This is most certainly not just jumping on the bandwagon but he has to go, the man is a fraud. I remember during the last Euros I was very critical of Southgate and all my mates were outraged by it! We’ve arguably won one game in his time as England manager where we were evenly matched (the last 16 match versus Germany) aside from that this is his record at major tournaments (which apparently makes him the messiah) Last minute goal vs Tunisia to win 2-1 Beat Panama Lost to Belgium Beat the mighty Colombia on Pens Beat Sweden Lost to Croatia (who were there for the taking) Lost to Belgium Beat Croatia 1-0 in thee most boring game ever Drew with Scotland Beat Czech Rep 1-0 Beat Germany 2-0 (the good result) Beat Ukraine Beat Denmark after a dodgy pen Lost to Italy at Home Every time aside from that Germany game (and this isn’t a Germany team of 10 years ago) any time we play anyone half decent if comes unstuck. We should have beaten Croatia in the World Cup semis, this wasn’t Brazil, France or Argentina, it was a side with a 34 year old Mandzukic up front and Dejan ****ing Lovren at centre half! Hardly vintage Then lose to Italy at home in a final who less than 12 months later fail to even qualify for their 2nd consecutive World Cup! We’ve been half successful in spite of Southgate not because of him. Anyone half decent and we’d have won one of those tournaments

I do think countries included our own should have boycotted it. All it would have taken is a big nation, England, Germany, Brazil etc to have made a stand I reckon the others would have followed suit (much like last years Super League). It was bad enough the World Cup was awarded to Qatar in the circumstances it was with the clear bribery and most people responsible now being found guilty but the stories which have been uncovered since makes this abhorrent to the extreme. Slave Labour leading to thousands of deaths is just being thrown away as a common headline! Whilst FIFA promote the beautiful game. And that’s not to mention the other human rights violations and dangers to certain groups of society and will be persecuted for how they want to live their life it’s an utter disgrace top to bottom

L'pool /Spurs/W.Ham Why/where did it turn toxic
Staffs Fox replied to fuchsntf's topic in Leicester City Forum
I have a very personal dislike for Spurs which stems from the 99 League Cup final. Where at Wembley, as a 12 year old, I was subjected to horrendous verbal abuse from their fans even after they’d scored their late winner. I remember even at that age thinking ‘why are they more concerned about insulting a child than celebrating a late winner in a cup final??’ but there we have it. You'd think I’d be over it but I’m not! One League Cup since to show for it since you c*nts, you defo should have focused on celebrating more😂😂 -
Rennes Away (Travel Plans)
Staffs Fox replied to The Year Of The Fox's topic in Ticket News and Travel
I’m getting the 7.30 from Luton to Paris on the Thursday morning and then it looks like about a 2 hour train journey from there. Should get to Rennes about 1-2ish -
As someone from there, you are absolutely spot on😂

Everybody (apart from the Man United board it seems) knew he wasn’t worth that money when we sold him, it was Andy Carroll to Liverpool level of stupidity but he was decent for us. With that said when a Man United fan at work was taunting me about them ‘stealing’ one of our best players (I think you’ll find one Club was stealing but it wasn’t Man United) I said to him he wasn’t even our best centre half, Jonny Evans was, he just laughed. I was being deadly serious. Maguire was great bringing the ball out, decent passer and good in the air but his positional sense was a good as a pissed bloke who’d been on the waltzers for an hour and he moved like an oil tanker in treacle. It is mad he’s a guaranteed starter for them given his form over the past 2.5 years

Honestly who do people want to get in if we got rid?? He’s not blameless but the players must take the brunt of this. Rodgers selected a decent (on paper) side, the players showed no passion or desire against one of our biggest rivals as defending champions. That’s unforgivable. Big summer coming up and honestly I’d only be gutted to lose Justin, Fofana, Ndidi and Daka. The rest could easily go
-
That’s actually a very sensible and fair solution. Which probably means it won’t be implemented

I’ve personally always felt politically connected to Liverpool and found the people of the City to generally stick up for what is right. Last night I was embarrassed to hear some of the chants from our own supporters. Poverty is not a laughing matter and has no place inside a football stadium. As for some of the darker chants, needless to say they have no place in any part of society. Rivalries are what makes football and by all means sing about past managers, players and generally be a brutal as you want but having a pop at people unable afford to eat is not banter. Of course it’s not the people at the ground it’s aimed at but that’s not the point We are better than that and last night after such a great performance it’s annoying that this is even a thing. Sections of their crowd are not blameless but doesn’t mean we should stoop to those levels

Liverpool away! Klopp doesn’t usually take this completion serious so if they play a team similar to the team they put out against Preston we could win that

That is some bloody goal that!

