  1. F**king sh*t F**king sh*t Leicester City, F**king sh*t F**king sh*t I say, F**king sh*t F**king sh*t Leicester City, Throwing Automatic away 🤬🦊
  2. Even when we’ve been strolling past teams in the early part of the season, we’ve been so casual, bordering on arrogant. We always seem to think we’ll get something just because we have ā€˜better players’. Again it’s evident there is still a sloppy attitude running through this group and I don’t know how we weed it out! The amount of chances we have given teams during the season is concerning! I should’ve put money on Millwall 1-0 tonight, it was worryingly predictable. I backed the mentality of them after Leeds away, but it looks like I was wrong. We seem determined to throw this away. At least with the final two away games moved, it’s saved me 60 odd quid on tickets! Sightseeing in London on the coach back was more entertaining!! Mavididi had one of his stinkers, how he stayed on over Yunes is beyond me, but as he’s the only one who can do something out of nothing, I get it a bit as well. Why we gave up attacking after the first ten minutes I will never understand. Disappointed but sadly not surprised
  3. Happy with that. Abdul looked like he was taking too much on against Birmingham. Yunes made a great impact and deserves a start
  4. Amazing city to visit šŸ™Œ
  5. Charleroi airport then coach to Brussels. Direct flight to Brussels main airport for when we were going were starting at £208!
  6. Brussels booked for mid May, planning on visiting Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp as well
  7. Felt like it wasn’t coming, but we broke them down in the end. Nice to be the ones getting the late winner after recent weeks. Thought Yunes and Praet made an impact of the bench. Was crying out for Yunes or Praet for Ndidi 10-15 minutes earlier, but all that mattered today was the result. Great roar for the winning goal. Millwall will be a bit grittier than they were earlier in the season, fighting for their lives, but should hold no fear if we play like we have the past two games
  8. No thought for the match going fan as normal. Rules me out of going, was looking forward to that one
  9. Fantastic performance. Even bounced back after conceding a poor goal. Good to come from behind to win. Aggression, pressure and faster passing that has been missing for weeks since Leeds. For some reason we eased off it after the second goal, could’ve made it safe before stoppage time. Much needed. If we can keep that attitude and aggression for the rest of the 7 games, we can put automatic promotion firmly in our grasp.
  10. Has Hayley McQueen done her badges 🤣
  11. I’m usually an optimist but the only positive today was seeing Andy King. I said last year that there were quite a few players in this squad I couldn’t warm too, and it’s time to say that despite the first 2/3 of this season, that has not changed. Not enough of them have fight about them, when the going gets tough, they hide. That ā€˜performance’ today was pathetic, and yet despite that if Vards takes one of those chances, we might have won. Fair play to Bristol City, they deserved it. Kept their shape, carried some threat and we didn’t know what to do to break through them. Late subs yet again - closing the stable after the horse has bolted. No urgency. Plenty giving them stick in the stands at full time and I don’t blame them
  12. Archeological museum is worth a visit. A lot of the original artefacts from pompeii in there, we didn’t get chance to go. Maradona mural in the Spanish quarter is a big attraction nowadays, like a pilgrimage for a lot of people going to Naples. Funiculars for viewpoints. Via Toledo is the Main Street with lots of shops and access to the Spanish quarter. The Santa Chiara monastery is something we missed but looks beautiful as well. Just mingling in the small streets is an experience. There is one street where they make nativity scenes (can’t remember the name) but people from all over Italy go there as well. We booked a private tour with a local who can show you main sights or things you want to see. And of course get a pizza!
  13. Uber available in Naples as well, metro is a good way of getting around. Single ticket is €1.50 on the metro šŸ‘.
  14. Thought Maya Jama looked sensational on comic relief last week
  15. For me I’d say Capri, but we had the whole day as opposed to a short visit to Sorrento. The scenery in both is stunning,
  16. Very envious, enjoy. We had a fantastic trip šŸ’ššŸ¤ā¤ļø
  17. Just back from Naples. Crazy place, dirty streets, mopeds everywhere but full of life and passion. Managed to go to the Amalfi Coast, Capri & Pompeii as well. Weather was fantastic!
  18. It’s not football anymore 😢
  19. Off to Naples a week on Monday. Planning on visiting Amalfi coast and Capri. Any other suggestions welcome
  20. Thoroughly depressing but not necessarily unexpected news. Does make you wonder what the point is sometimes. Financial fair play in name is a nice idea, but it’s ended up just ā€˜putting clubs like us in their place’ strive to be successful and punished. Go back up, come straight back down, likely with more of a financial hit from being relegated again. It’s very much we need to go up, but what’s the point when we’ll likely end up with a poorer side as a result! We have failed badly deviating from what made us a success in the first place. We got a taste of the top table and grew hungry for more, and now getting stung for it. Sustaining top six premier league football on our budget was always living on the edge, where a couple of ā€˜below average’ or bad seasons plunges you into a different financial position. Guilty of overspending on wages (Rodgers included) and poor recruitment, and it’s coming back to bite us on the arse. By no means am I clued up on business and finance, but paying 3-4 players Ā£80k+ a week (probably more that 3-4) was never sustainable long term
  21. Looks knackered and out of form at the moment. Was crying out for Albrighton to replace him tonight. With the lack of midfield options at the moment, he’s starting as he’s one of the few creative sparks available at present. International break can’t come soon enough for him to rest his legs and refresh for the run in
  22. Trying to decide whether hanging on for 3pts and keeping the clean sheet will do us good or not in the long run. That was not a fun second half to watch but boy did we need that after Saturday. Looked like we got away with one with the pen at the end but I’ve heard others say it was a dive. Will need to be much better at Hull, but will take the points all day long!
  23. As unfortunate as we were at Leeds, today we got what we deserved. Frustrating as QPR offered nothing, but were clinical. We love to throw a 14 point lead away. Today was abject. Play like today and we’ll throw automatic away. Tough games still to come, we’ve given a shot in the arm to the chasing pack. When Mavididi and Fatawu aren’t clicking, we have nothing in reserve. I’d have hooked Mavididi for Albrighton. Thought we missed Vestergaard today. Hope Ricky P is back soon
