock) were all shit under pretty bleak conditions. Taylor managed to dismantle a fantastic side who's stock was high, alienated the likes of Walsh from the get go and had a ridiculously inflated view of his own ability as a manager. His time saw us go from perennial top half PL finishers to relegated and the club financially at its darkest point.

What's everyone's favourite Woyo moment?

Think he'll need a little time, to think things over

Demarai masterclass incoming

Hopefully he gets a statue to commemorate his time with us here

He's definitely at training. 43 seconds in.

I haven't seen anything from him to suggest he'll go full on 'Winks' with us so I'd be made up to have him here. Has that X Factor that none of the rest of the midfield mob have.

The silence from the club is absolutely deafening. If there was to be even a hint that there would be some reinvestment of the 60 million that's come in, you'd be prepared to cut them some slack...everything that was great about us has been slowly dismantled leaving a pub team, a club that has no clue about building a relationship with the fans, a soon to be half empty stadium and a (rightly) hacked off fanbase. Depressing.

Can anyone knock up a 'Shipman In' Tifo?

Bear with me (I've not been drinking, honest) but in light of our current lethargic shambles of a midfield that we currently have with zero drive or ability to beat a man, is it not worth putting him in the midfield pivot instead of Soumare. At least he shows regularly a desire to drive forwards (albeit at centre half that leaves lurch on his own). I caveat this by saying I feel physically sick writing this, but I can't bear to see either of Soumare or Winks in a City shirt again.

As a fellow Uki, I can tell you it's pronounced Tver-dock-lib

I hate this club. I get some people's views on him that we might be overrating him or he maybe hasn't delivered that much, but he quite clearly has the capability and potential to rip it up in this league, as opposed to Winks, Soumare and Skipp who never have and never will. LCFC just reminds me now of that car boot sale stand that has a few good bits that get picked up early, and all you're left with are Danny Baker Own Goals and Gaffs DVD boxsets, an alarm clock, a Spice Girls 1998 calendar and a signed photo of Chico X Factor.

A goal every 11 games. Gerrrrrrimin!!
