Yep, me and the other half love it. Each episode is like a mini-movie. Better than Stranger Things IMO.

I don’t see why people are arguing over this. We got a points deduction AND were too shit to overcome it. Crap owner, crap management, crap coaching, crap culture and crap players are what got us relegated. It’s not one specific thing. The players don’t exonerate the management and vice versa.

Proper 9-pointer this one.

You don’t know this. Some players respond well to negative feedback. Maybe a bit of anger/emotion in him would actually help him to put a shift in. Maybe, had he not been booed, we would have lost. Maybe had he been booed more earlier in the season we wouldn’t have got relegated. You don’t know anything, same way I don’t. None of this stuff is facts. He got booed because he’s a *****, end of.

Yeah, but they are still professional sportsmen, supposed high achievers. They have been ran ragged by opposition on a fraction of their earnings all season. When does pride, embarrassment, professionalism etc kick in? I’m well paid for my job, and could do less for the same money, but don’t, as I don’t want to look like a muppet. I just find it very weird. The only thing that makes sense to me is that they collectively hate the club and management. I understand people downing tools if they feel let down or there is resentment present. But **** knows what this lot have got to moan about. If it’s the team failing that’s on them!

What I will never understand is what someone who can do something well, but makes a conscious decision not to, thinks they are getting out of it. This squad is disliked and will have bad reputations forever - wouldn’t they have been better off just working hard all season? People say it’s because the players don’t care - and I agree - but this shit show of a season negatively affects them too. They don’t care about the club, or the fans, but surely they care about their own sense of self-worth, not to mention future earning potential? I just don’t understand the psychology of it.

Utter WINKER

Yep, 3-0 up and he’s mad because they weren’t playing like he wanted them to. Proper weird.

Yep! That was it.

For me, Rodgers bollocking the team at half time even though we were winning. Can’t remember who we were playing though.

It’s the club culture. One of apathy and laziness and nowhere near enough emphasis on excellence. Everyone gets an easy time of it, taking lots of money despite the entire system having an extremely poor output. Most of our players would have been significantly better in regards to attitude and application in a culture that demanded high standards. In addition, some of them wouldn’t be here if the culture demanded high standards. They would never have been bought. The players are unfit and lazy as they haven’t been pushed enough to not be. They are poorly coached because nobody is setting standards for the coaches. New managers walking into this culture have no chance as a lone voice. Incredibly weak leadership. It should have one goal - success on the pitch - but there are obviously lots of other factors at play, that have destroyed the culture and ethos of the club.

We just need to do what we did in the first half against Southampton six more times.

I tend to listen to my emotions when thinking about things like this, before I start verbalising about how I feel. And, I can genuinely say I wasn’t bothered at all about the result yesterday. Did not feel any negative emotions. I guess that means I don’t like anything about the club, which is pretty sad when ten years ago I was crying with happiness when Hazard scored.

Fvckin depressing that our football world has been reduced down to wanting fvckin Portsmouth and fvckin Oxford to draw.

We’ll win this but still go down.

Don’t know you if you watched the three part Sky doc on Blair, but if you didn’t, and spoiler alert - no.

I’m picturing:

We insolve next season

Happy birthday to me… happy birthday to me… happy birthday dear Leicester fan….. happy… birthday… to.. me…. 😟

Sinners - loved it. Great example in the blues horror genre.

What the f£&@ was Thomas doing? Running into his own goal not even looking at any of their players, let alone stopping any of them.

Mentality is atrocious. I know footballers are, on the whole, utter arseholes but surely they still derive pleasure from doing their job well? They’re like a bunch of arsy, entitled 10 year olds, the lot of them. Utterly detestable that they so overtly do not care about the club, the travelling fans, nothing. willy pullers.

Yeah, I totally get that viewpoint, and normally don’t let social issues ruin my fun if I otherwise enjoy a program. However, the oil company spiel, in the context of how the program is presented (overt product placement, general “America is great” vibe) was an annoyance too far. Throw in an elderly guy being distracted by his colleague’s young daughter sunbathing, and making a (supposedly) comedic scene out of this, replete with arse shots and bouncing arse shots, and I started seeing the program as some kind of Republican throwback, “good old days with good old boys” MAGA PR exercise. There’s plenty of other stuff for me to watch 🤣

In one scene all the bigwigs were at a conference - guy on stage essentially saying that climate change is fake news.
