Probably just what the League Cup needs - it's been utterly boring watching the usual suspects - who clearly don't give a shit about it - win it again and again for the past 11 years. I'd be glad to see either win it - yes, even Spuds. As hilarious as their trophy allergy is, at least their fans will appreciate it, and it might reignite a little bit of interest in a competition that the "big boys" have been fairly transparent in trying to sideline out of existence.

It's how we played during our greatest ever year, and I won't lie I'm jealous watching other teams do it because I genuinely thought we'd broken the dam and shown there was another way to play besides pound-shop Tiki Taka. Anyone who thinks it's 'ugly' or 'boring' to sit deep and play on the counter is watching the wrong sport. There is no greater thrill than turning it around in the blink of an eye and leaving the opposition wondering just what hit 'em. It's utterly depressing that our club hierarchy were brainwashed into thinking possession at all costs was the blueprint to build on. It's ruined our identity and led to some very questionable signings. Even during the 'good times' under Rodgers, it only ever really worked against teams also dead-set on the same style with worse players (like Southampton) - we regularly had our pants pulled down when another team set themselves up to counter - like yourselves twice down the City Ground, first in the cup and then the year after in the league.

History is proving very kind to Puel, as dross as the footy under him was. I think we'd have been in the shit situation we are now three or four years sooner without his generally shrewd recruitment and academy promotions.

Hell, on today's showing I'd play a wrong-sided Thomas at RB once VK comes back. It can't honestly be any worse, he's plumbed deeper depths this season than anything Luke served up the last time we went down.

BASTARD

Sidepoint, but imagine getting done for pace by Jordan Ayew

GET IN YOU SHIT BASTARD

fk saaaaaaaaake

Half-way there

and his wife is smelly

I've thought Stephy has been doing well defensively? Certainly helping Thomas ease into the game more than he has been doing in recent games for VK.

Soumare's having a good game, nice to see.

Thomas being in three relegated squads in two and a half seasons of Premier League football is quite some accomplishment when you think about it.

I'm from Charnwood mate, I only lived there for two years I'll let @Jattdogg field that one

I really upset some Chelsea nerds on Reddit last season when I pointed out that he was an obvious weak link in our team at Championship level, and that it showed what a mess they were that he was even making their bench. Apparently I was ungrateful and should kiss the ring for them even daring to let him grace our turf. Just a really, really average footballer without any obvious strengths or redeeming qualities. But he's on Chelsea's books so his stock is higher than it should be. He'll keep getting loans to second-tier clubs until it eventually becomes obvious that he's never going to make it in the top flight. A bit like a slightly less extreme version of Man City managing to pawn out Ryan McGivern to club after club before people caught on that he was shit.

I like Hamza, but the barrage on social media since he declared for Bangladesh has me ready to accept the first bid that comes in for him. If you put the Mahrez and Daka fanboys in a blender, you'd get the Bangladeshi ones that have suddenly discovered he exists in the last two weeks.

I hate Spurs so god damn much

Get in Spuds, now just don't f**k this u- oh what am i saying of course they will

Post fuuuuuugck

Moments like those make me even more angry that we pissed away points against Wolves by choosing Danny Ward ahead of other options

The morons in Leicester East didn't exactly help dispel the myth. The only Tory gain in the entire country while they were collapsing everywhere else.

I certainly haven't forgotten them racially abusing Lloyd Dyer during the Knockeart game. That started at 2-2, he got the last laugh. And the less said about the two decades they spent calling us a 'town full of [derogatory term for people from Pakistan]', the better. Vile bunch.

Ward lets that in

Danny is not beating the 'undercover Foxestalk account' allegations
