I have a 12 hour night shift beforehand, but you bet I'll be there, even if I'm cranky, annoyed and half asleep. And that's before Leicester have kicked a ball.

If you ever need to explain to a happy clapper why the crowd is turning about this man called Rudkin they've never heard of, kindly explain that he sanctioned a £20 MILLION transfer for this potato. I was on the fence about him, really just feeling he was an easy scapegoat, but nah, today was his worst yet. He's just got absolutely nothing about him, and he cost us 20 Jamie Vardys, 2.5 Leo Ulloas, 50 Riyad Mahrez's. He's the epitome of our suicidal transfer policy over the last near-decade. He's been compared to Andy King in terms of his playstyle and limited but battling skillset. What an insult to one of our all-time greats. King did 100x as much in the top flight.

Half this board still blames Wellens for everything. Purely for the memes, gerremin

Get Pearson a wheelchair and a bag of fireworks to throw at the players

We made our decision, deal with it. Today he officially lost the crowd, the atmosphere was already ugly and he made it five times worse with THAT double sub. But as with everything else associated with this shitshow, it's on the board for bad decision after bad decision. The good news is, the Rudkin Out and Sack The Board chants were by far the loudest today - the absolute pisstake we witnessed probably turned a good 4-5000 quiet grumblers around SK1 into bonafide board-slagging hecklers today, and long may it continue.

Think i've had a change of heart, I will go today after all. Not for the football, just turns out I need to be in town this evening anyway so might as well. That's the level of absolute passhun i'm bringing to the table for this one. Club's broken me.

This belongs here https://old.reddit.com/r/AccidentalRenaissance/ Does anyone have the picture of I think Huth or Iborra bemoaning a free kick given against us that made the front page on there? EDIT - found it

F.O.A.D has never been more relevant

Ever since he was our manager I've called filling up the car going to get some "Claude Fuél". I think I might be on the spectrum.

Turns up after everyone's left with a burnt gammon which was in the reduced to clear, but which he somehow paid double full price for

Vardy's casino sends it's regards, you racist bastards

Skipping this one. Work ends an hour before kickoff for me, and i can't be arsed with the stress of battling my way into town and rushing to the ground for a potential repeat of Wednesday. Be the first one I've missed that I could actually get to in 18 years.

I was hoping he was going to go and plant that flag in the centre circle, West Ham style. Would have sent a message. I'd like to think it was some sort of protest but nah, I think he was just a tanked-up muppet.

Not to derail the thread, but which odd gems were they? Fofana's the only one I can think of, and even he I think wasn't exactly a world-beater, we just got lucky that Chelsea went absolutely mad after their embargo was lifted. The only player to properly come through under Rodgers I can think of was Barnes, and he was an academy product. Maddison and Ricardo were both Puel-era signings, and Tielemans was a loanee under Puel before we chose to take him on permanently in the summer. That just leaves the likes of Perez and Justin, neither of which you could say with a straight face have had stand-out spells with us, and the latter of which is public enemy number one with a lot of the fanbase at present.

This is based on them not quite making automatics and losing in the playoffs. Or we can apply the same scenario to Sunderland if they sign him. He's going to flourish in a better set-up than Stoke, mark my word.

I look forward to him bagging a brace against us next season for a resurgent Sheffield United, top of the goalscorer chart with the Blades five clear at the top of the league while we're languishing in midtable. Daka scores a consolation for us in a 3-1 loss, his first in two months after a torrid season where our lack of goals has become our achilles heel.

Given the absolute state of our squad and lack of feasible options up front, if we sell Cannon I'm done. The cherry on top of appalling recruitment policy that has led us to where we are. I don't give a shit if these rumours of a "bust up with Vardy" are even true - he's the only striker on our books to hit double figures this season. And quite frankly we won't have any options next year if we go down - the thought of Daka being the main man as we rot away into second-tier also-rans is enough to make me not want to bother with my season ticket any more.

I mean what else do you want? The squad is shit. We've spent ten years bemoaning manager after manager for a lack of bravery, but when one finally goes 4-4-2 to go for it, he can't exactly help having Championship level players at his disposal. Kasey did more in 5 minutes than Facundo did in an hour, by the way. It's not his fault he's not up to this level. Any competent club hierarchy would have had his ilk out on loan to continue to grow his game. RVN gets the season for me, and next if he wants it. Would not blame him for jumping before he's pushed with this squad and absolute moron of a DoF though.

Think I'm done. Beyond caring. We're just not good enough and we're not going to be at any point. ... see you on Saturday after two days of mental gymnastics to convince myself otherwise

Announcing the much-begged-for new Right Back literally during the countdown to the most pivotal game in our season is peak Rudkin.

He's unforgettable. And even if you do forget him, there are ten more of him.

It's a bit like Mark Goldbridge accidentally giving Jude Bellingham £7 million a week in negotiations... Or a £1 release clause. It's funny until you realise that Rudkin is basically Mark Goldbridge, but in 'real life'.

Got a weird feeling we're due a proper thriller tonight... just hope we're on the right end 🫣
