I live in hope that the club get exactly what they deserve for treating fans like customers. Which is fans voting with their feet and choosing not to come to games next season, because the product is garbage and represents terrible value for money. Calling it now - we will have at least one game with sub-20k attendance next season. Not officially, because of the bullshit way they count season tickets as attending even when they don't, but realistically it's only going to take a poor start for the hangers-on to pack it in and stay home. It's already happening now in the EPL, good luck selling out Wycombe at home on a Tuesday night.

Yeah, this is the worst in my lifetime. I have only vague childhood memories of the Tater Peeler season, but even that only really comparable to the Rodgers relegation - a well-balanced squad built by his predecessor, filled with inferior replacements that ultimately failed with a whimper despite probably being good enough to survive on paper. In hindsight, the lows beyond that Bolton loss only really got as bad as the futile wait for Akinbiyi to come good. We've got that again with Daka, and in so many other positions throughout the side. We're also getting tonked far more regularly than Tater's side ever did. Like others have said, there's zero passion, nobody on that field bar Vardy seems to care. Even the team I saw relegated to League One had the likes of Hume, Howard, Oakley, Kisnorbo, Wesolowski, who seemed to care. And the stats obviously back up how uniquely appalling this squad is. Minus 40 goal difference. Record breaking goalless streaks. It would be causing riots in the stands at clubs less placid than ours.

The last ten minutes, when the 4000 of us left stopped giving a shit and started ironically cheering everything and singing 'championship again olé olé', was the most fun I've had down there in months. Even UFS had given up after the second goal. It's finished. There's nothing to sing for anymore besides gallows humour.

He'll be important next season. He's a Championship standard player. Probably be the next Vestergaard in that respect - a forgotten man who surprises the fanbase by stepping up against inferior opposition. Like others have said, I don't have any ill will towards Skipp himself, just the board for pathetically spaffing what little transfer budget we had on someone of his caliber. He's just the ultimate example of how poorly-run we are, moreso than Reid or Ayew given they cost peanuts in comparison. I dread to think what wage he's on, though. Will not be in the least bit surprised if it comes out that he's in the top 10 best paid players in the second tier next year.

To be fair, Daka has probably been scoring goals without us even noticing - the ball is just ending up in a parallel universe before it hits the net.

Moving soon, can't wait to be 100 miles from this shitshow

Anyone posting team news? Don't use Xitter anymore

First game in over a month for me, normally would be buzzing, today I'm feeling absolutely nothing.

There's clearly something wrong when I'm pissed off that Ipswich are collapsing against Forest. At this point I think I'm actually more invested in them bottling UCL than anything that helps prolong our delusions of survival. God, what a depressing season. The worst ever.

Matt Piper's been calling him out as not good enough for weeks now on the radio. It's very unusual for him to single out players, but it's been a consistent point amongst his (very good) rants and forensics.

Bristol City making an actual playoff push instead of just being nailed on for 12th is a nice surprise. Be a shame if they go up and we go down though, proper good city for an away day.

Would actually make a great spectacle if a group of fans all did it at once with the same book, cover clearly visible for the cameras. Any ideas of which book to use?

The expansion was going to be funded with loans taken out against TV money from the top flight. Our club's moronic structure let the relegation of 22-23 happen through sheer ineptitude, which jeapordised everything. They're just too shady to publicly admit that it's now dead in the water unless by some miracle we survive and get the second year's worth of EPL money we need for it. Internally, I think they gave up on it by the time we lined up against Cov that August.

I mentioned it before a few months back when it happened, but it kind of got overlooked so I'll mention it again - I met him with some other folks including an ex colleague of his after a match last season and, while he was great company and very knowledgeable, let's just say he was very loose with inside info about the club. Basically told us [some fairly confidential info about the expansion and its likelihood of happening after relegation. Which at that point was not good, and based on what he told us is now 90% not happening.] That's coming from someone inside the club structure, knowing full well how secretive they are about anything. If you're willing to tell some randoms in the Blues Bar stuff like that, I can imagine there's more to his dismissal than just getting Rudkin a hearty boo at the Clock Tower.

Had the (dis) pleasure of visiting a friend in Coventry overnight, which would be my first time in the city proper rather than their crappy stadium which may as well be in Nuneaton. Good lord what a dump. I wasn't sure if the tales about the centre were exaggerated but nah, it really is like they cobbled together all the worst bits of Birmingham's 60s concrete hellscape into one car-centric monstrosity. There were some very sketchy characters around once night fell too. Loads of roadmen, far more than I'm used to seeing in town. Even the suburbs are just... Nothing. I took a wrong turn driving out and ended up in Radford, which is supposed to be a 'nice' bit of town but as it turns out is just miles and miles of... Well, nothing. Just endless rows of semi-detached houses with barely any amenities or proper transport connections. Yuck. It's the only time, besides our recent trip with the foxes to Walsall, that I've realised that - while Leicester is far from perfect - it could be so much worse.

Bears repeating that Leicester gave the Tories their only gain in the entire country last election. 🤮

Ricardo, Ndidi, chose other because despite his detractors I'd happily keep McAteer around for another Championship campaign, lad at least gives a shit and was effective last year. Accidentally selected Mads to keep but i think realistically he needs selling alongside BEK to maximise our budget to rebuild. We have a perfectly good backup in Jakub for the second tier. And both are realistically getting poached even if we somehow survive. Bin the rest to whatever extent possible.

If two up top works, it's absolutely vital we make a space for either Evans or (god forbid) Edouard on the bench, so we aren't forced into a formation change when in the ascendancy. We can't do it without any backup in the position. It's all relative mind you - this is LCFC in 2025, it's not going to work.

Not exactly going to sit here and gloat at him struggling for them. Mostly because he's more than likely going to be contracted at a Premier League team next season, and it ain't us!

That Wolves equaliser is everything we arent.

To be fair, Luke Thomas is the cautionary tale against throwing academy products in at the deep end - after some early promise, the tail end of 21-22 and the debacle of the relegation season absolutely tanked his development. That being said, I think the current situation is very different. There's a clear acknowledgement that the first team as a whole is terrible, and I think (or at least hope) the fanbase will be a lot more forgiving of youth players that come in even if they weren't to set the world on fire. I don't think even the blindest fan now expects the likes of Alves and Braybrook to drag us back to a top-6 position, we just want a new spine that has some energy and displays even a hint of being proud to wear the shirt.

this is the season we deserve 🤮

Not sure what's going to be more shit next season - watching F*rest and C*v play each other in the top flight without us, or the Sheep not even have the courtesy to give us a local Derby of any sort. We deserve everything we get as a club, team and in many cases as a fanbase too. Feels like the football gods are personally making things as embarrassing as possible for us right now.

Imagine having one in your squad instead of someone who was one 10 years ago

TV's got me jealous of a Plymouth defender, bugger me we've sunk so low
