Called every minor coming together a foul, then didn’t have the cojones to call an obvious pen.

16 so far

Leicester City Football Club, the Apex Predator of the EFL, going in for the kill.

I keep hearing the Foxeshub comm say "too much pressure" as this ref whistles us for another foul. Since when is "too much pressure" a foul?

Who picked this as the inspirational poster for our dressing room ?!

Jeez. Even JV can't get out of his own head and finish

That usually comes with experience

25 starts, not appearances, is what I read when we signed the loan

He's gone for experience in JV and Coady, with Wilf and Kevin available. Along the lines of what most of us were hoping.

2,000 - 1. Probably as long odds as anything since 2015/16.

IT'S THE PLAYER WAGES GUYS! We've spent millions upon millions on immoveable objects on four and five year plans.

Damn near impossible, considering it requires an Ayoze Perez hat trick.

With two out-of-form sides, it’s easy to understand some pessimism about this match. What I don’t understand is how folks are already jumping over the side screaming, taking their chances with the sharks. Enzo has earned more than that.

Rather like a bunch of competing/cooperating mafias isn't it? National associations, FIFA, UEFA et al, skimming enough easy money they (a) don't have to manage their own affairs well, and (b) mostly avoid the trouble of direct confrontation. The expansion of the Club World Cup will put FIFA on a direct collision course with the PL and UEFA, though. So coexistence may finally turn to war.

Important points worth reiterating: - “Other clubs suspect” does NOT mean “information is in hand” - the two worst COVID years combine for one year in FFP calculations. Last year, the club published annual accounts on March 7. So it’s possible the 2022/23 results are now in hand and this is a genuine leak. But the article does not read that way. We won’t have long to wait to find out the truth. But why lose your rag over something in the Sun.

Blame the board for lack of support Blame the refs Blame the players Blame the fans Just four more matchdays ... not much time to cram half of his routine in. But he'll manage it

Puel built a talented squad.

I hope that's what at least 51% of us woke up thinking this morning.

Bookies don't have opinions. They mostly set the odds algorithmically, to keep equal money on both sides of the proposition, ensuring they make their 7%* (or whatever) cut. Their computers change the odds in real time as the wagering pools or game situations change. Purely a reflection of the market, with as little left to chance as possible. Our 5,000-1 was a famous exception. It was a slightly simpler time, and some bookie must have thought that would be a "fun" proposition to pull a few crazy optimists into the shop. They haven't offered such odds again have they? * accumulators can turn that 7% into 50%.

Whoever thinks the bookie is "utterly deluded" is the bookie's most lucrative customer. Their impartial experts and computer algorithms are not capable of delusion. Punters who bet acca's are the next-most-lucrative customers. On a single match you are getting 7% worse odds than the actual real odds of that happening. By the time you get to a six leg accumulator if the bookies are giving you odds of 51.00 (50/1) the fair odds would actually be 76.00 (75/1). https://patrickjamesoneill.medium.com/why-betting-accumulators-arent-as-good-as-they-seem-d449de75cb9f

The table as it exists: The table according to Pliskin:

We seem more out of sync the further the season goes on. It should be the other way round.
