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 🫣

Not had this kind of nervous energy for a game for a fair old while. Simply put it's a massive game for our season. We were pathetic in how we squandered our lead at their place - peak Cooperball after a good first half. As wrong as their first goal was, the second half performance was appalling - cowardly deer in the headlights inviting constant pressure, which eventually squandered two vital points against a team that are often goalshy and contrived to do everything they could not to bag on the day. I sincerely hope we're brave throughout this one and put them to the sword. We as fans need to see that, and not just against bang average Championship sides, but against direct rivals. Lose and that's it, we might as well plan for the Championship again. I think that's a fair analysis regardless of how much of the season is left to play, because I can't see this group of lads pulling 2014-15 form out of their arses without the leaders we had in the squad back then. The momentum needs to build now or it never will.

I mean they're literally named after the chairman's favourite way to dispatch his enemies

Super subs! Get in

I thought i might be imagining it but nope, just looked back through their results since they played us. Drew with Ipswich Drew with Southampton Lost to Wolves Drew with Everton Beat Palace... Knobs!

Fulham are proper pissing me off this season, I swear to god they gift points to teams around us every week, but you just know they're going to do the double over us this Saturday

I'm sorry, I hate this, whatever the wider optics of 'upsetting the big boys'. Hate 'em, always have, always will, and their joy just compounds a miserable season.

Finally deleted Xitter last week after a solid year of debating it. I'd strongly recommend others hooked on it to do the same. It's been liberating. I realised gradually that I wasn't enjoying using it anymore, despite feeling obliged to stick around after years of building a decent chunk of followers. The decline under Musky Boy has been unbelievable though - it's now just a transparently awful place where the worst of society - the racists, scammers, perverts, religious nutters, chancers and bad actors - thrive. And that's without even mentioning the epidemic of AI and bots that have replaced human interaction. Sports are just a crystallisation of the wider rot on the site - intentional spreading of misinformation and often outright lies, to feed agendas and conspiracies, because that's what gets the most clicks and ad revenue. They don't care one bit about consequences - it's good for business! The same goes for Facebook, which I'm resigned to having to keep until my boomer relatives, for whom it's my only point of contact, shuffle off this mortal coil. Sometimes I catch myself scrolling through my "wall" and realise that it's original function - to check in on one another and see what your friends and family have been up to - has been lost under a sea of content farming, political bait and AI slop that you didn't ask to see.

Pisses me off no-end that the chap-lipped muppet tried to claim he wasn't backed in the transfer market. We spaffed over £200 million in the windows between him coming and Covid hitting, and £40 million on panic buys in Jan 2023 when the wheels were coming off. Our annual "marquee sale" policy to fund it obviously hit the buffers like an express train the moment the pandemic happened, and the rest is history. He filled the squad with mostly crap players, ballooned the wage bill, and left us on the financial precipice when our form collapsed and our bargaining power shrivelled up. We even let Madders go for probably £30 million less than he was actually worth, because Spurs knew our pants were down as a relegated club. It's a toss up between Rudkin, and him and his backroom team / scouts, for who is most to blame for the mess we're now in.

Well now we really CAN solely lay any blame for relegation at the club hierarchy's feet. You have no excuses. Pull your finger out.

Careful what you wish for, Ruud will be joining them if he hears that

don't threaten me with a good time

Source?

After being subjected to two years of a CDM in Amartey being shoehorned into the backline under Rodgers, it would be a refreshing change to see a player do the opposite. Faes has the attributes to do that job well. About the only way a lot of fans will be having him as a first team regular going forwards to be honest - most of us have seen enough to know he's not going to show the consistency of focus we need to stay in the league.

This is our 'strongest team'.

Well that's another week of FoxesTalk hyperbole over then. I look forward to Monga's debut away at Bromley in the League Cup next season.

An eloquent, six-paragraph piece that all leads to insulting Jon Rudkin? Post of the year.

I'll print a few of these too, might need them on A3 paper for the coach one hardcore though

There, I fixed it in a way everyone except far-right thugs will like. I'll unironically print a few of these to put around as a bit of a fightback, it's embarrassing enough being a Leicester fan right now without these morons making neutrals actually hate us.

I think a bit of sick came up. The mental bastard would absolutely buy it too. You'd just have to tell him the word Fox has an X in it and we're sponsored by a crypto scam and he'd be on the next plane to East Midlands Airport.
