  1. Interesting wasn't it? Same personnel, same tactics but the players upped the intensity big time...the opening goal forced them to. Exactly what we need to get out of this mess is that the players learn how to find a way,. mid game,.to win matches. It takes fight and hard running in addition to ability and tactics
  2. True, tho that was the aylestone side of the monsell, ie this side of glenhills boulevard.
  3. I get it. I'm a huge critic of our city can't find its niche. But, Leicester has it in patches and never underestimate the power of something new Last summer I had two mates.from Cov and Leamington over for a drink. Started at the exchange (next to curve), that other boozer (Manhattan,.now changed name) chutney Ivy, walked up.over Charles at up belvoir street, drinks bottom on new.walk over to st Martin's finish up on high street and end up jubilee sqaure for kebab and taxi home. They thought Leicester looked and felt fantastic.
  4. I agree. But, tbf, a waterside port city is always gonna have an edge on an inland city. Plus, it's a regional capital. You can drive 2 hours north, south or east and only find places like Dorchester, Swindon and Yeovil as an economic and social 'competitor'
  5. Surreal, if he said that.. Bit like a pilot saying that Michael O' Leary at Ryanair doesn't expect him to land the plane safely. Fair enough. But the passengers do!
  6. Was all a fake/front anyway, set up in response to the expose of illegal immigrant Indians working in Leicester sweatshops for about 4 rupees a week. Nobody ever worked there
  7. I take a fonder view. There were moments provided by Madders and Youri that were magical. I can't stand Evans now, but he too had moments with us that were fun (him telling players in 88 mins at Southampton to get on with it and get the record, putting Kane into Row Z with a fair tackle) It's all fun in the end
  8. That is never ever ever a foul If anything, Gordon fouls Kalvin Philips
  9. Am I imagining this, or did Birch once dress up as Winston Churchill and gave a speech pre match?
  10. The squad Is clearly miles above the standard needed to go up. It's nonsense to claim otherwise. Is it delusional to believe that Kels is, if utilised properly, a better player than George Hirst? Yet Hirst was lead man for our biggest rival. You reckon Kieran McKenna, in an ideal world,.would've signed Kels.or Hirst this summer? Or that Souttar was signed last season as essentially the top championship centre half....yet our manager refuses to play him. We also signed another proven top championship player, Doyle, who the manager asks to perform a role he clearly isn't equipped for. There's three players, all of whom deemed not suitable by our manager, who'd more or less walk into any team.in the division. How about KDH, who most people freely admit is the best player in the division. As for your jibe at Wilf, he's been largely outstanding this season. Another level.
  11. Oh for Mike Stowell right now!
  12. We couldn't buy a win. However, Pearson (always tactically clueless) kept shaking the team up, changing formations and personnel in a desperate hail mary to stop the freefall. It didn't work til Forest away. But, I guess, at least he tried to arrest the slide.
  13. The absurdity is, Enzo himself has said on a number of occasions that the opposition 'played how we expected' after a win or 'didnt play as we expected and I had to fix the issues at half time' ....yet we play, as expected, every single game.. Had it not occurred to him that other managers react to us too?
  14. Leeds aren't that different to Ipswich. They kinda just hang on in games, don't do a lot except wait for that break. It works. It's infuriating. But grudging respect
  15. I think it's dawning on us that we might have to suffer agony before we can move on. If we are to be promoted,.it's a prolongation of the shambolic, messianic running of the club. A points deduction,. minimum three seasons in the championship and financial ruin might be the only way route back to the PL under a new, open, fresh and collegiate ownership.. The North Korean style 'our dear leader' MO has run its course.
  16. This is my fave comment today 👌😊
  17. I agree. I've banged on and on about football is not about being better, it's about winning. The manager should be ashamed of himself. If he was a decent man, Micky Adams style,.he should offer his resignation His performance is atrocious
  18. Two points behind an appalling Ipswich..it's a disgrace
  19. Watched about 60 mins of that off and on, and Ipswich didn't do a single thing.. They are the polar opposite to us..they are all substance and zero style
  20. Funny, but I'm ok with him... Fatawu frustrates/annoys me much more (doesn't mean I dislike him,.he's just.not ready for the business end of the season as a starter) But Stephy I just feel he's worth plugging away with. Teams dislike him more than Fatawu
  21. David Pleat years too. Shipman selling anything that moved and similarly to enzo, Pleat hellbent on playing 'attractive', tepid football - blissfully unaware that being rolled over by Oldham, Hull, Bristol Rovers and Oxford every week was anything but attractive.
  22. I get the point that sacking a manager when third with a game in hand sounds, on the face if it absurd. But what if we were 8 games out from relegation? Would it be absurd then to sack and hope for a bounce? For, to me, this is about a relegation, not a promotion. Promotion was a given. We had a free pass. *17 point head start *Given a full premier league squad with the biggest wage budget ever *Spending the most money ever to improve the PL squad *Being asked to play absolute garbage opponents every week ....and despite all that, not even being asked to win the league. Second will do. Never had a manager had so many odds stacked in his favour. This is a relegation. Place him on gardening leave now. And bring in an interim. This is a relegation in all but name.
  23. Ipswich could field a team of paraplegic clowns and still win the league
  24. It's extraordinary 25 years of misery all piled into one season of unadulterated luck