Norwich 1-2 Leicester - Post Match Thread
Staffs Fox replied to justfoxes's topic in Leicester City Forum
6 points is a decent return and this pre International games/transfer window period is always a bit of a weird time anyway. I have no doubt that come September when we have a few players back, our signings will have had more time to adjust and maybe a signing or two, our side and look and play completely differently. onwards and upwards -
It’s like Van Dijk hasn’t been away, he’s a phenomenon
-
Zero truth in this, They want Abraham and it’s just a late negotiation tactic. 3 years left on his deal and our top scorer last season. Move on, nothing to see
-
I just cannot believe how far this club has gone in 10-12years! I remember starting my first proper job after Uni in 2008 and literally getting laughed at by Cov and Villa fans when I said who I supported! 2 League Winning Promotions, a world class training ground, an FA Cup, Charity Shield, Champions League QF, a god damn Premier League win later and now this! What a truly magnificent time to be a Leicester fan and god knows we deserve after the 00’s Enjoy it guys, this is great

Wolves for me but they don’t seem to be an option unless I’m just being blind
-
I had No Fuchs or Given last year (which was factual correct as I didn’t select Christian or Shay in my team) but randomly half way through the season got told to change it. I couldn’t be arsed so I had CHANGE NAME as my team for the 2nd half of the season
-
If he goes does anyone not think it’s because we want him to? He’s far from a guaranteed starter, goes missing for huge chucks and if we can get £60m+ to reinvest in players we want then our recent record shows we should. Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer to keep Maddison but I could see why we’d be willing to sell
-
Exactly I love the 3 Lions song and it is without doubt the best football song ever in my opinion (the hipsters with their World in Motion opinions can do one) but it is massively misunderstood by the masses. It’s a song about Englands glorious failures and despite being let down time and again, we still support them. Also it’s coming home was a reference to the tournament being held in England, nothing more.

Surely King Power wouldn’t still be on the away kit?

Best Goal You've Seen... Scored AGAINST Us
Staffs Fox replied to jimsmallman's topic in Leicester City Forum
Sigurdsson a few seasons back for Everton did this Cruyff turn past one of our players (Maddison I think) and hits this absolute belter in the top corner from 30 yards. I was right behind it in the ground and applauded it. I got some funny looks but sometimes you just have to appreciate witnessing quality -
I cannot believe this guy is 20! He genuinely could become the best centre half in the world. Scary how good he’ll be in 5 years time
-
This is not hyperbole, bias or the fact I’ve had 10 beers and absolutely buzzing but we really are the greatest team in the country! I don’t mean in history but I mean right now. Seeing our owner be embraced as he was and lift a major trophy as if he’s our captain whilst other top clubs are rioting to displace theirs just goes to show how lucky we are. On the pitch, off the pitch we’re a beacon on how things should be done FA Cup Winners and now to secure Champions League football. Enjoy tonight guys and drink this in, we are truly blessed and fortunate to support this magnificent football club

Southampton A Post Match Thread
Staffs Fox replied to urban.spaceman's topic in Leicester City Forum
Jesus ****ing Christ some of the comments in here are embarrassing! Anyone would think we were in Sheffield Uniteds place and just got stuffed 4-0 at home to West Brom. We drew away, against a decent team who sat back for most of the game and made it really difficult. We’re 8 points clear of 5th with 4 games to go and have an FA Cup final to look forward to in 2 weeks. I suggest people log off their computers/phones, have a beer and enjoy their bank holiday weekend. Things aren’t really all that bad
