They will never take any action that appears to forcibly move anyone from *their* seat. The last time they did it absolutely terrified them.

I love Nigel. Genuinely, my second favourite Leicester manager after O'Neill, but I think due to perception of time people forget we first hired him 17 years ago. He's not the 44 year old man holding a scarf with Mandaric any more. He's still recovering from what seems like a severe illness. The last thing he needs now is to be thrown into a near-impossible relegation battle.

I'm sure Anstey wouldn't say no to the increased gate receipts but surely part of the appeal is watching some of our Premier League winners and those who helped build up to it run around a modest non-League ground at close quarters rather than being sat a fair distance from the pitch.

A lot of people will forget he was absolutely awful at first, until Martin O'Neill took him off at half time, said he was an absolute disgrace and Claridge said "Sorry, boss. I can't feel my legs." Only then he got the treatment he needed and the rest is history.

My half of the stand was looking at Kalac, amazed by what was happening. It came in the form of a ripple as the fans nearer the Palace goal saw what was happening first and slowly the rest of us caught on.

Maybe don't harass people who are out and about? Show it in the ground. You might get hit by a flask for doing so, but it's more appropriate.

Because I do a Lancashire to Leicester run for nearly every home game. This one is little more than a tram across town

Feels like 2011 under Sven right now. We'd still be in that mess if Nige hadn't come back to take over pretty much everything. I still can't believe back then we'd have Derek Fazackerley go on Radio Leicester discussing the tactics pre-match for any opposition staff members smart enough to have a radio.

I miss Jack Hobbs and Lloyd Dyer...

**** me you're weird.

We know the squad is garbage. That was obvious from the start. We know the board have ****ed Ruud by not spending and sod PSR having seen that teams that do this get a minimal points deduction with the upside being they don't get relegated. Of the players we have signed, they seem to have no purpose except in a top secret ledger somewhere in Rudkin's office. The fact that Ruud tries the same thing game after game in this run of form is baffling. You could pick an 11 by wearing a blindfold and throwing darts at a dartboard and it has more chance of working than what we're currently doing. There is literally nothing to lose by mixing things up right now.

Working for Michael-Golding-Mayer?

Also the ticketing site doesn't say it's on General Sale?

It's okay, the club doesn't need "legacy fans" after all. People from around the globe are queuing up to see Ayew-Vardy-BDCR in person. Before they get retired to a museum.

This feels like a 1994 level of unpreparedness for the top flight. And that's a criminally low bar to currently be ducking under.

Hard to say if it's this season, two years ago or 01/02.

When we got relegated to League One, I decided I'd seen the worst thing that could ever happen to the club and I wouldn't let the negativity rule my life any more. I'm close to feeling as negative about things now as I did back in 2008, but more importantly, I'm starting to realise that being a regular at the ground is just a waste of time...

Said before the game that we shouldn't have started with that same front three Criticised the players for disappearing off at full time Constructive criticism for all involved on and off the pitch. Openly loves the club as a local radio pundit should.

Rudkin Out minute was weak. He'll know he can ride it out if that's the best we can do

Loud Facundo chants from minute one tonight then?

Bad news. I've been told I don't need surgery today. I tried to beg them to make me miss the game tonight but it's no good.

Didn't we have a sell out at Filbo for Man U reserves once because three United first team players were getting match fit after injury? I think I read it on here once.

Soumaré is still a better box to box midfielder than Jason Jarrett. Let's count our blessings.

Lyon v Lille would like a word

I can't be there as I'll be in the hospital and the only reason I'm looking forward to listening to it is because it means they were able to bring me out of anaesthesia.
